Yearn will win because they have the best teams/partners and it appears to me they are actually scaling while remaining decentralized

Like any technology there can be lots of different inputs and outputs. I think it is safe to say that Roland and the TR808, 909, 303 changed music notation, and music forever, with their popularization of grid based music programming. It may be that Ableton is doing the same with their software. Each year the tools get better to do these sorts of creative activities. The Beatles recorded Abbey Road on a giant 4 track expensive four track owned by a record label. In 1995 I saved up my money from a summer job and bought a 4-track cassette recorder for about $500. Now you can get a four track app for you mobile phone for about $5. Or download an open source one for free.

YAY :)

Maybe this is a stupid question but how does one go about verifying the information wikileaks releases is accurate?

I assume the people who submit info are verified in some way, does wikileaks then pass on that verification info to the public or are we supposed to just trust that they are providing truthful information in an unbiased way?

Hi Jordan,

So I was hoping to get your honest opinion on a business idea I'm working on. It's a bit similar to your business I guess.

Let me know if you think this seems like total bullshit, or if it's cool.

Thanks!

Sure, what the heck.

Okay. I did it, paid my $10 bucks and waiting for an email. I actually run a much more expensive, competing service:

Branding is not some nebulous dark art. There is a process, that can be followed methodically. Each person will execute the details differently, but the gist of it will be the same. Figure out what business you are in. Find your competitors and know how you are different. Determine who your customers are, and why they should care about your business.
