<p>Apparently Arun was at UChicago pursuing a PhD when he decided to start this restaurant. Doing a bit of math in my head, if I were to &quot;retire&quot; at the same age of 78, then I also would have run my business for 39 years after leaving UChicago. Freaky. </p><p>Although given the current direction of &quot;tech&quot;, there&#39;s no way I&#39;m waiting until 78 to retire. Sorry. No.</p>

<p>A reminder that obnoxious, blocking cookie consent banners are not required by law but are there because tech companies had a massive tantrum at being prevented from tracking the bejesus out of you by default.. They don&#39;t need to be annoying or intrusive, companies can absolutely choose not to track, to track less, or make the consent experience easier, they choose not to 💩💩💩</p>

<p>Nothing to make you marvel at the wonders of technology like a massive cookie consent dialog ON THE TELLY 🤡💩</p>

Irrespective of that, there is also an irony in the lack of understanding here.</p>
