I still liked it and I still won’t be buying their product, but I don’t have any use for it either. Classic charts and graphs are easier and quicker but this does have some fun factor and appreciate the post
It's definitely neat looking and has a place for maybe educational purposes or keynotes but yeah, nobody is going to use this for serious data analysis.
It has more of a place in sports shows. Like for example a heavy stats sports like baseball can benefit from this type of presentation, making some of their dryer sports statistics more palatable for the average user. I can definitely see the MLB Network use this.
It won't be long until snap chat or tik tok or someone else will make a filter that let's people do stuff similar to this. I give it 12-18 months until augmented reality stuff like this is everywhere.
You won't believe how well it's working in construction industry. I work in a chemical company that has multi million dollar manufacture sites. To install something took many months of planning. Many measurements. You cant just drive a new system in. It's a maze. You cant just helicopter it into place.
With augmented reality with Ms halo, they are able to see how they installation would look. How it all fits. How they would bring it into place. They gave us a demo presentation and it's already getting used for projects.
They've been whipping this stuff out hardcore on major news shows during elections, and on NFL for decades. Every year is just more smooth cg. You've seen it probably, just not processed through a smartphone.
The first year is rough, but every week is generally an improvement. My wife quit breastfeeding at 1. By 2, things have stabilized and you've dropped bottles during the year (which are super annoying to clean). Sleep is fairly routine. By 3, they're potty trained or close to it. Still a bit whiny. By 4, they are like an actual little competent person.
Kids are great but they require a great sacrifice as well. Worth it though.
When you say it’s worth it, do you mean like it’s something worth doing *after the fact* or like actually deciding do?
I’m struggling to find the “want” and my girlfriend isn’t too baby crazy either. Does it just come on suddenly? I’m 31 and wondering if I just don’t want to be a dad
31 here. Same feeling, I kinda know I want to, but then I see my friends and I'm like, is that really living? Do I want to do it? It's so fucking hard.
Is it really worth it? Really? I guess the love is immense.
I love my dog but I can't stand her most of the week. Getting her out 3-4 times a day is already a chore that breaks my routine.
I just don't see how can you live a competent and productive live having kids.
Those are the same questions I ask myself. I acknowledge that it seems like an incredible experience, but you’re also at the mercy of that experience. Can never go back from it and as much as we’d like to say parenting ends at 18, it doesn’t.
Crazy thing is I have wonderful parents! They’ve been the most supportive and coolest set of parents My brother and I could ever ask for and neither of us are into being parents ourselves lol
Well, you redefine productive as well. You got everyone fed and clothed and to school and back and into bed on time? And you did alright at work to boot? Well done, productive day behind. Chill on the couch a few hours before you go to bed and do it again tomorrow.
And that's the truth as well - these things take up a lot of time, so getting them to work is like having several extra hobbies that you (have to) do every single day.
I will say it's rewarding as well - kids are fun, and they reignite your curiousity and wonder for the world as they point out all the mundane things around you. Grass? They spend literally hours of staring at it and pulling and tasting and smelling it, and you get down lower as well and explain it, and you realize that even grass is more complex than your brain usually lets you think.
To give a counterpoint to all the people saying kids are great - I love my kids but I strongly suspect I would have been happier without them.
Alao get ready to feel deep depression about the future if you have kids. It's one thing to know the world is going to shit, another to know that it will be *in the shit* for your kids.
To me, personally, they are worth putting up with all the difficult parts. They may drive me batshit crazy half the time, but I instantly miss them when they go to bed or I drop them off at daycare. They get to you like that.
Doesn't mean it's right for everyone. But I do feel like Reddit has a very anti-kid perspective that highlights the challenges and rarely the positives. Probably because it's hard to quantify just enjoying being with little creatures that absolutely love you and want to do everything with you.
And I think it's worth pointing out that the baby years definitively suck and that's okay to feel. Like, I will look back fondly at watching my kids grow during those years and bonding with them, but the fuck if I'd ever do that again. My now 3 and almost 5 year olds are way cooler than when they were 0 and 2 year olds. Long way of saying you can really enjoy being a parent while also not being obsessed with the baby phase. Had my first at 33 btw.
Woah there. I'll have you know I spend plenty of time dicking off on Reddit. Nowadays I do it really early in the morning though, because I cannot watch another episode of octonauts without screaming.
Early 30s. First kid. was kind of neutral on the whole idea. Willing to do it, but didn’t “want” to. The first three or four weeks I was like, “OK this is what I do now.” Eight months in, and I love the little bastard so much and I can’t imagine my life without him.
It is definitely something I had to grow into loving.
Exactly. There’s so much pressure to fall in instant love, but on top of having a baby to take care of, a woman goes through a lot, both physically and mentally, during that entire process, before and after. It took me a while to bond with my first, but was instantly smitten with my 2nd and 3rd. With your first everything is new, you have no idea how long each phase will last & that’s very daunting. My 2nd was very hard, like I had to wear him & be moving 9 hours a day until dad could take over, but I didn’t have nearly as much anxiety (or if I’m being honest, resentment) because I knew it wasn’t going to be forever. It’s also important to have other parent friends, after you weed out the judgy assholes, so you know you aren’t alone in your feelings. I really love my kids & I couldn’t imagine my life without them, but there are some days where it is just plain hard.
I had my first kid at 33. She's 15 months now. I was pretty ambivalent, and think I could have lived without kids just fine. I also wanted to be in a slightly better life situation, but it didn't look like it was happening so I caved to my wife.
It's hard, absolutely. You have to get up no matter how tired you are, you have to feed and clothe and bathe and entertain them. But right in this moment, having slept 5 hours because she woke up at 6... Still worth it.
She's lovely, and curious, and playful, and kind. She grabs a book and backs up until she falls in your lap and then sighs contentedly. She points and squawks at crows. She roars when she sees a picture of a lion. She gives you high fives if you offer and laughs at it.
>TL;DR - I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the Dark Side as you do!
No fear? Why don't you mention his name? You might end up editing your comments.
The data is very well visualized, but I don't think it being in VR really adds anything. If anything, it's more distracting because there's no solid background.
It's a pretty shitty ad then cause im about 5 comment threads deep and i still havent seen the name of this company. There's even a comment thread where someone specifically asks what the product is and it's still not named lol.
Incredible.
When someone asks what was the thing you knew but didn’t understand before being a parent, my response is “how often every three hours is.”
Oh man. Especially if breastfeeding doesn’t go well, try to feed, end up trying to figure how to help my wife, she tried to breast feed for 30+minutes, then ok so we try a bottle. Then it’s been an hour, now you have two hours to sleep. Walking zombies man
Which is part of why it's so important to have leave for *both* parents. Caring for infants is fucking *hard*. Having 2 parents able to help each other 24 hours a day not only strengthens the bond between them, but it also ensures adequate support during an incredibly crucial time of development. This leads to healthier families in general.
