@SarahTheHaider I still think it's just attention-seeking taken ad absurdum. All that's needed to make her go away is just to resist the urge to share everything she says.
@Kasparov63 I continue to be baffled by how exactly Lex is able to get these kinds of guests. He's got the personality of a bag of gravel, and his questions may as well be generated by a chatbot.
Now I'm playing with some ultra-cheap ESP32 dev boards. This one, the size of a postage stamp, and under $2, can do WiFi, bluetooth, I2C, SPI, all with MicroPython.
@SarahTheHaider Yeah, charging for no-shows is something they should do, but don't, probably for fear of negative reviews.
My only other idea is an app that shows real-time wait times before you arrive; but that could be a double-edged sword and cause people to arrive even later.
@SarahTheHaider My wife is a physician, and at her office, double-booking is very much the norm, because of how often people simply fail to show up without notice. So, on a rare day when everyone who's scheduled actually shows up, that's when wait-times start to add up.
@SarahTheHaider Many of my friends are perplexed that I'm a Russian person who doesn't like chess. I guess the idea is that it's supposed to train you to "think x moves ahead", and somehow that will translate to other areas of life... but surely there are less boring ways of doing that.
@JenaFriedman Based on the other comments here, you can raise *unlimited* money using Crypto! I really think this platform is truly past any kind of usefulness, and should be Old Yellered.
@Hebro_Steele She is a bottom-tier "intellectual" whose only MO seems to be self-promotion. Everyone engaging with her nonsense is exactly what she wants. We just have to stop engaging.
@StopAntisemites A fine message for aspiring terrorist groups: brand yourself as a liberation movement, and win the support of braindead American college kids who were taught only those keywords.
