It is not a serious argument when you malign the character of half the worlds population by extrapolating one anecdote.

Okay, thanks for replying. I know its probably hard or impossible to come by the actual hiring numbers, so I was curious.

A low sub base liking/commenting will keep your video somewhat relevant to the algo for recommendation. So you'll have a chunk of subs that stay the same, and a percentage of new viewers. Granted that will also cap your total view

I don't know what your definition of healthy economy is. 90% of startups fail, but people still do it. Is that healthy? Aside - The numbers are a lot more sane than I thought. I think its close to 50% the number of young people who wan

I wonder if monetization with a low subscriber base isn't as hard as we imagine. Afterall, you just need to net like 80K in a non HCOL city to live very comfortably. (assuming no employees, or office rent, or expensive production)

That is true, but I'd say that its no different when you're starting any new venture by yourself with the goal of being sustainable. The entertainment business is rough, but it's even harder to sell tangible goods/servic

Middle-class?! The only people purchasing personal EVs are rich people; giving them tax subsidies doesn't seem like the best use of my taxes. You think people making minimum wage are driving around in fancy EVs? >If you make all the

You can't solve everything at once, progress is incremental, and there are several case studies to the contrary. https://www.centreforcities.org/case-study-library/case-stud...

Personal cars (EV or otherwise) incur a huge carbon tax to manufacture, are difficult to recycle, and are idle during most of the day. You're welcome to your opinion.

There is no benefit to public transport when EV companies gets our tax money to build their charger network, or offering thousands of dollars of tax credit to rich folks to buy EVs. >In the end people will buy EVs because they are cheape

Improving public transportation is a far superior solution than forcing people to buy EV cars by outlawing gas engines. For the median income in the US, or person working minimum wage - all of this is pie-in-the-sky elite talk. EVs are esse

A quick google search reveals that no, Microsoft has not given up on making money on Windows - it generates billions of dollars of revenue. I don't know what you're referring to with the .ISO - I have never heard of this.

I think the 'molotov cocktail' solution is for PC makers to ship with ad-block installed by default. PCs these days ship with all kinds of shitty anti-virus and crappy addons, but somehow they're shy to tackle the ad-based &q

I think monetization via ads makes all platforms tangibly worse over time. Google, while not directly responsible, is definitely the catalyst that made everything shitty on the web. I, for one would love to see Google go out of business, bu

With statistics you can estimate anything and everything, in multiple ways. I'll start giving due importance to this approach when the 9 million number is shown to be accurate. Until then, color me skeptical.

Its a good idea in theory, but visibility is poor below 1000m or so, cameras are useless without light, and flood lights have limited range.

I think we're socially primed for it right now - at-least here in the US. Unlike other cultures where you're living with a large family or extended family or your parents, etc, life in the US is getting to be more and more solitar

Because fundamentally most of science is a dead-end. Most of drug discovery is a further dead end with a 90% failure rate. Nobody wants to pay for it, and big-pharma uses a few blockbuster products to pay for all their other failures.
