“Minimum Wage Machine”

“The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. For as long as they turn the crank, the user is paid in pennies as time passes. For example, if minimum wage is $7.25/hour (the current US Federal rate), then the worker is paid one penny every 4.97 seconds. If they stop turning the crank, they stop receiving money. The machine's mechanism and electronics are powered by the hand crank, and pennies are stored in a plexiglas box. The MWM is reprogrammed as minimum wage changes, or for wages in different locations.”

Usenet, the precursor to online communities, was already shaping digital culture before the internet boom.

Remembering Usenet - The OG Social Network that Existed Even Before the World Wide Web

Before Facebook, before MySpace and even before the Word Wide Web, there existed Usenet. From LOL to Linux, we owe a lot to Usenet.

I really miss my Usenet newsgroups. I was very active on them from the late 1980s to late 2010s when they started to die out. I still do a weekly check on my groups but only one is still active, the one for a newsreader program.

A new Pew study offers data to back up what we have suspected for a while now: AI answers are draining all the traffic out of the web platformer.news/google-ai-over…

When users did not see an AI overview, the authors write, they clicked on links 15 percent of the time. When they did see one, that number fell nearly by half, to 8 percent.

The study also found that people are likelier to stop browsing after encountering an AI overview, suggesting that the overview has satisfied their curiosity. Researchers saw that outcome 26 percent of the time when AI overviews were displayed, up from 16 percent when they were not.

The Google study that told us what we already suspected

When users see AI overviews, clicks fall in half. How does the web survive?

"Of the dozens of policy proposals in Zohran Mamdani’s platform, few have generated as much debate as the Democratic mayoral nominee’s call for city-owned grocery stores.

"Progressives, food policy professors, and left-leaning publications have lauded the idea. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams characterized the plan as a “false promise,” while Mamdani’s opponent Andrew Cuomo dismissed the idea as a “slogan” that couldn’t come true. Gristedes owner and major Republican donor John Catsimatidis has threatened to close his stores rather than compete with subsidized city grocers.

"Both sides have largely missed a crucial point: New York already has a version of city-owned grocery stores. Namely, the six markets overseen by the city’s Economic Development Corporation, a nonprofit that manages city-owned property to boost economic development. These grocers include Essex Street Market on the Lower East Side, Moore Street Market in East Williamsburg, and others…"

Zohran Mamdani is calling for city-owned grocery stores. NYC already has them.

The idea has broad support from progressives, while some critics warn against “radical socialism.” But New York already has city-owned grocery stores.

When AI "leaders" warn of AI problems.

an Axios headline that reads: "OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns of AI 'fraud crisis' targeting consumer accounts"
