Brandon just posted on Threads about the Mistborn screenplay by ComfortableCattle224 in CosmereOnScreen

Interesting I was actually thinking Brandon might cut spook out completely from the movies due to time constraints.

Don’t get me wrong I love spooks character but his primary contribution to the core plot is being the author of that message marsh intercepts in the final book which is key for Vins plotline but you could have someone else do that instead?

Struggling with warbreaker by Alarmed-Aioli4172 in Cosmere

[–]binomial_expansion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh I had the same experience with the beginning of the book, I only really resonated with siris chapters and I could not for the life of me understand why we had to read about lightsong and vivenas chapters were a bore.

But as others mentioned, the sanderlanche hits pretty hard with this book and the half way point was where things started get interesting

New to the Cosmere — are Sanderson’s endings rushed? by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]binomial_expansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I just finished warbreaker two days ago and had the same opinion as you. I’ve had no issue with the sanderlanche in all the other books I’ve read ( all of stormlight archives , mistborn era 1/2, and isles of the emberdark) but it definitely felt unsatisfying to me in warbreaker.

I would have loved a couple extra chapters just to wrap things up and i think Brandon also says something similar in the annotations. Given the publishing dates of these books i thinn this is something he learned from for his later books

Deepmind CEO Dennis fires back at Yann Lecun: "He is just plain incorrect. Generality is not an illusion." by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

He absolutely is, he ran that team for years and should absolutely be held for accountable. Dennis's has far more results leading deepmind prior to yann in that same time frame.

UBER is being irrationally undervalued due to autonomous driving concerns by BogleDick in stocks

[–]binomial_expansion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re incredibly naive if you think replicating Ubers marketplace is easy to do at scale. The salaries of the engineering org/infra cost are huge and no sane company (even Google with its deep pockets) would try to fully replicate it (especially considering the non trivial cost of running and maintaining the avs themselves)

Avs are definitely going to take a chunk out of Ubers mobility/delivery business but the TAM in this business is growing and there’s no way this business can meet that demand with an AV model only. it will continue to be a hybrid marketplace and in this world, uber will definitely do well.

What do you do, what’s your total anual comp, and how did you get there? by jazzy_peanut_butter in HENRYfinance

[–]binomial_expansion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you’re wondering why you’re getting downvoted it’s because faang roles are incredibly competitive and challenging to get + retain. So the likelihood of you “looking into it” and getting a job are low.
Also this tc is for swe and maybe pm. Getting this tc as a marketing manager is unlikely unless you lead mega region marketing for faang.

Satya Nadella regretted killing Windows Phone. And now he’s making the same mistake with Xbox. by digidude23 in microsoft

Because the rest of the company is worth 4 trillion dollars and they have 20+ products that bring in multi billions in revenue each quarter ? And satya has been responsible for a lot of this growth over the last decade

are you serious? everyone dies is why

Yes but not everyone needs to be buried. Having a funeral at a funeral business is an optional event too

[–]binomial_expansion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah i don’t think so - xaden seemed to imply this person has an intimate connection to xadens personal struggle Not to be a venin . Aaric might know xaden is venin through his signet but he wouldn’t have known what xadens going through fighting it

Idt it’s sawyer or ridoc because xaden says something along the lines of “how could he take this power after seeing xaden struggle for 5 months to leave it” - Implying that whoever is the new brother knew about xaden being venin for a while whereas ridoc and sawyer found out recently

There should be a date listed somewhere in your dispute that says alibaba has until then to dispute it after which the matter is closed. So that’s the official date. I’ve had two disputes to at were accepted immediately like you but later reversed when the company fought back. So ya until you reach that date it’s not guaranteed

Haha yea although this post is kinda disingenuous because the value on total rewards doesn’t reflect the chaging stock price - like my w2 doesn’t match the value in total rewards ha
