The ‘pleasant fiction’ of a rules-based order has been blown apart. It’s time for Australia to codify a bill of rights
What’s happening on American streets makes clear that a charter of rights does not prevent state overreach. But human rights must be more than a debating point.

Pinterest laid off its only icon designer as part of their AI-focused layoffs.
My current advice to my mentees in tech is that if you want to distinguish yourself, it's by how deeply you've embraced AI and how much it's made you more productive. Being the voice of opposition to "AI slop" or "work slop" is a great way to volunteer for the next round of "AI productivity gains" driven layoffs.

I grew these mushrooms in a cloth grow bag using only wood chips as the substrate. I thought that they would fruit in the top, but instead they actually fruited through the fabric in the bottom.
They struggled a bit due to the low humidity indoors, but I spray them with water several times a day, so I will be able to harvest something.

lots of people angry about the "non comment" but I think it's a good sign.
They can't just throw a guy under the bus and call it a day on a Friday afternoon. There is a lot of conversations that need to happen internally. I'd prefer it if they said something like "oopsie, this should never have happened", sure. But the goal here seems to precisely communicate that those conversations are going to happen next week.
Let's wait and see what does come out of them

Not only are new employees unfamiliar with it, but also design faults in the specifications are known & discussed on bug reporting platforms. I won't try to list them, but a review is urgently needed with assessment of possible outside 'interference'.
