6·6 天前Fuck this site and their forced redirections.
2·8 天前Company is named: “Communication Device That Was Abused for Spying, Control and Manipulation” guys… Doesn’t it raise any red flags?
…not the answer I was expecting…
What are green images in 4th row?
Great argument agianst army, healthcare, roads and bridges, electrification, police, firefighters…
“The gov that is doing its job, can stop doing its job” scary music
By that logic we should ban umbrellas.

Oh, they learned. We thought them that no one will be accountable and that the greediest will be bailed out and continue to get richer and richer. We are keeping jackals in our house, and we are giving them a pat on the head and a tasty treat every time they bite our children.
26·25 天前It’s hard to engage in a rational discussion when all you o contributed to it are insults and one line statements that basically “I don’t believe it, so it’s not true, an you are flat-erther”.

I’m sorry, you did find out that way.
Do you have a habit of insulting people that provide you something you didn’t know?
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Part of the reason why “tickets disappear” at the moment there are available for sale is because the people related to the artist or venue “buy” the portion of tickets before it even start to resale them in 2nd market for what closer to their real market value.
It’s not uncommon that popular artist don’t get a cut of the ticket, only a flat fee… that is higher than a total sell value of the tickets. Because other people in the distribution funnel would take their loses back during the resale phase.
But let’s assume it’s not a case. Just for a kick. You still have an artist that sell the tickets below their market value… and no way to close the gap. How sustainable do you think it is?
The problem is that tickets for popular artis - in general - are sold for the fraction of the actual market price. There would be enough people ready to pay 10x 20x 100x … but the artist is not “allowed” to put that price on the ticket for PR reason. He would be labeled as greedy or not a real artist. They are leaving money on the table. The inefficiencies in the ticket distributions are not accidental. Many of those are there on purpose as a way to take back some of those money - often by people and processes connected with the artist. A way to [re]sell some tickets for their [real] price.
The objective truth is that a venue sell tickets way below their value. How do you close that gap?
Raising the price of tickets SIGNIFICANTLY? Even there, there is a “moral” cap to how high you can raise those.
So the demand crushes the supply. And 2nd hand can’t close the gap. What do you do then? Lottery? Ticket only to the fastest? For people with the best connection (personal or internet)? It can’t last forever because there are people ready to buy and people ready to sell. It’ll come some fiction like “I sell a ticket for it market value, paired with this drawing of Taylor Swift I did for $1000. It’s a set” Or “I pay you to buy me a ticket - I’m too busy to do it. I’ll cover the price and your <<work>> of obtaining it separately”
The problem is complex, and in the root of it is that those tickets are simply worth more. I may not be explaining it well, but Freekonomiks have a great episode about it if you’re a podcast fan.
[Too] simple solution, to a very complex problem. This will backfire hard.
13·27 天前Hm? I feel like a lot of people said he did a lot of fucking things wrong.

I would be very cautious with min-maxing charity. It’s a path to Effective Altruism logic, which is a trap that lead to some weird trolley-problem-like eugenic-happy-pseudorationale. Stay away.

In a lifetime timeline I think that tremendous positive change could be created by teaching children recognize they emotion and regulate them. It have proven impact on… Well basicly everything. From addiction,/suicide/self-harm preventrion to things like akademic/work/artistic/cognitive performance or self-motivation or overall level of happiness. There is no area that wouldn’t improve and all those amazing people would generate amazing outcomes.

in shorter horizon, and for people who already are adults… And I think about it a lot, we should create an “audio-first learning platform”. Start with open source lectures and quality courses. Maybe ad an app that show you visuals or test only when absolutely necessary. But we need something that will easli slow you to learn WHILE, you are doing meaningless task that you need to, do to survive. Something that you can use while doing house chores, work on assembly line or as delivery person, something you can listen discreetly in your non-suportive envirement… Podcast and audio books are on massive raise. E-learnign was on a.massive raise (until they all went public or private and turn to shit in a chase for profit). There is a need and there is a demand. Technologicaly it’s very achievable. And “any phone and any headphones” is as small entry threshold one could ask for. We have the ships that could get as to the stars allredy, we just need the crew.

With a few exceptions, you’re confusing cause and effect.
Thanks.
