About me:

I worked at Cisco Systems and AppDynamics (post acquisition) for 12 years doing keynote demo creation (both more fictional, lower stakes and high stakes, real live prototype Webex hardware and software), sales enablement program management, and general IT program management. I think my ideal company would be one that is moving quickly but needs more help listening in, building good communication streams across their teams, and getting people unstuck.

Lately I've been freelancing doing presentation design for data analytics projects, and would be happy to either just crunch your numbers or to take some sort of question you have for your business and ask questions until we can find repeatable easy ways to track what your business needs to grow. I would also be ecstatic to join an engineering team where I can use my years of experience building and honing products and get more experience playing Product Owner on a scrum team.

I'll have to follow Yahtzee and Frost wherever they go.

I've been following Julien Miquel for most of this year. Not _actually_ following him, but occasionally checking out how his youtube channel has progressed. It started with my gf showing me one of his videos for a word that I had never even heard of. What struck me at first was how inadvertently sensual he had made that specific video. And then, how in a 30 second video he butchered incredibly common pronunciations of "this" (thaaas) and "word" (werd).

Not that it's a problem. I'm in awe of his ability to chunk up and produce so many videos. He's found a niche and is filling it. I wonder if it actually pays him that much. I'm not sure, since most videos have only tens of views.

He does troll pronunciations too, like for the word "XXXXXXXXXXX", where he just says the letter X over and over. Maybe that was a test video.

I'm so in awe of him and I was hoping to learn more, and this article doesn't actually contact him or interview him or anything. What a tease! And they even get the lead wrong. Do people _choose_ Julien Miquel? Or has he SEO'd his way into the top of google results? I argue the latter. To this day, I would not choose Julien's choice of how to pronounce any English word. I might let him be a part of many different informed options..

I recently saw the website on here for YouGlish. That's the same niche, solved so much better.

But for now, Julien Miquel is probably my favorite 2023 performance artist, whether he's trying to or not.

To quote your own example, this will be controlled by the government, which takes a long time to do physical infrastructure projects. So I would lately just assume it's not worth the investment dollars.

Cars already do talk to various traffic lights via underground sensors and occasionally a camera. The investment required to have a fully networked traffic light system with a centralized controller would be immense, and would create an organization with a natural government given monopoly.

Your use of 'correctly' paints a world that seems ripe for more corruption and ultimately worse timings across the network. If you wrote 'better', then I wouldn't have commented. I think I'm nitpicking

I'd love to know more.

Using http is fine because you're just trying to access a webpage and not do any sort of transactions, but not really a good general practice to do to just make things 'work'.

If it isn't his site and is just a complete 1:1 replica, I'm not sure what that would achieve except mess up his analytics, which could be the case. Or maybe someone's trying to inject malware into our computers through it? Hmm

I tried to go through a link he posted and through google, and they all result in the same untrusted certificate.

I would guess just don't put your billing details into his site (joking, I don't think he has anything like that on there)

What's weird to me is that often times if I'm seeing something like that, I'll swipe down and do a screen recording to record the behavior. And then, lo and behold, the behavior fixes itself. You can interact with that web app. You can scroll in that windowed view.

I'm gonna go with Hanlon's law for the moment, but... has anyone else experienced this? Is there some sort of process that gets activated that does some sort of hard reset of the webpage and therefore might fix whatever process has stalled? I'd love to have a better answer than my current theory of 'it does something'.

I'm not an iOS developer, and I realize now that I've written things out that I do know enough that I bet I do some research into how the screen recording function works... but maybe someone knows faster?

Thanks y'all!
