  • This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

  • I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.

    That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.

    I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.

    Edit: more mind bogglery!

    The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)

















  • Netflix is forgetting that a large part of their success was due to being more convenient than piracy.

    Oddly, I have noticed that most people I know aren’t interested in taking the minimal risk to sail the seas now that there’s widespread cause.

    Back when Netflix was awesome, I knew a LOT more people who were willing to dive in to the technical stuff, risk, and additional effort to strap on an eye patch.

    Anyone’s guess on the root cause, but I feel like the amount of people on the interwebs now have absolutely no idea (or interest) how anything works. “Push colorful button to do things” seems to be it.
