- Amen, brother.
- Fixed. Thanks!
- Thanks for the note. Did not know about SDR.
- A true friend stabs you in the chest. - Oscar Wilde
- The SF Bay Area
- It's a coded way to say they don't have children.
- This is one of my favorite HN comments. Thank you for writing about music in an interesting way.
- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Every song on Feeling Strangely Fine is terrific. The other albums have great songs but uninteresting ones too.
- Fun book. I’ve said this before on here but it purports to lionize the Sega of America folks but can’t help but present them as non-technical marketers without much depth to them. Meanwhile the Nintendo crew, ostensibly the bad guys in the story’s narrative, seem passionate, principled and serious about shipping great games people love.
- Advertisers of note strongly prefer to put their ads next to the second type of content, not the first.
- Can you share links to some others of these?
- And perhaps unintentionally the Nintendo folks come out looking cool, authentic and passionate about making great games while the Sega folks seem like a bunch of cargo cult marketers who happen to be trying to sell games.
- “To be fair, all of his SPACS are up since IPO”
- Many of the brightest on the East Coast get sucked into finance.
- Intercom
- There’s a million tools like this out there but brokers just want to get deals closed so they fall back to whatever is preferred by the borrower which is always email.
- Appliance companies explicitly do this for this exact reason too.
- I think we’ve seen that UGC is and always has been a bit of a myth. Social media companies have always quietly employed armies of people to moderate user posts, persuade famous people and Companies to post, to actually do the posting and “media strategy” for those VIPs and companies, and then of course to sell the ads and pro services that come with it all.
- Sounds like you started playing in the 90s! Wizards has sanitized Black a good deal since then to being less METAL and more META.
- Clubhouse
- Thank you for this. Powerful stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTgahyvBMk4
- Why else would you name it Vision Fund if not to compensate for the obvious lack thereof?
- ...or we might find that it's not that big a deal to miss a few weeks of work or school so long as everyone knows why and understands it's for the greater good.
- I can’t speak to finance but I get confused when people bash advertising in broad strokes. People running businesses need ways to exchange money for new customers. That’s advertising. Making that more efficient might surely be annoying but a complete waste of time?
- These are gorgeous and still feel very fresh and vibrant. Thank you for sharing.
- I don't think anything is preventing you or anyone else from plunking down $100 and testing Got-Its out for consumer use. I just wouldn't expect it to be greatly supported in the near term.
- Just ordered a set. I've been hearing about this from Brian for years now and am so excited it's finally live and available for purchase. About to tell all my midwest manufacturing friends...
The film’s politics are very progressive/liberal so I can imagine that deterring some viewers but PTA adds a lot of nuance and subversion throughout that make it more of an examination of radicalism than a straight trumpeting of it. As mentioned in another comment the radical characters often disagree and are shown taking very different strategies that then produce very different outcomes.
