exactly. covid basically ushered in "globalization" for skilled (or even unskilled) workers. now I'm much more open to think hiring 50% of my dev teams in places like Estonia or Mexico compare to just 5 years ago.

Supply is artificially controlled by voters who don't want density to increase, masked behind preservations, environmental concerns or just plain corruption

Just use stripe...

Don't keep 400k cash in stripe, the merchant account is not a damn bank.

Neovim and the whole Lua plugin ecosystem. It's so so good.

Been using vim for 10 years+, converted configs to Lua and modulized everything. Amazing rework on a piece of technology as old as computers.

wonder if there is a cologne / perfume version of this smell

help me build my business as an mentor/advisor? Not kidding here.

OP I'm in the exact boat. I'm in my 30s, been in startups for the entire time. Although I'm a go getter and very resourceful individual, I feel like I've made every single mistake that may have been avoided if I talked to someone that was in my shoes before.

That being said I don't regret anything at all.

If you're looking for someone to trade notes I'd happy to hop on a call and see where it goes.

ads market will always be a cat/mouse game, a wild goose chase. you'll never be able to kill it fully.

> the people making the good content don't do it for the money

citation needed. there're two driving forces:

- money

- clout

they're interchangeable. if you have one the other becomes much easier to obtain. if the writer don't do it directly for the money, they're most definitely doing it for the clout.

the only fix is to "pay what you can for good content"

Free means we the users become the commodity.

Agree completely with this.

There's really only two driving forces in online creative activities:

1) money

2) clout

RSS is a terrible medium for both.

The beta chimps are the shareholders and the board.

I'll add an unsolicited neutral third party voice in here.

Bad settings make good people do bad things.

Crypto made her and sbf make many small dumb decisions which added up to a huge dumb decision.

Lots of their code is in Go

On your last paragraph that's how human raised kids for the first 10k+ years. In small groups of multigenerational settings.

Only in the last 100 (maybe even less, say 60) or so years we've started to say fk that, when I retire I want to be on a beach and not taking care of my grandkids.

You're precisely talking about the impossible trilemma.

the gold standard was abolished to due it's volitile nature, compared to stability of a fiat like the USD. Bitcoin being a volitile commodity itself, it will not be able to run the global economy on-top of it.

Have rich parents and a trust fund that takes care of your day to day money problem.

there's clear case of defrauding investors AND creditors. that's more than $2B + $8B disappeared into the void.

That make sense then. In north America more than half of the games are on the road hundreds of miles away. Typically it's the home crowd that shows up.

Do you typically have opposing teams in a stadium in EU/UK?

In NA it's typically all home team crowd, either you're all happy together celebrating the win or all sad together mourning a loss.

Just waiting for the day when the robot decides we are also a weed.

Alameda got called by their creditors on their loans because cz of binance have been slowly liquidating FTX position for the past year and half.

Market paniced when alameda attempted to buy all remaining FTX from Binance, at $22. Probably because Alameda has loans that would be liquidated under that price.

A Bank run materializes, and the rest is history.

sure, no forced sterilization.

just nation level apathy on child mortality in lower class citizens.

carving out alone time is absolutely the most important part of having a healthy balanced energy level.

we're so connected now, being full on extrovert might mean we're spending 16h+ a day engaged with other people, giving away our attention.

realize what's happening and dial it up or down based on your personal limits.

For example, there's no need to spend 8h with coworkers in meetings and then spend another 4h+ out hanging out after work at a bar every single day. I see it a lot at conferences and the toll is very obvious, even the most extroverted people gets burned out after a week long conference.

hard code the random variables so that outcome is predictable.

yes that's one way of looking at globalization, advanced economies export expensive and stable currencies to less advanced parts of the world in exchange for labor.

That's the early 20s century model perfected by the Brits.

Obviously it didn't last long but at least it made sense.

Apple isn't stupid enough to go all out on ads. At the core, they're still a "premium" product company that sells $450 pair of headphones because it plays nice with their other $1000+ products.

All they need to do is release a new peripheral and it's a $10-15B per year business in 5 years.

It's just simply way too expensive to make things in America.

We can build all the $B factories we want in the rust belt but shareholders will move it to places like Mexico at the first sign of profit.

I'm seeing a real flow of software jobs to mexico too in the coming decades.

Imho this is bias as some commenters have pointed out. Most if not all public posts are complaints.
