The funny thing about this ad is that it's already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone says they have a headache I think about it

No, no, no, Rust is so good it doesn't even let you create race conditions!

Just...uhh...move to a place that has a balcony?

Care to share some of your favorites?

One of my favorites recently has been Djesse Vol. 4 by Jacob Collier

But act now and get AdamEatsAss Basic with 5 min unskippable ads for only $4.25

Stremio + Torrentio has changed my life recently!

Tons of tutorials online and it's dead simple to set up. Takes ~ 5 mins

I have some family members that have HBO and Hulu that I borrow logins for, but I never visit the apps directly anymore, it's just not worth it when you can get all the content all in one place with no hoops to jump through

WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there

This was actually the whole original point of Duolingo. The founder previously created Recaptcha to crowd source machine vision of scanned books.

His whole thing is crowd sourcing difficult tasks that machines struggle with by providing some sort of reason to do it (prevent spam at first and learn a language now)

From what I understand Duolingo just got too popular and the subscription service they offer made them enough money to be happy with.

This is almost an accidental case study in what the most popular platform is at any given moment! I wonder which one is next?

Good thing my company just switched from their service! Their customer service was truly awful, too.

No, it says that making an effort requires no talent.

I've thought about this a bit (but by no means extensively) and I feel like the stakes are different for tech companies because growth doesn't require as much capital as a non-tech business.

For a SaaS tech company to scale from 10 users to 1000 users doesn't mean a bunch more sales people and a new factory, it means having a great product and turning on new servers, likely only incurring a higher hosting bill from AWS (or similar).

In that sense, I feel like it's easier for the sentiment to be "we'll be better off with 1000 more users" over and over again until people start to want to optimize the business. Which means doing more traditional "shareholder value creation" that big companies do today.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it happen, but i think tech just scales so differently and easier than other business types.

Not the person you asked, but in my experience: in the worst case you end up paying more for something that was rather simple, but in the best case they find some nice savings.

That being said, if you have the money and just don't like doing taxes, it's pretty fantastic to just send someone your papers and wait.

While very cool, I have to say I was not expecting the stripteases in all of his videos

In this rare case, I would totally suggest you read the article. It has the perfect amount of humor mixed with shocking facts (revealed via email evidence from the Google antitrust case) and it wraps it all up in a way that's easy to understand.

Holy shit this would have been an amazing line for Micheal Scott to say

Huh, I always assumed it was just because they target the exact same people. The only differentiator is pasta or seafood, in my mind.

I think it's because a lot of people though: "hmm, yea, that checks out for a reddit mod"

Agree completely, this is how every machine learning system is built! Maybe this one was taking too long, but that's exactly what beta's are meant to prove.
