- dvaunThis reads like notes taken on a presentation.
- Will we get a post mortem?
- What a ridiculous statement. We have a massive number of people in the USA relying on financial support for purchasing food. Not every single American is fat, especially those who literally can’t afford to eat.
- Steroid abuse indicates body dysmorphia. There isn’t an addictive property like other abused drugs, unless you’re considering it addictive via its effects on dopamine production.
Your body doesn’t become addicted, though. The potential for harm is real if you are not taking it under medical supervision or without proper knowledge of usage, like any other drugs.
- All we are is dust in the wind.
- A charitable view is that they intended "ideas that I had germinating for decades" to be from their own perspective, and not necessarily spurred inside Google by their initiative. I think that what they stated prior to this conflated the two, so it may come across as bragging. I don't think they were trying to brag.

For anyone reading: Donar is "Old High German" for Thor.

See https://www.streetepistemology.com/ for content about this. It is possible to guide discussions in a healthy manner and with positive goals in mind.
- Can you expand on this?
- Sounds like a license to train on your data.
- Ditto. This isn’t exclusive to programming. Everyone that I know who has worked in any office environment has downtime.
- You’re calling someone “brain broken” for writing a comment in a cute manner to make it sound like product development. It’s time to take a step back and relax.
- Might as well throw together HackerTok.
- I especially enjoy how the author from the substack series described the singularity as “The Rapture of the Nerds”.
- I keep seeing similar aesthetics for landing pages and startup sites. Is there some common template that’s become popular for this purpose?
