We need shared definitions to tell meaningful stories with our data. And then use a company specific example like how a customer's journey can not be understood with differing definition between marketing and sales. The marketing team can't measure the quality of the leads they're producing unless they can directly link a customer's whole journey from acquisition to churn. Otherwise it's just vanity metrics. But don't be too harsh, vanity metrics are really common in business. A company needs strong data leadership to create a culture of using data to justify decisions to a culture of using data to inform decisions.

Lol, I think that was BTKFS but maybe I should switch just to be safe

I normally use ext4 or btrfs and I like my wife so I won't make the switch

Lol, yes he was surprised by the police and search parties 😅

So pot plants have somewhere to die

Well I was 5 and my friend's dad drove me home

Maybe this is outside of the thought experiment but I would focus on digitization. Text compresses very well and you can fit 100Gb on a CD sized disc with an estimated 50+ years lifespan (m-disc). So you could easily fit over 30 million text only books on a single 100 disc spindle which is the size of 3 small physical books. Add some redundancy and it might be 25 million books. Books with images would be slightly less compressible but you could still fit 100s of thousands on a single spindle with redundancy. Get yourself a small bar sized wine fridge to control humidity and you could probably fit every book every made in there.

This all assumes you want to preserve the content of the books and not the books themselves. You obviously can't digitize every aspect of a physical book like the ornate artwork on the spine etc. in which case I would focus my preserving efforts on those books and digitize everything else.

111 hours is the average commute in Toronto

What about AI agents that do shoplifting for you?

Yeah, I'm sure it's for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc

I'm sorry about your grandmother. Given she had a stocked liquor cabinet for guests shows she was a thoughtful person. I hope you found some great memories in her belongings.

I use the Amazon, not the online retailer, the rain forest.

Is the molecule willpower?

If you're immortal in the sense that you don't age it would be dangerous to be outted. 8 billion jealous mortals would be an issue for you.

I've used Thorium in the past and thought it was decent. But given Google's updates to the chromium project I've moved away from chromium based browsers.

Pluto is a mushroom

Probably wild camels in central Australia or a platypus when I was young.

I was watching a bald eagle fishing yesterday from my window. They must have moved in to the area, bay of quinte in Ontario, which is good news for their numbers.

I have no idea what it was doing in California

Steroids probably

That's why I always pee on someone else's pants
