I have no favorites. All my children are beautiful*!

Respect to Zoom for moving updates to after the call! A million job applicants not wanting to be 5 minutes late to their remote interviews, thank you!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

There was no way we were going to build a billion dollar startup on top of the walled gardens of Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams

So in the course of less than 3 months, our tiny team built a direct competitor instead. Itโ€™s live. Itโ€™s free.

Not necessarily.

Because football is a skill, but it's not as extreme a skill as soccer. In football, you can overcome a lot of skill with pure physical attributes and athleticism, and a summer or two of training.

The skill of soccer takes decades.

This is the enduring appeal of racism: People that can't do algebra, and don't know binary, octal, or hexadecimal...

get to look at a fake list like this, and then convince themselves that they're smarter than hundreds of millions of people that can.๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yep.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This is why you can't take racist people seriously.

As I've pointed out before, Nigerian middle school curriculum not only has kids doing Algebra in the 7th grade, but also Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal.

But racists sit around and make fake IQ ranking charts to cope.
