>>There’s a trade-off to this commission plan: the company may pay both the customer success managers & the AEs for expansion. Also, if customers expand by themselves, salespeople may receive commissions without expending more sales effort.

Managers often try to minimize these trade-offs, and it is insanely myopic.

Just because a customer increases their spend without an explicit action by your rep does not mean that you should pocket the commission for yourself/dept/company. Even if the rep actually did absolutely nothing, allowing an occasional "unearned" commission will build loyalty & motivation. More likely, it'll get your reps to focus more on customers who are likely to eventually expand, and also doing the kind of ongoing 'soft' follow-up and account maintenance/monitoring that makes customers more likely to up-convert.

Management, if anything, should be about seeing the long view and incorporating it into the plans. Why it is so rare to do so continuously amazes me.

It is not a conspiracy theory. It is literally how financial regulations mandate the financial system works.

Non-cash anonymous financial transactions have been no-no for a long while, in particular under AML/KYC.

Over a certain amount, even cash transactions get wrapped in KYC/AML papertrail for law enforcement facilitation.
Mathematician here - one who has been paid to write successful option models for Wall Street, for example.

Your argument is wildly wrong because you cannot add negative numbers and make a positive. You simply invent random transactions to come up with a desired outcome, and refuse to look at the big picture.

The whole cryptomarket is a negative sum game, because of the costs of electricity, bandwidth and personnel. For every dollar that goes into the whole cryptocurrency market to buy a coin, less than a dollar comes out, because some of that money is buying mining rigs and generator plants.

This is certain because there is a law of conservation of money in this case. Cryptocurrency neither creates nor destroys fiat currency, so the inputs and outputs have to net equal less than zero.

Why don't you try to come up with some sequence of actual transactions in a "toy" market with a small enough number of participants that you can work through it by hand, not forgetting to take out money from the pot for electricity, network, and personnel? You'll soon see that this network net destroys money - it doesn't create it.

If you don't believe it, I'll write you a math proof, but TBH if you don't understand the explanation above, you'll understand the math proof even less.
Actually, yes, that's exactly what RustDesk does. Run the exe, get an ID and password, bypass all NATs, just like TeamViewer.
After TeamViewer decided I was a commercial user for some unknown reason and started blocking my sessions, I've used it with less technical friends and family several times without any significant issues.

To compete in this space is its main purpose and I'd say it does a pretty good job.
It’s not, because primary scans have arbitrary quality. Better OCR tech will spare you corrections but not from comparing the scan which is the big fixed cost whether it’s to correct 1000 errors or 10 errors.

> There's no way any open-source project could compete in this space.

That's needlessly negative. They offer their own relay server or the possibility to host your own. From the documentation it seems like they're aiming for the same UX as TeamViewer, for which we desperately need an OSS alternative that's equally user-friendly. Saying that it's an unreachable goal is defeatist and pure speculation.

Digital cash needs several features to even start getting adoption:

Stable value

Fast finality, low fees, high throughput

Privacy/anonymity/fungibility

Usability

No cryptocurrencies meet these requirements so far.

Given the margins on their ad business, Google's lack of customer support is holding back revenue growth. And feels like an asinine strategy.

Apple Stores, and the ability to walk in and talk to a human, are one of the primary reasons many of my family members buy Apple products.

I believe Apple stores add tremendous value to their top line and bottom line growth.

Google should look to have some sort of phone, chat, or physical presence.

To be fair, once you start spending enough money they do assign an account rep to you. I've had account reps reach out to me many times.

But they do little to help people get started.

I don't know why they don't invest more in onboarding.

It seems like the lifetime value of a Google Ads customer would average in the thousands...

A little more hand holding in the early stages, just when people run into problems, seems like it would drive faster top-line growth.

But, they're so dominant, they may never discover this easy way to grow revenue and profit.
I kinda wonder if Netflix has the same problem. My tv is not hooked up to surround sound yet I can’t tell Netflix that this device is stereo only so every time I play something that has a 5.1 audio track, that is what is being streamed.

