I'm really curious about the demographics of these cheapskates. Are they just young rebels without a cause? Are they couch surfing Marxists? Are they affluent but entitled? I mean, anyone who's had a job/career for a number o

I won't mind if this change drives fundamentalists away from the platform.

Isn't slippery slope a logical fallacy? Let's wait until Google does something actually insane before claiming that what they're doing is insane.

If you are watching YouTube then yes, it is a useful service that has some monetary value.

The "attention economy" has always been there. If you truly value your time so much you should be glad to have an option to pay for ads to be gone.

Totally different service, also what does 25 for life mean? Did they promise that somewhere?

I have not kept up with the latest on captcha technology, but isn't novelty a valid strategy? Just create a revolving door of weird games.

Progressive taxation makes sense when you're talking about actual tax, but why does it make sense for content creators? If anything, less popular creators cost Google more, because one 10GB video with 1,000,000 views is cheaper to host

Content creators receive approximately 55% of the revenue generated on their channels. What is fair and equitable to you? Bear in mind that the other 45% is not pure profit for YT as most of it pays for hosting, development etc.

Let's be real --- ad blockers don't have a setting to let through one ad every 30 minutes. I agree the number of ads is absolutely shocking, which I'm reminded every time I see someone else play youtube, as I've had a su

This is some truly incredible mental gymnastics.

I mean, either way, Youtube comes out ahead. If you're blocking all their ads and not paying a sub, you're just a cost. They're cutting you. What I don't understand is why you feel entitled to benefit from this resource

Announcing a capital raise is what pushed SVB over the edge (triggered the run). I don't see how doing that in summer or fall of last year would have helped. If anything their position was slightly improved by the time of the run as co

I think she is probably both. Anyway, Mrs. Holmes will herself be imprisoned soon, so I guess she'll be the odd one out if her diagnosis is just NPD.

I just asked it to give the Google assistant team some feedback, and it claims it forwarded it along. How can I figure out if that's true, I wonder.

Yea I think they already gave up on trying to compete for talent. I mean look, they basically cancelled the Edge team and kept a skeleton crew around to customize Chromium. They can just throw money at new tech or businesses rather than gro

As a percentage of the SP500, it's never been higher. This is important because (a) economic performance is relative (b) the most likely thing (or at least the most advisable thing) for anyone who receives MSFT RSUs is to immediately s

This is inaccurate. However if your sample is only people who are on Blind complaining, I can see how your data might be skewed in that direction.

Or they were good predictors of success, just not in the way you expected. The individuals got the job done one way or another, just like they nailed the entry level job position. How would you base a job interview on actual work? You have

So you can either ask a lot of questions or make a lot of observations/assertions, just be insightful rather than boring. Got it.

Sure, but what has this to do with investment bankers dabbling in financial market derivatives?

Bank runs result from depositors who suddenly lose confidence in the safety of their money. MMFs are not causing runs per se, but maybe bank walks. However the officially released data has shown that this isn't happening in recent week

The one time I visited Chile, the city air was thick with smoke from wood-burning fireplaces. At least at that point in the past, the total amount of electricity consumed would not accurately have reflected the total amount of energy cons

Buffet explained why that is, while talking about how they sold all other bank shares over the last six months. That is actually the scariest part of this --- if the fear around small banks were unfounded, Buffet would be snapping them up.

The only thing that could cause this to become a problem is if they're forced to sell which only happens during a bank run. The government explicitly protects these large banks from runs. Thus I think your fear mongering is unwarranted

They mostly don't invest in banks.

I really don't understand how this relates to the current banking crisis (yet). They're complaining about the amount of leverage in the investment banking system (seemingly unlimited when counting the leverage of derivatives) but
