This is an American interpretation. Here in the US, cones, lights, or lane-blockers are used to close exits.

Culturally, its because American's won't read a sign and follow the instructions if we can still "do" it. You have to physically block us, and its too expensive to change all the signs.

Yeah but the weekly WBR where the directors ask what a cell means on the DataNet report but the data isnt' sussed out so the L5 Data science guy that reports to the L7 PMT will spend the next week changing SQL to produce that requested view for the next week WBR.

Many L6 promos over the years went out to folks who could quickly and accurately build WBR decks that gave L8s the visibility they wanted.

So maybe Bezos is the lawyer, and all the directors are accountants.

Definitely lawyer and accountant.

PRFAQs, COEs, and WBRs.

Meta execs are probably wondering when the rest of the crowd just realizes what Facebook is and determines if they want to exchange their privacy for their services.

Who is even surprised at this point?

For now, but not for long.

Sadly, XRB (Raiblocks, formally) was designed that way. Instant, fee-less.

Problem was, there were races and some bugs, which caused a lot of reconciliation problems for exchanges that listed it.

It dropped after 2017, and AFAIK, is essentially a dead coin.

a lens translates things to a different view. so they either justified it somehow, or it changed the outcome. not a hair I'd want to be splitting in court.

"users expect an interactive experience with a website" - I think this is a generalization that is getting a lot of web developers into needlessly complex toolchains and frameworks.

When I'm in a browser, 99% of the time I expect the page to have what I'm looking for. I rarely care if its interactive. In fact, the more interactive it is, the less enjoyable the experience is. This holds even firmer when I'm on a desktop.

I'd argue that WeWork's strategy was a disaster itself. FOMO into disasters is one thing, FOMO - AFAIK, was not a WeWork strategy.

Were there 23 lessons, or none? Seems like the author couldn't focus on what they "learned," which likely suggests the post is simply a way to increase their profile after what is largely considered a failure.

This article would have been way more valuable if distilled into a poignant lesson or insight about why Clubhouse failed.

This would be a cool plugin for Google Maps for essentially any public Wifi, wouldn't want to limit it to cafes.

I built a version that takes your PDF, prints it, chutes it into a scanner, and uploads it to S3. The realism is unmatched.

You should get a camera and write an OCR scanner that automatically scans the receipts as they are printed, then pushes it into a DB so you can view all your issues via a simple web application, replete with tracking, reminders, and then an e-mail integration that e-mails the opener of the issue when you put a comment on the receipt that's printed and rescanned.

"Travel like Delta" would be subtle enough I think.
