Ed found and acquired See Food and suggested Monica as a point person after his drinks meeting with the developers. Once Laurie realized what Periscope bought the tech to do, it should have been pretty clear to her that it was not capable of recognizing food effectively. So she should have figured out that Ed passed…

But even Google's image recognition makes mistakes like confusing an airplane and a bird or a dog and a horse or that racist 2015 incident for which the company apologized where it labeled a woman as a gorilla. All that is just part of the growing pains of image recognition. If your app exists entirely to be able to…

Was it a pittance? He promised him a royalty, but I don't remember the amount.

Ed did absolutely zero to earn this win. If Monica doesn't deserve credit then neither does he.

One of the core messages of Handmaid's Tale has always been a strong critique of middle class white women like June who didn't care about fighting for their sisters until it affected them. And I think that was probably the intention of the new Ofglen story. But I think it is poorly executed. It is waaaaay easy to read…

Exactly. It was incredibly gross. I would have walked out.

Modern dandy is the perfect way to describe him.

No I get what you're saying.

I don't.

Doug Liman has the strangest career.

Oh yeah. I can't wait to see her in The Last Judy.

I find Aziz quite attractive, FWIW. Always have.

Omg his dad is my favorite. I would watch a whole show of just him talking.

Who the fuck is Daisy Riley?
