I suspect that the complexity tradeoff isn't worth it for them. As in it would solve the problem but probably send overall engagement down. Opt in would be nice, I am sure high follower people would rather go to the effort of categoris

The Reddit mobile website might be the worst. Every aspect of it is geared to making it as annoying as possible to use so that you are forced to download their app (or go find a better 3rd party one).

The question is though, is it enough of a scam that anyone not looking for a high risk investment or putting a lot of time in should just steer clear of the whole thing? In terms of the currency aspect of cryptocurrency, what risk adjusted

It becomes harder to change though because if the culture is to go x over the speed limit, people will probably still go x over the new higher speed limit.

Around 2011 or so this was me. I generally didn't ad block and thought that seeing a few ads was a reasonable price for the free content online. Ads became ridiculous though and lost any sense of balance, the web became borderline unus

YouTube is pretty good here. The algorithm does a pretty good job at providing results that aren't the equivalent of blog spam and it is immediately obvious when you are watching a low quality video.

This is more of a response to people not paying attention. If all this time is being spent on email and chat and meetings it gets frustrating continually covering the same ground where it is obvious not much attention was paid the first tim

The difference is as a sender I would know that you parsed each of my questions, understood them and decided to either not answer them now or just never answer them. Replying to one is ambiguous, if it was actually important it just leads t

I think it terms of response if there is say a 5% chance of a global pandemic happening in any one year the world won't act all that much differently than if there was a 0.1% chance. The board political and societal will to do somethin

Which has basically failed, probably because of complexity for regular users. I don't know much about the crypto version of this, but it is probably more complex for a new user to get started with.

Yeah, from the perspective of someone joining a project rather than creating it, why wouldn’t you use ones that explicitly prevent any kind of outsized return for the creators?

No gameplay balancing by design sounds terrible. Release one bad overpowered item or spell and the game is forever ruined.

Banking in Australia with ING I could simply call them up and have the limit raised for a one time payment such as a house deposit which can then be completed online.

It is kind of working now, I doubt they would be able to buy TikTok. I don’t recall them being involved at all when Trump was trying to force its sale. But yeah big tech needs to be massive before it comes under any real antitrust scrutiny.

Some of it is about improving their public perception. We get a bunch of ads in Australia from mining companies trying to let everyone know they are digging up materials for renewable projects and not just coal.

Retail needs sales days to generate deals/content/buzz around, give them a reason to advertise to/ contact customers. It doesn’t really matter what the event ends up being called, they just jump on whatever is already associa

At some events like weddings people insist on having very loud music on making it very hard to hold any kind of conversation at the same time as not really being socially acceptable not to try and have them.

What got me as a kid was both not having strong opinions and worrying about whether my weak opinions would be acceptable to the other kids. Music for example was a bit of a minefield as I worried whether what I would suggest would be someth

Interesting, the ones we have got are always after much larger figures. Some will link a hackerone or similar with a more serious version of what they are reporting to us that was reported to a billion dollar company to try and ground the v

This seems to be common once a company goes public and finds success. New execs inside the company and investors outside the company are all incentivized to have the company make as much as possible. Probably hard to fight the inertia even

In some ways they are for consumer products. There is some percentage of people that won’t buy at all without the option. Then a much bigger percent that will still buy but prefer to use PayPal if you give the option.

There won’t be a crash. Possibly a period of stagnant wages because the market got ahead of itself, but I don’t think any of the underlying demand is going away.

I think it makes sense in a limited way. Government can do a lot but struggles to make big bets and see them through in the way a single minded billionaire could. Maybe government could solve this is providing some bigger chunks of no strin

It is a pyramid scheme though, each generation needing to be bigger than the last to support the previous generations retirement. It has to end at some point.

A lot of those massive releases are Disney though and they seem to be going all in on Disney+. There might be the occasionally cultural moments that generate new box office records, but I’d expect say the average box office return of the to

Those issues though generally scale with the amount of money your company is making. The likely worst case is shutting down and being out the $5k.

You weigh the grading such that you could still pass the course by doing well in the end assessments. Something like hand out 30% of the grade during the course and the rest at the end.
