Is there an easy process to scrape data from a website url? Excel, API?
Goal: website has 5,000 company names on it. Want to just get all on .csv or gs easily/quickly.

@HuntClancy That’s sick. Check out Diderot’s Encylopedie sometime too. About 20 years earlier. Total internet precursor.

for the last books as physical objects class we got to see an original copy of the Declaration of Independence I’m going to be sad not to be in the classes I had this semester next semester they were a lot of fun good professors good students good times

@aexm It was my friend with a beard, in the pre-hipster era… total “papers please” situation. Still kind of meh on Switzerland 20 years later.

Can somebody who ideally has and likes one explain the concept of passport covers to me? 🤔
English
@aexm Yeah, back in the Nokia days when I ended carrying it around a ton.
That one also got me hassled by Swiss plainclothes cops one time over a faint EU exit stamp

@bd2k How does your passport get banged up? Jeans pocket kind of thing or?

I'm mostly not a Meta Ads conspiracy theorist. But when I see all of the nudges Meta gives you to move away from Bid caps, I assume it's because they want you to use Cost Caps. Then you'll spend bad dollars on overpriced conversions–but have it look good in a blended average.

@dougclinton Feels like another parallel with human cognition/creativity too

@MSGiro @SouthwestAir Did not know that. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt here, but maybe with a little side eye…

Flying @SouthwestAir flight with a CO2 monitor, and the air quality is bad and climbing steadily. Big contrast with my American Eagle flight before the holiday.
(Apologies to the guy in front of me who I blasted with the icy vent air)
English
@SouthwestAir Great to hear — is there more you’ll share for a public audience? Our not full flight is cranking out the CO2

@bd2k Hey there, Brian. We definitely take the conditions onboard seriously. So that we can properly document this, can you please DM us your confirmation number? -Brytani

@2021Deej @SouthwestAir Just enjoy the groggy vibes I guess.
Ran into a Harvard med prof/researcher over Thanksgiving who studies aq and he recommended drinking — he said it makes the booze hit harder

@JeremyBloomHere Omg, all the cold inbound has ruined calendly for me. Like I know it’s convenient, but it feels so cringe to send one now

LinkedIn DM pet peeve: “can I run something by you?”
Just shoot your shot. I’m reading.

@catherineperlo1 Great scoop, Catherine. That’s like 3 for 3 on Google taking action on these reports, right?

Scoop: Google is letting advertisers opt out of the search partner network on all campaign types, after Adalytics last week found that ads placed here ended up on sanctioned, pornographic and pirated publishers.

Everyone hated the VW Beetle when it came out. Love it or hate it, the Cybertruck will be remember as an iconic and ground breaking design.
