From a _consultancy_ it feels a bit on the nose. Do you have a system that's mostly working at the moment? We'll migrate that at huge cost to something else (for little upside, but it'll get sold in really well to senior management)
This marketing effort is aimed at shareholders, not customers or employees. The stock has been tanking hard and she's just replicating the strategy of staying in AI related news hoping for a bump. Hopefully it works, for the employees anyway, so they can dump their own shares.
> on another note, it seems silly to have both firefox and safari. perhaps there is some unificaiton strategy that we can get these two to pursue. combined, they certainly have enough marketshare to drive webmasters.
Was 2005 really such a different time with respect to monopolies that someone like Brin would actually think it's "silly" for more than one browser to have significant market share? Wasn't Microsoft punished also for bundling IE with Windows?
The context here is that IE has absolutely dominated the browser market for years in 2005.
So I read it as “Given we’re trying to have an alternative to IE, it’s silly for us to further fracture the ecosystem, rather than collaborate on a viable contender.”
Wikipedia shows november 2005 browser share as 88% IE, firefox at 8%, and netscape+other at 2%. (not sure why this doesn’t add up to 100%)
There's been a recent article [1] about a very similar students' project at Darmstadt University. Interesting to see that the post referenced here precedes this by about five years.
Does it have a standard tripod mount? Also, maybe for a later iteration, if you could make a case that enables compatibility with GoPro accesories would be plus.
Otherwise, I'm very impressed, it requires a lot of dedication and different abilities to makes something like that!

Absurd times we live in, comedic and dramatic at the same time.
is this true? it is not listed on the club's website[0], maybe it was a one-time-only kind of deal?
I do recall a couple of those for nascar (dogecar looked great too), the whole dogecoin community was great back then, but this seems big-ish.
If what they call 'consistency' is just the total number of stories posted, it's not really surprising to see a strong correlation with total karma points, is it? The more stories posted, the more karma gathered. Anything else would be a real head scratcher.
You could say, there might be people who keep posting stories even though the don't get upvoted, but that would be kind of irrational. If the community doesn't seem to be interested in what they post, they will stop doing so sooner or later.

Probably many people stop sharing in this case indeed. But for those who don't, I guess the idea is: eventually, if you keep sharing, you can collect upvotes here and there, and eventually the karma will go up
