Twitch.tv channels are like 50/50 right now. Some are ok, some aren't. Basically all Riot Games (League, Valorant, TFT) are down, dunno about LoR.
? He definitely made a ton of money, probably most of the money Mixer was investing in their entire launch, and now he's completely free to triumphantly return to Twitch (or take another deal). I'm not sure how going to…
They bought it after it had already established its market presence. They have tried to launch at least 2 of their own, and both flopped hard.
Ninja, the biggest (English-language) video game streamer in the world, just posted yesterday that he's deleting TikTok for these concerns. I'm not going to get into whether or not this actually makes sense, but he is a…
I strongly agree. This extends to reddit as well. Whenever it comes up, there is the overwhelming consensus of "I love WFH/dumb middle-managers are wasting everyone's time to feel useful". And while I agree there is…
Double benefit in that it might encourage others to help too.
I can easily believe it. I believe there was another famous pre-crypto version of this run by a guy... Madoff or something? I wonder how that's going today.
Reading the article, the trick here is exploiting a loophole that exists specifically within private healthcare. The doctor part owns/is associated with an "out-of-network" lab where the tests were sent. Healthcare…
>Rather than people just demanding non-insane private healthcare There is no such thing. A free market for healthcare will end up with people being trapped or simply lacking access. The entire concept of insurance is…
Can you buy Amazon products anywhere except Amazon? I feel like this would be more legitimately "anti-competitive" if these products were available in all sorts of places (like most of Amazon's merchandise). But the…
>Chelsea Manning was the anonymous whistleblower Manning was a spiteful security leak, not a whistleblower.
>the crying software engineers Just like to point out that that NYT hit piece didn't actually interview any software engineers IIRC.
>Wait why aren’t we building more apartments again? Have you seen the Seattle skyline in the last 4 years? Lol. I feel like this is a canned rant of yours that doesn't necessarily have a basis in this actual situation.
It forces real-time immediate interaction and discussion rather than dealing with people that have varying levels of understanding and who may or may not have bothered to actually read the whole thing. And it forces all…
It's hard to scale up individual institutions and maintain quality. What needs to happen is a broadening of the definition of "top schools". The issue is that a "top school" is a definition inherently limited in size.…
Kinda looks like p-hacking. They ran calculated the p-value for a bunch of different criteria until they found one that was "statistically significant" (in this case gender, specifically just one gender). The issue is…
>One of the arguments in favor of the electoral college is that it boosts the voice of people who are in areas with lower population density Why should people get more say because they live more spread out? Why do 100k…
No, the difference with Gmail is that email doesn't require a network effect to be useful. If I'm the only one on G+, it is pointless. If I'm the only one on Gmail, it's just as useful as if everyone I know is on Gmail.
Not disagreeing with you, but you can visit the NYT website as much as you want in incognito mode.
He accepted donations from one of the most important and legitimate interest groups (or rather, just people that work for them) in his state, against an opponent that was also freely accepting them. I'm almost as…
He was almost a victorious Senate candidate in Texas, and it's no coincidence that the other person with the most was his opponent. Context matters.
>Hiding revenue is something multi-national corporations do really well. I thought it was profits that were easily hidden. Hiding revenue seems like it would be very difficult.
I think any connection to "royalty" or anointed status is secondary and completely tied to individual executives and their performance (or at least reputation). What is true is the myth of individual efficacy. That a…
My real point is that there is no such thing as a "useless" service. It is a completely subjective distinction. At what point do cars become "too luxurious"? Either we have a fully managed economy (which I'm pretty sure…
>The reason "auxiliary" workers get a raw deal... is because they are something of a commodity. It's low-skill work that is managed in bulk and individuals can be replaced with little friction. The core IT work is in…
