I was on Refind (until they went paid) and now I'm on OneNote. I take notes in OneNote as well so I think this works out well. I wish their Chrome Extension works a bit better though (some sites are difficult to capture as an Article).
I have had the extension be pretty slow in the past, especially on weak devices. But I do like the syncing backend of OneNote (works pretty well), I just wish the whole 'notebooks' setup was a little looser - it's pretty restrictive.
yeah, I think the competition is looking for tech like the one opengarden had, something of a mesh network where people are connected thru bluetooth and wifi (direct), etc.
I think it would've been more convincing, if the study was able to show the splits down non-/geekie parents (or by parent's occupation). My dad's an engineer and he's very geekie for his generation, growing up I always wanted to be like my dad. When I was 12, I'm sure I would've scored high on the geekiness index.
I'm sure they will do promoted jobs. But I wonder if this is more of a defensive move against job related ads that are stagnant - they're trying to do something similar to what they did with the hotel booking: to encourage higher all around bidding from the ecosystem on ads (or find new revenue stream) by putting competition on the intermediaries (ota) that were outbidding the orignators (hotels) for keywords about the originators.
Its a reasonable question: a lot of these articles (which I dont necessarily disagree with otherwise) uses phrases like this one does:
"raised a record $144M" and "raising 9-digits cash"
Which isn't true. They raised 0 USD, and selling whatever the equivalent of ETH they did raise would likely crash the value significantly, such that they'd never see $100M+.
If they sold slowly, and if ETH value stayed relatively stable during that time, and if the exchanges were reliable for large, frequent withdrawls, and if all of this didn't raise huge red flags with the banks and governments in their jurisdictions, there might be something to it. That's a lot of ifs.
Another question: how can they even "cash out" from the legal standpoint? Surely tax authorities will be interested in those millions of dollars "out of nowhere". It's possible to "stay under the radar" with small sums (e.g. buying your groceries with "BTC credit card"), but surely not with millions, right?
I agree. Plus, I don't think this is differentiated from other flagships. Some people will like it others won't and I'm not sure if there is a moonshot in there to justify $300m.
