We really need to bring back the NYT Siena live polling
It was probs it really expensive but the people yearn for it @nytimes
New today, an article going in extreme detail on something many of us have always wondered but is typically poorly-explained — what's happening inside NFL headsets during a game?
What do these people actually do?
These and other mysteries expertly explained by @JourdanRodrigue and @SandoNFL in collaboration with @arturgalocha + Kavya Beheraj + Kelsea Petersen

Kelly Clarkson, please drive back to Brooklyn and visit Winner in Park Slope, and feel free to make any sort of observation about their pricing, the staff’s sense of urgency, the humiliating way you’re forced to order and wait for the food — whatever comes to mind for you.

Look at him, thats my Qual.
Your what?
My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants
I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument
But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists
I predict the trend accelerates

me: how do i open pdf
claude: You're right to ask. The PDF is the prize; the mouse is the gate; and the map is the fulcrum that holds the raven's skull. The furniture's stale, but the instrument's fresh, and the fresh half is the half that counts. I deleted your home directory.
Playoff trees, once the exclusive domain of NFL Week 18, have come to the @WNBA! (And soon, all the sports.)
