There is No Cloud, Only Zuul - DTNS 4575 Extended (Patreon)

Warner Brothers Discovery announced quarter ending June 2023 earnings and has lost 1.8 million subscribers across all properties including Max, the newly combined HBOMax and Discovery+ streaming service. France’s AFP news agency is suing Elon Musk’s X platform, aka Twitter, because it isn’t negotiating payment for sharing AFP stories on Twitter. Wired’s Gregory Barber has an article up about the “Local-first” software movement. Local-first has become popular in the developer community, along with the slogan “There is no cloud. There is just someone else’s computer.”

Extraordinary Claims Need Extraordinary Evidence - GDI 4575 starts at 31:15

Is the room temperature superconductor finally a real thing? It could change so much of how we transmit power across the world. Justin is a doubter. We need more replication of the results. Robb is a bit of a science nerd. Could someone win a Nobel Prize? Roger stays on the negative side. So much science talk. Do we live in the age of miracles? It’s magic until it's replicable. Tom dunking on Thomas Edison. It might be a false positive, not fraud. Replicate and love.

Starring Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Justin Robert Young, Roger Chang, Joe.
