The mention of Decentraland in this article reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiZhdpLXZ8Q

The comment one viewer seems to sum it up:

They made a virtual world so boring that you can't even find weird perverts in it.

'Earn points for each search you make through Bing'

I did not know this existed.

There's something a bit sad about it.

I wouldn't be surprised that Chrome's hook in future iterations will be that it serves like a loyalty card e.g. use Chrome and make extra savings clicking on their ads. Just don't call it a web browser.

I've got a 14 year old imac that says otherwise

The point I'm making (albeit glibly) is that the perception of the public is that we shouldn't be imposing speed limits to our roads that appear too slow. However the reality is that in many places we can't even travel at the maximum speed allowed on them because of the sheer volume of traffic. I don't care either way tbh.

But I need to travel faster! Good luck https://www.tomtom.com/newsroom/explainers-and-insights/lond...

Ah scud race. I'll never forget finding that machine in a bowling alley arcade and noticing the coin feeder wasn't closed. Surreptitiously opening it to find a little button that could be pressed to automatically add a credit for free each time. That was one Saturday I'll never get back and I don't care.

> Some birds learn to recognize their own eggs. If they come home and find a foreign egg in their nest, they will dump that egg onto the ground.

It can also works the other way round. Remove an albatross chick from its nest and the parent doesn't recognise them and the chick will starve https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7619547/Fans-Sir-Da...

Nature eh?

I'm thinking of what is going to happen to the placenta as that comes flying out and your newborn baby becomes a human bola.

The slider only goes back to 1900 and up to 2023 so 1962 halfway between the two?

To be fair BPI were pretty good at scaring the absolute shit out of the general British public in the seventies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0xmSV6aq0g&t=2s

I just trod water through my high school (read secondary school in the UK) years. Like you I am not the boy I used to be so hiring 'him' would not be a good fit.

Daisy. Daisy. Give me your answer dooooo...

I was listening to a programme on the radio the other day and they highlighted the same thing as you. Put a billionaire in a party with average people (with money, health worries etc) and they would be unable to relate to any of the other party goers. So removed they are from general life that they might as well be aliens was the conclusion.

I like to imagine the sound of them being born is pop pop pop

Got to mention the Pharcyde surely? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnCeZY6nxjQ

I don't think even employers know what it is anymore. The amount of posts for jobs I have seen where experience of 'agile and waterfall is desirable' is mentioned in the same breath. You think 'what sh!t show am I letting myself in for if the business doesn't know how they operate?'

Surely everything scientists discover 'rewrites' our understanding of something? That's the whole point isn't it? Interesting article though.

I agree with this. As you're working in a small startup why not ask if you can just change your title? Unless there is some obvious hierarchy it couldn't hurt to ask to change it to say 'Digital Project Manager'. If you show willingness (and not ask for an immediate pay rise) there's no harm in them 'promoting' you. I know from working at quite a few agencies they generally love to show off their 'X Manager' to their clients. And the fact they got you on the cheap makes them warm and fuzzy inside. Once you have had a fair crack at the whip you can ask for the salary commensurate with your experience. And if they so no. You can go elsewhere and start your new journey.

While it is irritating the frequency of them, personally I prefer ads that aren't relevant. I'll spend my money when I want and I don't like to be manipulated by an ad. Plus I like to feel that online marketers know as little about my preferences as possible and are wasting their advertising budget just showing me useless products and services. I'm looking at you Grammarly...

Visit somewhere smelly like a farm and your sense of smell is blown away by what you would call pretty odiferous smells. Stay there a few days and the smell seems to lessen. I guess the receptors get blasé about these molecules to help you cope with your new environment. So I would go with the idea of saturation.

And forgotten how to fly
