I'm curious, what's your criteria for propaganda? Is it just content/viewpoints that you don't like? Likewise, for bots. Can link to some examples of bot-like behavior that's happening on reddit? Preferably provide hard evidence of some kind, like the ones done for this story: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/27/technology/so...

> So...what next? How do creators get paid?

A decade ago, I bought a used textbook on statistics, published in 1998. Highly recommended by many, written by a UCB Statistics professor (now deceased).

Total Book Price: US$ 3.94
Shipping: US$ 3.00

For just a smidge over $5 dollars, I got a world class textbook written by one of the best educators on the planet. In the era of coronavirus, I've finally sat down every night with it and have put in about 40 hours reading it (mostly doing the exercises), checking out some of the citations and references, making Anki cards, etc.

As best I can tell, creators get paid by putting in high quality work of relevance and lasting value. Your average Youtuber ain't it.

> Before it reaches my eyes/ears, it has been meticulously edited to remove anything the author / editor _thinks_ I won't be interested in.

Nearly every single technical book I have ever read has pages and pages of fluff to pad it out to some arbitrary length that the author or the publisher thinks is necessary to make it worth the price.

Something similar happens to YouTube videos once the creator stars making a living off them. They start making padding videos just to get something out for the week.
I've never had trouble with their returns. The most painful part has been waiting in line at the returns counter.
To be fair, a lot of problems came and come from 'let us store this stuff just in cases'. It also helps in some unforeseen cases, but in both scenarios you essentially end up in an unstructured unknown situation which is generally not what you want in IT, Business or as a person.
Obviously not answering for the OP, but: because sites disappear or change and also having a local database that does not depend on internet access is wonderful. (Zotero is also great in this regard).

Advertisements are little more than thinly veiled corporate propoganda, they are not an effective income generating solution unless you are the one controlling them like Google.

MVVM and Databinding for Unity3d
LoxodonFramework is a lightweight MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) framework. It is specially designed for Unity3D game development. It refers to the MVVM design of WPF and Android. It provides data binding and localization of views and view models , A simple service container, configuration file component, thread tool component, application context and player context, asynchronous thread and coroutine task components, and other basic components. It also provides a framework for UI views. All code is designed based on the idea of object-oriented and interface-oriented, and almost all functions can be customized. In addition, performance optimization has been performed in the data binding part. On the platform that supports JIT, the delegation method is used for binding. On the platforms that do not support JIT, reflection is used by default, but it can be optimized by injecting the delegate function!
> If I’ve gotten counterfeits they were certainly of the quality i was expecting from the brand name and I really don’t care

Except that the other end of that spectrum is kids toys with lead in them. Or, hell, adult toys with lead in them.

Point is you don’t really get to say “the harmless counterfeits are fine, just stop the harmful ones” when you don’t know which ones are harmful. The only way to avoid that ambiguity is to stop counterfeits as a whole. A total lack of regulation isn’t capitalism at full health, it’s poison, often quite literally!

I use the following.

Software Stack:

ScreenFlow for recording/editing. iMovie is garbage. ScreenFlow has a really robust set of keyboard shortcuts that makes editing easy. It's also very explicitly built for screencasts, exactly what it sounds like you want to accomplish. I tried starting with imovie to be cheap but the tool is just awful.

Google Slides (of all things) for generating very basic images/video thumbnails

OBS for any live streaming.

Physical Recording Tools:

- Blue Yeti mic (can be anything though)

- iphone XS Max + tripod + white wall (to record things that look more like talks - you probably don't need this)

Happy to answer any questions. Have been meaning to put together a basic how-to guide for a while. There are surprisingly few people talking about how to make great software screencasts.

Don't any of the major commercial open source vendors offer custom terms to give access to the commercial source? I'd imagine they'd contemplate it for big deals. Seems like one of the only ways to keep some of these sophisticated customers onboard.

Is reddit "intended" for cat pictures? It might be the reason that you joined, or the content that you liked, but the default subs[1] cover a wide range of topics, not just cat pictures and memes.

This is a damn good point.

Bankers are the first one that will eventually support UBI legislation in the US.

Because they understand that UBI will be a profit center for them without some sort of limitation on predatory pricing and lending.

1. The increase in demand will first short-circuit the supply of basic essentials.

2. Banks will be the first ones to step in the gap to finance companies working to meet UBI demand

3. Then eventually over time, banks will begin extending credit to overextended UBI-powered citizens. The citizen is the conduit for government-to-bank revenue exchange.
Nice work. These things, and also PAL and/or GAL chips are in a lot of older computers, and have to be cannibalized from another computer to replace. For the PAL/GAL chips, an automated "fuzzer" type rig to reverse engineer them would be nice to have.
Those are the oldest phones which still get new versions of iOS.

I run a small SaaS and am the only employee (I have plenty of industry advisors though).

We currently operate with less than 50 accounts in total. Word of mouth has led to discussions with a very large enterprise and the numbers being thrown around are staggering (for me anyway).

How would you tackle suddenly scaling from 50 to thousands of accounts? Would you even consider such an account given the circumstances? Has this happened to you?

I'm way out of my depth here so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes, but only if you add value. It is of course possible to borrow to invest in the future, and lose value, particularly given the time value of money.

Do you think this proposed investment is being made with conservative, reliable underwriting, such that we can be confident that it will deliver value?
We use similar setups but with ElasticSearch instead of an RDBMS and we use cluster connections to query against disparate environments at the same time. They are not allowed to communicate to each other, but a 'placeholder' or 'empty' cluster that is allowed to talk to the others can give you exactly what you want for analysis and auditing. Another big benefit is that environments and other 'boxing' formats are isolated and cannot influence another. Same with lifecycle management, they do their own hot/cold/archive/deletion.

