So, just how much is @James_Holzhauer dominating Jeopardy! Here's a plot of the cumulative earnings of every player prior to him who won 10+ games in a row. Note, first of all, that there are just seven of them. (1/3) washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
Now, check out what happens to the chart when you add Holzhauer to it. Nobody else is even in the same quadrant. His *average* earnings per game are roughly the same amount as the *record* earnings per game prior to him. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
Watching Holzhauer play is basically like watching a baseball team score 30 runs (the modern day record) in every single game. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

Plainclothes police in Oklahoma shoot three preschool aged black children in the head. They fired into a moving car driven by a man suspected of robbing a pizza shop. ebony.com/news/community…
“My 4-year-old daughter was shot in the head, and she has a bullet in her brain, and my 5-year-old has a skull fracture,” mom Olivia Hill told KFOR. “My 1-year-old baby has gunshot wounds on her face. My 2-year-old wasn’t touched with any bullets.” ebony.com/news/community…
"Police claim they began shooting because Smith was attempting to run them over with his truck... officers were in plain clothes that day, meaning Smith very well may not have known the two men approaching him with guns were police."

Wow. @NatGeoPhotos appears to have published a number of aggressively doctored photos in a recent feature? No mention of alterations in the article. Photographer appears to have clone-stamped regions of the Milky Way, among other things.
Any Milky Way shot's gonna need a lot of processing, especially with landscape stuff in the foreground, but I've never heard of people just cutting/pasting pieces of it to fill an image out to their liking

This is... quite the finding: About half of white Republicans say it bothers them to overhear people speaking foreign languages in public. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
More than 1-in-5 Republicans agree that having a population comprised of “people of many different races and ethnicities" has a "negative impact on the country’s culture.” If I'm not mistaken this is a kind of textbook definition of white nationalism, yes? washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
Interesting thing about the language question is it just asks about overhearing others talking in a public place. It's not registering displeasure at say, trying to communicate with someone who doesn't understand you. It's pure resentment. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

Here's an interesting thing
It's a Sencore VSB Player HDTV996.
It's some kind of bench device (for video of some sort?) but check out that totally-a-PC-drive DVD?
look around back and OH YEAH THAT'S A PC.
that's just a PC. 100% a pc.
and not a very recent one either: it's using an AT keyboard!

Here's what I see when I look at this photo. It's very similar to a lot of Hospital Board of Directors photos, Med Society pictures and the other 'ruling elite' of Medicine across the USA. A bunch of tired, over-privileged corruptocrats who practiced medicine in the days....1
...when you didn't get questioned about your patient care decisions by everyone in the medical system including the janitor. There was no overburdensome EMR that you spent 40-50%+ of your day interfacing with instead of patients and you certainly got paid for everything...2
...After they got done raping the system, they saw the writing on the wall that their years of fraud and corruption were going to catch up with medicine so they decided to sell the rest of us out and became well paid lap dogs for the forces that want to bring REAL docs to...3

Here's my method for scale, dimensions and metrics
1. Player scale is a convention.
By default the most comfortable height is 1.8m.
Since 0.2 m are irrelevant we can presume the player is in 2x1 bounding box.
we can aprox cover height to 1 m.
I like to use the following number for my grid:
- 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
A 4x4 box for the 1x1 m cover where 1 box = 0.25
Normal wall heigh in a corridor may vary but the most comfortable number i found are:
- in FPS games 3 meters
- in TPS games 4-5 meters

Here’s a thread with some pre-earnings thoughts and reads prior to the $SNAP Q2 earnings today.

Biggest thing I am looking for is the Snaps Created per Day metric (will probly have to wait for the 10-Q), updates on Bitmoji, content plans, and hints on the long-term AR strategy.
(This is not all-inclusive of my Snap thoughts, a few more that paint a bigger picture can be found in my earnings threads below from the past two quarters. Happy to discuss as I realize I have extremely an contrarian view on Snap.)

The context for Snap’s Q2 earnings is very interesting with the recent 20% post-earnings drops by FB and TWTR. Two big reasons for those drops:

1) Slowing/declining usage in North America and EU
2) Anticipated drop in FBs margins as it invests in things Snap did years ago

Note on infrastructure. If you care about it, and every American should, bear in mind that only one major bill will pass in the next few years. If we pass something crappy, Congress won't circle back to pass something better anytime soon. So, set the bar high.
MoveOn and a slew of allies have been campaigning for a *good* infrastructure bill for a while now, in the Millions of Jobs Coalition. Follow its work at @RealJobsForAll.
