I love it when posts line up like this

It fun once or twice but still Monopoly, Hasbro couldn't commit to the bit so ithe rules are barely altered. If you're expecting a player is the Asset Manager, who slowly buys all the property and jacks up rent of the whole board, you're going to be disappointed.

I think the funniest thing anyone could do right now would be for HBO Max to delist the episode of Big Bang Theory he is in, because over two dozen posts he would

  1. Claim he hates streaming
  2. Complain that this is censorship and platforms shouldn't be allowed to remove or restrict content
  3. Talk about the viewing figures and repost the promotion of the currently airing second spin off and the upcoming third spin off
  4. Nonchalantly state that no one likes or cares about The Big Bang Theory anymore or ever did
  5. @jim parsons for help
  6. Someone would mention that an episode revolves around his plans to get someone to Mars by 2020
  7. Delete all these tweets

Oh man, that's the second time America lost to Vietnam

The one thing that always amazes me about white surpremecists, Republicans and idiots is the belief that the group they hate is in no way contributing to the economy. Maybe they believe there is a secret group of "good whites" that only they know about (Aha, the true illegals!), who will perfectly slot in and provide not only their economic output, but increase it.

It's an extreme version of the sunk cost fallacy. His believers are the type of people who think that changing your mind is a sign of weakness. For America to pass this period, a lot of these people will expect a Pact of Forgetting type situation so they don't have to answer for what they were encouraging.

I have a LinkedIn alert for CTO jobs and for weeks they've been nothing but "founders" wanting someone to build a "next gen crypto trading platform" for no pay

After watching some of the footage on Saturday, it's annoying to think "these are the people who will need to pull off a coup?"

I find it really frustrating that supporters of Open Protocols appear to live in cognitive dissonance of both wanting to be "used by everyone" and "to be a small gated community".

You can't keep money out forever and with that does come influence which I know. But eventually wouldn't you like to talk to your mother on a protocol you trust, with a client she understands?

Three million malware-infected smart toothbrushes used in Swiss DDoS attacks — botnet causes millions of euros in damages

I meet my 10-year-old self in 1987. I tell him I live in the future of 2024.

"2024! Wow! Do you have flying cars?"

"No."

"Oh. Well do you have Mars colonies?"

"No."

"Huh. Well you've gotta have a cure for every disease!"

"No."

"What do you have?!"

"We have a toothbrush that bad people can control remotely."

"...do I have to grow up?"

"Yes."

 

I can't believe how many virtual meetings in the last three years that people are still sharing their screens.

People seem to share their screens in 3 situations:

  1. Showing or explaining a document. Whether it be a slideshow or written document, people seem obsessed with idea that no one else knows how to read or that they write just as incompetently as they present.
  2. Explaining procedure. I get it, things can be complicated. Learn to screen record.
  3. Collaboration. Most conferencing apps have a whiteboard or other document creation apps have real time collaboration. You just don't want to use these things because you want to be in 100% control of what's being written down. You don't want a meeting, go do your own things, if you feel obligated to turn it into a meeting you just want attention.

We all have a limited time on this earth. We're not going to remember or care about the meetings in a year or two. Go find something meaningful to do with your life. Stop sharing your screen, and even better yet, don't have the meeting at all. We're not going to look back at the end of our lives and wish we'd had more meetings.

 

"Xbox Live and the ability to download new content is not a crutch to ship crappy software. And too often on the PC--I'm going to be blunt here--in the PC gaming space, games get out that developers know have problems because they know they can patch them later. They know they can force updates. And the act of playing [games online] becomes a pain in the ass, because you put the disc in and then you gotta download the patch and you gotta download the service pack and you gotta download the security hot fix, and then you gotta apply those things and reboot your machine. That's not an entertainment experience. That is not fun." -- Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager - Xbox, 2010-10-06
