Just another software engineer living the dream in Southern California, with my wife and two lazy Lhasa Apso puppers.
This post makes Tim Sweeney seem like a total rube. What kind of company sells goods and gives them to elites for free? Luxury goods companies. You think influencers pay for that stuff?
Influencers get their followers interested in buying those goods, which drives people to the stores. Is the bird site so different? What were the formerly verified folks if not influencers that drove people to the site to read their updates.
Jay RosenRecall it? An investigative reporter in Vegas, Jeff German, was stabbed. A bureaucrat was charged with his murder. German was working on a story about the bureaucrat. Thing is, was working on other stories too.
To continue German’s work, and as an act of solidarity, "The Washington Post teamed up with his newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, to complete one of the stories he’d planned to pursue."
He had heard about a Ponzi scheme. Now it's published.

Stuart CelarierA linguistics professor was lecturing on the role of the double negative, noting that in some languages like Russian a double negative remains negative, while in other languages like French a double negative becomes positive. However, the professor observed, in no language in the world does a double positive become negative. From the back of the classroom a student replied, "Yeah. Right."

massive layoffs just after forcing everyone to move back to where their assigned office is located is…a choice. telling people they are fired by email is…a choice. telling people they are fired via email while they’re in a whole other state for a client meeting is…a choice.
I actually really liked the premise of The Key Factor, combining Space Invaders with aspects of Missile Command, and helping you learn the keyboard (which was new to a lot of folks in 1985!)
I thought I'd share a couple of my early #retrogaming contributions from 1985 or so. I worked on both of these after high school, when I was renting a room in my friend Paul's house. Paul did most of the coding while I did the graphics.
I'm particularly happy with the sprite drop effect in The Key Factor which I lovingly borrowed from an Atari game called DropZone 😇

I made a graph of all my past relationships.
It has an ex axis and a why axis.
