Ah I miss De School. It always feels a bit uncanny seeing Tillatec wearing the hand me downs, even though they have their own thing going.

And the most interesting part is that despite falling short from its predecessor, Tilla Tec is the best currently working club in The Netherlands.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, I assume it is because you use dots to seperate large numbers in most European languages and they forgot it's different in English.

usually its a combination of . , not exclusively . for both the thousands seperator and the radix point.

Well, they appear to have remembered it when typing the radix point, but forgot it when it came to the thousands separator.

This might have happened to me before as well...

I'm just gonna say that some aspect of the data collection here seems flawed: among the SF clubs listed are DNA Lounge and Public Works – which are great clubs, don't get me wrong – but they are very much on the smaller side. And, Phonobar? That is a bar/restaurant, not a nightclub at all. Meanwhile, The Warfield and 1015 Folsom are left out – how does that make any sense?

Which is the best SF nightclub? I got baited by online reviews to visit DNA and was disappointed.

DNA is good - but it's a club for the actual artist and music to go - and less as a place to hang out on a random night

In excitement over the cool-looking visualizations, we lose the sight of its usefulness. The entire article hardly has any text talking about how these visualization would be useful and to whom.

Even if this is an ask from a top-level managers hoping that it would help their decision-making, let me tell you that, this will be binned after everyone agrees that the visualizations are very cool. Decisions are driven by other factors.

Btw, SF night clubs actively refuse to let “tech nerds” in. I witnessed whole groups of people who attended the huggingface “Woodstock of AI” meetup circa 2023 and the local clubs would refuse to let anyone in who wore glasses or wore Patagonia. Thanks John Hughes films!

That doesn't make sense. Huggingface is a 'popular' tech company. Maybe those 'nerds' just didn't have tickets

No one outside of tech knows what that is

As an introvert, what are you even supposed to do at "clubs"? Besides having your eardrums damaged

Dance! Dance dance dance dance dance. When you lose yourself in the music and the motion, it's a type of spiritual experience.

The risk of hearing damage is easily mitigated by 1) wearing earplugs 2) going to better clubs which have properly tuned sound systems.
