When a webpage loads that looks like it was made in the 90’s, no ads, and is too wide for mobile so I have to drag from side to side, I know the content is gonna be legit.

Yes. While these claims might be hyperbolic and simplistic, I don’t think they’re way off the mark. The above issue, whilst relevant and worth factoring, doesn’t disprove this claim IMO.

Have you observed any other path for new want-to-be developers other than boot camps that tends to yield better outcomes ?

I remember overseas calls having a huge lag. Now I can call across and works and chat with perfect audio and video. I think we’re romanticizing the past and failing to recognize the ways in which calls are so much better.

In Hebrew the days of the week are named numerically: first day, second day etc. Sunday is the first day of the week in israel. Saturday, the last day of the Hebrew week is the only one not named numerically, it’s called sabbath.

And easy linking and bi-directional linking. Once you experience these two features it’s very hard to imagine notes without it. That’s the main reason I couldn’t go with the authors workflow of just plain text files.

I’m not sure I agree with the narrative that 1$ earned as a contractor is worth less than 1$ earned as an employee. Seems to me that the opposite is true. A contractor can get much more creative with taxes, off setting loads of expenses aga

Let’s say OF was forced to switch to crypto payments. They could make the switch tomorrow. Link to a few popular crypto exchanges so that customers know where to buy crypto and Bob’s your uncle.

This is the most plausible explanation in my opinion. OF we’re in the potential firing line so they rallied their user base and created a strong narrative. They can now say that they tried to limit porn but too many vulnerable people would

I also wonder if OF customers prefer paying girls who have less fans. This allows the person paying to have more personal interaction and to have more influence/control over the girl for less money. So market forces therefore would dri

Also, many of those debating and getting their toes wet in crypto are not necessarily predicting it will work, they’re just hedging their bets in case it does. For example I’ve got about 3% of my Investible wealth in crypto. If it tanks to

I’m genuinely agnostic on your question, either of those possibilities strike me as roughly equally plausible.

I haven’t seen the terms of the deal but it presume that most customers on the monthly retainer will not submit a task every day, maybe on average every 4 or 5 business days. That changes the maths quite a bit

I took my gap year in israel with a religious Jewish friends. We were slight stoners back then and on sabbath in order for him to get high I’d have to light a bong in a cupboard and fill the cupboard with smoke and then swap places with him

The solution to that is for savvy consumers like us to band together and form a non governmental ratings agency that gives a stamp of approval to products that meet a repair standard. Same as “certified free range” or “certified kosher” foo

Yeah because such a company would make less profit because people wouldn’t have to replace their products as often. But having a private industry body ensures that company that does opt to make their product repairable get duly accredited.

Why does it have to be imposed and enforced. If you think about it, this law reduces profit for firms which will get pushed back to consumers in the form of price. Why not let those consumers who want to pay that “tax” have the choice. And

I like fixing things rather than discarding so I’m in favor of the underlying principle. But I’d prefer a free-market solution rather than a regulatory one. I’d rather someone creates a private civil society organization whose gives a stamp

It’s always a trade off and there’s no right answer for everyone. I spent my twenties roughly as you advise, and i definitely grew and learned from it. But some of my counterparts focused on career and have achieved more on that front and

I would speculate that, on the whole, they’re probably comparable in terms of outcome, the old system was designed for mediocre outcomes whereas the current one is due to negligence. But could be wrong, our former white public schools now s

I don’t follow, how does my claim imply that number of working hours would decrease or that conditions would increase? Those seem to be factors that fall outside of the specific forces we are discussing?

To clarify the Schindler analogy, I’m obviously not suggesting that we deserve medals for providing low paid work, just that the work we provide is not causing harm, on the contrary it’s a slight improvement on the alternative options for t

By your logic if 0.000000001% of the population was killed while going for walks each day you could say going for a walk was literally risking your life. Obviously these things operate on a scale and I’m not saying that there is zero risk.