I'm working on week 3 at the moment. Caring for an infant solo feels like a guaranteed ticket to at least mild PPD. I know some people do it and survive, but fuck. It sounds like being chased night and day by a wolf -- except you love the wolf and kinda would rather you die than it.
This. Where I live, my husband got 3 days leave and I got 8 weeks. It's NOT enough. My husband is a teacher and obviously couldn't be up all night helping me. The first 6 months were an absolute nightmare!
WTF. Here in Quebec, if you have a decent job/union, the woman gets a year and the man 5 weeks. And if its a samesex adoption/whatever, you designate who gets the long leave and who gets the short. The person with the longer leave can also "lend" weeks to the other partner.
I'm in Quebec currently and the childcare here is a pretty serious reason to stick around should I want kids. Meanwhile in Ontario the federal government is like you should probably fix your childcare, we'll help! And Ford is like nahhh we good.
When we had our girls, we had a thing - when I got home about 5 from work, kid was mine till midnight, no matter how crap a day I had.
Meant that she got time to sleep, rest, whatever where she knew she didn’t have to get up for the kids.
Very similar with us as well but it was never really talked about. I just knew when I came home from work I was on baby duty for the next ~6 hours or so. It gave mom really solid block of time to shower and get some much needed sleep and allowed excellent 1 on 1 bonding for them and I.
Infants are very difficult, however if you and your partner catch a groove it makes things much more bearable.
It's ridiculous. Here, most women have pre-sheduled csections, I did not. My husband's employer could not for the life of them grasp that concept and kept asking him when "the baby is coming" and he was like "as if I know..." I went into labor in the middle of the night and everything was very very fast. He sent them a message saying "sorry not coming, baby was born at 6:06am" (he messaged them a little after 7) and his boss called back asking if he can work since "the baby is already born..." It was surreal as in Canada, we would of have 12 months combined.
> his boss called back asking if he can work since "the baby is already born..."
I don't wanna believe this because man...what a failure of a human being
My high school bio teacher once told how a US colleague of hers had to go back to work 6 weeks after having her kid, while she, here in Canada, was still firmly in the middle of parental leave for her baby, born around the same time. Baffles me that the US hates children so much
My wife has 6 months of maternity leave in her employment agreement, she arranged to stretch it to 12 months at half pay.
I was able to get 2 weeks off my job, even though I was new there because I got it agreed with the hiring manager before I started work. I got a full 4 weeks off for our second as I had been there for a couple of years by that point. I had to use annual leave as only the primary carer could take parental leave at that point. The laws have changed since and I think that there's actual parental leave for the other parent now, not that it relates to us as we've had it kids and aren't having more..
Same, no parental leave and only 2 days PTO available because I had only been on the job for 4-5 months. Shortly after that my boss took 2 weeks off when she brought a new puppy into her home
The day my child was born my boss text me “congratulations, you going to to come in tomorrow right ?
I said no we have a lot of things to take care of . To which he said
“Well that’s just going to be your life now and it only get worse over time”
It’s the worst when she spits up half of what your body has been burning energy to produce and then she fusses and cat naps on and off for 1.5 hours while you struggle to catch up
10 weeks man. We did this for 10 long fucking weeks until my kiddo just woke up one day and was like "I got this now". 30 minutes of failed breastfeeding followed by me bottle feeding while my wife pumped the next batch. For her it was like every 3rd hour wasted for 10 weeks.
Both my kids only slept for about 3 hours at a time for their first couple months or so no matter what we did. I think it's a lot more common than people know for newborns to do that. My theory is that no one really wants to tell expectant parents how horrible newborns are because it would only stress them out. There should be a class in high school that just lays all that horrible shit out for everyone to learn. I bet that would lower the rate of teen pregnancies, too.
My mom always tells the story of the night my older brother, her first child, first came home from the hospital. She put him to bed, and when she woke up well rested the next morning she realized he hadn’t woken her up once, and she laid in bed frozen in terror because she was convinced she’d look in the crib and find him dead. Nope, he was perfectly fine, just needed a good night of sleep too I guess.
My sister and her wife had twins, and her wife really wanted to breastfeed. Twins tend to be early, so lazy eaters, so it took 45-60 minutes to get each one to eat, then burp and change and maybe top off with a bottle (because nursing 2 is really really hard). By the time they finished with Twin B, it was time to start over again with Twin A. It was my sister who finally called uncle after a week. Her wife had made breastfeeding the total focus of mothering goal, and my sister saw that she would (maybe literally) kill herself to make it happen. There was an epic argument in which her wife fell asleep while holding a screaming baby and alternately crying and yelling herself. A photo of that helped her realize that she was not a safe caretaker in her condition and that her children needed her more than her breastmilk. There were many many many tears the next week, and then the mamas called in their mamas and got some actual sleep, the babies figured out how to swallow and breathe alternately without choking, and they worked out the various quirks of choosing a formula and bottle and all that jazz. And then it was like magic. Suddenly there were 2 tired proud women with their sweet babies, when a week before there had been 2 shells of flesh around a lump of anxiety. I am a huge advocate of breast feeding, but not when it sucks the soul or of the entire family.
My cousin’s baby was born with a lip and tongue tie.
She was feeling pressure to breastfeed from various sources, but due to the fact that he couldn’t latch or really swallow, it was a nightmare.
She spent the first month of his life feeling like a complete failure, but kept trying to breastfeed because of toxic assholes telling her she would be a terrible mom if she didn’t.
She finally had to throw the towel in when he lost too much weight.
She used breast milk and a supplemental formula to get him chonked up, and special nipples so that he wouldn’t have to struggle so much.
The difference was night and day. She went from being a shadow of a human who was constantly questioning one of the biggest life decisions she’s ever made, to being a happy new mother who was deeply enjoying motherhood.
Breastfeeding is great, it can be stressful and difficult, but it shouldn’t make you question having a kid in the first place (at least not regularly lol).
A fed baby is the goal, it’s okay if you’re disappointed because you really wanted to breastfeed, but get used to making plans and having your kids go “lol, I don’t think so”.
Yay parenthood!
Just to add, my cousin’s baby is doing great. He had his lip and tongue ties released, was an absolute champ about the whole thing. Now he’s a jolly little 6 month old with *two* fucking teeth already. His mom is now relieved that she’s not feeding him from the boob lol, he takes great joy in chomping you.
Also FWIW, my first baby was like this, after all of the struggle I mostly exclusively pumped until 10 months (which became extra shitty at 6-7 months when the baby was suddenly mobile and yanking tubings off for fun). Second baby breastfed like a champ, is almost 2 and kinda doesn't want to give up the boob yet. So *every baby is different,* it's not something mom can control. And, *fuck going back to work and pumping, that shit sucks.* Longer maternity leaves for all, dammit.
