Holy shit, this is LinkedIn matetial

I'm sure he read "How to Maximize* Achieving and Synergy of Disruption" or something like that

• using the wrong spelling of maximise derogatorily

The dildo of consequences rarely comes lubricated

Okay, Nigerian Twitter is something else and I am so sad I'm learning about it only after Twitter died.

That would still require cops to find them first, which is never going to happen.

Like the only way it could would be if we abolished police entirely and then created a special Bike Thief Police that handled nothing else than bike stealing. And they only get paid per recovered bike.

I mean, what the hell else are you going to do if your bike was stolen? Instead of doing nothing about it you can go to the police so they can do nothing about it.

Who the hell is Ezra Klein? Some Joe Rogan type of guy with a lot of bad ideas on a podcast?

Hatsune Miku but with my voice

Thanks, this will be my dreams now for the rest of the month

Is that in any way legal?

FAANG came about because of “unexpected growth” in how those could “surprisingly” capture money

I don't know the origin, but I came to know the term itself from my time as a freshman Computer Science student, where "working at FAANG" was to be the highest career thing you could aspire to.

It was always extremely confusing, cause like, Amazon, Apple, Google - I get those, they actually have things they work on, I'm sure working on AWS or like the internals of Google Search has to be interesting for a CS person, but fucking Facebook? The fuck does Facebook do? What unsolved technical challenges lie in a message board? Same goes for Netflix.

Mosaic creator Marc Andreessen

Best thing about it is that a normie read of this would be to think Assdreessen is just a weird guy who's really into mosaics.

as of all the various media providers like Netflix, netflix is often not considered that highly from what I can tell.

Well, it should not be considered that highly, but for some god damn reason they occupy a letter in FAANG since forever.

Probably only because if you remove the N the acronym stops being that cute.

the donkey is dead but we prop it up with dollar stacks

the number of units still in customer hands had fallen closer to 7,000

That's still better than the REVOLUTIONARY Cybertruck, they're gonna be fine

Completely agree, that's why I nit, since "CloudStrike" sounds like an actual name for an actual product and I will not have that stand!

I'd argue there is a decades old concerted effort to troll and make racist the entire world wide web, by very dedicated actors no less.

Minor, but it's CrowdStrike not cloudstrike

I have seen three separate instances of start-ups with "AI" in their name that proudly display a tagline along the lines of "BUILDING THE NEXT UNICORN" and jesus fuck almighty I swear I will fucking piledrive the next recruiter that tries that on me

For me it just doesn't work no matter what I do so ye.

All hail the front-end ecosystem under our Lord Emperor NodeJS.

A lot of what Biden did was based on the wide margins the executive had. But now with Chevron deference dead people can sue those efforts and will win via the 5th Circuit or SCOTUS, because they're institutions bought by people who most vehemently hate antitrust laws. Similar reasoning applies to right-to-repair efforts.

In other words, USA will never have nice things unless Harris pulls off a major court reform.

You’re just being asked to be thoughtful before opening your mouth. Is that so awful?

Mate you're basically denying the whole identity of a certain kind of poster, if opening their mouth required thoughtfullness they'd be forever silent and turn to dust
