That's a very quick diagnosis, that all their users just have a communication problem.

Calendly can be used to hold office-hours, and to allow users or customers an easy way to get face time with you.

Also, I have a lot of acquaintances that are always busy, and scheduling with them can often take several ping-pong hits. I like the idea of a software taking care that of that hassle for us.

I'd guess the cost of maintaining contracts to distribute licenses for games that publishers otherwise don't want to sell anymore.

Yeah, this one was heart-breaking. A lot of my friends started getting real leery of digital purchases after the Wii debacle. At least the X360/PS3/Vita/Wii/WiiU have been cracked wide-open and the modding community can keep them going at this point - we've still got that to hold onto. The PS4, on the other hand...

There is a national database of child porn content that most big companies that host video and photos use (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, et al). It allows them to filter the known content. I don’t know how fast that gets updated though. The larger issue is the new content. Facebook makes it very easy to take and share video, and makes producing and sharing this content easier.

Does anyone pay for these kind of sites? I just can’t imagine doing it. I already have streaming subscriptions I just cannot imagine paying for news. I know that is a problem for the internet and journalism in general but what person will buy a Reuters sub? I can maybe see a NY Times sub or WSJ for some people but it has to be the best of the best. And still I personally wouldn’t do it. I don’t need to know news. It’s likely the news will make me feel worse, as opposed to my streaming subscriptions which will make me feel better.

Government procurement projects, especially international ones, aren't a great way to compare things on merit.

Take Belgium: Boeing and Saab didn't even bid. Boeing hinted that the program wasn't truly a "level playing field" - and then there were leaks that suggested the Belgian military promised NATO they'd purchase the F-35 years earlier and set the procurement process up to ensure the F-35 would come out on top.

> I think a lot of people get wrapped around the axle of having the "right" $500 microphone whereas there are a ton of decent USB mics under $100

There are diminishing returns for sure. But something worth considering is anything priced over $200 is likely closer to "pro" than "sumer' and is priced accordingly. You don't need an SM7 if you're not making money with it... and it's priced for those folks.

It's actually remarkable how much better all-in-one USB mics have gotten in the last 5-ish years since everyone began streaming - a Blue Yeti has an integrated ADC/preamp, its own stand, and comes with a cable. A SM58 ($100) will require an XLR cable ($10-15), audio interface ($50-100), and mic stand ($10-20) to have the same experience. Granted, that 58 will outlive you and you can mic anything with it anywhere, the cable will probably last a long time and can be repaired by hand, and the cheapest USB audio interfaces have lower noise and better preamps than any USB mic. So you get what you pay for.

> Most stock is held by people worth less than $50m. All of those large pension funds and institutional investors invest on behalf of the "little guy" who are worth $10k-10m. That's a massive amount of wealth. If the super rich have to sell shares to afford their taxes, then these investors will buy. For example, no single individual holds more than 0.1% of Apple stock, while 15% is held by Vanguard and Blackrock alone.

Why would they buy?! You're saying it as if the market-wide sale of a share of every billionaire's stocks that year would just be absorbed by the market without any negative economic consequences (at best) or without a massive economic crash.

> Another example is McKenzie Scott selling billions in Amazon stock. There's no shortage of buyers for that.

That wouldn't be the case if every "McKenzie Scott" is selling billions worth of stocks simultaneously. There would certainly be a shortage of buyers.
> Work is not perfectly elastic but time is still by and large tradeable for money.

Specific results are tradeable for money. I get paid far too much for what I do most of the time, with small windows of specialized action that justifies the waste. It's sloth and inefficacy (due to an inability to measure efficacy) that makes it look like time for money, when it's largely an accounting trick that is more like a payment schedule than a time-for-money.
I'm not sure I agree. Ad-funded publishers will still get the scoop. While the lucky subscribers might get access to better news, the masses will be left with the dreadful reporting of the open websites.

Counter-Strike is the most played game in Steam as of the moment. There are a lot of players who played countless hours throughout their life. Even though there is much feedback from their players, they should filter those that are very important, like hacks and exploits. It's just appalling to think that the most played game in the source engine is the one that hasn't fixed this issue yet.

Ethereum has different client software, they must all use the same consensus rules: produce/gossip/accept transactions and blocks that follow a certain format and respect certain invariants. When that specification is updated, a hard-fork occurs. It's not a problem if all clients meet the new spec perfectly but sometimes bug happens and different clients disagree on what constitutes the canon chain. This is what happened here: the OpenEthereum client (11% of the network) has had a bug following the Berlin hard-fork (network upgrade). Nodes runnning this client are stalling at a certain block because they don't recognize the new "post-Berlin" blocks as legitimate because of a bug in the implementation.

It is dismissive to say that natives "miss the meaning". They do not. Pimp has multiple usages, as do a lot of words. It is very easy in English to create new nouns/verbs or new usages of existing ones and happens all the time.

I am victim of this myself. By all metrics, I am successful (great software engineer career, overcame obstacles to immigrate to US and move to Silicon Valley, at 34 I have a $3M liquid net worth thanks so savings and frugal living, ...).

