tobiaswright··on Plain emails not only save time but work better (2016)
Generally I buy the argument, but I don't think the fact that it's easier to act when viewing from mobile was given enough weight. I think that probably made a huge difference. I'd love to see those stats.
tobiaswright··on Not a single mention of Panama leaks on front page of NYTimes?
Not too surprised, generally, by time things hit the New York Times, it's old news. They'll be all over this by this afternoon and tomorrow.

tobiaswright··on Show HN: REREAD.io – Rediscover those saved and forgotten Pocket bookmarks
Nice. I did something similar a while ago with some different services. It's been a while since I touched it, so it may be broken.

tobiaswright··on Sandra Bland arrest video has continuity problems, anomalies
Yes. I never really ever know if it's because I'm black or not, because I have always been stopped for cause. And being the empathic sort, I'm always cool, because truthfully a cop doesn't know what they are getting into - and I'm usually pretty confident I do know the situation I've gotten into, a person just trying to do their job, which in this instance is being an officer. I'm going to make your job easy.

I'm not so sure that's the case though these days. Everyone has a bad mood, a bad day or a sucky life, the only difference is some have a gun and the ability to lawfully leave me to bleed out on the side of the road. Is this the person I going to meet when I get pull over next time?

Are you looking for other Black Programers? Check out the Black Techies Meetup group (as oppose to Blacks in Tech, which is a bit different). Also head out to some hackathons. There are usually a few to chill with.