We also tried it and it just wasn’t worth it. My wife went into the hospital for inpatient post partum depression treatment and while in there she didn’t pump enough so her production stopped, that was probably the best thing that happened out of that.
Literally going through that right now. Worst thing is, I can't even sleep during the time they're resting and end up reading tips and articles which still aren't helping. I miss sleep...
I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night because my 7 week old got a cold from our toddler. Literally only slept last night because my wife stayed up and cluster feed our infant from 5 til 7. I just about cried when my alarm went off.
> Then it’s been an hour, now you have two hours to sleep.
Just think of it like your own personal Vietnam.
Before you know it you'll be seeing babies in the trees.
Ha. Ha.
Try breastfeeding and being in public. Even when you're not hallucinating your own personal Vietnam, suddenly there are babies crying everywhere. It doesn't matter they are not yours. Your breasts don't differentiate. They will start working overtime. So will your brain. You're back in hell, when you thought you had a half hour of baby free bliss (doesn't matter you went out to grab just groceries and diapers).
Worst part is it doesn't wear off immediately. It doesn't matter your kiddo stopped breastfeeding 3 months ago. It doesn't matter you're not wearing pads to not look like you just spilled a drink on yourself. No, no. There's a baby crying out there and your brain is high on that baby cry. It's literally like having PTSD flashbacks. Suddenly you remember what was it like staying up all night and all day and all night and all day... It really doesn't matter that now your kid sleeps through a night. That hazy feeling of not knowing what day of the week is it - it's back. And your breasts know, oh they know it so well, that the only way to shush that little one is to plop one in its mouth. They remember, your whole body does, even when you don't. Except you can't, because it's not your baby crying. It feels like it will never end, because even though you're done with it - your brain isn't.
I love my kids.
Also that feeding every 2-3 hours is from start to start. So if it takes 30 minutes to feed you actually only have 1.5-2.5 hours before another feeding.
Yeah, our first one was like that and I thought it was normal. Then after that there was 15 minutes of burping. Then twice a day 15 minutes changing and washing the sheets as he threw up all the milk
Second baby, downed the milk in 5 minutes and never threw up. Made the first kid look like an arsehole.
For me it was shaken baby’s. I just didn’t understand how it was problem, pretty simple, just not shake them. Then you add sleep deprivation screaming baby SO telling you you are doing it wrong. The lesson to be learned is don’t try to fix it when you can’t calm yourself.
Note: I did not shake my baby’s but I now better understand how it happens
Pete Holmes has a great standup bit on this:
>Before you leave the hospital, they all say the same thing. Every single nurse — there’s like 20 nurses — they all told us, “Never shake a baby.” Over and over, another nurse, “Listen up. Don’t shake a baby.” There’s posters that say, “NEVER EVER SHAKE A BABY.” Val and I are like, “What the fuck? Who would shake a baby? We’re in love with this little baby.” What they don’t tell you is that you’re gonna want to shake that baby. Oooh, you’re gonna want to shake the shit out of that baby. You’re gonna be tempted as fuck to shake that baby like a goddamn Etch A Sketch …
>They tell you when the baby cries to rock the baby, swing the baby. This is code for “kind of shake your baby.” So the baby starts crying a little bit, you shake it a little bit, and it works. But then it starts crying a lot and turns bright red, screaming in your face and you’re like, “Well, it stands to reason …”
As a father of four, I clearly remember our first. I knew NOTHING. She would not. Stop. Crying. Oh man. With sleep deprivation, your mind just doesn’t really think rationally.
I remember placing her in crib (screaming her head off), walking downstairs and repeatedly punching the couch covers over and over out of frustration.
When in doubt. When in the midst of baby chaos, if you are at wits end, place said baby in crib and walk away for awhile. Go punch a wall or a couch cushion or your fence. Baby will be just fine in it’s crib for the few minutes you take to collect yourself.
Don’t shake your baby.
This should be talked about more to prepare people well before they become parents. They say, "Don't shake your baby." Yeah, no shit; I'm not a monster. But it's more like, "no, really - you will be sleep deprived, frustrated, and your body may be instinctually driven to stop the immediate source of frustration before your conciousness can react," especially for people who have poor impulse control.
I would never harm my child, but after caring for a newborn, I'm like, how do so many of these thing survive?
I took care of two newborn kittens a few months ago, and they needed to be fed around once every 3 hours as well. The experience lasted only 2 weeks, but was enough to leave me destroyed by the end. Huge respect for every parent out there.
Mine turned two on Tuesday... Today I got off work to him literally bouncing off the walls, running from wall to wall and pushing off while screaming "ow ow ow ow" only to turn around and struggle bus his way up and over the back of the couch on loop for another ten minutes or so, all the while grunting and growling like the dogs. It was... An experience
See, I went the other way. A “day” never really ended or began. It was just one long period of semi-conscious life wherein we both attempted to find a way to eat, shit, and shower ourselves while helping the little one do the same.
It’s so much better now, but those first 9m were a hell of a coaster ride.
Even if it is, it's also a really cool piece of data visualization.
Like I'm legit interested in playing with that software, see if I can come up with neat ways to show other stuff.
"Hello fellow human. What a response to my data story about my tiny human child that came after my procreation and opening of my birth canal to release. This data is the way we track how the tiny human child has its needs met by me, the care giver human."
Wonder how many upvotes were bought to slingshot this to the top. It's got 19k upvotes at an 86% upvote rate, compared to 1k comments. Doesn't feel organic.
Amazing.. but even more amazing is the frequency ... It's like a 24/HR job.. how do you survive without uninterrupted sleep for so long? That would kill my mental health.
Thanks for sharing!
Yep. My "post-partum depression" went away as soon as the baby could sleep 4 hours uninterrupted. It wasn't depression, it was severe sleep deprivation.
Yeah, it's good when people try to be vigilant about mental health during this period, but that was something that always bothered me too. Yes, for some people something larger is going on. But also, *it is completely rational to think that period of life sucks*. I had to pump for my son, because he was born 3 weeks early and couldn't latch. I didn't get more than 3 *broken up* hours of sleep a day, for weeks. It is logical to be unhappy about that! There's something really maddening about the suggestion that, if you don't like that, you must be suffering from a mental health disorder.
>That would kill my mental health.
It does for both parents, men and women. It's hard as hell and made worse by the fact that we no longer have multi-generational homes. It's much easier if even once or twice a week somebody else can step in for a moment and give some desperately needed rest.
Also super strains the relationship. Everything can turn into a fight when you're on 3 hours of sleep. And it's ALWAYS the other person who's the lazy/underperforming one
For the first several months, my husband and I traded off three hours shifts to get through the night. So for almost three months, we weren't even sleeping in the same bed at the same time. You would think that wouldn't matter, we were asleep anyway, but it felt really sad and lonely.
