I'm sure he read "How to Maximize* Achieving and Synergy of Disruption" or something like that

  • using the wrong spelling of maximise derogatorily

The dildo of consequences rarely comes lubricated

Okay, Nigerian Twitter is something else and I am so sad I'm learning about it only after Twitter died.

That would still require cops to find them first, which is never going to happen.

Like the only way it could would be if we abolished police entirely and then created a special Bike Thief Police that handled nothing else than bike stealing. And they only get paid per recovered bike.

I mean, what the hell else are you going to do if your bike was stolen? Instead of doing nothing about it you can go to the police so they can do nothing about it.

Who the hell is Ezra Klein? Some Joe Rogan type of guy with a lot of bad ideas on a podcast?

Is that in any way legal?

FAANG came about because of “unexpected growth” in how those could “surprisingly” capture money

I don't know the origin, but I came to know the term itself from my time as a freshman Computer Science student, where "working at FAANG" was to be the highest career thing you could aspire to.

It was always extremely confusing, cause like, Amazon, Apple, Google - I get those, they actually have things they work on, I'm sure working on AWS or like the internals of Google Search has to be interesting for a CS person, but fucking Facebook? The fuck does Facebook do? What unsolved technical challenges lie in a message board? Same goes for Netflix.

Mosaic creator Marc Andreessen

Best thing about it is that a normie read of this would be to think Assdreessen is just a weird guy who's really into mosaics.

as of all the various media providers like Netflix, netflix is often not considered that highly from what I can tell.

Well, it should not be considered that highly, but for some god damn reason they occupy a letter in FAANG since forever.

Probably only because if you remove the N the acronym stops being that cute.

the number of units still in customer hands had fallen closer to 7,000

That's still better than the REVOLUTIONARY Cybertruck, they're gonna be fine
