Ok. You previously stated [1] that you "work in finance" and then described it in the same comment as "People hate finance because at the core it's sales and you make your keep by being predatory since everyone does it."

Perhaps you should have chosen not to work in finance then? Doesn't that industry quite literally "treat human beings like money machines"? Does this judgement not apply to you too?

This is why I talk to myself sometimes, explaining the problem as if I'm showing it to someone else. That forces me to order the disparate bits of information around the problem into a coherent order (rather than bouncing between points as my though processes often do) which can reveal the presence of a missing link that give me an obvious clue to the solution (or at least the next steps towards one). Some might call the jumping mind a problem to be reorganised, bit it often enough leads to random useful "ooh, that's a good idea..." moments that it is a pattern I feel worth not fighting against more generally than when I have a specific problem it is not helping with.

Interesting. So you projected yourself onto someone else's comment, which allowed you to evaluate it strictly and narrowly against your own experiences and programming. You constructed an idealized hypothetical scenario whose wrongness you could specify ("out of the blue" and "improbable"), which thus provides a judgement you can defend somewhat logically. But then you applied that judgement to a completely dissimilar and unrelated comment, made by another person who may or may not resemble you in any way. Your cognitive dissonance was so powerful that it convinced you that marcus_holmes was "painting all Americans with one brush". Not just a personal and anecdotal sample, as stated clearly in his comment, but all Americans.

I hope you're at least willing to submit your own speech to the same sort of language-policing. A brief look at your comment history shows that you paint with a similarly broad brush at times:

> In fact, a great part of [Christianity in the US] runs counter to the actual teachings of Christ.

> It's very weird to me that a society [the U.S] that currently has, for example, a huge anti-gun movement, based on ideas like "every child deserves to grow up in a safe community", would at the same time treat the deaths of 10,000 people as a rounding error. But that's literally how we are.

I've been using the paid option for a long time and I'm considering canceling it because the android app is crap. Worked fine in the beginning but now it frequently takes forever to load, sometimes requires a restart, and sometimes when trying to play songs, it takes a minute or two until it actually starts the song. This usually happens only when I'm using it after I've used other apps in between but I see no reason why it would happen. Not one single other app on my phone does this.

It also very often does this if connection is bad which is super weird considering all the songs are supposed to be downloaded for offline consumption.
Do you have a source on that? The wording on that is odd, which makes me want to look into it. It may be my mistake, but I don't recall corporate taxes often called "income taxes" and it's odd how its referred to as they "reserved" it, instead of quote what was paid.

It almost sounds like they are referring to taxes withheld from paychecks for employees, which is definitely not the same as what a company pays in corporate taxes in its profit.

Really curious, what is/was your active user count? Our problem is that we are a freemium product with 150k+ registered users, and maybe 60k active (and a fraction of that paying), of which we only have ~5k in an active campaign pipeline at a given time. So to be able to use Intercom we’d have to create a job to continuously archive a large portion every day to not have our bills skyrocket to bankrupt land (we’re not VC funded).

In such an ideal world, the neighbors could then charge the Airbnb-owner for the value he derives from their presence making the AirBnb a desirable option (after all, AirBnB markets its services to people who want to "live like locals), and for any negative externalities imposed upon them by the AirBnb, such as increased traffic, liability risks, etc.

> The zoning system would work a lot better if Airbnb did not literally break the law

The zoning system was completely broken long before AirBnB showed up. Yes, Airbnb does exacerbate the already existing issues with zoning laws...but that's not an argument for eliminating Airbnb, it's an argument for eliminating or changing zoning laws.
Awful title, suggesting UBI prevented people from finding jobs. Article clearly states that it didn’t: people in treatment group are as likely to get job as those in control group.

The same thing could happen with cash if the system was set up a little bit differently.
Ballpark state income tax at 6.5% of $250K * 25K = $406M/yr, with city tax on top.

Ballpark property tax at $12K * 25K = $300M/yr

Ballpark state sales tax at 4% of $50K in spending * 25K = $50M/yr

Naturally, some of the property tax is displacing existing property tax payers and some of the income tax will be lost to other employers moving out of NYC area, but it seem quite reasonable to be OoM $500M per year at scale.
This seems like a solution without much of a problem.

You get married.

