This is hilarious: a website that reads tech giants’ terms of service to soothe you to sleep

Legal Lullabies

Soothing white noice made with Instagram's and TikTok's terms of services.

Found something remarkable (and also quite sad).

In 1997, Wired published "The Long Boom", a hyper-optimistic article about how we'd achieve Utopia by 2020.

The authors included notes on some "scenario spoilers"—negative events that might send is in a worse direction.

...and those spoilers turned out to be almost spookily accurate.

My favorite part of working at a big company, is that eventually you hire enough people who have no idea how to actually make product, but know how to write docs, so eventually success is just measured by how many useless docs you write and processes you invent. If you manage to carve out a corner of the org for yourself that that doesn’t work like this, people wonder why you’re so effective; because they don’t understanding having an instinctual ability to just ship good things.

Incredible. A female falcon was equipped with a satellite tracking system in South Africa before migrating to Finland. Image shows tracker data. In just 42 days she flew over 10.000km at an incredible average of 230 km per day and almost in a straight line.

Warum haben die kältesten Länder eigentlich die meisten Wärmepumpen und warum erzählen uns die Heizungsheinis hierzulande, dass Wärmepumpen in D nicht gehen und wir uns damit der *rsch abfrieren müssen?
