2·5 days agoTop of the page and bottom of the page. The site itself is a 3rd party site that manages convention programing. A few months ago, both the main BSE site and the programming site wiped the previous event off their sites to get ready for the next one(and no other possible reasons, right?), so I have to use Archive.org now. This is the same event that Kristi Noem was a keynote speaker at last April.
Here’s a login bypassed article talking about Matthews Environmental Solutions. https://archive.is/xDuxX
Here’s a reddit post that also mentions it. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1k5pmgt/border_security_expo_shows_off_illegal_immigrant/
People need to be paying very close attention to what this company is doing. There were also numerous construction companies showing off their ability to construct concentration camps. Of course, they were AI generated.

I don’t think he had a plan in the beginning. These people aren’t pioneers. They got lucky once, get labeled as a trend setter and then you have to try and maintain that image. VR was going the next big thing, so Zuck bought a company without a plan. Tech companies do that all the time. They see themselves falling behind on something and just buy some random company to appease the shareholders/press.
The VR office thing was just the limits of Zuck own creativity and saw covid as an opportunity to keep their product relevant.
Yes and?
Facebook was marketing their virtual office space stuff during covid. In the infinite wisdom of Zuck, that’s the best use of the tech today.
Zuck wasn’t marketing VR to the average consumer or even the tech enthusiast. He was marketing it to middle managers who wanted to regain control of their WFH peons. During covid, those types lost a lot of control while the workers continued without much change. Now that back to the office is being forced, the target demographic isn’t interested.
John Carmack had some choice words when he left Meta.
"We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugar coat this; I think our organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy.
“It has been a struggle for me. I have a voice at the highest levels here, so it feels like I should be able to move things, but I’m evidently not persuasive enough. A good fraction of the things I complain about eventually turn my way after a year or two passes and evidence piles up, but I have never been able to kill stupid things before they cause damage, or set a direction and have a team actually stick to it. I think my influence at the margins has been positive, but it has never been a prime mover.”
Imagine getting John Carmack on your project and ignoring him. Like, what was the point? Zuck got lucky in the beginning and was cut throat enough to hold on to it, but he has no entrepreneurial talent.
Oh no, they told a Friend Group B joke around Friend Group A.
A lot of modern problems can actually be blamed on Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays.
an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as “the father of public relations”. While credited with advancing the profession of public relations, his techniques have been criticized for manipulating public opinion, often in ways that undermined individual autonomy and democratic values.
They should just become a contributor to Heroic.
oh no. So anyway

A BB or small piece of gravel screwed under the cap will slowly drain the air without having to need to carry a tool or knife you might get in trouble for. A nail placed under a parked tire is such a way to puncture only when they pull away will have a similar effect.

I’m surprised people here aren’t mad that Hayao Miyazaki rarely visited the US since Bush II.