We usually end up querying based on session signatures (which is something like user agent + JWT), on plain user ids or on trace ids. This gets you a pretty neat timeline with references for full records if you need to drill down on a specific event. Makes everything super fast and when you need more data or want to read PII you can drill down (depending on your access roles).
I'd argue a corollary would be to learn from Microsoft or Northrop Grumman, two engineering first companies that are still going strong.
Since the article is login-walled I can only generally comment. The hard part of competing against Google is they have seemingly infinite discretionary money and computing power to throw at a problem. Normal businesses have to be profitable to survive, but Google can subsidize loss leaders with their advertising/search profits and still win in the end because it all feeds into their data collection and strengthens their core business. Meanwhile competitors in this areas get squeezed out.

Take Google Flights for example. They purchased ITA and eventually closed external API access. The expensive computations are likely done via GCP for a cheaper rate. Travel sites pay billions of dollars to Google for ad rankings, yet Google can still promote their travel tools (search "Flights to San Francisco" to see a custom UI that links to Google Flights) in search results, and once you book a flight it creates a trip for you in Gmail.

See: https://www.pymnts.com/antitrust/2020/google-under-fire-alle...

Disclaimer: I do work for a competitor but this is just my own personal observation.

Maybe you could get clever with a service worker injected by an add-in. The worker context doesn’t have DOM access but maybe you could stream the DOM in chunks through postMessage and do some assembly in the worker. Though honestly that is a lot of hackery just to have it happen in the browser, but it does sound like an interesting experiment! Maybe I’ll try it out myself later..

>and workers seem happier than ever.

My entire cohort from when I arrived in late 2017 is gone from my home store, including people who were there before me. For sales and ops, at least, the wave that brought BB its renewed reputation ended around early 2019. A lot of the incentives disappeared, and pay just didn't keep in step with workload or need.

I invite anyone confused about how workers really feel to head over to the Best Buy subreddit. They got rocked, hard, by the shutdown policies, and I'm personally glad I was separated when I was.

What was your intent behind adopting the "Tweetdeck" style of UI for this presentation? Tweetdeck's intent is supposedly that you'd need to be monitoring multiple feeds efficiently (e.g. you are a social media manager with multiple accounts, or you need live-updating search queries to react to).

For Reddit though, most of the time subreddits aren't really meant to be consumed "live", or many-posts-at-once, which means that for me, this ultimately just ends up shrinking my Reddit browsing experience into a thin column surrounded by content I don't care about at the current moment, which goes against the "efficiency" that I imagine this design is intended for.

For folks who like this style of UI, what do you get out of it?

> I'll believe this when somebody buys a house with Bitcoin.

Regardless of whether centuries-old cultural and social infrastructure evolves to take advantage of this, the fact of the matter is that blockchains do actually enable this kind of electronic value transfer. And they do it in a way that results in a number of properties that are significantly different from our existing value transfer systems.

It remains to be seen how important these differences are and how much of an impact they will have on our society. Will it be huge like the crypto-maximalists preach? Or will it be a passing fad that is not much more than a blip? I don't know. But that doesn't change the fact that blockchains were a genuine technological advance that enabled something that we weren't previously able to do.

Turring test also requires adversarial set up - you are talking to two entities, you know one is human and one is a computer, and you ask questions until you feel satisfied you know which is which. Preferably also the questioner is sufficiently motivated.

Its a lot harder when you do a side by side comparison and you know at least 1 thing is a computer.

The 747 had certification issues in the US for passenger use, so that's the main reason they were replaced.

(One of the issues was high-voltage wiring passing through the center fuel tank, which caused 2 or 3 to explode.)

The other problem was that newer planes are more fuel-efficient, and the 747 had 4 engines to maintain. That was ok before ETOPS oceanic routes and during the transition, but most routes are ETOPS now.
The way that whole affair is reported infuriates me. HSBC followed unclear government guidance and advised their clients to do the things that the government said were low risk. That article talks about "money laundering crimes" but nothing HSBC did was ever shown to be criminal, nor should it have been. They moved money in a legal way for their clients, but people would rather blame bankers than drug dealers.

I'm with you, but also there isn't really another way. Digging yourself out of poverty is slow, tedious, unglamorous and full of pitfalls which send you back to square one. The alternative is to be content with being poor.

They go without their subscriptions for 4 years and they have their emergency fund. Moreover, after year 1, they can then start buying more of their things in bulk and save the 10% bulk discount on everyday essential items, which can probably give them another 20-30 dollars a month. And then you have to take that time you were spending watching netflix and invest it in learning skills so you can make more than minimum wage.

I struggle with the middle class version of this question all the time. My company pays overtime at about 30/hr after tax. Is it worth it to work on Saturdays or a couple 10-12 hour days through the week in order to collect the overtime? I'll be exhausted and only pick up an extra 150-300 a week. If I do it for a year I can earn an extra 10 grand or so a year and then put it in the stock market where it will pay me $200/year in dividends (and in 45 years I will have replaced my salary).

This is why Naval says you can't trade time for money and get rich the math doesn't work. But in the beginning you have to while you develop the skills and cash reserves so that you can take the risks which can help you build real wealth.

2. There are other, better signals for dedication.

SD cards were one of the few items where this happened with non-special SKUs. Off the top of my head, the only other product segment this happened with was cheapo TVs. Almost everything else, if there was a model ID mismatch, there was some indication that it was a "Best Buy-only" model (if only because of minor differences). The vast majority of products could be price matched with Amazon, and customers took advantage of it quite often.

If you really want to see this strategy in action, try shopping for mattresses.
We are now in 2020. From 325 to 425 it's about 30%, not 63%. The past increments are not that relevant for what's being discussed here.
