mine is loving public record and people still get all weirded out by me not giving a poo poo and offering to tell them when they are asking about my job and say things like "oh I heard that pays well".
same, and people sometimes freak out when i tell them that they can see the exact figure online, and not just a "this job makes about this much" range.

there is a burger place near my house that has both an inside line at the counter and an outside line where you wait for the chance to wait in the inside line to pay $10 for a burger.

and just down the street is a goddamn amazing burger joint that cooks a classic fast food burger over charcoal and maybe has a three person deep line at lunch rush.

no burg is worth two lines.

i dunno man. how do they make a person disappear in one place and reappear at another place thousands of kilometers away with a multi-km/s inertial change?

in other words, they got super-physics in the future, how come they can't have super-sociology in the future as well?
everyone went into stem to get them to that technology, so there was no one advancing the social sciences.

Not really sure where to ask, but

Can anyone please recommend some good books about Microsoft, Silicon Valley or the first (or current) tech bubble? I dont mean like a Bill Gates or Stebe biography, although I may read a Bill one, but like a history about their business or how they built their empires.

I was recommended Opening The Xbox for example as a cool look into designing the og xbox
it's not really directly any of the things you asked for, but The Soul of a New Machine feels like it might be of interest. it's also probably the yosposest book i've ever read.
