Did your mom teach you? Because she’s really talented.

See Microsoft and Adobe.

Except Microsoft and Adobe never bankrupted a company by getting adopted. It was a tax that companies could afford since they were still rounding errors compared to labor.

If the adoption of a tech can be measured as being roughly equal to higher than the labor expense of a company, that decision isn’t going to be dictated by what Susan in HR knows.

How is he doing that with his mouth?

I’ve listened to Sarah Taber talk about running for a North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture and said she was able to get more Republican votes from rural areas than the suburbs.

I feel like the big experiment in this election is Platner in Maine. If Platner can win in Maine, it shows that progressive candidates can work in rural parts of the country.

It is interesting how Mamdani has much longer coattails than AOC and that he is participating in primaries almost immediately.

It is a great strategy and I hope it pays off, but it feels like Mamdani is moving the needle a lot more.

They are probably only sending the bare minimum to make Trump happy. They don’t want to sell American made cars and trucks in Japan, so they are doing it badly.

I’m not surprised. Even if Platner is a risk and ends up like Fetterman, he isn’t going to be worse than Collins.

She still has a political following. It also shows the breaking of Republican solidarity on the right.

Vance is a threat to Trump by being a possible replacement. So Trump is going to make sure that Vance doesn’t become popular.

Not to sound insensitive, but if she was actively choosing to not go through chemo, what are the other options? It seems like the only options as you presented them were to go through chemo a second time, take this medication that may it may not work, or get her affairs in order and enjoy the last days of her life.

I’ve seen other cancer treatments that aren’t chemo make it clear that the treatment isn’t chemo to accelerate adoption.

Unless it kills all their offspring, it isn’t natural selection.

Because black people are more likely to toke and this is a great way to deny black people the right to own guns.

This was standard operating procedure for Silicon Valley companies before COVID.

Nope. The ranking has nothing to do with undergraduate education. The closet thing they have is the test scores for the accepting class and admission rate.

And they picked the species with the best throwing ability.

Patrick H Wiilems had an interesting video essay recently about the death of music videos, since there was a major pipeline from being a music video director to being a movie director.

This may be the first year where Hollywood starts treating YouTube video makers as a substitute pipeline for finding new talent.

Reading the article, it appears that Zuckerberg is trying to get his staff back operating like they are a startup with events like a hackathon. That his staff are no longer participating is indicating that they aren’t treating Meta like a startup any more.

It isn’t that Zuckerberg wants his staff to act like they are having fun, but to get back into a startup mentality where they will hopefully over perform and are instead treating it as a job where there isn’t an incentive to work harder.

Except that the crazy religious nutjobs mainly created their own state churches in the North. The real reason is that the USA was the first time in a long while where there wasn’t a state presence trying to control religion for various reasons. You’d get random preachers going around the newly settled parts trying to sell people on their form of Jesus and being able to change their Jesus to fit local tastes.

It turns out that making going to church entertaining and preaching that everyone in the room were good people helped get converts
