- They are on the way of ending commingling, thankfully.

- On page 12 there's an ad for the cleanroom, and one of the selling points is that it would allow cigarette smoking!
- I'd like to think that some day in the near to mid future microwaving grapes or other spheres will be a way to start a fusion reactor or similar.
- They already did : https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/instagram-finally-gave-us-an-...
- I miss the insider information. Some Redditors were not nice and they all left Reddit and their insider information stopped flowing, it's a shame, it was cool to see behind the development veil.
- One of my tech clients emailed me about a Roku problem and one of the AI suggestions in Gmail was to tell the customer to try unplugging a Roku for a minute and plugging it back in. I pressed that button, proofread the suggested text, and hit send.
In truth it felt both amazing and made me uneasy, for AI was encroaching on my career of telling people to reboot their errant device.
- Not all MVNO are the same in this regard, some sell the same quality of service data tier.
- I support a couple of retired people on the side, and they are totally addicted to the lowest quality slop on Facebook/Instagram imaginable.
It's so bad that they'll click on a link to see the latest slop, and ostensibly get one of those webpages that says they have 47 viruses and call the number. I politely told them that they shouldn't click on those links anymore.
To which they said, well, if I shut my phone off when that happens, can I keep on doing it?
It's like that Star Trek the Next Generation episode where they all get addicted to that game. It's creepy and sad.
- When Windows 8 and the start page came out, I convinced a lot of my end users (most of my 75 end users did over time) to switch as they'd have to learn something new anyway.
Now with Windows 10 going away, they are picking up the stragglers.
Made my life easier.
- Frederick Taylor approves!

"For many years, all flights featured 2-by-2 leather seating (in aircraft usually fitted with 3-2 seating), ample legroom, complimentary gourmet meals, and warm chocolate chip cookies. This made the airline popular with business travelers. In addition, Midwest Express operated a sizable executive charter operation with a specially configured DC-9."
- "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." - John A. Shedd
- "AirBnB’s present dominance isn’t the product of real innovation. He and his friends stumbled upon an idea after listing their apartment on Craigslist for under-the-table sublease during a popular conference."
Does the author wish he thought of it first?
- There's a lot of use cases for that definitely! Alarm monitoring, text messaging, some users are reporting YouTube works at 360p.
One problem though is that in the terms they say that if you're using a lot of data or using that plan for more than 12 months they may require you to switch to a different plan or lose access.
- Apple should acquire Perplexity - it's a pretty great product and combined with some privacy enhancements it's a win, and they could likely integrate it better than Google could with Gemini.
- https://maticrobots.com/ - Lidar seems like a stopgap, check out this robot vacuum which works with vision only. I am not conflating a car and a vacuum, but it's an interesting technological exposition.
- Seems very Star Trek Enterprise when they polarize the hull plating.
"To prevent this from happening, once a sperm cell has made contact with it, the egg quickly employs two mechanisms. First, its plasma membrane rapidly depolarises – meaning it creates an electrical barrier that further sperm cannot cross."
