I evaluate lots of things by looking at pictures of them. Turns out to be pretty accurate in most cases.

I have to say, it looks pretty boring and underwhelming to me.

This is my favorite background sound website for focused work. Been using it for years. I have my own custom brown noise, and I also like the various rain noises - so soothing! Perfect when you are in a noisy environment and want to focus.

It depends on the CPM for his type of content. But yeah your estimate is what I would guess as well, if he only monetizes via youtube ads.

I am somewhat surprised he only has 80k subscribers and 20M views. Not a lot considering the amount of videos. But he is probably making a nice side income from this.

As a comparison I have done youtube "the honest way", and I posted around 200 videos and have 66k subscribers and 7M views.

Youtube does not punish you if you are not consistent. That is simply a myth. There are plenty of very successful youtubers who only publish occasionally or irregularly.

Having watched a lot of Gerald Undone's videos, I have a very very hard time imagining how he could incite anyone to threaten someones family. But I don't know the backstory, just saw the meltdown.

The author of the site went on a pretty fierce meltdown on Twitter, throwing shit at several people but mostly Gerald Undone who is a very loved, likeable, competent and successful gear reviewer on youtube. Now he has just deleted all these tweets. https://twitter.com/canonrumorsguy/with_replies

Honestly I think he was just frustrated with the fame, success and money that the gear-review-youtubers are getting, while he was working hard to provide news on a website that struggled to survive. That would be my guess at least.

I have this monitor. It is insane value for money and gives you a beautiful picture.

After some burnout after building a tech company, I saved up money and left my job, and decided to take 2 years just doing whatever I feel like doing each day, until I find something I really, truly love, that I can build a new career from. I tried some different things, and in the end I found my new calling. I think the key is to free up time so you can experiment with different things with no pressure to make money immediately. In this video my whole story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfHvh87gm7M

I quit my last real full time job in 2015 (CTO at my own tech startup with around 130 employees at the time), with no plans whatsoever. I felt burned out and wanted some rest and a new career path.

The first project I tried was writing a book. A few months in I realized I didn't enjoy writing as much as I thought I would, but I found myself taking longer and longer breaks to go out photographing with my camera.

Photography was something I had never done earlier in life, and it came pretty unexpectedly for me that I would enjoy it so much. Photography quickly became an obsession, while my book project never sold well at all. I took a couple of part time jobs to sustain myself while starting a youtube channel about photography in 2017.

Now 4 years later I have quit all part time engagements and can actually kind of make a living from my youtube channel, which is pretty amazing. I am so very happy and thankful for where I am today, as I truly love my new career. I would have never found it if I didn't give myself a year to explore different possibilities.

and this beautiful video will lose its point :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYS8Av10B00

If you like this you will probably also love the MacOS app called Numi. I sure do. https://numi.app/

Don't complicate things. I did lots of research of different NAS solutions etc. but in the end I just got a huge external USB drive and then automatic backup with backblaze for $60 per year. Works great and super cheap, plus I have offsite backup in case of fire or theft.

John Carmack and James Hetfield are a couple of very interesting guests he had.

I remember having the iPhone 2G back in 2007, and that someone created a way to store a 5GB wikipedia dump (the complete wikipedia at that time, but without photos) on it, so you could have the whole Wikipedia in your pocket. At the time it felt pretty amazing.

I think it helped me a lot to "practice" by living on nothing but saved money for 6-12 month periods a couple of times earlier in life. I always found myself very happy and with plenty of exciting things to do during these periods, so when I finally left the rat race for real I knew exactly how I wanted to structure my life.

Maybe Öppna Skolplattformen should just change their code to identify the token by its contents, no matter the parameter name?

Nothing stops you from minting any "art" as an NFT. What it comes down to is whether it is an officially sanctioned NFT by the artist or not, as that is what will give it "value".

This resonates with me. I get the same experience from my youtube channel - making a modest but sufficient income to make a living, talking directly to my "users" every day - hearing their appreciation and the stories on how my videos directly changed their life. So enjoyable.

For some users, at least for me, it is actually possible to just replace the video file in the upload interface on YouTubes website, within the first hour or so. Using this method this would be easy.

I just read a book about ADHD, and what you describe is exactly what the book says work can feel like for someone on the ADHD spectra. (the book is a Swedish one, called "Fördel ADHD" by Hansen)

Read up on ADHD, and learn good "tactics" to cope with work, such as regular workouts (increases dopamine and makes you able to focus for longer periods), short term goals (just 2 hours into the future perhaps), varying your tasks and work setting often, etc. Something I have found very helpful is the Pomodoro technique.

Reminds me of this documentary about Sweden. 50% of Swedes live alone, and 25% die alone. Often it takes a long time for someone to notice, as pensions come in to the account automatically, and the rent is also paid automatically.

I agree. Looking back though, I think that platforms such as Slack, have incorporated many of the key things that made Google Wave a great concept.

Someone did this research for the US: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6380...

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to have 800 open tabs? What is your workflow? Do you use tabs as bookmarks? How do you find open tabs?

I've also been asked for my occupation, and then my business card, and then my website – which they actually started browsing as I was standing there in the passport control. This was back in 2009.

In Sweden we have a visualization where Ericsson Globe, the worlds largest spherical building, represents the sun: http://www.swedensolarsystem.se/en/

Reminds me of the Tamam Shud Case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamam_Shud_case

I've been doing it for a few days now and it is quick, easy and seems to help.
