So awesome.

Yeah - they are kind of hit or miss for me too - I'll buy a couple of the big bags when I see the Cherry BBQ flavor chips at Costco. But, I'll try just about about any of their flavors - just a really good chip.

As per usual with these types of threads - the hype out paces the facts by a distant margin: Meta’s CTO Andrew Bosworth implied that only a few people for very senior leadership roles may have been offered that kind of money, but clarified “the actual terms of the offer” wasn’t a “sign-on...

Of course, this is probably better in the AI thread - because that’s what we are talking about. We are not talking about random engineers.

This is a short blurb from some guys in the know talking about this: https://youtube.com/shorts/GQiE5q9WnWM?si=oxB4a4FH0ZDOGmTf

I've not purchased it, but have gotten back in to playing a few games of CIV Vi. Negative reviews have been a big part - seems like its more trouble than its worth right now. Had seen Potato's mental health issues - hope he is doing ok.

https://9to5mac.com/2025/07/11/report-apple-set-to-land-us-f1-streaming-rights-in-150-million-deal/ Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported that Apple was in active negotiations to acquire the streaming rights for Formula 1 in the United States. Business Insider now builds on that...
