CEO of Toptal here. If you like, I can ensure we review your profile and client matching history to see if there's anything we overlooked. I'm available on Slack or [email protected]. We’ll see if we can optimize your visibility to clients needing backend/data optimization experts.

While we look into this, Opire (an open-source bounties site) has lots of short-term opportunities.

Didn’t they actually see the object on multiple radars using multiple types of detection methods? Assuming that’s true, the camera glare story seems unlikely.

The problem is they built campuses and feel stupid about devaluing them. Combine that with a backwards mindset and, for most companies, the situation becomes clear.

It’s really that simple.

So says the PR companies that the hotel industry hired to write this story.

So, if the ICIJ coordinated the last one, then who coordinated this one? It seems like Forbidden Stories is the main organizer though they also make it seem like “The Pegasus Project” is the organizer as well, which seems rather confusing.

So, PBS seems to have done a documentary on this, which was just released an hour ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a2BIYWHdfTE

Did all of the media outlets organize together for months in advance to be able to release everything today? The content and production quality makes it seem like this release was planned months in advance.

Also, assuming they did, what’s the process all of these news organizations go through in order to plan such a release on the same exact day? The planning of the release in such a coordinated way is almost questionable itself, though it would be good to get insight into this.

This is just a rehash of https://future.a16z.com/instant-games/ which itself is a rehash of what the co-founder of Playco stated.

This must be some sort of objective measure of society entering into a new era.

The study was done by Robert Half, a recruitment company that is extremely old school and works with mostly antiquated companies. This is simply confirmation that many of those companies are behind the curve in their culture and mindset.