Indeed. But I wouldn't consider ZCash to be in the same category as Monero, not with the way it was pre-mined, the sketchy key ceremony, the developers' willingness to co-operate with law enforcement, and the unshielded-by-default transactions.
Viewer of what? Dicom can contain other things than just nD imagery.

Also, the difficulty in my experience is the getting data back in part; getting data out is usually a lot easier (you don't need to care about those tags).
https://www.encryptionin.space/tracking-hsdirs-and-the-versi... tracks the fraction of HSDirs that are v2 vs v3 and the likelyhood of any random attempt to resolve a tor v2 address failing. Right now it's about 30%. So the old tor v2 still sort of exists and if it continues like this it will exist until brute forcing prefix collisions becomes feasible for trivial amounts of money. Right now it still takes quite a bit. Or, maybe the Tor project sees tor v2 still has users that don't want to stop, they will release a version with a consensus flag to block old versions that support v2 from the tor project controlled section of the tor network.

The tor project metrics used to have tor v2 and v3 overlayed on the same plots but now they're separate and the default date values are for v3 plotting, https://metrics.torproject.org/hidserv-rend-relayed-cells.ht...
I can see some really good uses for something like Monero - for example, purchasing a VPS anonymously. I would definitely consider that a desirable thing to be able to do. And I know at least a few VPS providers take Monero, so we're all good right?

No. Here's the rub... the problem I see, and what makes Monero less usable to my way of thinking, is the "last mile" problem of getting value in and out of the Monero ecosystem. In my case, specifically, the question of how I transfer value I currently hold - which is almost 100% in fiat currency (USD) - into Monero, in an anonymous fashion. Yes, it can be done. No, it's not easy. And then for the merchant who accepts Monero, they probably have the inverse problem of exchanging their Monero for the desired fiat currency (which you still need to buy most things) without revealing information they may not want to reveal.
Firstly your "quarantine camp" is actually a quarantine facility. These were setup because people wanted an alternative to hotel quarantine (because these were ineffective). This facility was for travelers not for random Australians.

We didn't have this facility in Victoria, it was only for NT. We had to quarantine at home. A lot of Victorians weren't happy about not having a similar facility because the hotel quarantine that Victoria had in place wasn't as effective. We would go to zero cases and then a some staff would get covid from the hotel and spread it.

We quarantined at home. My family got sick and guess what, they weren't "dragged off" by the Gestapo, they just stayed at home for 7 days.

Fox News isn't the best source of information fyi.

Regardless, Australia is a democracy (I am not sure if you knew this), if these were unpopular, the parties involved will be voted out. Australia has preferential voting so there is no reason why an anti lockdown party couldn't win.

What motivation do you suppose the guards had if they "went out of their way not to interfere"?

To me it seems that such a choice on the part of the guards would amount to a serious dereliction of duty.

Why would they willful choose to do that?

It might actually be good for transport, you could run one set of rails along the entire length and just jump on/off at your desired station. Probably the real-estate in the middle would be the most expensive because it will still be the hub of the city.

I agree that it's a techy branding, absolutely.

I didn't finish my thought, sorry about that: I meant that it's up to us the techies to push what's of objectively better quality into the spotlight for the non-tech users to adopt. And I do that when the opportunity arises.

It's funny I had a senior title before but I screwed up my tech interview at current job (was interviewing for level 2). I can't really be choosy in my situation and this was the first offer I got after looking/doing interview process with 3 companies in a month. Anyway I ended up getting a level 1 position but it still paid more than previous so I was like alright.

The thing with the two years is I still haven't found my lifelong calling, it could be in robotics but I don't have the academic background for it, so it might be something I work on, on the side until it can become its own company.
Showing my age: As an undergrad, in 1969, I read Dirk Brouwer's book, Methods of Celestial Mechanics; much of it over my head. I remember writing a Fortran program to solve Kepler's Equation and -- surprise -- getting the same answer as the textbook's analytic solution.