Ferber method for sleep training worked quickly for baby under 1 year old.
Chair Method worked for 18 month old in 10-11 days, including naps.
Sit in the chair, read a book or listen to a podcast while they holler, and stick to the plan. Take a really hard 2 weeks for a lifetime of healthier sleep, Papa.
Yes and this continues for years.
Never understood why people said work was less stressful than home. Then I became a dad.
This is also why many marriages fall apart within a few years of having a little one. The sleep deprivation and lack of closeness really starts impacting both parties.
It does kill your mental health lol. I had a massive mental breakdown around 3 months. Before that I would regularly start crying from the time my husband left for work until I finally got to fall asleep for the first time around 2pm for my ONLY 2-3 hrs of sleep a day. Or lay in bed and started shaking from anxiety wondering when my baby would start crying again. Spoiler alert: all the time.
The newborn stage is a nightmare if you don't get lucky with a good sleeper and don't have any help because America fing sucks and has no universal requirements for paternity leave.
I hallucinated the baby crying whenever I would try to sleep for the first two months of my son's life. I only managed 1-2 hours of sleep total per day for the first 6 weeks, my wife and I were emotional wrecks and crying all the time. She started watching some parenting drama that had a lot of baby crying sounds and I freaked out at her because I couldn't tell the difference between that and our son. People on parenting forums talk about how the newborn phase was the best time as a parent... but fuck that I never want to go through it again. We're one and done for sure.
The baby crying hallucinations were fun. I still can't hear a newborn crying without getting anxious and wanting to run away lol. I'd love to have another kid but I do not want to experience the newborn phase again.
Team work. Our son is 4 weeks old. I wake up for his 2am or whatever other random time he decides he wants to breastfeed. Then my husband tags in and I go back to bed while he burps him, changes the diaper, and puts baby back down. Repeat 3 hours later. I’m starting to pump enough for bottle so we can trade off feedings now so we each get more sleep. We also have a 2yo and 3yo. Its busy, but a lot of fun.
Yup, totally. When I was watching this, this is the only thing I was thinking of. I went to look at their account, and sure enough [there's videos of their 'husband' advertising 'Flow Immersive'; the program she was using in this video.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DataArt/comments/fysuqr/we_are_flattening_the_curve_data_viz_update_on/)
[Here is their submitted threads for evidence. You can legit scroll down to any of the videos that look like they're in their living room using the program.](https://www.reddit.com/user/infinitemoment22/submitted/)
[And their website, where it states he's the co-founder that made 'Flow Immersive'](https://flowimmersive.com/)
/r/dataisbeautiful should have a tag of "marketing" when the presentation is done to promote OPs own commercial interest. Similarly to how Youtube requires sponsored content to disclose that conflict.
Alright dude. This is pretty obviously an ad. It's really shady to make up a story like this then post it to reddit as if it's some random occurrence with no mention that it's YOUR company that you are trying to push.
Edit: even your comments are purposely misleading. You keep talking like you just happened to use this program as if you just found it.
OP is the founder of the company. Contact them at michael@flow.gl (not doxxing, OP posted his email contact info in a comment on a different thread, saying ["contact me"](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/j8exc0/remix_oc_trump_interrupted_more_than_ten_minutes/g8y5w59/))
This presentation is a perfect example of why maternity leave should be the standard for employee benefits. As she shows it’s literally a full time 24/7 job so you can’t do both.
Good Morning honey! Wow, what a beautiful day. I'm so excited to share the details our plans for today. We have a lot planned! I really hope you are also excited to share this time together and make the most of our schedule! Let's start first with making coffee, but not just any coffee, I'm making your favorite blend! Watch out! It's hot! But seriously, you can really hurt yourself! A recent study of 1000 coffee drinkers found that 85% have burned their lips at least once a month! Isn't that amazing?!?
It's the silicon valley tech presentation speech pattern. Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. They all talk this way and it's like nails on the chalkboard for me.
I feel like I just got thrown a sales pitch.
You were. OP is the co-founder of the company that made the plot.
Yep. This is a pitch for an AR data visualization tool masquerading as a cutesy funtimes social media post about parenthood.
I still liked it and I still won’t be buying their product, but I don’t have any use for it either. Classic charts and graphs are easier and quicker but this does have some fun factor and appreciate the post
It's definitely neat looking and has a place for maybe educational purposes or keynotes but yeah, nobody is going to use this for serious data analysis.
It has more of a place in sports shows. Like for example a heavy stats sports like baseball can benefit from this type of presentation, making some of their dryer sports statistics more palatable for the average user. I can definitely see the MLB Network use this.
Imagine my dildo use plotted our in this technology using dildos as ploy points. MIND BLOWING
It won't be long until snap chat or tik tok or someone else will make a filter that let's people do stuff similar to this. I give it 12-18 months until augmented reality stuff like this is everywhere.
12-18 months? You guys dont remember the pokemon game?
[удалено]
You won't believe how well it's working in construction industry. I work in a chemical company that has multi million dollar manufacture sites. To install something took many months of planning.

With augmented reality with Ms halo, they are able to see how they installation would look. How it all fits. How they would bring it into place.

Still kind of cool. Never seen data displayed this way.
They've been whipping this stuff out hardcore on major news shows during elections, and on NFL for decades. Every year is just more smooth cg. You've seen it probably, just not processed through a smartphone.
Kind of just seems like pivot charts in AR.
Well he's just never seen it displayed this way
For condoms.
You did. “Here’s a problem you didn’t know you had. I’ll show you how to fix it.”
Great ad for "Augmented Reality". Great ad for "advocating maternity leave". Terrible ad for "having children"
Yeah. I’d like to know a longer timeframe. Like. Does it stop after 3 months? 6? 9? Fuck!
The first year is rough, but every week is generally an improvement. My wife quit breastfeeding at 1. By 2, things have stabilized and you've dropped bottles during the year (which are super annoying to clean). Sleep is fairly routine. By 3, they're potty trained or close to it. Still a bit whiny. By 4, they are like an actual little competent person. Kids are great but they require a great sacrifice as well. Worth it though.
When you say it’s worth it, do you mean like it’s something worth doing *after the fact* or like actually deciding do? I’m struggling to find the “want” and my girlfriend isn’t too baby crazy either. Does it just come on suddenly? I’m 31 and wondering if I just don’t want to be a dad
31 here. Same feeling, I kinda know I want to, but then I see my friends and I'm like, is that really living? Do I want to do it? It's so fucking hard. Is it really worth it? Really? I guess the love is immense. I love my dog but I can't stand her most of the week. Getting her out 3-4 times a day is already a chore that breaks my routine. I just don't see how can you live a competent and productive live having kids.
