Anecdotally Lyft did this years ago in Denver. My friend was called because she was a top 10% Lyft user and was asked to come protest because Colorado was thinking regulating ride sharing services in a way they didn't like.

>But no-one is discussing whether it is right or wrong. I mean we literally are. The original premise is about invalidating democratic results. If no one cares if it's right or wrong the conversation is moot in the first place becau

And I'm saying that whether or not you "broke the law" isn't a very interesting argument to me because some truly horrific things are legal and some perfectly mundane ones aren't. Simply being a law isn't a com

What's App, Instagram, Messenger, and VR all of which Facebook either own outright or are significantly invested in to win. IGTV is a shot across the bow at Youtube. Frankly I spoke with a VP at Facebook 3 years ago and he said they we

If it's B2C and you're going after affluent tech early adopters the folks that frequent these galleries likely are your target market.

Agreed. Seems almost like a reverse gambler's fallacy in a way. That said the advice in the article is just generally good. Not have debt, have an emergency fund, etc.

I want to challenge you on a few fronts. 1. Different parts of the US have vastly different values and cultural differences. Unless of course you want to compare SF, to rural Utah filled with devout Mormons, to the south side of Chicago, to

I find this comment extremely frustrating. Just because you didn't find satisfaction in travel doesn't mean that others won't in the same way not everyone will with a passion in programming. Similarly, you give yourself a pas

How do you square that with somewhere like Denmark with it's equally abysmal yet they have way less working hours and a large social safety net?

I'm sorry but you're vastly overestimating the average person if you think 99% of people even in Western Europe or the US simply have 50k they can afford to put into a high risk startup as an investment. For most that is either a

Search and social command decent amounts as well but those are effectively controlled by 4 companies. For the wide internet, yes video ads are where the money is at.

I primarily deal in Facebook for most of my clients. The 3rd party behavior targets etc.are notoriously inaccurate. Most bigger Facebook advertisers use lookalike audiences and Facebook first party data instead.

It's also hilariously inaccurate. I'm a freelance media buyer of sorts, and it think I works in either manufacturing or HR at a company of 500. The hilariously awful levels of inaccuracies this contains is the reason why the Faceb
