Suomalaiset haluavat suojella norppaa. 🦭

🦭 Saimaannorpan suojelulla on suomalaisten ja Saimaan alueen asukkaiden vankka tuki, ja enemmistö kannattaa verkkokalastuskiellon pidentämistä heinäkuulle. Tähän on nyt myös mahdollista vaikuttaa – lisää asiasta alla!

WWF:n teettämä kyselytutkimus: Saimaannorpan suojelutoimet hyväksytään laajasti ja kansalaisten tuki niille on entistäkin vankempi

Tuore WWF:n teettämä kyselytutkimus osoittaa, että saimaannorpan suojelulla on suomalaisten ja Saimaan alueen asukkaiden erittäin vankka tuki. Myönteinen suhtautuminen suojelutoimiin on jatkuvasti…

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP

As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why:

The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's.

The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere.

Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong.

Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their
product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google).

The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam

It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well.

At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available

We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either.

Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

Bunch of quick designs for family and various people Lafayette knew before he met Lucius and joined the gang.

This was a lot of fun to do I might end up doing more pages like these. Possibly one of the whole gang next!

Thinking about petroglyphs again. Thinking about what I would fill a vast blank wall with. #art #drawing #rockart

A 3 page collection of various animal glyphs in the artist’s sketchbook. They have been drawn with a colored pencil and inked over with a brush pen. Tigers are the dominant species depicted, but there is also a Rhamphorhynchus pterosaur, a wolf, a tufted titmouse, a ball python, several betta fish, a turquoise darter, and two coelacanths.

[cries in pancreatic cancer survivor so hard i vomit]

I don't think people realize what a huge deal this is, especially for pancreatic cancer, a critically underfunded cancer because rich donors don't like supporting causes where the cancer is so deadly because they view it as a "bad investment."

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.
