Any and all payments made to SXSW are not refundable for any reason, including, without limitation, failure to use Credentials due to illness, acts of God, travel-related problems, acts of terrorism, loss of employment and/or duplicate purchases.

I wonder if they change their tune if enough people say they are coming from effected areas / experience symptoms.

Of they don't have to memorize random spellings it could free up mental resources for other things.

Regardless, why be stuck in the past with things like handwriting or spelling or cursive?

So what your saying is the movie "Idiocracy" already happened??

(Plot- the smartest people stop reproducing, only lower rings of society have kids. An average guy wakes up hundreds of years in the future and is a genius)

Amen to that. My company does very large cyber security contracts for DoD and has a god awful home page. It's almost like a badge of honor to someone how bad it is.

Lol let's do a startup

"PERSPECTIVE. The wealthiest person I have spent time with makes about $400mm/year. i couldn't get my mind around that until I did this: OK--let's compare it with someone who makes $40,000/year. It is 10,000x more. Now let's look at prices the way he might. A new Lambo--$235,000 becaome $23.50. First class ticket internationally? $10,000 becomes $1. A full time executive level helper? $8,000/month becomes $0.80/month. A $10mm piece of art you love? $1000. Expensive, so you have to plan a bit. A suite at the best hotel in NYC $10,000/night is $1/night. A $50million home in the Hamptons? $5,000. There is literally nothing you can't buy except."

Reminds me of the book "private empire" about ExxonMobil.

"Private Empire pulls back the curtain, tracking the corporation’s recent history and its central role on the world stage. The action spans the globe, moving from Moscow, to impoverished African capitals, Indonesia, and elsewhere in heart-stopping scenes that feature kidnapping cases, civil wars, and high-stakes struggles at the Kremlin."

Big cooperations could easily find a way to run a "blackops" negative PR campaign, on top of pulling strings in the SEC

Yayy. Elon fan boys unite!

> Obviously, screening for specific personality traits has not kept Bridgewater or Stripe from succeeding. Uber, however, might be a different story. I am going to argue that personality trait screening may have harmed Uber.

I agree there has been turmoil that has been detrimental to uber. But maybe the fact they specifically looked for hard core, "won't take no for an answer" is the reason they reached massive market / valuation they did. Lyft choose the "friendly" route and didn't get anything close to Uber size/valuation.

I'm not saying this is the best strategy/ always works, but you are saying you consider stripe successful basically because they have not had turmoil/bad press, despite the fact they are a fraction of the value of Uber.

Tldr: you probably NEED aggressive, won't take no, type of ppl to grow to a Uber size as quickly as they did.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just got it on Audible and I'm looking forward to listening to it.

wow there was a beautiful video. I like at the beginning how he explains how difficult it was to actually create this experiment, so I could understand how important this actually was. Also that it hasn't been done in like 40 years or whatever.

It's kinda nice to see what new jobs your friends have.... But that requires you to have friends.... Sooo I guess I have no reason to go.

Wow. Can confirm worked for me. Seems like the version low connectivity countries would get

Reddit world news has a bot that does like a 5-7 sentence summary of articles. Would be cool if you could run that on the articles and read it. Nice to hear a human voice.
