At my company we make all meetings optional, this really helps create the right incentives both for hosts and attendees. As a result we have very few meetings, but the ones we have work well. https://www.synura.com/handbook&

Missing - 1. I noticed a word used slightly incorrectly in the title. Rather than reading it with the clear intended meaning, let’s take it as literally as possible to build a suitable straw man. 2. Someone replying in every thread, debatin

I’m 40 and in the same boat but also moved overseas and travel a lot. I think that kind of forces you into not losing the ability to make new friends through your life.

Even if that’s true (I just don’t know) the cost alone of servicing the company debt is now greater than the cost of paying all those people to sit around and do nothing, and anyway the problems with Twitter aren’t ones that are fixed by en

If you're curious there are other threads in this topic where people are discussing different (existing) tools for removing sponsors from YouTube videos or podcasts, and using ML to remove digitally inserted ads, for example. I like to

I haven’t had much luck working with non-profits personally. It attracts people who build petty kingdoms, like any organisation, but there’s no mediating factor of needing to get results to temper it. It can all become quite arbitrary and t

I’m not sure. I pay for YouTube Premium because I watch a lot of content there and hate ads. Presumably, they added that option because there are people who exist who don’t like ads and are willing to support a different model. I even had a

I personally wouldn’t agree that the only possible reaction to anything ad-supported is to like the ads, or else you are making some kind of logical or category error. The existence of ad blockers on the internet for example seems to indica

So saying something like “I like the modern internet for the most part but not the ads” would in your opinion be a similarly nonsensical statement?

The best way to drive social media engagement as a “thought leader” is pick a slightly contrarian viewpoint and then just keep doubling down forever, no matter what. People will flock to you who want external validation of whatever they wis

That makes sense, but would you say email then is safe? Or is it something you should watch out for scams on? I am mainly wondering about Uniswap being described as safe.

Looking at the paper abstract, it says the identified scams by looking at transactions. So it seems at least some people are manually adding them and getting scammed. Or are you saying anyone who does that is by definition using Uniswap wro
