During the event, Twitter usage increased from 20,000 tweets per day to 60,000.[32][33] "The Twitter people cleverly placed two 60-inch plasma screens in the conference hallways, exclusively streaming Twitter messages," remarked Newsweek's Steven Levy. "Hundreds of conference-goers kept tabs on each other via constant twitters. Panelists and speakers mentioned the service, and the bloggers in attendance touted it."[34][/quote[

FMguru posted:they paired it with a tech conference in the mid 2000s you're way off. they added "SXSW Interactive" and "Multimedia" in like 1994 and 1995 which was almost immediately deep tech bullshit especially as the first bubble crested. you had sites like blogger launching just before an sxsw and really talking themselves up at the event itself, with blogger doing that in 1999 twitter wanted to show off at SXSW after going open to the public a while prior precisely because sxsw had already been well known as a place to talk about your internet bullshit, including ev from twitter being one of the big people doing stuff with Blogger back in the 1999 and 2000 SXSWs heres some fast company article going over the history of all the tech bs at sxsw starting from the mid 90s https://www.fastcompany.com/3026402/oral-history-sex-drugs-apps-and-sxswi infernal machines posted:IDK, it probably helps the people who were not otherwise vaporized, burned to death, or separated from their dermis by the pressure wave avoid a lot of cuts and scrapes from glass and other debris

Last page, but this wasn't that bad, because you also had to give Clarence or whomever $8/hr to use their hotspot. Of course, this still leaves the fact that BBH Labs thought the best way to help their local homeless people was to give them WiFi to sell to visiting hipsters.

fishmech posted:flying cars were invented like 60 years ago and marketed ever since, they just kinda suck and are expensive    it doesn't matter what you call it -- a flying car is still an aerial vehicle, meaning it's either an airplane or a helicopter, and it has to obey all the same physical laws. you can't just use Machine Learning(tm) to get around the fact that your flying car will need a longer runway on a hot day in the mountains than on a cold day at sea level, or any other of the million things that make air travel more complex than driving how many people have you seen on the road accidentally cutting off a semi truck on the highway? well in a flying car, even if they don't get pancaked by the 737 going five times their speed, they fly into the larger plane's wake turbulence and get sucked down to the ground at 3000ft/min and everyone dies. how many people have you seen on the road with a heavy overload in the back, squatting down on the rear suspension? in a flying car the center of gravity imbalance put them in a flat spin and everyone died. how many people have you seen on the road driving into a heavy snowstorm when they probably shouldn't have? in a flying car their wings and prop iced up and everyone died.

lol, i just noticed that the ercoupe ad specifies its range as "450 miles (no wind or reserve)" FAA requires that all of your fuel calculations account for expected winds and include minimally a 45-minute reserve. gee i wonder why

also to be frank i don't think the average american could safely fit in a "flying car" looking at that ercoupe ad again, it's got an empty weight of 800 lb and a max gross of 1260 lb. 24 gallons of gas =~ 144lbs leaving 316 lbs for the passengers and their baggage. the average american man and woman weigh 191 and 159, respectively, putting the plane illegally overweight even if they were naked and brought nothing with them

Sagebrush posted:also to be frank i don't think the average american could safely fit in a "flying car" i mean the ercoupe is kinda a different thing cuz its just meant to be about the cheapest while being easiset to fly planes possible, so it has some extra compromises for that and doesnt make much towards roadability things like the aerocar that actually went for roadability, could fit the average modern man and woman and a small amount of luggage while still fitting all the fuel it could carry. and you'd be taking up pretty much all the space inside with the two people and the small bit of luggage anyway
