I've actually seen a boon in interactive fiction.
Maybe authors can pivot to that. But I fear with the very low barrier to entry, most creatives won't be making money.

The only real innovation here is when this is combined with language learning apps to help me practice my Chinese pronunciation, but even then I know I'll have to look to hire a tutor soon.
Game pass, to my pleasant surprise offers tons of PC games to download, on top of that you can cloud stream directly to your browser or to your Android device. The quality here is absurdly high. I think Microsoft is essentially testing this cloud technology on video games, before they tackle the Enterprise. Uptime requirements for a video game are absurdly low, no one's losing money if they can't play Halo for couple of days.
There are a handful of games which are console only , mostly older titles but it hasn't bothered me all that much.
Have them add online play, and better art. Right now it clearly looks like an indie hobbyist game.
I'm imagine a young Jeff looking for a SciFi novel, not finding it anywhere and then coming up with the idea for Amazon.
And from what I can see, most video game publishers will give you a relatively small amount of money but then expect you to do tons of work to get games up to their standards.
A part of me just wants to upload it up on Itch IO and let a handful of friends play it. Another part of me once the somehow connect with an angel publisher which would give me $500,000 or so to finish the project to my vision.
Even if you make 6 figures it's a horrible place. I was and essentially living paycheck to paycheck.
This is a good thing. California is a horrible horrible place for most working class people. You will never get ahead.
That's said I completely support Apple doing this, Android is still the wild wild West of things randomly not working and iOS is usually pleasant.
I think this would be pretty cool if it would support any picture or video.
Anxiety is though the roof. I don't waste time arguing about this, but I don't use social media / online dating. It wasn't good for me emotionally.
I've still done very well meeting people.
Apps know you get an endorphin rush every time a notification comes. Even if the notification doesn't show anything relevant, it MIGHT be important so you hurry to open it.
I had to quit these apps over this, maybe some people are able to handle constant meaningless stimulation, but I can't.
I'm more into getting the stuff I want fast, and making sure it does what I want.
Now to be fair, 1,500 might be more of an outlier month, with the average month being closer to 900 or 800$.
You can forget to update your credit card number and end up dieing ?
For example I once couldn't figure out how to build a table right, and I hopped on the phone with their customer service department and they refund it half of the price of the table. The same thing happened where I had a monitor which 8 months after I purchased it started having problems, they just refunded half the price.
I'm pretty sure this only works for me because I spend at least $1,500 a month via Amazon, but even then it's business genius to operate like this. Many retailers would rather leave you out to dry, for example I purchased some shoes found they didn't fit and I was shocked when I simply couldn't return them. Guess I'll never go to that store again.
This seems like a really silly design choice
That's only possible if you are born into money. Even then he avoids giving out concrete advice. If I'm going to spend 20$ on a book I might as well read one by a billionaire.
It's very easy to Not Give a F** when you've always had rich parents to support you. As if your known to come from money you'll have no shortage of people who want to get to know you.
It's all trash anyway. The only thing that fixed my dating life was dropping 70 pounds in my 20s. Also fixed my blood sugar! Without the chronic back pain I'm happier too.
This was very hard though and took 6 months or so. I doubt ' Fix your life in 6 to 12 months by making hard choices ' would sell all that well. These books offer quick fixes which aren't practical.
But a speed filter , which outright encourages breaking traffic laws is a whole different story. Who ever greenlit this trash needs to be put in jail.
I don't really have respect for people who haven't actually accomplished anything aside from a grift. I do read books like Principals by Ray Dalio or I Love Capitalism! by Ken Langone.
Something that can be resolved via getting in contact with AWS isn't one of them. I've gotten charges refunded before.
Exactly, anyone I'm with needs to understand the difference between my money and their money. I've had no problem dating plenty of fantastic girls who have their own careers( real life only and I tend to date a few years older ). That's by far my number one priority when meeting someone, have your own life together first.
$10,000 was a random number, maybe the pre-marriage emergency fund needs to be $50,000, 100,000 ? In my mind having that money saved up says when life happens, and life will happen you'll be okay.
I'd rather toss 10k into a couple emergency fund then waste it on a ring. Most marriages collapse due to money. I recall in my younger days I was with a girl and she dragged me to Brooks Brothers. As a child of poverty and evictions I couldn't understand why anyone who need to spend this much money on a shirt.
Even making well into the 6 figures I shop at Old Navy. Hell, my favorite partner thus far was making 200k or so, and she still used an IPhone 6.
Maybe whenever I meet someone new I'll ask on the first date, would you rather have 10k saved in an emergency fund or a shinny conflict rock ? Her response will tell me everything I need to know.
Square announced the deal back in March, saying it expected to pay $297 million in a mix of cash and stock for an undisclosed majority ownership stake in Tidal, which Jay-Z and a group of other artists acquired for $56 million in 2015
Obviously Jay Z was uniquely positioned to do this, but what a good exit.
Then again, the factory worker should be able to own his or her own home. Unskilled labor is still important
Occasionally I find myself doing something stupid ( if you use Unity and try to do advance distance calculation in Update your going to have a bad time ) , but usually I never have to optimize. Modern computers might as well be magic
I'd go with whatever's easy. Issue tracking which is too rigid ends up being a burden