The agreement between you and your significant other is that both parties will be faithful and to perform various duties within the relationship. Also, if the marriage is ended, both parties leave with their individual things/pay/etc.

You decide to play the field. Your significant other decides to leave you and you are now responsible for the tasks/financials that your significant other previously assisted with.

In agreements, you can't pick and choose the terms of the agreement you're willing to subject yourself to once they're settled (beyond renegotiating). In the Spotify case, they literally get nothing out of the arrangement if someone blocks their ads on the free tier whereas the person blocking said ads would be of the belief they're owed limitless listening to free music? That's pretty comical.

As someone who has flopped between technical and non-technical roles (program operations, data analyst, compensation manager, business operations) some obvious advice is to highlight the skills that are able to be used in multiple roles. SQL translated across many of my roles; knowing how to build a program timeline with clear deliverables was also essential.

What's harder for a "non-technical" role is there's not a specific, easily graded test. When someone is shite at code, you can literally count the errors and see if it doesn't run. If someone is bad at operations, that's more something you discover in the heat of the moment.

This matters because for non-technical roles, the roles lean more on experience or time spent doing a very specific task. I hired people on my team as a compensation manager and did just that - I was trying to guarantee someone would be able to do the work by requiring that they had done it before. We had room for "potential" but I wanted someone to say "I've done this before" because otherwise, it was my neck on the line.

So, knowing this, target where you want to go - say a business analyst wants to become a program manager - look at what experience you need and build tasks into your role that you can speak to in the interviews.

Experience in job searchers: my most difficult transition was program operations to data analyst. I had experience with HTML, CSS & Javascript - not really useful for analytics. Wanted to be more technical and less putting out fires, thought data analyst sounded interesting. So in my operations role, began using SQL and BigQuery to store and pull program outcome data. Used Tableau for visualizations, and taught myself AppScripts to automate certain GoogleSheet tasks. Excel was how I presented timelines (yay Gantt charts) and after 6-months I was able to pivot to a data analyst on an internal tools team.

Similar across tech & non-tech roles is you have to study to pass the tests. When I pivoted from data analyst (which focused on compensation tools/programs) to compensation manager, I had to learn how to handle not just the numbers but also: philosophy and offer negotiations; how to create plans and program timelines across many roles; how to build budgets, based on forecasted headcount; how to create performance plans that tie to compensation but foster growth cultures. Sounds super logical and mathematical, but it was 99% people skills. So I had to study that and be able to back up my answers concretely.

Where I find roles now is on AngelList - usually searching "operations" - or Google searching for my skillset helps. You can also go to LinkedIn and turn on "Actively Looking" which will increase the outreach from recruiters.

Also non-tech people in the Bay Area are very much hotly pursued and poached - unsure of you're location, but would suggest looking out here!

You're always cheerleading for the advertising industry, so I don't think anyone will be changing your mind soon.

That being said, it should be obvious even to you that the place where one invests one third of their day for years on end defines a large part of who that person is and how they behave during the other 2/3rds of the day.

I remember reading an article a few years ago where several senior ex-Facebook employees were horrified at what they did and were trying to protect their kids from the monster of online advertising. Funny how that becomes clearer once one's income doesn't depend on advertising any more.

Zoning is reactionary though and there is a relatively long delay from when a problem with zoning first occurs, to when it is reported, to when locals organize, to when it reaches municipal government, to when it finally gets passed. I know municipal governments have a lot on their plate, but it'd be nice if there was a mandatory review of zoning laws zone by zone to preemptively investigate if the laws are helping or if the laws are hurting.

There's nothing inherently wrong with advertising, and offering ads in exchange for free services is perfectly fair.

As far as "cheerleading for the ad industry", I also built an adblocker, spent 6 figures to test alternative payments, am part of every initiative to make ads better, and have spoken with senators to push for regulation. But you wouldn't know that with the quick character judgement that you seemed to make, which is ironically the actual subject of this thread.

I was working only 1 year at a startup in my life as an employee, and I got burned out after 1 year. Working at a big company is so much easier, as it has the network effect already.
UBI doesn't really make sense as a replacement to almost any traditional welfare programs for the simple reason that by limiting the money to only those who qualify for it, you can give more. Yet unfortunately UBI is often presented as an alternative that would supplant traditional welfare.
