I would love to see some well thought out ideas. What movie do you want to see in theaters? What television show do you blow us away with? I would make a science fiction movie about the day the Technological Singularity occurs and use most of the budget on awesome effects while also informing, educating, and entertaining.
This might be something to ask in some other subreddit, but one of the better known trivia notes about Psycho is Hitchcock brought the crew from his TV show. So, how much of a transition would that have been at the time? Would the lighting be way more elaborate than they were used to? More camera movement? Did they have to redo parts of it because some scenes were initially too dark or brightly lit?
So, have any of you gone from one to the other and found the transition really jarring?
It will feel like more and more 'important' people are dying. This effect will be amplified by internet omnipresence and general appetite for real-time news. The number of daily death news stories will likely increase year over year for decades to come.
My company, Alarm.com, does the back end work for a lot of security companies. We integrate a lot of different smart home/home security devices and lay the framework for a lot of the monitoring software, but we don't actually sell directly to homeowners. Instead, we sell to security companies like ADT! So when I saw that the devices/system in the ad were ours, I was super psyched! I've always dreamed of having something I worked on appear in a popular TV show or movie, but a Superbowl ad is just as good!! Today, I'm proud to check that off my list of life goals :D
*Edit: removed the link to the ad because this isn't a commercial, just me being happy :)
Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good. I wanted to share a small project here where I'm working with one of my friends. Itβs a podcast, if you're into it, you can listen and give us feedbacks, if you aren't into podcast, just ignore this post.
The theme of the show is about two software engineers who dive into some details of their life outside Nepal. Cultural differences, career/financial counseling, jobs, and few trending topics (to make it interesting) are addressed here on this show. We wanted to give something back to the Nepali community, genuine and honest information sharing is the least we can start with being outside the country.
Since this is the first episode, we havenβt talked about any particular topic to a greater detail, but weβll be doing that from next episodes. We are already receiving questions about education and jobs on our social medial channels.Β Also weβll be inviting guests and taking interviews too in order to get the true information out to Nepali Youth back home. Weβre already overwhelmed with the support and responses from our listeners. Suggestions and feedbacks are appreciated.

We pretty much all go to Hell. Turns out, the only people who really had a bead on the requirements for Heaven were one tiny breakaway congregation that formed out of a splinter group of a dissident sect of a fundamentalist revival of some seventeenth-century faction of the original Puritan immigrants in New England.
Yeah. Don't we all feel stupid, how did we not see that. No, I wouldn't dream of directing sarcasm in an upward direction, how dare you make such insinuations. Anyway, I guess they're all up there feeling smug? All several hundred of them? We don't really have any way of knowing, apart from what we were told by some snooty angel before being booted down here.
And down here's not great. I know, right? It doesn't even fit the old joke about "Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company" because EVERYONE IS HERE. And actually the climate's not that bad. The original plan, apparently, was to put us all to work, and too much heat bit into productivity.
What's that? Manual labor? Yeah, we got new bodies, no, they're not that different from the old ones, and fuck you, I have no idea how any of it really works. If you die here, you just sort of get...recycled. Only it takes a couple hundred years and you're usually pretty traumatized, so people try not to do it. No one ages, which is nice but can be kind of weird for some people who hadn't been thirtyish in a long time. Everyone's able-bodied, there's no sickness, injuries heal pretty quick though no one's about to put on a superhero costume or anything.
Everything you'd want in a slave, I guess. Within certain limits, which also raises certain questions about whether omnipotence is really a thing, but again, fuck you, no one tells us anything. What we know is that sometime around the time humans started freeing their own slaves, emancipation fever started getting going down here as the dead brought new ideas with them. There was a big revolt, we won, we started carving out territory.
And now it's a war, all the time. We were doing pretty well at first. Gunsmiths die, you know? And there's plenty of ore and minerals down here. Even wood. I mean, it's weird and it has eyeballs, but you can kind of dig them out with a spoon and...and hope you don't have that particular factory job for long. These days they're trying to automate the eyeball-removal proc

250,000 ME and EEs, 250,000 CE and ChemEs, and 250,000 Phys, Bio and CS graduates are placed in three separate societies for ten years. At the end of the ten years the societies battle to the death. Each society is initially given an abundance of materials and resources. The battle takes place in an empty modern Tokyo with all three starting in a different equilateral-triangleish section.
Round 1: As written
Round 2: Societies are given 100 years to develop
Round 3: Societies are given 1 week to develop
Round 4: They team up vs 20 million high schoolers and neither team has internet access.