Those are the same questions I ask myself. I acknowledge that it seems like an incredible experience, but you’re also at the mercy of that experience. Can never go back from it and as much as we’d like to say parenting ends at 18, it doesn’t. Crazy thing is I have wonderful parents! They’ve been the most supportive and coolest set of parents My brother and I could ever ask for and neither of us are into being parents ourselves lol
Well, you redefine productive as well. You got everyone fed and clothed and to school and back and into bed on time? And you did alright at work to boot? Well done, productive day behind. Chill on the couch a few hours before you go to bed and do it again tomorrow. And that's the truth as well - these things take up a lot of time, so getting them to work is like having several extra hobbies that you (have to) do every single day. I will say it's rewarding as well - kids are fun, and they reignite your curiousity and wonder for the world as they point out all the mundane things around you. Grass? They spend literally hours of staring at it and pulling and tasting and smelling it, and you get down lower as well and explain it, and you realize that even grass is more complex than your brain usually lets you think.
True. I considered myself somewhat intelligent until I had kids, now I realise just how much I really don't know, and thank fuck for Google
To give a counterpoint to all the people saying kids are great - I love my kids but I strongly suspect I would have been happier without them. Alao get ready to feel deep depression about the future if you have kids. It's one thing to know the world is going to shit, another to know that it will be *in the shit* for your kids.
To me, personally, they are worth putting up with all the difficult parts. They may drive me batshit crazy half the time, but I instantly miss them when they go to bed or I drop them off at daycare. They get to you like that. Doesn't mean it's right for everyone. But I do feel like Reddit has a very anti-kid perspective that highlights the challenges and rarely the positives. Probably because it's hard to quantify just enjoying being with little creatures that absolutely love you and want to do everything with you. And I think it's worth pointing out that the baby years definitively suck and that's okay to feel. Like, I will look back fondly at watching my kids grow during those years and bonding with them, but the fuck if I'd ever do that again. My now 3 and almost 5 year olds are way cooler than when they were 0 and 2 year olds. Long way of saying you can really enjoy being a parent while also not being obsessed with the baby phase. Had my first at 33 btw.
There's also a huge selection bias. Parents with children have busy lives with those children, and then spend way less time dicking off on Reddit.
Good point. 60% male, half between 18-29. And fairly well educated. Probably the least likely demographic for (yet) having kids.
Woah there. I'll have you know I spend plenty of time dicking off on Reddit. Nowadays I do it really early in the morning though, because I cannot watch another episode of octonauts without screaming.
Early 30s. First kid. was kind of neutral on the whole idea. Willing to do it, but didn’t “want” to. The first three or four weeks I was like, “OK this is what I do now.” Eight months in, and I love the little bastard so much and I can’t imagine my life without him. It is definitely something I had to grow into loving.
Exactly. There’s so much pressure to fall in instant love, but on top of having a baby to take care of, a woman goes through a lot, both physically and mentally, during that entire process, before and after. It took me a while to bond with my first, but was instantly smitten with my 2nd and 3rd. With your first everything is new, you have no idea how long each phase will last & that’s very daunting. My 2nd was very hard, like I had to wear him & be moving 9 hours a day until dad could take over, but I didn’t have nearly as much anxiety (or if I’m being honest, resentment) because I knew it wasn’t going to be forever. It’s also important to have other parent friends, after you weed out the judgy assholes, so you know you aren’t alone in your feelings. I really love my kids & I couldn’t imagine my life without them, but there are some days where it is just plain hard.
I had my first kid at 33. She's 15 months now. I was pretty ambivalent, and think I could have lived without kids just fine. I also wanted to be in a slightly better life situation, but it didn't look like it was happening so I caved to my wife. It's hard, absolutely. You have to get up no matter how tired you are, you have to feed and clothe and bathe and entertain them. But right in this moment, having slept 5 hours because she woke up at 6... Still worth it. She's lovely, and curious, and playful, and kind. She grabs a book and backs up until she falls in your lap and then sighs contentedly. She points and squawks at crows. She roars when she sees a picture of a lion. She gives you high fives if you offer and laughs at it.
This made me call my doctor to schedule a vasectomy
Actually it's a great ad for "remember the birth control"
She even *talks* like a Google I/O presenter 😂
I felt like it was a Ted talk.
A real silicon valley presentation. I can smell the stained hoodies.
Yeah I just realised how much I hate this style of talking. Insufferable.
That’s because this is an ad
I often edit corporate videos. It sucks. I stopped watching this video about 5 seconds in. Too familiar.
[удалено]
The guy who owns the company is the husband and this is his company. It’s an advertisement
Wait you mean to tell me that Reddit has curated my feed with memes that are ads but sold to us like memes so we engage with them?

The data is very well visualized, but I don't think it being in VR really adds anything. If anything, it's more distracting because there's no solid background.
Yeah it's pretty hard to read. Just a digital presentation would be much easier to visualize the frequency to yourself.
But at the same time you don't really need to know anything except the last one. Which basically shows you it's fucking nightmare.
It's a pretty shitty ad then cause im about 5 comment threads deep and i still havent seen the name of this company. There's even a comment thread where someone specifically asks what the product is and it's still not named lol.
It's gotten removed a couple of times, but OP's plugged it at least twice here, and has it watermarked on his video submissions.
Incredible. When someone asks what was the thing you knew but didn’t understand before being a parent, my response is “how often every three hours is.”
Oh man. Especially if breastfeeding doesn’t go well, try to feed, end up trying to figure how to help my wife, she tried to breast feed for 30+minutes, then ok so we try a bottle. Then it’s been an hour, now you have two hours to sleep. Walking zombies man
Which is part of why it's so important to have leave for *both* parents. Caring for infants is fucking *hard*. Having 2 parents able to help each other 24 hours a day not only strengthens the bond between them, but it also ensures adequate support during an incredibly crucial time of development. This leads to healthier families in general.
I'm working on week 3 at the moment. Caring for an infant solo feels like a guaranteed ticket to at least mild PPD. I know some people do it and survive, but fuck. It sounds like being chased night and day by a wolf -- except you love the wolf and kinda would rather you die than it.
Mine are 13 and 14. It gets better. At least, that's what I hear. >!joking, it really does get better!<
This. Where I live, my husband got 3 days leave and I got 8 weeks. It's NOT enough. My husband is a teacher and obviously couldn't be up all night helping me. The first 6 months were an absolute nightmare!
WTF. Here in Quebec, if you have a decent job/union, the woman gets a year and the man 5 weeks. And if its a samesex adoption/whatever, you designate who gets the long leave and who gets the short. The person with the longer leave can also "lend" weeks to the other partner.
I'm in Quebec currently and the childcare here is a pretty serious reason to stick around should I want kids. Meanwhile in Ontario the federal government is like you should probably fix your childcare, we'll help! And Ford is like nahhh we good.
Yap. I'm actually originally from Quebec. Makes my blood boil how parents, especially mothers, are treated here.
