I grew up on Long Island very close to Bethpage State Park, where I played many rounds of golf in my youth.
Every time I return to visit family I observe incivility now permeates across many aspects of life there; during driving, riding the train, waiting in line for something, in the dog park, etc.
And sure enough, I've also observed the massive rise of MAGA support there, which correlates with the descent into this barbaric behavior.
I'm very thankful to be living somewhere where people still treat each other decently.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/sep/28/usa-fans-ryder-cup-rory-mcilroy

For all those bicyclist voters in #CambridgeMA attached find a useful graphic from Cambridge Bike Safety regarding the candidate's support of safe streets.
Remember, in ranked choice voting it's important to NOT rank any candidate whom you would NOT want to see voted in.

Hannaford's recent weeklong outage has me wondering: Do companies truly understand the cost of cutting corners on engineering talent?
These unacceptably long outages which are more frequently occurring at major retailers highlights a common problem I'm seeing in tech: undervaluing highly experienced & knowledgeable engineers. It's way past time for companies to rethink their hiring priorities... stop cheaping out on your Ops and Sec talent, it's going to cost you far more in the end!
I'm exceptionally good at building reliable & resilient systems & teams, so it's super frustrating to be unemployed while witnessing preventable outages for which I could have made a difference. Yes, it's true, 30+ years of engineering experience doesn't come cheap, but I'm damn sure my price is far less than the loss in revenue from a weeklong eComm outage at a major business!
Anyway, if yer looking for a decent engineer/leader, please reach out...

Having tested Tesla's Full Self Driving (Supervised) on greater #Boston streets this past summer in my 2023 Model 3, my finding was that the level of effort to be on guard to react and correct against the car doing something wrong, potentially very rapidly, is GREATER than the level of effort to just drive the car yourself. So, that high level of effort defeated the entire purpose of FSD.
Hopefully they'll eventually achieve safe autonomous driving in difficult environments like Boston, but it seemed to me they were pretty far off still despite a bunch of articles written by folks seemingly on the take from Tesla showing stellar results on clearly cherry picked driving scenarios.
This article detailing the results from AMCI testing more closely matches my FSD experience:https://insideevs.com/news/735038/tesla-fsd-occasionally-dangerously-inept-independent-test/

Obscenely wealthy "businessman" who knows jack shit about building & running innovative tech companies nor has ever created an actual product valuable to mankind as said #tech companies have, demands #Google reduce headcount and pay its employees less!
For the good of all mankind, we must blunt the negative influence of the likes of #Hohn and #Singer and the rest of these activist investors who exist solely to enrich themselves at the expense of everything else.
