@DaniNMills @agraybee Don’t know about “better”, but it’s definitely been tried!

@SnazzyLabs Love this style and format of vid - fun to follow along! Curious: do you have DIY/construction background in your blood? (Dad, family, etc?) self taught? You’re killing it!

Hey it's me Destin, from Smarter Every Day. Now that it's time to elect America's next leader, I would like to share something very interesting and important with you. I've been paying attention to this for a while, and I think if you look for it, you see it too.

Hard RT, pretty sure I’ve said this out loud before.

90% of bbq restaurants need to work on they Mac & cheese or take it off the menu lol

Some have asked for pics of the Revolutionary War fort we discovered inside an old plantation house in West Virginia. Almost none of the original Rev War frontier log forts survive. Historians believed an old log fort know as Byrnside’s Fort was still there, inside the walls of this large house. But…

We had to buy the property first before being able to take a crowbar to it to see if the logs were inside the walls. I was 90% sure they were there…

@micahsb @Jason From the article: “San Francisco foot traffic totaled 5.6 million visits between January and December 2022, compared to 2019’s 9.7 million visits, a more than 42% drop. Foot traffic across other Westfield-owned U.S. malls was down only 2%.”

@thomasjeans @FoxyFoxalot @markgurman This definitely wasn’t “missed”. Seems pretty clear this was an intentional decision to minimize leaks of the real name. Same reason the session presenters all say “this device” or “the device” and not the actual final name.

@Vyxoss @AltRealityXYZ @Ethan_smith_20 There are no frames from Vampire D in their film. Think you’re misunderstanding how AI training works? They showed some of it to the AI to “teach” it a certain style, but didn’t directly incorporate it.

“Relying on chickens to produce vaccines against a virus that has a 90 percent to 100 percent fatality rate among poultry has the makings of the most unfunny which-came-first, the-chicken-or-the-egg riddle.” https://t.co/8C5CKL5AdT

Idea: A big red button on every social media platform that simply says:

Great visualization of something that I think about a lot. Ton to unpack here.

@WeCanHave @GergelyOrosz Look up “at-will employment”. Quite a different system in the US vs Europe.

@jdiazbusiness @alexiskold What’s the tech here? Something unique in the fingerprinting?

[Shaun Lichti @shaunlichti]

@omengue @JohnTimaeus @aussymac @CocoaEyebrows @wbm312 @Patreon @ellispaulsongs Nope -- Transcend integrates with systems via a secure gateway. All of our requests are basically proxied and we don't have direct access, API keys, or credentials for customer systems. You can read more about our approach to security here: https://t.co/Q9MCDhBZQs

@bentonton @SnazzyQ It’s more the other way around. OLEDs are pretty sensitive to high heat and have to brightness limit to protect themselves if things heat up too much.

@niallbenn @mgsiegler Think this is their official guide: https://t.co/jP2RBeMkWl

Great read for those who saw the viral thread about McDonald’s burger margins, knew there was a lot more to the story, but didn’t have time to dig!

[Brendan Hodge @Brendan_m_Hodge]

I was the corporate pricing manager for Wendy's from 2010-2012, so as a professional pricer seeing this thread go viral, I can't help providing some corrections.

The most basic thing to understand about fast food pricing is that a successful store needs to run at ~30% food cost

Lots of buzz around IAPP's #GPS22 summit this morning (we see you, @tim_cook 👀), so adding our own ***IAPP MEGA THREAD!*** 🧵🧵🧵

Yesterday I rented a boat and took the leader of one of Flexport's partners in Long Beach on a 3 hour of the port complex. Here's a thread about what I learned.