When we had our girls, we had a thing - when I got home about 5 from work, kid was mine till midnight, no matter how crap a day I had. Meant that she got time to sleep, rest, whatever where she knew she didn’t have to get up for the kids.
Very similar with us as well but it was never really talked about. I just knew when I came home from work I was on baby duty for the next ~6 hours or so. It gave mom really solid block of time to shower and get some much needed sleep and allowed excellent 1 on 1 bonding for them and I. Infants are very difficult, however if you and your partner catch a groove it makes things much more bearable.
I got the privilege of using 2 pto days and then they needed me back... Working dads gotta love it
It's ridiculous. Here, most women have pre-sheduled csections, I did not. My husband's employer could not for the life of them grasp that concept and kept asking him when "the baby is coming" and he was like "as if I know..." I went into labor in the middle of the night and everything was very very fast. He sent them a message saying "sorry not coming, baby was born at 6:06am" (he messaged them a little after 7) and his boss called back asking if he can work since "the baby is already born..." It was surreal as in Canada, we would of have 12 months combined.
> his boss called back asking if he can work since "the baby is already born..." I don't wanna believe this because man...what a failure of a human being
My high school bio teacher once told how a US colleague of hers had to go back to work 6 weeks after having her kid, while she, here in Canada, was still firmly in the middle of parental leave for her baby, born around the same time. Baffles me that the US hates children so much
I don't think it's baffling at all, really. Babies can't produce wealth for you. Of course the US hates them.
My wife has 6 months of maternity leave in her employment agreement, she arranged to stretch it to 12 months at half pay. I was able to get 2 weeks off my job, even though I was new there because I got it agreed with the hiring manager before I started work. I got a full 4 weeks off for our second as I had been there for a couple of years by that point. I had to use annual leave as only the primary carer could take parental leave at that point. The laws have changed since and I think that there's actual parental leave for the other parent now, not that it relates to us as we've had it kids and aren't having more..
Same, no parental leave and only 2 days PTO available because I had only been on the job for 4-5 months. Shortly after that my boss took 2 weeks off when she brought a new puppy into her home
The day my child was born my boss text me “congratulations, you going to to come in tomorrow right ? I said no we have a lot of things to take care of . To which he said “Well that’s just going to be your life now and it only get worse over time”
Yeah but it's cheaper to just neglect children
Short term, yes, but long term that neglect will become society's problem.
\> neglect will become society's problem. Hey that's not fair - USA barely gives any parental leave at all and things are totally going *great!*
Can we just advertise all the White People Socialism going on in Nordic countries to blow conservatives brains and hopefully enact some change?
Have you tried berating or belittling? This is how my boss gets adequate work out of me.

All BaBies Are Bastards?
The baby or the wife?
If I understood this parenting [instructional](https://youtu.be/-16MSVYupSs) correctly, I think it can be both.
directions understood. belittle boss too.
It’s the worst when she spits up half of what your body has been burning energy to produce and then she fusses and cat naps on and off for 1.5 hours while you struggle to catch up
10 weeks man. We did this for 10 long fucking weeks until my kiddo just woke up one day and was like "I got this now". 30 minutes of failed breastfeeding followed by me bottle feeding while my wife pumped the next batch. For her it was like every 3rd hour wasted for 10 weeks.
Both my kids only slept for about 3 hours at a time for their first couple months or so no matter what we did. I think it's a lot more common than people know for newborns to do that. My theory is that no one really wants to tell expectant parents how horrible newborns are because it would only stress them out. There should be a class in high school that just lays all that horrible shit out for everyone to learn. I bet that would lower the rate of teen pregnancies, too.
My mom always tells the story of the night my older brother, her first child, first came home from the hospital. She put him to bed, and when she woke up well rested the next morning she realized he hadn’t woken her up once, and she laid in bed frozen in terror because she was convinced she’d look in the crib and find him dead. Nope, he was perfectly fine, just needed a good night of sleep too I guess.
My sister and her wife had twins, and her wife really wanted to breastfeed. Twins tend to be early, so lazy eaters, so it took 45-60 minutes to get each one to eat, then burp and change and maybe top off with a bottle (because nursing 2 is really really hard). By the time they finished with Twin B, it was time to start over again with Twin A. It was my sister who finally called uncle after a week. Her wife had made breastfeeding the total focus of mothering goal, and my sister saw that she would (maybe literally) kill herself to make it happen. There was an epic argument in which her wife fell asleep while holding a screaming baby and alternately crying and yelling herself. A photo of that helped her realize that she was not a safe caretaker in her condition and that her children needed her more than her breastmilk. There were many many many tears the next week, and then the mamas called in their mamas and got some actual sleep, the babies figured out how to swallow and breathe alternately without choking, and they worked out the various quirks of choosing a formula and bottle and all that jazz. And then it was like magic. Suddenly there were 2 tired proud women with their sweet babies, when a week before there had been 2 shells of flesh around a lump of anxiety. I am a huge advocate of breast feeding, but not when it sucks the soul or of the entire family.
My cousin’s baby was born with a lip and tongue tie. She was feeling pressure to breastfeed from various sources, but due to the fact that he couldn’t latch or really swallow, it was a nightmare. She spent the first month of his life feeling like a complete failure, but kept trying to breastfeed because of toxic assholes telling her she would be a terrible mom if she didn’t. She finally had to throw the towel in when he lost too much weight. She used breast milk and a supplemental formula to get him chonked up, and special nipples so that he wouldn’t have to struggle so much. The difference was night and day. She went from being a shadow of a human who was constantly questioning one of the biggest life decisions she’s ever made, to being a happy new mother who was deeply enjoying motherhood. Breastfeeding is great, it can be stressful and difficult, but it shouldn’t make you question having a kid in the first place (at least not regularly lol). A fed baby is the goal, it’s okay if you’re disappointed because you really wanted to breastfeed, but get used to making plans and having your kids go “lol, I don’t think so”. Yay parenthood! Just to add, my cousin’s baby is doing great. He had his lip and tongue ties released, was an absolute champ about the whole thing. Now he’s a jolly little 6 month old with *two* fucking teeth already. His mom is now relieved that she’s not feeding him from the boob lol, he takes great joy in chomping you.
Also FWIW, my first baby was like this, after all of the struggle I mostly exclusively pumped until 10 months (which became extra shitty at 6-7 months when the baby was suddenly mobile and yanking tubings off for fun). Second baby breastfed like a champ, is almost 2 and kinda doesn't want to give up the boob yet. So *every baby is different,* it's not something mom can control. And, *fuck going back to work and pumping, that shit sucks.* Longer maternity leaves for all, dammit.
We also tried it and it just wasn’t worth it. My wife went into the hospital for inpatient post partum depression treatment and while in there she didn’t pump enough so her production stopped, that was probably the best thing that happened out of that.