Turned out to be really useful when I studied planetary science in grad school - just knowing the language of the coordinate systems and expansions.

Later, I picked up a copy of Mattias Soop's sweet monograph, "Introduction to Geostationary Orbits" ... even today, it's a joy to read.
They're not widely adopted because they don't solve any problems faced by the masses.

I have a project exactly about this, cataloguing all the things I wish someone had told me, as a non-math person(https://github.com/EternityForest/AnyoneCanDoIt/blob/master/...).

They can be understood without any real talent, and used in everyday life(If you're a programmer).

But that's more like knowing a collection of calculator tricks than knowing math. I would probably have a very hard time even getting a D in high school math class.

I don't think I'm much closer to the really life changing stuff, like what you need for an EE degree, or the general ability to comprehend systems with interacting parts and events that happen simultaneously, compared to an average grade schooler.

Math is almost like drawing, in that people pretend you get started by following lists of steps, but each step by itself requires a mode of thought that takes lots of work to develop.

It's like trying to learn to dance, and someone says "It's easy, just copy me", like as if the ability to copy a pose is just something everyone can do without training.
This is what the industry wants and rewards right now. Even average engineer tenure at FAANG is only a couple of years. Some of this is employee career-driven, but it’s also caused by employers churning their workforce with dissatisfying conditions.
Feels like an odd choice to imply that Gogol was subtle in any way about being subversive and unsympathetic to the state.

I haven't read that many of his works, but the two that almost any Russian adult would know about are "The Government Inspector" and "Dead Souls". Both of which are almost 100% about satirizing government corruption and awful local politicking in the most grotesque ways possible. The intent and overall theme of those stories was as obvious as it can get, though both pack plenty of great less obvious nuance as well.

Not disagreeing with you overall though, Gogol had so many massively impactful works, it is hard to neatly pack his work as "here are his 2-3 monumental pieces everyone knows", he has way too many of those. "Taras Bulba", as you've mentioned, is extremely different from the two i listed above, but there are just as many people who know Gogol exclusively for that. And that can be said about half of his works imo. Then "Viy"? That one was a whole different genre completely (supernatural horror with some subtle themes under), and there is a whole swath of people who would know him just for that as well.
You're happy to see people go to jail for sending spam? This seems crazy from my perspective. It seems to me like a minor offense that wouldn't require jail time (and where jail would be counterproductive).

Of course if you are actually talking about scammers then I can understand your perspective, even if I'm not sure I would agree either.
It is generally far easier to get a cracked version of an original game.

As for 'piracy subculture', I guess that now with Steam refusing to accept payments from Russian users (who couldn't pay by Mastercard/visa anyway) it'll receive a powerful boost.
Until I took a senior developer role at a radiology practice I had no idea what DICOM was. The idea that a physician should know is kind of fanciful, isn't it? In 99.99% of cases, they load images by clicking a button that says "Display images" in a PACS, or RIS, or the images are loaded automatically by workflow. It's like expecting someone who has only ever viewed webpages, and never even viewed the source let alone made a webpage, to know the difference between JPEG, GIF, and PNG.

I imagine there's a psychological barrier to upgrading a plan. Make the customer break that barrier on their own, due to the necessities of their current usage, and they'll have less compunction to upgrade later on. Psychological barrier already broken.

Whether the decreased initial revenue is outweighed by the increased number of upgrades later on is a different question. Personally, I'm skeptical the strategy pays off.
Well, no. Germany wasn't even united as a country until Bismarck. And it didn't grow to a gargantuan size by conquering neighboring, nearly empty lands.
as someone who has started to daily drive rustdesk for 12 hours a day 6 days a week on 1 to 5/9 computers daily, this is a much better experience visually than anydesk.

i've stopped using teamviewer 3-5 years ago when they said i had violated home free edition. anydesk seemed to go that way last year or so and i jumped ship.

