*Very* interesting #story about how a #startup was killed after getting large #vc #funding https://old.reddit.com/r/startups/commen.. I think the point is - don't deviate too far from your winning formula, especially because people who don't understand your success tell you to do so. I can very much see why more #funding than you need can kill your #startup / #company . The vast majority of #successful companies never recieved a single penny to #startup .
The #film #thedevilconspiracy is a mixed bag. It has some *really* nice parts, but equally it doesn't feel like a $5 #million #dollar #movie at all. The #idea for the #story is not too bad, I would have leaned even further into the #horror of it, in this case the #devil wasn't nearly bad enough.
Really cool #story by #stevewozniak of #apple #fame https://web.archive.org/web/201111222025..
Really cool #story about #nasa #solving a #vibration #display #text #problem simply with some #strobing https://gizmodo.com/how-nasa-solved-a-10.. In the #hackernews #comments is a great #story about testing empty #cereal boxes with a #fan https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=344.. Genius!
Really cool #story about a #child being #investigated for being a #japanese #spy in the #us http://milk.com/wall-o-shame/security_cl..
Just finsihed the #magicalindex #anime #series again (up til the current), what an amazing #story . I still think that #accelerator has the best #story #arc , from #villain to #angel , amazing. I really hope they create more #episodes in the future.
A #retraction - it turns out the #fired #ap #reporter #jameslaporta was incorrectly #fired after only providing the #story https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fire.. It was actually #vanessagera and #lisaleff who incorrectly #published an un- #sourced #story ! Looking at the #messages , #jameslaporta acted really quite responsibly. Still, their reporting system is quite crap.
I've been quite getting into the #vampireacademy #tv #series . The #budget appears #average , but it seems to be a good #balance between a #vampire #story and #royalty . Some of the #story is a little crap, but it is mostly interesting at least.
The #anime #devilmancrybaby was not too bad as it happens. I'm not a #fan of the #art style, the #story was a little " #american " in places, but it was otherwise good. Wouldn't certainly suggest it is worth #watching ,.
Very cool #story about #students #revolting against a #university 's #surveillance https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/07/senso.. What was interesting to me is that #hr #bypassed the #ethics approval system for #scientific #research , despite it being a *requirement.*
A very funny #story #played on #thelotuseaters of her #majesty the #queen https://youtube.com/watch?v=rZMbCDx8qIM A very awful time in #history . I suspect things will continue to get worse too.
#gleipnir is a pretty interesting #anime , which I am still wrapping my head around. The main #idea is pretty #abstract and there is certainly a lot of missing #story now.
Maybe #gchq does actually have a #backbone , after telling the #nsa they would not help #coverup #theguardian #story on #edwardsnowden and his #leaks that #embarrassed the #us https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022.. Apparently this did #stress the #fiveeyes #relationship , but to be honest I'm impressed that they actually did something good.
Apparently the #fbi told #facebook to #ban and #censor the #hunterbiden #laptop #story during the 2016 #election https://www.zerohedge.com/political/zuck.. So the #fbi is now #responsible for #misinformation ? (They literally have spent their entire time doing this...)
Harrowing #transgender #detrans #trans #story https://youtube.com/watch?v=BIf89N63uWA I really *hope* that people know what they are doing. This isn't to say the majority are like this, but at least quite a few are.
Very good #youtube #video by #disrupt on #julianassange https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ku1HlGguf_0 An amazing #story .
