A bigger World Cup is a better World Cup

A bigger World Cup is a better World Cup

This tournament has been great so far. But 48 teams create an awkward bracket. A 64-team World Cup is the inevitable outcome — and maybe the better one.

Updated RAM numbers

The problem with stats is you start obsessing over them and get distracted. This is why I don’t even look at website analytics or referrers anymore. But now that we have a little more data on RAM for Mac customers, it is interesting… 56% at 24 GB or more.

This is just people who have already updated to Micro.blog 4.0.

A pie chart shows data distribution with segments labeled by gigabytes and percentages: 16 GB at 32%, 32 GB at 17%, 24 GB at 16%, 64 GB and 8 GB both at 10%, and 48 GB and 36 GB both at 6%.

How Errol Morris’s The Thin Blue Line Solved the Crime

Before making his revolutionary documentary film The Thin Blue Line, filmmaker Errol Morris worked as a private detective. His detective skills came in handy not only in making the film but in actually solving the crime at the heart of the story and freeing an innocent man from a prison life sentence.

The Thin Blue Line (1988) not only exposed a miscarriage of justice and freed an innocent man from prison, but created a new genre of movies and forever changed the way Americans view their own justice system.

ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants’ Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker

A $10 million procurement reviewed by 404 Media indicates ICE is buying records related to immigrants’ tax identifiers. “It looks for all the world like Trump is trying to skirt the law and a court order to fuel his mass-deportation campaign,” Senator Ron Wyden said.

#221 – Rahul Bansal on Using AI Everywhere at rtCamp

In this episode of the WP Tavern Jukebox podcast, the conversation focused on agency growth, lessons from rtCamp’s journey, and the changing agency landscape due to AI. We discussed the importance of hiring complementary skill sets when starting an agency, and the necessity to niche down for success in 2026, rather than being a generalist WordPress agency. The discussion explored rtCamp’s bold commitment to integrating AI throughout their business operations to improve efficiency and reduce costs, and how this positions them for future growth while transforming traditional agency roles and services.

The hard part isn't building anymore

For most of my career, the constraint was building. You had an idea, and then you spent weeks or months making it real. The gap between the idea and the working thing was where almost all the effort went. That gap has mostly closed. With AI, I can build a prototype of almost...

Underdubbed

When my brother Pete and I were kids, and our parents were out of town, we ditched school for a week and cut an “album” by recording backing tracks to my dad’s reel-to-reel, then live overdubbing on different instruments and capturing the whole mess on a cassette recorder. We didn’t know what we were doing, […]