Yet, a substantial amount of my peers are doing so much better than me. They all won the IPO lottery from multiple companies and are sitting on $20M+ in their mid-late 20s. Others have incredible executive careers at FAANG, with compensations of $3M+ a year.

I understand survivorship bias, lottery luck, ... but when 80% of your network is in that position and you clearly feel left behind, it’s hard to say that it was luck, luck shouldn’t be that common by definition.

For me, the solution will likely be to move out of this area and relocate to a more middle class place. When I meet all my friends for dinner and they all drive Teslas while I am on my Honda, it doesn’t feel right.

But the way the idea was pitched... they were right to be negative. Brian Armstrong was talking about using BTC to compete with Visa and Mastercard. Bitcoin hasn't done anything to impact CC fees. At this point, it's pretty clear Bitcoin isn't even used to trade for goods and services by the vast majority of people who own it.

Coinbase pivoted to being an exchange for crypto speculators, which is why it's worth billions. Something like BitPay continue to focus on being a crypto payment processor, which is why it's an also-ran, despite being even older than Coinbase.

If Brian had phrased the request as "Bitcoin will be digital gold" and people were dismissive, you'd be closer to say that people lacked vision. If the pitch were "Bitcoin will be an asset class that allows institutional investors to evade the regulations applied to traditional financial instruments in a time of unprecedented government money printing during a global pandemic that also drove huge numbers of retail investors into the space," you'd be right (and also from the future).
>There have been 0 real world applications for this tech in 8 years

Geez, I mean that's simply not true so I don't know what to say to you.

Granted, applications are not as wide-ranging as the moon-lambo squad might have you believe, but there are plenty of people using blockchain in production, and plenty more using related tech/concepts (like the ones I detailed).

>Also disagree that fiat had any effect on mugging frequency. People with gold/silver coins likely got mugged at the same rate.

well your implication then is that the gold/silver coin robbers kept focusing on those carrying gold/silver, and a whole new set of honest folk started stealing only fiat from people, which is likely untrue.

I'd suggest crypto is similar - present-criminals are probably still being criminal and perhaps a small number of people saw some opportunity to become a criminal, but I'd suggest that it doesn't `enable [...] the worst actors and the worst humans around.` any more than fiat currency, electricity, the internet, etc etc etc etc do
I think Reddit handles porn well. If you don't want to see porn images, they are just a NSFW picture in the thumbnail, and nobody forces you to click on it. If you want stricter parent controls, that is ok to censor much more aggressively for porn.

As to political speeches, I find it completely unacceptable that a private company gets to decide what stays on and what not. For example just the other day Youtube threatened to shut down the Senate channel in Romania because of the speeches of one of the senators. She is a wacko, true, but she is a Senator in the Romanian senate and didn't violate any law, it's unacceptable that private companies get to decide what is free speech nowadays. The Romanian MPs have special protections in the law, and the most important one is the free speech. They have even more free speech that any citizen of Romania. But hey, youtube is above the Romanian Constitution.

Who is going to hold Youtube employees accountable? What democratic or judicial process is there to have checks and balances on that? Just saying: move to another platform is not good enough. You can't cut off the phones of your political adversaries and just say: buy a cell phone with another carrier.

If the platform is becoming overwhelmed with extremist content, then it's on to the platform to find ways to better show the most relevant content to each user (e.g. burying it), but outright banning non-illegal content should be illegal.

Can You Make Money Without Selling Anything Online?
Guess it was a smart call for me to stick to playing Dance Dance Revolution on my old PS2 (unaffected by this and not connected to the internet).

Though I did have a time issue when I looked at the exercise feature, which started thinking it was back to the year 2000 (even though I had played in 2008 before taking a long break). That didn't otherwise affect gameplay though.
I think there is a bunch of factors which are used as a proxy for whether a person is or isn't "professional". And being "professional" is itself a proxy for whether somebody is smart and possibly trustworthy.

In lack of better information (and even in presence of) our minds use a lot of shortcuts (biases) to guess some important information that you can't get directly. Almost all people will instinctively think about well groomed, well clothed people as more professional and trustworthy.

I think the same goes for how we present on a remote call and so I invested a little bit into making my audio/video setup and a more professionally looking office/background. Pretty sure it will pay for itself over time.

The more neutral sites that go behind paywalls, the more people will turn to sensationalist sites which remain free. This divides the knowledge of the people, sorting the well off and the not into different news buckets.

> They are the ones who should be forced to pay for the long term mental health of these workers.

I don't disagree... However, this doesn't do anything to address the issue that someone still has to sift through this disturbing content, and society as a whole probably still pays the price.

I don't think any sort of compensation or mental help would prevent the kinds of side effects this sort of role is exposed to.

Exceptions, for example.

First off, the chart shows GDP per capita at current prices, meaning it's not adjusted for inflation.

I was an avid reader for a long time, but college took a lot of that out of me. I read when I want now. Usually about 30-45 minutes before bed, but I'll go through spells where I just watch YouTube instead. I get book fatigue so reading back-to-back books is harder than it used to be. I typically read a book a month, but that can vary greatly. Right now I'm reading Obama's A Promised Land, but typically I prefer fiction. I read because it's nice and keeps me from being bored and watching stupid crap on TV or YT.
