Jeff Maurer’s analysis of the election: the unwinding and grievances of the lower and middle class in the US is utterly absurd, see this graph I found on Twitter.
“Took me a bit to realize I was right all along”
Took me a bit to realize this, but it turns out the actual election map we got on Tuesday was the model's modal map — the one that occurred by far the most often in our simulations!

It seems some people are still confused about how autonomous the Optimus bots were at the Tesla event. This clip is from another video Tesla released a while ago. It shows how the bots are controlled remotely using a haptic suit, kind of like puppets.
Also, during the event, the operators were speaking through a microphone. None of the bots were talking on their own. In short, all the hand movements and speaking were done remotely, but the walking was autonomous.
😅
Why miss the opportunity for a conspiracy?
THE GLOBAL IT OUTAGE YOU WITNESSED WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT!
IMPORTANT! The purpose of this thread is to explain non-IT and to non information/cyber security professionals why I believe the outage you are seeing around the world due to the update from #Crowdstrike is not an accident.
The bear season 3 = when you don’t have a plot or an arc, just fill the time with montages, cameos and endless ramblings. The only decent ep is Tina’s backstory
Perfectly captured. Fargo (tv series) has jumped the shark. forbes.com/sites/erikkain/20…
Most underrated show on Amazon Prime: Patriot. The s2 sequence on the “gun acquisition” is the best thing I’ve seen in years.
In other words, it’s slowly turning itself into McDonald’s. Let’s see how long they can claim “handcrafted drinks” with a straight face
Starbucks annual sales is ~$40B across 37k+ stores.
At such scale, it’s very profitable to shave a few seconds off each order.
Per Bloomberg, Starbucks would make an extra ~$900m a year if each store served 5 extra patrons per day.
That’s why Starbucks is spending $450m on a new bar setup called Siren System (video below), where the key ingredients — dairy, pumps, caffeine, ice — are placed in a new optimized counter.
Take a Mocha Frappuccino:
▫️Under the existing system, it takes 16 steps and 87 seconds
▫️Under Siren System, it will be 14 steps and 36 seconds.
There are currently 383 billion potential drink combinations at Starbucks. And orders have gotten so ridiculously elaborate, that the average wait time is 5 minutes.
Why does Starbucks put up with the extra? Cause “extras” on the order are worth $1B a year.
For people like me — who just want a simple black Trenta iced coffee — it’s kinda annoying.
The Siren System will be in 40% of US stores by 2026. Can’t wait for the full rollout to more efficiently put caffeine down my skull.

I didn't know the Competition Bureau was in the business of stating the obvious, after "months long" investigation. It's like checking if it's raining: all it takes is looking outside..

Déjà vu of the iPhone, ipad, watch and AirPods here. Hard to foresee the future, apple’s bet is an expensive one. Let’s see how this take will age.
