If you want to find out how little work you actually do, you can do this experiment: Set an alarm to go off every 15-30 mins. When it goes off write down what you are doing at that moment. Do this for 1 or 2 days.

Platforms like FB are just a tool for abuse in your example. If not for FB it would just take place on different platforms or through different channels. This is the price we pay for an interconnected world, killing Facebook will not save &

The build quality of beats though is complete garbage. Plastic that can snap in half and then you're boned out of hundreds of dollars. These airpods will live or die based on their durability and battery life. Personally, I love my nos

Pretty sure 90% of retail crypto investors are just FOMOing, but more and more people are excited by the technology and looking for creative applications. DeFi has been interesting to watch.

In crypto there's this concept of delegation and also pooling. This allows folks with smaller holdings to be exposed to the benefits of staking.

Sure that works, but AFAIK it's a far cry from the decentralization we were promised in the white paper.

Well, it's very useful for LARGE and semi-clandestine cross-border transactions, but yes it's not a liquid currency. It's more of a separate economy. It's just programmable money so it's really the beginnings of a n

Yeah, for sure. It's bizarre that it's not standard practice to just blocklist previously used credentials from already documented leaks.

At the end of the day most compromises that aren't state sponsored happen using low-tech methods like sim-swapping and spear phishing.

Funny, I've heard from multiple married friends of the "marriage tax" and how it knocks their finances all out of whack tax-wise. Some have seen the tax burden go up, and then again when getting divorced a few years later. Bu

Fair enough, I'm talking about the non software engineering side of ad tech.

Agreed, which is why it's good that this stuff is being shared. It's a datapoint to consider for those of us as we make career choices. But let's face it, if we are not founders, then we are just "the help".

It's peanuts, but it's also REALITY. Few people get big windfalls working for startups as employees or even founders, but maybe you get a little bonus on top of your salary if there's an exit.

To make those figures doing "ad work" at FB or Google you probably have to come in as a VP or higher, which already comes towards the end of a very long career arc.

Not every programmer is a "software engineer" for many, code is a tool to get a job done, it's a means to an end, and that's wonderful.

Not OP, but if you've lately found yourself trying to hire devs or technical folks in general, you will be inundated with resumes from current students and new grads that will illustrate the point.

Yes, the writers get paid for it, but they can select not to put their content behind the paywall and just use it as an open blogging platform.

You can publish on medium and chose not to be behind the paywall. The thing is that most individuals that publish on there want to get paid for it, hence paywall.

Presumably if all cars were self driving, or say 90% were. Then that would become the next "public transportation". And if they were all electric, the footprint would be less harsh as well.

Thanks!

Do you have any practical DeFI resources you can share around this? I imagine you need to be brave enough to have a fair amount of $$$ tied up in ETH to take advantage of these opportunities as well. Are there not substantial risks with tha

How long did it take you to amass a portfolio like this? Seems like it would take decades unless you have a very high salary.

In what way was the severity overstated? People are getting sick for weeks/months at a time and a good amount of people are dying.

" simply don't exist in large quantities outside major job markets." Job's that pay that much don't exist in large quantities period. If you think otherwise, you live in a walled garden.

It's that argument of you let yourself get conned so it's your fault. Therefore it's ok to con people. Nigerian scammers also are in this camp.
