For me it's been telegram. Even my in laws are on it. Cutting old social media never impacted my life much though.

People should just go back to forums. It was better when I didn't know about the absolute nutcases and always felt like forum information was superior to the stuff I find on Reddit.

That's not how freedom of speech works at all. These are not publicly funded platforms. They are businesses and as such need to censor speech in order to maintain relationships with businesses. Twitter is a great example. They start to loosen up on the hate speech and advertisers flee while simultaneously clamping down on anti government speech. I do not support free speech absolutism for private businesses because of this. It just doesn't make good business sense.

That's pretty devastating. This was old reliable for a long time. I could never keep up with the demands from private trackers as streaming made it so I didn't need to utilize them as much.

Points or rebates too.

They run through a seamer right after the filler. I work in the industry. It's a neat process. The can exits the filler, a lid releases and is seamed just after.

Yea this is what decriers don't explain. I may not view at as a strong currency for which it was intended but it's undeniable it has become a store for speculative value that isn't going away anytime soon.

There's a lot of trash in the crypto world but also some valid projects.

I use Bitwarden and pay for it. I've previously used 1password but stopped when they went to a subscription model.

This is a valid point. I feel savvy with a lot of things but this is not an area where I'm willing to take risks.

Speaking from experience on surface ships, no.

If the command gives a rip about its reputation then these things will be addressed first. Everything from swabbing and sweeping decks, high dusting, polishing fittings, etc. It will look immaculate. Only on deployment do these appearance priorities start to drop due to operational concerns or tempo.

But the surface Navy is not a good community and is filled with self-interested officers that are more concerned about progressing their careers than training their people or maintaining their gear. It's why the collisions happened and it's why people died because of those.

The Navy has a huge culture problem in the surface community and until someone with the authority to address it decides to, things won't get better.

It's a big factor that led me to leave the Navy and go onto other things.

I'd constantly be trying to do something a different way that I could prove was more effective and be told not to do it.

Anyways that's my two cents on the topic.

When a company grows at a steady rate staffing can be carefully managed alongside the implementation of new technology to manage said growth.

However, when a company grows rapidly due to high interest in their product, the quickest way to manage that growth is typically going to be manpower.

There are indeed better solutions, but manpower works in a lot of industries, particularly those that grow their volume quickly.

I think the surging popularity of crypto prior to our current downturn sparked some rapid growth and the need for more workers.

On the technical side you really want to build your infrastructure so that it can scale up quickly, but on the customer facing side that's not always possible and thus you might need more personnel to man the chats and phones.

It's sometimes easy to look at a problem from an external view and go wow why do they do it that way, but in my own experience there are unseen internal reasons or obstacles for why a company is not doing it in a seemingly obvious better way.
