IMO, the internet has made it easier to sell knockoffs because people can't handle the items, so they think that anything that vaguely resembles each other is the same. These frames are basically knockoffs of Carrara, but this doesn't mean they're the same 🧵

What do we think of the new Honda Prelude? 🤔

If open source is bad for security why does the US army use Linux? Why does it power nuclear subs in the US and the top supercomputers? Why does it power all of our stock market infrastructure, like the New York Stock exchange? Why does it power every cloud? Why did the NSA create security enhanced Linux? Why are all the tools that build models, like Pytorch and containers and Transformers, open source? People fundamentally misunderstand the nature of open source. They don't seem to understand that its open nature is its strength, just like America's open nature was its strength, one that we are throwing away more and more with each passing day. Inevitably people and societies who benefit from openness regress at some point. They start fearing the dreaded "other", some threat from the outside that is always nebulous and shifting, a Boogeyman that must be stopped by closing off and closing up. Inevitably this leads to that former leader's decline as they embrace closed and get all the downsides of it, over centralization, bloat, lack of competition, stagnation, unaccountable companies who don't need to listen to customers because they are locked in. Growth slows. Decline starts slow and then accelerates. Open source powers 92% of all software in the world. I was a part of the first multi-billion dollar open source company, Red Hat, for a decade, starting when there were 1200 people and watching it grow at a record clip quarter after quarter to 10,000 people. Many people made the same arguments then against open source. They tried to kill it and yet now there are dozens of open source multi-billion dollar companies and all the major clouds and closed source companies rely on it. Imagine if Microsoft had been successful in killing open source in the early days? They would have slaughtered their own future business because open source powers more than 50% of their Azure cloud. Short sighted thinking is death in business and for societies. If you stand against open source you stand against reason, evidence, the entire history of software, and what made America great in the first place.

The Seiko TV Watch was produced in very limited numbers for a few years from 1982 and 1985. It’s technically a digital LCD wrist watch with a built-in TV screen and a separate TV receiver.

I don't think we should question the Jewishness of the protesters but also... the Hebrew is literally backwards
