I mean he is promoting the startup, it's an investor pitch. I don't read what he's saying as being inaccurate though.

"It seems like this is you trying to promote your Hollywood startup" Not my startup, I don't have any connection to them other than via my co-founder. I do run FWD:Everyone though.

Increasingly in Hollywood, the creative assets for movies are being produced before the scripts are even written. So e.g. for a movie that they know will have a fight scene, they just go in and capture a bunch of different sequences with di

It literally says in the video I linked to that they're using the pre-vis to determine what the plot should be. If that's possible, then I don't see anything even remotely absurd about the idea of creating a market to license

Not afaik. This was over ten years ago though so I’m somewhat fuzzy on the details. It was just surprising to me that it could cause medical issues without even being directly hit, especially while being in the house.

Not surprising. I was inside a couple feet from the window (with wooden blinds down) when lightning either hit a few feet outside or hit the house itself, but either way the noise and/or shock wave was strong enough that I had ear infe

We have the same thing in the U.S., where people paid to dispose of people's dead pets just dump them on the side of the highway to save money. E.g.: https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/11/dead-animals-f

Have any of the studies released data yet? I was under the impression that even the data from the short term studies wouldn't be released for another couple of years.

I also find the censorship to be deeply disturbing, but for me that's counterbalanced by the fact that the arguments against vaccination are so dumb. The best argument is basically, "It's not researched enough and it might

Day.js is basically a drop in replacement, and is 97% smaller. You still need to regression test, but imho it's one of the highest impact ways to spend a few hours if you care at all about performance.
