I've actually seen a boon in interactive fiction. Maybe authors can pivot to that. But I fear with the very low barrier to entry, most creatives won't be making money.

That's a great point, but I'm seeing an absolute explosion of transcription services which are all essentially based on AWS. The only real innovation here is when this is combined with language learning apps to help me practice my

At least on the Xbox side, I've noticed Microsoft is doing everything they can to passively discourage PC owners from buying an Xbox. Game pass, to my pleasant surprise offers tons of PC games to download, on top of that you can cloud

Considering the AWS API is essentially open for everyone to start a transcription service, what exactly is the difference here. If you know what you're doing you can build this in about 4 hours.

Hiring 2 full time developers and 2 full time artists. Have them add online play, and better art. Right now it clearly looks like an indie hobbyist game.

Kinda sad that he stopped. I'm imagine a young Jeff looking for a SciFi novel, not finding it anywhere and then coming up with the idea for Amazon.

I'd like to get a bit of investment for one of my games, but I honestly don't imagine this would happen. And from what I can see, most video game publishers will give you a relatively small amount of money but then expect you to d

The other thing to remember is you generally expect population growth. Even if the decline isn't significant, it means theirs no growth. This is a good thing. California is a horrible horrible place for most working class people. You w

Expect more of a push to get remote workers back in the office. So many people work at cafes, bars, restaurants which mainly serve people leaving the office.

They do but they don't. Audible is crippled since you can't do cash purchases. You have some bizarro work around where you need an Android device or a computer to buy your book. That's said I completely support Apple doing th

Is there any way for someone to post a Google collab notebook with this. I think this would be pretty cool if it would support any picture or video.

They don't. Anxiety is though the roof. I don't waste time arguing about this, but I don't use social media / online dating. It wasn't good for me emotionally. I've still done very well meeting people.

This is how all social media apps eventually work. Apps know you get an endorphin rush every time a notification comes. Even if the notification doesn't show anything relevant, it MIGHT be important so you hurry to open it. I had to q

Yeah but good luck returning something from AliExpress. I'm more into getting the stuff I want fast, and making sure it does what I want.

The short answer is as a single person with a significant amount of expendable income, I buy a lot of toys. The long answer is I buy almost everything except for food off of Amazon. Need a couch, get it off Amazon, want a shiny new video ga

Amazon's entire customer service philosophy is basically will give you store credit out of good will. For example I once couldn't figure out how to build a table right, and I hopped on the phone with their customer service departm

Get rich advisors, life style coaches, dating coaches. I don't really have respect for people who haven't actually accomplished anything aside from a grift. I do read books like Principals by Ray Dalio or I Love Capitalism! by Ken

Ya know at 20 theirs's a ton of very bad mistakes one can make. Something that can be resolved via getting in contact with AWS isn't one of them. I've gotten charges refunded before.

It also factors into how someone grew up. I'd rather toss 10k into a couple emergency fund then waste it on a ring. Most marriages collapse due to money. I recall in my younger days I was with a girl and she dragged me to Brooks Brothe
