jamisteven··on TikTok and Microsoft’s Clock
TikToc is basicaly Vine2.0 and will go down just like Vine and YikYak already did. The reason behind MS wanting to acquire TT we will never know. I have a feeling the national sec. implications arent exactly what we are saying they are.
jamisteven··on The Truth Is Paywalled but the Lies Are Free
Current affairs eventually become history, my point being that the truth isnt always the truth, its only the narrative of the winning, or more dominant party at the time.
jamisteven··on The Truth Is Paywalled but the Lies Are Free
“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books—books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon? '”
jamisteven··on The Truth Is Paywalled but the Lies Are Free
I think this headline is backwards.
jamisteven··on Tampa teen accused of being ‘mastermind’ behind Twitter hack
Just because he is 17 doesnt mean he didnt understand the repurcutions of his actions. That said, Twitter should be facing fines as well for not protecting their platform. I mean seriously what if someone gets hold of a say, Putin or Trump's account and starts stating they are launching strikes on XYZ country within the hour, what happens then? With great power comes great responsibility and these platforms of communication are no exception.
jamisteven··on USA buys up world stock of remdesivir
exactly.
jamisteven··on Viewpoint: 'I feel like I was accidentally hired'
Many of the things you mention to have experienced, I too have experienced. Only I am white, working in a largely caucasian environment.
jamisteven··on Brazil Suspends WhatsApp Payments
Mostly unheard of?! Besides my parents, I dont know anyone that doesnt use WhatsApp in the US.
jamisteven··on Analysis of SwissCovid app
"Although the source code of the app is available, we cannot compile it, run it, and make it work without signing an agreement with Apple or Google. We do not find it compatible with the notion of open source." <-- Isnt this the case with every app?
jamisteven··on $1M treasure in Rocky Mountains has been found, says Forrest Fenn
Damnit, there goes my retirement plan.
jamisteven··on The Problem with Saying “Don’t Bring Me Problems, Bring Me Solutions” (2017)
"Make it safe. Modify your behavior so that people aren’t afraid to bring you bad news." Are they serious with this? I swear so much of HBR's recent content is so politically correct, wayward with the sun, psychobabel BS.
jamisteven··on Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian Resigns from the Board of Reddit
"For my country.." LMAO is this guy serious? His net worth is how much? Him leaving does what exactly?

jamisteven··on Landlord-friendly, self-install solar and battery kit
This reeks of spam, and that picture of the module on the apartment floor is not even real, its clearly photoshopped and a digital render of the product.
jamisteven··on Trump threatens to 'close' down social media platforms
Headline is a bit taking things out of context. He is basically saying they can either allow all free speech or cease to exist, I would tend to agree.
jamisteven··on Joe Rogan got ripped off
Whoever wrote this doesnt have a clue as to the inner-workings of this deal.
jamisteven··on She Gets Calls and Texts Meant for Elon Musk. Some Are Pretty Weird
Can imagine Elon reading this and thinking, why tf would you even report on such nonsense? I mean really, why is this a story? And these pictures of the woman receiving the texts, they position her like she is a victim somehow, I mean look at these facial expressions LMAO.
jamisteven··on Want to build a side business? buy a great domain name
tbh this is far from the reality, not everyone is capable of selecting industries at random and making turning it into a profitable online storefront, in fact ide go so far as to say that a physical storefront is easier these days. Have read the vidalia onion story, its great but the fact of the matter is without an immense amount of knowledge on things like web marketing and SEO, you are going nowhere. I use to own the domain name fixmyfreecreditreport.com, we were piggy backing off of myfreecreditreport.com, driving traffic was still a massive undertaking, and then trying to get those visitors to convert into customers for lead generation, yikes. Shortly after that owned groomzter.com, still own this but shut it down after 6 months for the same reason, driving traffic. Want to rank for that common of a keyword? You had better be a fucking ninja at SEO, or have someone working for you that is.
jamisteven··on Vitamin D and Inflammation: Potential Implications for Severity of Covid-19
There are at least 3 randomized studies on D and its affects on respiratory diseases.
jamisteven··on Air travel is going to be very bad, for a very long time
Bit dramatic.

jamisteven··on Soros fund management backs electric-vehicle charging startup
Not if they have negotiated the rates with the power company ahead of time.
jamisteven··on Why Is Harvard Getting $9M in Stimulus Money When It Has a $40B Endowment?
Fairly certain endowments arent just bank accounts without stipulations. 1m for athletics, 1m for research, 1m for infectious diseases, etc. Not 40b to do whatever you want, there are strict rules on how these funds can be used and what they can be used for. That said, I dont agree with them getting financial assistance from the government. Yea, goes into this further down the article: "a Harvard spokesman emailed a list of bullet points about restrictions on endowment spending. The short version: The endowment is made up of more than 13,000 separate funds. The “overwhelming majority” of those are restricted to spending designated by donors, like professorships and scholarships"

jamisteven··on Turning my obsession in the stock market into a side project
Ahh, I was thinking certainly this perfectionist didnt reverse these words on accident! Also, that shed build, pretty nice, the Al Merick behind the original garage desk, also nice. I lived in SD for a while, miss it but damn that water is cold compared to the east coast.
jamisteven··on Turning my obsession in the stock market into a side project
This was a great read, really enjoy the branding, the feel, the minimalism in the design etc. From a product perspective, I have a hard time seeing what value this adds to your average trader, for me this wouldnt help influence any decision making. For example every morning I listen to Bloomberg's "Five things to start your day", this is largely actionable information that adds color and context to movement in the markets. I would think if you can hone into say sector-specific emails, like technology etc, to help zoom in on what sectors as a whole, say tech, are looking like this week versus historical, potential reports driving these changes etc, you may get a larger subscriber base. ps: the tagline under Bullish logo at the bottom is backwards. Says buy high sell low.
jamisteven··on Google cancels legacy Google Play Music subscriptions
Does this mean we can get Songza back? Was pretty bummed out when google acquired them, really enjoyed that music app although Spotify basically has the same functionality now.
jamisteven··on Swedish hospital suspends Covid-19 treatment with chloroquine
1. India has a death rate of 2.22 per million people, this is one of the lowest rates of any country in the globe. 2. Not only are they using Chloroquine but their government is so confident in the drug that as of yesterday wont allow its export to other countries.
jamisteven··on Swedish hospital suspends Covid-19 treatment with chloroquine
This article's contents do not match the headline, they give no indication as to what these "serious" side effects even are. There seems to be a massive political fight taking place over the official treatment of this disease and it sickens me. Tell me, why is it that India has this so under control and are using Chloroquine almost exclusively for the treatment?
jamisteven··on Lyme disease bacteria eradicated by new drug in early tests
