It was the end of Digg, when Digg tried to comply with Sony's request to take down some leaked Sony key. All Digg users were commenting/posting the keys everywhere. Many migrated to Reddit thereafter. About 17 years ago, I think.

But to the accounts department, it is cheaper and rightly so?

Adding further to the confusion in Urdu speaking areas when the cousin/mothers' relatives becomes your wife?

I agree with the point you are trying to make, but Google Search + Email was not a small company. I remember Gmail Beta, Google was already known world over and definitely not a 'small' company.

Can we downvote? This guy can't comprehend that with consistent good work, there will be network effects where in you get bigger value clients/projects?

From the article:

///

Most notably, the company enjoyed a generous infusion from Japanese investment firm SoftBank, which injected a whopping $375 million into the startup in 2018. By the end of its lifespan, Zume had raised as much as $445 million.

They actually nearly raised half a bil.

They will do the same to Figma.

Macromedia, Halo 2 / CE split screen parties. Peak America! Miss the time I had with my friends playing split screen.

The latter.

Walks have known to 'jog' the brain. Einstein did it all the time.

Cindy Crawford looks odd: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d5cc5f_9477f35409954b6386...

Also, globalization and instant communication has ensured in many field, salaries stagnate due to cheaper labour from elsewhere. Similar to hardware manufacturing jobs.

Yikes! My bad.

You must understand that twitter is rewarding views/conversation to 'creators' via subscription. You must have noticed an uptick of blue tick accounts who drivel lame information but packed to stroke a conversation. This way they get payouts from twitter creator program due to engagement and impressions.

The blue tick also puts them on top of conversations; this is now used by Russians to create divisions in democracies with paid and useful idiot(s) accounts. For Elon, who is living in a selfish bubble, that is free speech and he keeps reposting conspiracy theorist.

In short, the whole platform is going to the gutter. Being a champion of the Internet from the late 90's, I can't believe where we are at now and how non-scientific fervor has grabbed every aspect of discourse (anti vax, flat earth, soros/gates, Q/Pizza/MAGA, etc).

Central bank comparison is farfetched here.

While this may not be available to everyone right now, I am using a service from Finland https://www.hei.io/ to help me auto generate subtitles and "AI" voiceover.

Upload youtube link/video, Generate eng subs. Fix english subs manually, auto generate subs into any of the popular languages (we have req. for Asian langs.). Manually fix the auto-generated asian subtitle from minor errors. Reupload it and get perfect true "AI" Voiceover. All AI voice over services will have errors in translation/meaning. If you want quick job, this does it. If you want accurate job, manually fix the subs created by such services.

Anyways, what used to take us 2 weeks, takes us a day or two.

This is a very interesting chain of events. All European exploitation was cruel and history was written by victors. With China and India rising, a lot of the shenanigans are going to come out and made common knowledge. Right now, history is heavily tilted towards the western story.

Maybe this came from evolution. Requirement for a recordkeeper before writing was prelevant?

Reddit banned my 17-year-old account as I was reporting all the scammy/crypto ads as misinformation. I didn't comment or post anything that would be considered a TOS / Policy violation, but they still banned my account under that. I asked for a review from the admin, and they replied that their decision is final and that I should look at the Content Policy and not violate it but never giving me the exact reason / policy violation.

Why invest your time/effort into any ecosystem which doesn't have a proper redressal mechanism?

I am not contributing to reddit anymore, I think as with all entities/companies/empires they are past their prime and they are on the down. I remember when a lot of users jumped ship from Digg to Reddit, I wish another entity comes along which is better than reddit.

Thiel, Elon, Sacks, Chamath - A pattern is emerging.

2009, not even 2011. Agree with your statement.

I concur with your assessment.

I have seen so many pro-Russian bot accounts with blue verified symbol. These accounts also get priority on their replies, which are positioned at the start of the tweet conversation compared to non-blue / non paying twitter handles, giving them a bigger amplification.

Whenever I see blue tick accounts now, I notice most of them have <1000 followers and have no authority in the subject matter and I ignore most of them. I have noticed a lot of right-wing handles, all having the blue tick and getting priority on spreading their misinformation as it was in this case.

Elon has broken the verified system on purpose to fit his new anti-government / anti-"woke" agenda.

I remember google desktop search. It was amazing, even today's win 11 search doesnt come close. So something snappy like that with LLM will be perfect.

Turkey can take only a certain tonnage of vessels, anything which is above 10,000 LDT (Weight of ship in tonnes) is sent to the Sub-Continent. As ships grew bigger, ship recycling shifted from EU to Asia due to labor costs, ship size and environmental factors.

You haven't not seen the bottom part of a rig then. In Alang, on high tide, the rigs are beached as close to the shoreline as possible. Please don't provide misinformation with assumptions.

I thought NS1 was in use.

Yea, what you say makes sense then.

Tech industry is the last of their worries. They killed their own future in multiple verticals and industries.

My theory is the Russians blew up NS1 / NS2 to cause pain to the EU over the winter and gain an advantage to show that EU needs them. With increased gas price and inflation, they were hoping the EU citizens would protest and decrease support towards Ukraine. Fortunately, the winter was not too cold this time and gas consumption was lower than previous year usage.

(NS1 & 2 = Nord Stream 1 & 2)

Classic Russian playbook. Lame propaganda.
