You think he's going to inform his children that he proudly made this world possible so that for a brief moment he could create massive shareholder value?

I've been on the other side of such calls and Riverside has been great. Allows you to get the best quality video at the rate that their Internet can upload it and at some levels you get separate tracks for sound as well so more nuance in editing if needed

Many moons ago (olden days of 2019) I wrote about why it's important to think of diverse futures and I used this billboard as an example. I love (really hate) seeing how far we (haven't come) medium.com/designing-to...

But can you cuddle with a helicopter on cold nights?

@davidgerard.co.uk peak ai nonsense for your site

France & Spain are rediscovering & reviving only since the pandemic before then they were in decline too.

The Indonesian Warungs are fascinating. Esp given the distributed geography they cover on a massive archipelago of islands. In places like India and Indonesia many of the corner stores also carry hyperlocal brands which serve local needs.

*Colmados are making a comeback in Spain

& China has a thriving corner store culture. They're present in all these mkts but never considered they should learn from East to West.

In India neighbourhood stores called Kirana stores are magical sometimes. You might enjoy reading this piece on their design

It's amazing to me how the West is just waking up to this. We did a piece of research for a client in 2022 looking to build a 10 Yr strategy & they were surprised that we found epiceries in France & Colmados making a comeback whereas Indonesia already has a thriving Warung culture >>

@davidgerard.co.uk what could possible go wrong?

Imagine thinking about a biologically complex and fascinating system like the human body and trying to boil it all down to discrete data points. It fascinates me how much we want to over simplify things to match our mental model of them rather than expanding our own thinking

Oh if you're in Amsterdam you can also try the restaurant Saravana bhavan they might have a mango Lassi too. And bonus you'll also get excellent dosas (kind of like crispy south Indian savoury crepes)

I think it might be. If you have an Indian store around they might carry it.

If you get Amul products in any of the Indian stores you could try their mango Lassi tetrapack. It's not perfect but it's more than decent.

Ya. Indian mangoes just have a very deep flavour that mangoes from other parts of the world just don't unfortunately. And for Lassi you need that rich flavour otherwise it gets drowned out by the sourness.
