How does this help usability?

What problem does this solve?

Is anyone empowered at Apple to ask these questions?

@aaronpk Hey, Aaron: Which HDMI splitter would you recommend? Just got one, but it doesn’t work. Thanks.

What are ya watching?

I offer thoughts and prayers tonight, but my thoughts are for the safety of the world, and my prayers are to the one named Nemesis, she who is the implacable enemy of hubris, balancer of the scales of life and fortune. May justice be served.

I guess my problem with it is there is no way you can know more than the execs at those companies, and if you did, that would be insider trading. The fact that insider trading is a term means you have to be operating on speculation by definition.

I've never suggested otherwise.
But I think the gambling analogy, while popular is overplayed. The simple fact is that if you have an understanding of what you're looking at you can make educated assumptions. That's not the same as relying on luck.

Like I said its not my advice and I'm not the one that has to live with it.

I'd probably wait on giving financial advice until we see how the markets react to the President of the United States contracting a devastating virus.

When I was five years old, a kid at school said he could draw anything. “Show me,” I said. Suddenly, he scribbled all over the page; just loops on top of loops. “Look,” he said, “it’s the 37 rooms of the Millennium Falcon.” Every child around us nodded in awe. I still admire him

Aaaand now I'm pushing it out two more hours. Sorry. See next posts.

Here you go guys. I'm making the thumbnails of my live streams represent what lighting I used, so you can just click in to learn about what was used and how it was done. I usually go over it in the first 5 minutes.

To IBC? or just a personal trip?

sounds like the Netherlands would be a great country for you 😜 my bike is my main means of transportation

I do, there's stores everywhere. There's always a store open at 3am if you need something. 😂 I have everything I need in walking distance, it's gonna be tough to give that up.

PSA: On September 30th between 0700-1000 UTC (12am-3am PDT) and 1600-1900 UTC (9am-12pm PDT) we will be restricting username/password authentication against the GitHub API to test readiness ahead of the Nov 13 deprecation.

So glad I did not have to caption that shitshow.

They need to have the debates in sound-proof rooms so that they can't talk over each other. Either that or turn off the mic of the person who is NOT supposed to be speaking so that the American people can hear the person who IS supposed to be talking.

what should I watch to clean my brain after this
