This whole ordeal is an absolute disgrace.

I work IT, fully remote since March 2020. At first, I was actually against the idea as I had never worked from home full-time before.
Went back to the office for the first time last month to meet a new exec. I could not believe how much more distracted I felt back in the office, and that experience is what 100% sold me on remote work. It is quite easy to forget just how much recreational conversation happens in an open office setting, and I find it hard to believe that people at large would naturally be more productive in that kind of environment.

I have mentioned this before here - instagram ads are a bit too creepy. I have had multiple personal ads that were eerily accurate and I hadn’t even discussed these things over any written form. I’m not paranoid to think they are listening to the microphone but the coincidence is super uncanny. It crossed the line for me twice in the past few months alone.
They are all over the place for me. I also get a ton of strange ones that are made to look like regular people just taking pictures of themselves, I guess aspiring models? I don't even engage with IG models...I swear.
Drama is in the NFL's DNA. It just wasn't the type of "drama" that the owners wanted to be bothered with.
And you forgot to add the poignant response that Colin had to those dumb socks.

I am seriously starting to suspect an astroturfing campaign against Facebook. I'm not saying they do nothing wrong. But the recent laser focus has been incredible.
They have made it all too easy.

I’m disappointed by the discontinuation of the iPhone SE, and I’m not the only one.
Frankly, all of Apple’s recently-introduces hardware options have a bad combination of being too expensive and simply not appealing enough, the lack of upgradeability on MacBook Pros being a major example.
Personally, I think they've become too big, too heavy and too expensive.
The XR is honestly a huge misstep, IMO. It's bigger, heavier and dramatically more feature-less than its 2018 counterparts. Who is this phone for?
Dan Lyons, author of "Disrupted," is also on the writing staff for the show. Not quite Silicon Valley but if you read the book, some of the stuff from his time at Hubspot makes it into the show.
Judge surrounded himself with a lot of different perspectives on all of this.

Hi, even if a data breach hadn't happened, did you have any concerns about people within the company having access to those photos? I also use myfitnesspal and strava but I have a strong aversion to sharing that kind of info with anyone, period.
I'm 36, is this a generational thing?
Did you used to care that some dude at CVS would have possession of your photographs for hours at a time when you went to get them developed?
