QHC

Props on her for speaking up, though. Nothing changes if the status quo is toxicity and silence.

For sure! I hope nobody took either of our comments as dismissive of a victim or not believing what she shared.

Sorry, but I didn't see anything she posted that really has merit in this discussion. It's from one junior, inexperienced ex-employee, and most of what she said is just normally "unhappy employee" stuff.

Anything of value that she mentioned is already covered by other sources, most notably the video GN showed with LMG employees and Linus himself saying their pace is too fast.

Edit: I took the time today to properly read her entire thread and I changed my mind. There's a lot here that is very concerning and deserving of investigation.

While also monetizing the video and plugging their merch, in direct contrast to GN not monetizing the original video that started this whole thing. Absolutely brutal move there.

Gamer's Nexus recently released a video detailing how LMG's pace-over-all-else attitude is in direct conflict with their "we're going to be a serious data company" plans for LTT Labs. What has people the most upset, however, is the story around Billet Labs. LTT did a terrible, rushed, unprofessional job at reviewing a custom prototype from a small startup--they used the wrong hardware (after losing the GPU the company sent them to test with), didn't care enough to re-test properly, and then auctioned off that hardware instead of returning it to the owners.

Linus then responded (only in a space he controlled, of course) and said "we're going to do better, trust me bro" and made everything 10x worse. GN was essentially forced to respond to that because Linus blatantly lied to cover up the timeline on the Billet Labs fuckup.

Oh, and LTT also released a video in the middle of this that had a ton of testing problems, just like the original video outlined.

Now we're here, where the new CEO, Linus's wife (and co-owner, to be clear) and the rest of the LMG leadership have to pick up the pieces to try and salvage their reputation.

Odd choice to hire Jim "Adrenochrome" Caviezel, in that Case. Why not any other actor that is not already associated with this issue?

First off, credit given for writing up an explanation and posting in a public forum, even if I do think this is a crazy take that doesn't stand up to pretty much any level of scrutiny.

And I say christian instead of religious, because she is clearly referencing the idea of a grand plan that is not present in polytheistic religions, she’s talking about god’s plan.

There is a colossal reach from "there is a god with a plan" to specifically Christianity. Judaism and Islam don't get a chance to audition for the part at all, huh? And that's just the Abrahamic traditions that directly share the only attributes you listed. There are plenty of other religions that fit, and that includes other monotheistic belief systems (which also begs the question, why is Christianity not categorized as polytheistic and why does that distinction matter at all?).

I'm also just going to assume you mean evangelical Christianity and not other sects, given the general unawareness of the subtleties of religion in general.

What does Google have to do with Adobe not supporting one specific browser not made by either company?

What a ridiculous, tech-ideology-above-all-else take. Not to mention over a decade past being relevant.

Flash could do things other technology at the time could not. It served a purpose at the time, thus its huge level of popularity.

Even if LK-99 does turn out to be a room-temperature superconductor, significant challenges around manufacturing and engineering would remain before it could be utilized in real-world applications.

This part seems irrelevant for this story. Of course there are going to be challenges and unknowns about taking a lab experiment to mass scale production. That is true of literally every thing that may eventually become mass produced.

What's interesting about LK-99 is not whether this particular room temperature superconductor would be useful. It's about proving that any such material is possible to exist. That would ignite a huge effort to discover why, which will lead to the development of other, better materials. Some of which will be scalable and affordable, most likely, given enough research time.

But until we know it's possible, why spend all of that effort? The first discovery on the edges of science are almost always most important as a signal that research is headed in the right general direction.

I was surprisingly disappointed with Glover's performance as Lando in Solo. It felt like an impression of Billy Dee Williams more than an earnest take on the character. Donald certainly has the raw charisma that Billy Dee had, which is really all the character was ever about since we knew nothing about his backstory or personal motivations. So, not sure what was missing, but it felt out of place when I watched the movie.

As with any performance it's hard to know how much is due to the actor and how much from direction/editing, so I'm sure he can do the role justice. Assuming there's a good script and everyone else is doing a good job, of course!

Is it better than a light rail system, or would that not help sell enough products from a company owned by Musk?

I work for a marketing agency which has a mix of typical office roles (accounting, HR, sales) and industry specific positions (mostly creatives and developers). The former are normally used to Windows from previous jobs or school, and the exact opposite is true of the creative departments. So, choosing which platform each new hire prefers is standard for us (and has been for more than a decade).
