That doesn't make sense. Huggingface is a 'popular' tech company. Maybe those 'nerds' just didn't have tickets

For the San Francisco venues, some of my favorite artists come on random days, and as a 40-something with a kid I would only go out on nights other than Friday/Saturday if I REALLY liked the artist. From this perspective, it might make sense to weight weekday outliers higher

IDK, if you look at what Microsoft has accomplished under the leadership of Satya over the last 9 years it's obviously possible to innovate and bean count at the same time

Learn GPT is brilliant. Thank you for this.
From the opposite side I've regularly presented in board meetings at 3 small to medium sized startups and this has not been my experience as well. One CEO was even removed at one of them.

Re:Why Is That Funny? on Saturday October 22, 2022 @05:31PM (#33302418)
I think being able to make people laugh in as few words as possible is a skill, and one that's very difficult to master. It's like poetry, constraints require creativity. Creepy wet uncle, to me at least, isn't very funny, but it was likely funny at the time because of the context. Unexpected things can be funny, and it's a common way to form a joke, but coming up with novel ideas that lots of people find funny isn't an easy thing to do for most people. If it was, we probably wouldn't find it that funny.

FWIW, I think this is what has made Twitter so popular. The original 140 character limit with out the ability to do tweet threads in the form we have now put a lot of constraints on people. Being thoughtful or funny in 140 characters is difficult, but a lot of folks came up with some pretty amazing insights and quips.

I’m a parent of a child at the Oakland school. I believe the DC school is unaffiliated. I’ve heard it’s common for parents to take their kids out because they decide being taught in multiple languages where the main language is their child’s second language isn’t working for their child.