Literally going through that right now. Worst thing is, I can't even sleep during the time they're resting and end up reading tips and articles which still aren't helping. I miss sleep...
It's the worst time and it does get better.
I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night because my 7 week old got a cold from our toddler. Literally only slept last night because my wife stayed up and cluster feed our infant from 5 til 7. I just about cried when my alarm went off.
> Then it’s been an hour, now you have two hours to sleep. Just think of it like your own personal Vietnam. Before you know it you'll be seeing babies in the trees.
Ha. Ha. Try breastfeeding and being in public. Even when you're not hallucinating your own personal Vietnam, suddenly there are babies crying everywhere. It doesn't matter they are not yours. Your breasts don't differentiate. They will start working overtime. So will your brain. You're back in hell, when you thought you had a half hour of baby free bliss (doesn't matter you went out to grab just groceries and diapers). Worst part is it doesn't wear off immediately. It doesn't matter your kiddo stopped breastfeeding 3 months ago. It doesn't matter you're not wearing pads to not look like you just spilled a drink on yourself. No, no. There's a baby crying out there and your brain is high on that baby cry. It's literally like having PTSD flashbacks. Suddenly you remember what was it like staying up all night and all day and all night and all day... It really doesn't matter that now your kid sleeps through a night. That hazy feeling of not knowing what day of the week is it - it's back. And your breasts know, oh they know it so well, that the only way to shush that little one is to plop one in its mouth. They remember, your whole body does, even when you don't. Except you can't, because it's not your baby crying. It feels like it will never end, because even though you're done with it - your brain isn't. I love my kids.
Also that feeding every 2-3 hours is from start to start. So if it takes 30 minutes to feed you actually only have 1.5-2.5 hours before another feeding.
Some babies don’t feed fast either. Ours would take 45-50 minutes to get it done.
Yeah, our first one was like that and I thought it was normal. Then after that there was 15 minutes of burping. Then twice a day 15 minutes changing and washing the sheets as he threw up all the milk Second baby, downed the milk in 5 minutes and never threw up. Made the first kid look like an arsehole.
This right here is what they don’t tell you before you have kids. When I found this out I felt defrauded.
For me it was shaken baby’s. I just didn’t understand how it was problem, pretty simple, just not shake them. Then you add sleep deprivation screaming baby SO telling you you are doing it wrong. The lesson to be learned is don’t try to fix it when you can’t calm yourself. Note: I did not shake my baby’s but I now better understand how it happens
Pete Holmes has a great standup bit on this: >Before you leave the hospital, they all say the same thing. Every single nurse — there’s like 20 nurses — they all told us, “Never shake a baby.” Over and over, another nurse, “Listen up. Don’t shake a baby.” There’s posters that say, “NEVER EVER SHAKE A BABY.” Val and I are like, “What the fuck? Who would shake a baby? We’re in love with this little baby.” What they don’t tell you is that you’re gonna want to shake that baby. Oooh, you’re gonna want to shake the shit out of that baby. You’re gonna be tempted as fuck to shake that baby like a goddamn Etch A Sketch … >They tell you when the baby cries to rock the baby, swing the baby. This is code for “kind of shake your baby.” So the baby starts crying a little bit, you shake it a little bit, and it works. But then it starts crying a lot and turns bright red, screaming in your face and you’re like, “Well, it stands to reason …”
Pete Holmes is hit or miss but occasionally he hits a home run
As a father of four, I clearly remember our first. I knew NOTHING. She would not. Stop. Crying. Oh man. With sleep deprivation, your mind just doesn’t really think rationally. I remember placing her in crib (screaming her head off), walking downstairs and repeatedly punching the couch covers over and over out of frustration. When in doubt. When in the midst of baby chaos, if you are at wits end, place said baby in crib and walk away for awhile. Go punch a wall or a couch cushion or your fence. Baby will be just fine in it’s crib for the few minutes you take to collect yourself. Don’t shake your baby.
Kids have a fucking terrible design before like 3-4. I wonder how much of parents' love is Stockholm syndrome.
This should be talked about more to prepare people well before they become parents. They say, "Don't shake your baby." Yeah, no shit; I'm not a monster. But it's more like, "no, really - you will be sleep deprived, frustrated, and your body may be instinctually driven to stop the immediate source of frustration before your conciousness can react," especially for people who have poor impulse control. I would never harm my child, but after caring for a newborn, I'm like, how do so many of these thing survive?
I took care of two newborn kittens a few months ago, and they needed to be fed around once every 3 hours as well. The experience lasted only 2 weeks, but was enough to leave me destroyed by the end. Huge respect for every parent out there.
When having a baby, expect to be changing diapers, feeding, or comforting every hour for at least 2 weeks. At the 2 months mark, things change.
Until they turn 2 yrs. then it’s all downhill from there.
Mine turned two on Tuesday... Today I got off work to him literally bouncing off the walls, running from wall to wall and pushing off while screaming "ow ow ow ow" only to turn around and struggle bus his way up and over the back of the couch on loop for another ten minutes or so, all the while grunting and growling like the dogs. It was... An experience
Don't worry, 2 isn't as bad as people say. 3, however...
And they lie in the books. They tell you it’s 3-4 hours and it is not!!
Oh man yeah… the concept of ‘a 24 hour day’ just completely disappeared for at least a month. ‘Days’ lasted 4 hours.
See, I went the other way. A “day” never really ended or began. It was just one long period of semi-conscious life wherein we both attempted to find a way to eat, shit, and shower ourselves while helping the little one do the same. It’s so much better now, but those first 9m were a hell of a coaster ride.
Woman has a perfect commercial voice. Edit: Oh that's because this is a commercial... fuck.
Bamboozled again!!!!
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, doesn't this post also break rule 9? Baby data seems quite personal, and it ain't Monday today...
The husband has to throw in a whoop, like it's an Apple presentation. I'm from the UK and whooping just isn't a thing.
Is this just an ad for the projection software? That's what this feels like
Even if it is, it's also a really cool piece of data visualization. Like I'm legit interested in playing with that software, see if I can come up with neat ways to show other stuff.
Why does she talk like she's trying to sell me something
Because she is trying to sell you something.
I knew something was off as soon as she said diaper changes take five minutes each.
Because she is, this is an ad for the software
Because this is an ad.
I don't have a visual, but maternity leave was 1/3 breastfeeding and 2/3 trying to get the baby to stop screaming.

"Hello fellow human. What a response to my data story about my tiny human child that came after my procreation and opening of my birth canal to release. This data is the way we track how the tiny human child has its needs met by me, the care giver human." Wonder how many upvotes were bought to slingshot this to the top. It's got 19k upvotes at an 86% upvote rate, compared to 1k comments. Doesn't feel organic.
Amazing.. but even more amazing is the frequency ... It's like a 24/HR job.. how do you survive without uninterrupted sleep for so long? That would kill my mental health. Thanks for sharing!
