    In the "Notes" app on the iphone, there is a note which says "msg me on X". Back then, it was Twitter. Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

    Content marketing for a startup that does "Document infrastructure for agents". They want you to sign up for an event they're hosting in SF.

      Feels like they are unintentionally marketing the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary rather than themselves.

    This is great, it reminds me of promotional websites from the Adobe Flash era. Ads were a lot more fun back then.

    Why do I have Nathan Fielder's look in my face (same when he was staring at as EH on the pilot), as I'm going through all the features on this site?

      Hope you're lounging on somebody else's bed too, while you're doing that. :D

    Whoa. With a lidar scan of my house, a drone-captured point cloud of my neighborhood, and a backup of my icloud, I could create an immersive 3D snapshot of my life. And then what if other people did the same and we networked them together, so that we can actually interact in the snapshot. It'd be like second life except actually cloned from real lives. weird

      I had a thought the other day that you could probably divide up the world into cubic miles and with a few thousand codex subscriptions make a high fidelity blender model of the entire world based on google maps, street view, and tagged location photos.

      What would you do with a whole model of the world? I don't know, but it would be fun to walk a national park while I'm on the treadmill or basejump off of a realistic el capitan.

      If only google could use their AI to generate a wiremesh model out of their google maps streetview data, and make it public. And then another model to generate texture.

    Burying the api key in notes on the laptop is a nice touch.

    It's so strange to see this here. I remember when this site was nothing but foaming-at-the-mouth fawning adoration of Elizabeth Holmes long after her scams were exposed.
    • andybak 4 minutes ago
      My first memory of her being mentioned on this site was the dawning skepticism followed by the big expose. But it's possible I missed the fawning because it didn't sound as interesting

    Super slick buried Extend marketing
    • kbyatnal 53 minutes ago
      we parsed all the theranos PDF filings with Extend (https://extend.ai/) and wanted a fun interactive way of visualizing them!
    • daemonologist 15 minutes ago
      there's even an extend api key in there (invalid though, would've been cool if it did something special)

      thank you!!

    The reminders section is the second most entertaining bit after the messages. Look it up. It's hilarious!!!

      yay i'm glad people are finding all the easter eggs!

    Kinda cool, but also annoying that it's just backdoor marketing for a b2b SaaS company.

    All I feel is that UI of MacOS and iOS is so inferior now than it was then... :\

      If only apps were opening in an instant, odd feeling of having it on random website but not have it natively.

      only because it was. We peaked with skeuomorphism at the turn of millenium.

    In my genearl observations of office desks/cubicles around me I have noticed that the only people with carefully stacked books, often more than one or two, were the ones who didn't really read.

    I spent way to much time with that :-D

    Not that it matters or anyone cares, but it's so obvious Balwani was manipulating her emotionally. There are so many instances where he says "Love you", or "love" or "I am in love with your beauty", while she is more direct like "I love you", "I am in love with you" etc.
    • ambicapter 16 minutes ago
      I don't see how either of your examples are necessarily more direct than the other?
      • ksd482 14 minutes ago
        hmm..perhaps I was biased because I watched a couple of documentaries, a tv film and read the book by John Carreyrou "Bad Blood", so my eyes were primed to look for this pattern.

        But he was definitely manipulative in this regard.

    I love how incredibly vapid the emails and text messages are.

    And by love I of course mean: I love, LOVE, LOVE, [repeat ad nauseam]

    Nails on a chalkboard.

      there's too many easter eggs to count, I didn't even realize that one existed
    • bolau 29 minutes ago
      thank you :))

    Ok I'm a pretty passionate anti-advertising advocate, but if advertising is gonna look like anything, it might as well be this!
