  11. Před 20 lety jsem si poslal e-mail do budoucnosti přes nějakou časovou kapsuli Forbesu, a ten email mi fakt přišel. Je to zajímavé čtení, osobní, ale tohle můžu sdílet:

    👨‍🎓 Byl jsem před maturitou, chtěl jsem se dostat na VŠ (VUT v Brně). Povedlo se!

    🧠 Uspořádával jsem si život a učil se ho žít. Stále v procesu!

    👨‍🎤 Poslouchal jsem house a nosil křiklavé tkaničky. Teď poslouchám leccos, nosím oranžovou mikinu.

    🎮 Hrál jsem eldar.cz/zvav, teď hraju 0 A.D. a SuperTuxKart.

    🦊 Četl jsem weblogy.cz, používal Firefox. RSS čtu stále (nebo zase?), Firefox používám stále.

    💳 Kupoval jsem doménu littlemaple.net, dnes mám honzajavorek.cz

    💻 Na DELLu s Celeronem 750MHz a cca 200MB RAM jsem dělal ve Photoshopu weby. Dnes na Applu s M1 a cca 8 GB RAM si v DaVinci stříhám videa a pracuju na vlastním projektu, junior.guru

  12. What are folks thoughts on the veracity of information from #Forbes and #bloomberg? I know #MichaelBloomberg is estimated (by Forbes realtime billionaires list) to be worth around $105 billion, yet he does not appear on his own realtime billionaires list.

    Forbes I know less about. Their estimations often run higher than bloomberg - especially for #musk.

    I'm trying to decide how to reconcile the differences in estimations between the two: favour one over the other, or average the two for a somewhere inbetween.

  15. #NYAG showed a 2015 #Forbes article.

    Trump scoffed: "Forbes. They're owned by China. Now, they sold to Russia."

    The article says that #Trump was very much involved in inflating his #assets,

    Trump: “I have very little respect for Forbes."
    (Forbes broke the news that Trump inflated the size of his apt & recently knocked him off the billionaires list.)

    The article cited a recorded conversation at the time. Trump atty #Kise objected & called the recording inaudible. #Engoron agreed re quality.

  19. Admito que estoy confundida.

    Forbes saca una nota de irregularidades en una asociación en la que Josefina Vázquez Mota es presidenta y quien denuncia es Mexicanos contra la corrupción y la impunidad de la que Claudio X. Gonzáles Guajardo es presidente (si no es que el "dueño" enmascarado como suele ser en todas las ONGs).

    ¿Qué no son cuates todos ellos?