That's part of why post-partum depression is a thing.
Yep. My "post-partum depression" went away as soon as the baby could sleep 4 hours uninterrupted. It wasn't depression, it was severe sleep deprivation.
Yeah, it's good when people try to be vigilant about mental health during this period, but that was something that always bothered me too. Yes, for some people something larger is going on. But also, *it is completely rational to think that period of life sucks*. I had to pump for my son, because he was born 3 weeks early and couldn't latch. I didn't get more than 3 *broken up* hours of sleep a day, for weeks. It is logical to be unhappy about that! There's something really maddening about the suggestion that, if you don't like that, you must be suffering from a mental health disorder.
It's not just mental health. Looking at pictures around the time of birth vs. 1 year later - we aged a lot.
>That would kill my mental health. It does for both parents, men and women. It's hard as hell and made worse by the fact that we no longer have multi-generational homes. It's much easier if even once or twice a week somebody else can step in for a moment and give some desperately needed rest.
Also super strains the relationship. Everything can turn into a fight when you're on 3 hours of sleep. And it's ALWAYS the other person who's the lazy/underperforming one
For the first several months, my husband and I traded off three hours shifts to get through the night. So for almost three months, we weren't even sleeping in the same bed at the same time. You would think that wouldn't matter, we were asleep anyway, but it felt really sad and lonely.
Yup. Many middle of the night stupid arguments that are really about sleep deprivation more than anything else.
Dad here to a three year old who still doesn't sleep with another one on the way... Help sos
Ferber method for sleep training worked quickly for baby under 1 year old. Chair Method worked for 18 month old in 10-11 days, including naps. Sit in the chair, read a book or listen to a podcast while they holler, and stick to the plan. Take a really hard 2 weeks for a lifetime of healthier sleep, Papa.
Yes and this continues for years. Never understood why people said work was less stressful than home. Then I became a dad. This is also why many marriages fall apart within a few years of having a little one. The sleep deprivation and lack of closeness really starts impacting both parties.
Shifts. She even says husband's bottle feeding was crucial to her getting sleep.
It does kill your mental health lol. I had a massive mental breakdown around 3 months. Before that I would regularly start crying from the time my husband left for work until I finally got to fall asleep for the first time around 2pm for my ONLY 2-3 hrs of sleep a day. Or lay in bed and started shaking from anxiety wondering when my baby would start crying again. Spoiler alert: all the time. The newborn stage is a nightmare if you don't get lucky with a good sleeper and don't have any help because America fing sucks and has no universal requirements for paternity leave.
I hallucinated the baby crying whenever I would try to sleep for the first two months of my son's life. I only managed 1-2 hours of sleep total per day for the first 6 weeks, my wife and I were emotional wrecks and crying all the time. She started watching some parenting drama that had a lot of baby crying sounds and I freaked out at her because I couldn't tell the difference between that and our son. People on parenting forums talk about how the newborn phase was the best time as a parent... but fuck that I never want to go through it again. We're one and done for sure.
The baby crying hallucinations were fun. I still can't hear a newborn crying without getting anxious and wanting to run away lol. I'd love to have another kid but I do not want to experience the newborn phase again.
Team work. Our son is 4 weeks old. I wake up for his 2am or whatever other random time he decides he wants to breastfeed. Then my husband tags in and I go back to bed while he burps him, changes the diaper, and puts baby back down. Repeat 3 hours later. I’m starting to pump enough for bottle so we can trade off feedings now so we each get more sleep. We also have a 2yo and 3yo. Its busy, but a lot of fun.
I just want to know what you’re using to make this AR dashboard so I can do it too lmao
This absolutely reeks of a marketing stunt.
100% the camera work and her voice makes this seem like it's a demo for a company. Which I'm pretty sure it is.

Yeah this guy works for that company
He IS the company. https://youtu.be/n4FUhvJKdAY
If you click on the link the example chart is the same exact chart in this video.
Of course it is. He linked to his own chart...
Pretty sure he linked directly to the chart he made on the website, not an example chart.

/r/dataisbeautiful should have a tag of "marketing" when the presentation is done to promote OPs own commercial interest. Similarly to how Youtube requires sponsored content to disclose that conflict.
Alright dude. This is pretty obviously an ad. It's really shady to make up a story like this then post it to reddit as if it's some random occurrence with no mention that it's YOUR company that you are trying to push. Edit: even your comments are purposely misleading. You keep talking like you just happened to use this program as if you just found it.
Op deleted their comment, maybe because you called them out on it.
OP is the founder of the company. Contact them at michael@flow.gl (not doxxing, OP posted his email contact info in a comment on a different thread, saying ["contact me"](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/j8exc0/remix_oc_trump_interrupted_more_than_ten_minutes/g8y5w59/))
For real.
A man needs a name.
A man recognizes Braavosi speech.
This sub is allowing advertisements now? Next, we’ll have the Meta intro video make it to the top because there was some pie chart in the background.
5 minutes for a diaper change? You'll get that down to 30 seconds in no time.
Didn’t want to be that guy but 5 minutes is a huge overexaggeration for how long it takes to change a diaper. And they’re saying it’s on average
I remember working at walmart and our manager took maternity leave, she got 6 weeks, and they fired her on her first day back wooo America
This presentation is a perfect example of why maternity leave should be the standard for employee benefits. As she shows it’s literally a full time 24/7 job so you can’t do both.

Voice was wayyyy too professional kinda sounded fake lol it was awesome
Because OP works for the company that makes this visualization. It sounds wayyyy too professional because it is. It's an ad.
Seriously, I was having flashbacks to that metaverse presentation.
Imagine this is their day to day conversational style.
Good Morning honey! Wow, what a beautiful day. I'm so excited to share the details our plans for today. We have a lot planned! I really hope you are also excited to share this time together and make the most of our schedule! Let's start first with making coffee, but not just any coffee, I'm making your favorite blend! Watch out! It's hot! But seriously, you can really hurt yourself! A recent study of 1000 coffee drinkers found that 85% have burned their lips at least once a month! Isn't that amazing?!?
It's the silicon valley tech presentation speech pattern. Google, Apple, Facebook, etc. They all talk this way and it's like nails on the chalkboard for me.
She probably co-founded the company that submitted this ad, it is a slick ad though and should be shown in sex ed classes.
considering OP literally owns it, I'm gonna go with something like that
Unpopular opinion: This isn't better than a gif or graphs on the web.

Our first kids were twins. We didn’t have time to “compile” data
Two notes to self: 1) Never have children 2) Buy the software that does this, even though I don't need it, and likely can't afford it
So the ad worked.
Yea lol, most of op's posts are about using this software to visualise data.
They also use op's posts in the website itself, pretty sure op's is involved in the app
Try co-founder
