Look if we're going to comit to the whole 'post national' project or whatever the animus behind the Century Initiative is. We need to BUILD things. We can't keep handicapping ourselves wrt to energy and housing.

This is why we need to livestream the process and turn it into content. Contractors show off how sick they are at laying bricks or hammering nails and turn that skill into a reel. Same idea.

I suppose this was inevitable in a database model of consumption. The more we consume (and we are impelled to consume more and more), the harder it is to recall meanings or nuances, so a base tagging system to improve recall is necessary.

There appears to be something seriously wrong with the people left on the edges of the empire. You don't see this kind of 'try-hard pedantry' from Americans, but you do see it in the English, Scottish, Canadians, and so on

Another aspect of this product I thought was really clever was the entire conceptual sphere around the marketing plan. 1.8 million on the domain name, form factor is a pendant that we've seen a half dozen times already and then such an incredible online response.

Hiroki Azuma discusses the database model of multiple visibles in media consumption regarding Japan's Otaku. It might be time that someone turns this lens on the American or western equivalent: YouTubers, Twitter Posters, and Influencers
One of the best parts of working with Hamel and Jason is that they don't waste time with roundabout explanations. It's always problem-solution in simple language. I love It.
This is a great example of how simple explanations are better than jargon
“Compilers, Teleprompters” are unnecessary cognitive load
Use a for loop. Only introduce complexity gradually when you need it (most people don’t)

I've been buying clothes like this (menswear equivalent) for a decade now. From when I had my first part-time job at a grocery store to now. I managed it on any and all budgets. I thrifted, I bought second hand(still do mostly) I figured out ways to afford it, to find deals etc
High level points

I don't know how using weird as a derogatory term fits with the millennial be-your-whole-self mentality. I grew up around the 'freaks and weirdos' in the music and art scenes, and weird was always synonymous with cool after a certain point.
@PYeerk
This of course is and was a pretty juvenile understanding of 'weird' as I would come to find out later in my adult life, but this particular political usage of the term is confusing for an ostensible left-wing party to use

I mean, that's kind of the point of the comparison, we didn't develop a good economy despite being fully in a position to do so.

I am in awe at how people are treating Nina. This all feels so childish, like her enemies were just laying in wait for the right excuse to say, "See! We were right about her!" instead of idk, just saying you don't like her and moving on. the faux moral stakes here are so stupid

Loss of belief that their work is worthwhile. It could be anything from senior management needing a clear direction, implementing regressive internal policies(forcing people back to office post-COVID was a big one here), or needing to be challenged more at work.

What on earth is wrong with England. No offense, Yeerk, but the place seems like a country of schoolmarms and masochists. I cannot imagine a place I am less likely to ever want to visit.
@MattKnightLewis
@PYeerk
exactly right? All of these cool up-and-coming cities love to attract the bohemians, the hipsters, the freaks, and the eccentrics; now, being weird is 'bad'? bizarre stuff
This is maybe the maddest thing I've ever had the privilege of working on. It features absolutely brilliant, cutting-edge insights from some of the most talented people I know.

There is a huge lesson in this: I spent way too much of my teens and early 20s stressing that my writing, ideas, and content weren't good enough, so I didn't practice as much as I could have and didn't publish as much as I SHOULD have.
After going viral on hacker news from my writing oos work.
I’ve learned that. Most content and code is shit. If you literally just put it out. It’ll make a difference.

Not to be a smart ass, but I think the last five years have shown(never mind, the last 25) that our rights are conditional and subject to the ever-looming 'state of exception'.

Absolutely incredible device. I imagine they made so much bank off it they're able to do expensive fidget spinners for yuppies forever now

Philosphy of science aside for a moment this entire debate seems entirely predicated on being extremely pendantic. Reminds me of the great "what makes a artwork good" tier forum debates of the 2010s

There was a reference to this in another form of media recently, something about Transformers being reduced to a 'movie about racist robots.' If this is how mainstream popular media is treated just imagine the pain in store for anything requiring a modicum of nuance lol

I recently bought my girlfriend two Charvet shirts. It is such a joy to see the level of detail that goes into those garments, from the weave of the fabric to the packaging you receive them in.
I wrote this piece with Jason; if you need help with technical writing or marketing, DM me!
It's about one of the worst things that could happen to anyone, nevermind an engineer.
Check it out through Jason's post, and watch for the rest of the story as we release it.
this was written by
@josephgleasure
based on voice memos and an interview w/ me.
He works with me as part of my consulting firm, if you or your team is looking for a technical writer for your marketing / blog / product launches shoot us a DM!

That mainstream media that has no hidden secret to reveal or message to deliver is being subjected to such extreme forms of truncation does not bode well for media that does require complex thinking to interpret
@internetvin
I think anti-density/anti-condo sentiment is a shortsighted way to view urban development; no one would seriously claim Hong Kong, Japan, etc lack culture or that the propensity of skyscrapers is harming the city. Instead, that they're the source of the city's charm

To be fair, Edinburgh was and is a pretty dreary place if you were working class. My aunts and uncles work for the NHS, and my cousins left the country(one to spain, one to England, one to Canada) not much there for them

No doubt you're much smarter than me, but It reads like someone terrified of the future and lays out an absolutely worst-case scenario that sounds more like a rambling delusion with some bizarre cold war 2.0 nonsense peppered in.
