god bless the steelers for being just an amazing team over the years, but my favorite historical fact is that the only reason they dont suck is because they took 3 million from the league to cross over into the AFC. before that they had (and still have problem) the record for worst season ever.

Steelers aren't even on the top ten for that

hello old friends. i have something for you. http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2014/12/24/inadvertent-algorithmic-cruelty/

quote:

I didn’t go looking for grief this afternoon, but it found me anyway, and I have designers and programmers to thank for it. In this case, the designers and programmers are somewhere at Facebook.

I know they’re probably pretty proud of the work that went into the “Year in Review” app they designed and developed, and deservedly so—a lot of people have used it to share the highlights of their years. Knowing what kind of year I’d had, though, I avoided making one of my own. I kept seeing them pop up in my feed, created by others, almost all of them with the default caption, “It’s been a great year! Thanks for being a part of it.” Which was, by itself, jarring enough, the idea that any year I was part of could be described as great.

Still, they were easy enough to pass over, and I did. Until today, when I got this in my feed, exhorting me to create one of my own. “Eric, here’s what your year looked like!”

A picture of my daughter, who is dead. Who died this year.

modern corporate structures are anathema to empathy, especially when their CEO has said that not wanting to use your full legal name for everything shows a "lack of integrity"

I mean, did he think this company was just letting him have free web hosting and instant messaging? OF course they're going to reduce you to stats. this is why i left fb, i had more "I don't want this mined" stuff than "I don't care if this is mined" stuff. i know it's got an extra twist the knife thing due to his child, but i don't really think this is worth impassioned Blog Posts. Just shut down your FB.

their full legal name policy would make sense if it was consistent, but when executives let their friends use fake names, you have a problem

a shake shack ipo is the opposite of bubble stupid poo poo

a hugely successful local fast food chain opened a handful of satellites with success, so now raising capital through public markets in order to fund major expansion

this is how stock markets are supposed to work, as opposed to venture capitalists and "entrepreneurs" foisting garbage paper on the public when they can't line up a good merger/acquisition deal

The company said it would use net proceeds from the offering to buy common membership interests of SSE Holdings LLC, which is the predecessor of Shake Shack for financial purposes.

not mentioned: using the money to expand

also their income is dropping and costs are rising, this is basically a stock-market-funded buyout of the original investors who are probably getting nervous

shake shack has better beef but in n out is the crown jewel of american fast food burgers.

seattle shamefully only has dicks which while an amazing 1am burger is not the kind of thing you sit down and eat during the day.

i lol'd at this when pinkberry first opened there and i was reading about around the block lines while i was strolling into the random pinkberry in my local suburb of LA

turns out when you have a city of 8.5 million you end up with hundreds of thousands of basic white people.

it isn't about getting mad at the computer for being rude so much as a bunch of tone-deaf coders who are trying to create a one-size fits all approach to their user base because they're thinking of Facebook users as walking collections of data and not millions of individual human beings, some of whom may have had a terrible year