from my linux to windows 10 ltsc, alt-tab has issues, anydesk does not. anydesk has this fucking numlock bug for years now which hasnt been fixed. rustdesk does not have that.

i am able to watch youtube over rustdesk, anydesk chugs.

other than that, its just the same same.

i highly encourage people to move from anydesk (again, teamviewer is out a long time ago anyways) and rustdesk is a good alternative. good luck to the team.

edit: yes. file copy paste does not work from linux-windows, maybe it does windows-windows but i havent checked that while anydesk does this

There is also a problem that many DICOM viewers are outdated and abandoned, e.g. written in GTK+ 2.x which is not availabe on modern systems, and weren't updated for many years. Take, for example, AMIDE[1] - no changes in the development repository for 5 years already. Same story with many other projects.

You are underselling TODAY, building satisfaction with the purchase and desire to get more, as opposed to resentment at having overpurchased and now seeing you as yet another vendor who oversold us a bunch of stuff and is now worth less than the spend, and is now pinching the budget. The former is likely to turn you into a valued provider, and the latter is likely to have the customer looking elsewhere in the future.

Typically, existing customers business costs only 20% of acquiring new customers. To succeed, you want to maximize ongoing relationships, not keep churning for new customers at 5x the acquisition cost.

I personally find it hard to ask for more or job hop because I think we tech workers overpaid. It feels greedy or unethical especially when i compare myself to similarly hard working or top performing peers in other engineering fields and other industries, who do seemingly more important work than me, but get paid less than half of what i get already.
> What if the crime was violating house arrest?

Were any of the people on the logs under house arrest at the time?

> What if you say, while under oath, you weren't at some of the manifests destinations, and the crime was perjury?

Then the log is evidence, but alone pretty weak evidence, definitely not sufficient for a conviction and likely not even enough, on its own to meet the probable cause standard ton sustain a charge.

> Being on a flight log is evidence you were on a flight.

Which generally isn't a crime.

> Jury's (or Judges if you don't want a Jury) decide guilt.

But, long before that, judges decide whether there is probable cause to even sustain charges, and you haven't really painted a map of anything that would suggest that that exists for anyone.

> With everything known surrounding the destination of some of these flights, It is surprising the logs didn't lead to investigations into some of the serial passengers

Making criminal investigations of particular individuals public prior to charges is generally a breach of protocol. Maybe they were investigated, and insufficient evidence to charge was found. Maybe there are still notionally open investigations stuck at dead ends waiting for a break.

You are surprised by something that is completely your own assumption.
> The goal is to capture as much revenue as possible. A company would never intentionally limit their revenue intake unless it was absolutely detrimental to the business.

Yes they would. Their goal is POWER and NOT dollars, which are worth less and less every day.

Just like corporate controlled mass media, the goal is POWER and NOT dollars. Dollars are the plausible deniability -- "it's just for the money!" is a mis-direction.

Using a privacy card is not an acceptable indicator of fraud or anything in a country with due process and a supposed presumption of innocence.

As with anything - what's the user need?

The vast majority of people don't seem fazed about their credit card company knowing they've bought a sex toy. Hell, if Amex offered double-cashback at PornHub I expect they'd be inundated.

For those which do want a bit more privacy, it's dead easy to buy a single-use gift card or cash card. Will that stop the police from tracing you? No, but it makes it harder for a company to build a profile or a spouse to snoop.

So you're left with things which are (rightly or wrongly) illegal. Or incredibly taboo.

Is there a huge market for those things? If so, what are the customer benefits of Monero against cash? Or barter? Or owing a favour?

How easy is it - for both sides - to get set up? I can check cash isn't forged to a high degree of accuracy very easily. How much hard work do I have to do for Monero? How much educating my customers do I have to do? If Monero is restricted to shady stuff - how much of a target am I painting on my back?

It's possible for a company to stimulate and create user need. But that's a lot harder than tapping in to a currently unsatisfied niche.
We haven't experimented much with Imagen, but our initial conclusions were that:
