i've been seeing this trend lately. it's not limited to the crypto niche. i've seen other ways they were trying to hijack people's identity to sell whatever thing they're trying to promote

edit: also there was an instance in the past where my account got disabled and it took me months to get my account get reactivated again. the first issue is that they have a huge backlog of other people they are assisting. so you need to find a way around that

> the first issue is that they have a huge backlog of other people they are assisting. so you need to find a way around that

If that is true, that is a deep cut against their account security.

oh nice this is pretty cool like the apple hide my email

good to know ill try to look for some apps and see how it goes i used to have an android which was awesome at this, when i switched to ios not so much

Thanks for that advice, yeah i should've done this sooner

I've taken a lot of courses on story writing / telling. I still suck at it

There are fundamentals in story writing / telling. Depends on the medium you are using. You prob know all of this.

So, one thing that I've noticed is that people who are actually good at this is that they do it as their main passion. So, practice and see how others are doing it. Also get feedback. Telling stories is not a passive activity

Reading about what makes a good story was somewhat interesting to me and i thought just reading and knowing about it would make me better. If you don't do the thing that makes you better and just read about it's prob a passive activity

Btw, people I know who really loves stories wether sharing or writing can consume over 150 fiction books a year. Doing 100 a year was already insurmountable for me, so I gave up on that.

We're any of the courses you took worth recommending?

It all depends on the product, designers, market, product owners, marketing team, and target audiences

Some products would have different funnel for the lifecycle of their product. Sometimes it might make sense to do one thing for a specific funnel and might not on a different context.

However, that assumes we are making decisions based on data.

Sometimes a team / company can will make decisions even if it is not optimal in terms of conversations because that's what they feel like doing.

Good luck getting a C8. The wait list is long.

Thanks man, yeah I spoke with a dealer. It seems somewhat easier now since people are waiting for the z06. But, still the dealership charging way over the msrp is still a big issue

Author's opinion is subjective and falls under selection bias. There's a lot of famous people that don't use wired headphones

For the wireless argument, here is mine.

I use an airpods pro. I also have multiple high end headphones. I only apple os with wireless. If I was using linux, android, windows then I have to use my other headphones, since my bluetooth always have issues with wireless using other os.

The airpods pro is probbably my favourite headphones that I have. I use it 95% of the time

The only time I use wired headphones is if I need to use my amp when I really need/want to listen to the quality of something or if im using non apple os.

Wires are a pain in the a$% for me personally and ironically more fragile than my airpods pro. It's hard to move around with wires and they tangle a lot wether if im wearing them or not.

The airpods pro are small and you can have noice cancelling, transparency, and normal mode. The only downside is I have to charge them every 5~ hours.

They connect to my phone, and my 3 computers easily without unhooking the wires.

The only annoying thing about the airpods pro is that people don't know that i have something in my ear because my hair is long and I am listening to something. When they are trying to start a conversation I usually can't hear them.

The only time they fall out of my ears is if im cleaning the house cause im moving my head around too much. They don't even fall when I'm working out or running

Please point me to an opinion that is not subjective.

Lol, I always liked that line.

People like what they like. Forcing it just does not go well, unless the reasons are really good.

I was, and am seriously put off by the omission of analog audio jacks. Most of the reasons given just do not resonate and sometimes it is stated or strongly implied I am somehow the problem.

I'd guess it is tribalism at work. Different opinion -> Not my tribe.

That seems part of it for sure. Orthodoxy is mixed in there for sure as an underline on tribalism.

Our strong emphasis on individualism suggests more is in play. Deal with it, grow up, etc..

Individualism is a very young phenomenon i think.

Likewise. My son and I both ditched iPhones when Apple took away the headphone jack. How else are we supposed to use our phones to listen to music in our cars? (My car's bluetooth only works for phone functions, not music, and my son's doesn't even have that option).

I've connected a cheap (~15€) Bluetooth audio receiver to the Aux-In. No phone functionality, but I always ignore calls and texts while driving (and some of the time not driving) anyways

I did try that, but the quality was dreadful and it's just something else needing recharging/eating batteries.

The decision to drop a universally supported headphone jack really doesn't make any sense unless you are trying to force people to buy your expensive wireless ear-buds, (which I can't wear because they are uncomfortable and fall out of my ears within seconds).

Same. The quality is just not there.

Even a cassette adapter beats BT.

When I rent newer cars, which I do frequently, I am amazed at the diversity of general conbobtwinkulating required to connect, looking hard at you Dodge, and quality, latency is never worth the hassle.

End up just using earbuds every time.

There is a BT cassette adapter, believe it or not. Tried it an old Audi we had that still had a deck in it. It worked but the charging cable couldn’t stay plugged in while cassette was loaded, and if you left it in car in cold temps of course battery would turn to rubbish pretty quickly. However, it’s awesome that this exist[s/ed]. I thought there must be a way for some bright engineer to get the thing to gen power from the rotation of the tape reels and just dump the need to charge as often or at all.

Neat device. Too bad about it being BT.

I really hate BT.

The form factor and noise cancelling aspects of the airpod have nothing to do with it being wireless though. Wired phones could have those things too.

You're right in theory. In practice that either means a battery in the headphones and/or a new audio cable. I'm sure this has been tried before. It seems like something Sony would try--maybe Lighting headphones would count?

I guess Airpods Max would count?

>The only downside is I have to charge them every 5~ hours.

I mean that sounds like a pretty major downside. Maybe when this becomes "I have to charge them every 5 weeks" they might be more appealing.

Your opinion is subjective and only makes use of andecdata.

> Author's opinion is subjective and falls under selection bias. There's a lot of famous people that don't use wired headphones

That's pretty obvious. The article gave that for granted (actually, it even explicitly acknowledged it) and put the spot on famous or not so famous people going the other way round. They will be always be a minority and guided by fashion/aesthetics rather than comfort, but it was worth (or not) to point it out.

They are a data warehouse with analytics? So data warehouse as a service in the cloud?

So they can collect data from different places like sql, images, etc. I think a better question would be what type of data can't they ingest?

Once you have your data i guess you can run some analytics to find out what your data tells you

A data lake can be home to many different data formats e.g. parquet, AVRO, Thrift, protobuf, ORC, HDF5S, CSV, JSON all co-existing together. Spark lets you create a virtual abstraction over all of this, and query it as though it was a homogeneous database. There's no need to import data into a centralized format and schema.

This really all ties back to the "old" Hadoop days, and is an evolution of compute over data not in a fixed and managed format/schema.

I'd like to add some points: Ive used Snowflake for several years. Snowflake works with structured and semi-structured data (think spreadsheets and JSON). I've never tried working with pics or videos - and I'm not sure it would make sense to do that.

I've evaluated Databricks. It works with the above mentioned structured and semi-structured data. I also suspect it could process unstructured data. My understanding is that it runs Python (and some others), so you can do any "Python stuff, but in the cloud, and on 1000s of computers"

Databricks used to be an Apache Spark as a service company. And Spark is a predominantly Scala code base. PySpark is just a Python binding for the real engine popular in ML circles. In the last couple of years the Databricks platform migrated from open-source Spark to a new proprietary engine written in C++.

You're referring to PySpark, which still does all the heavy lifting in the JVM.

Was it warren that said investing money on people is the best investment?

i can kinda see how coding bootcamps are exploiting this

in my case when i have to occasionally financially support my siblings so that they can have better employment opportunities, those seems to be more rewarding for me personally even if i never see that money again. i dont think id invest money on strangers unless i get a crazy roi like some bootcamps
