Was this their crowdfunding round?

Someone shared her presentation, too if you haven’t seen it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZeH...

Such a cool story!

I spent the last week or so reading the broken earth trilogy instead of doomscrolling.

10/10 would recommend avoiding doomscrolling

They said “a” team of phd level experts, not “which” team of phd level experts…

*intelligence (of the programmer to add an if/then)

Congrats!

Gonna have to change his name to Big balled

I get The Producers vibes from stuff like this.

Promote a terrible idea, funnel the money into friends pockets and then later just shrug and say “yeah it was a terrible idea” but the money is already gone

I’ve started reading more paper books lately. Gotta find a balance and stop staying up way too late though lol

Yeah definitely agreed that games are horrible. Some of them are more ads than gameplay even. Travesty

Jobs was pretty good about prioritizing fixes to broken things or killing them off.

Yeah I remember everything was web based originally. But I didn’t know if that was preference or that they missed the deadline for native apps

Wow. Just wow.

Wait, people are saying jobs did nothing?

The thing about PBS is that LeVar Burton was to me what MrBeast is to kids today.

I wonder how that holds up. Haven’t seen it in 20+ years

I’ve seen far fewer go down this path than you have, but it’s definitely painful to watch

You sometimes don’t test positive for a day or two. I would probably treat it as likely and get extra rest, etc

As a kid I thought it was unbelievable that we could have had dark ages. How could people not want to preserve knowledge.

Well life has disabused me of such naivety…

While they’re fighting, we can all go get real work done

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

The only thing approaching speed in self checkout is using the hand scanner so you don’t have to use the scale+bagging area

This is also one of the most fun parts of the job!

A lot of modern discussion happens in private chat communities instead of on the public web, as well. Which I think is much worse than what we had before. We traded immediacy for durability, searchability, interconnectedness, etc

My sister recently told me about a colleague who dislikes salad but forces herself to eat some regularly. She basically crams as many greens in her mouth in two or three minutes as she can and forces them down.

She calls it Dinosaur Time.

Among other things…

Are you talking about the last baconbiz? I believe it was in 2016, just before my oldest was born
