What does that even mean? 972 is a local Israeli outfit, with contributors from Israel and Palestine. They have sources within the IDF, sources who may be center-left leaning and are "done" with how the far-right coalition is running this war and they are blowing the whistle on this practice.

anti-gambling commercials are a joke. "gambling problem? calls this number"

would much rather hear gambling commercials focus on fact that 97% of people lose money by telling / showing stories of real people who thought they had an edge and kept losing money until they had to get into a rehab program or lost it all.

same goes for modern day options trading, crypto trading, etc.

A friend of mine spent ended up spending 9 months in the Google pipeline for a PM role. During the early phases of the cycle (1 month in) he received and accepted an offer at Capital One and joined as a PM. Spent 7 months at Capital One while still interviewing for Google, and then managed to get an offer and team placement.

Surprised it took that long, but he's happy he stuck w the Google process.

dotcom was a completely different situation. VC money flowed to companies that had no meaningful revenue. FAANG, on the other hand, are printing billions of dollars per month.

This is fantastic, and the pricing for "lifetime" is nearly a no brainer.

Here are some additional ideas for ways to generate revenue:

* $100-$200 one time guided setup consulting, where someone spends 30-minutes with me on zoom to get data setup the right way, talk through data analysis process, talk through simulation and projections, etc. * Marketplace to connect me with financial advisors who know your software, align with your approach to financial planning, and can help me with next level optimization.

Nice work!

1a - build trust specifically with IIT aspirants who, even if they don't get into IIT, will hold amazon in high regard and consider amazon for employment down the line.

3. get data / insight / early access to top level test takers and build a recruiting funnel before these students start college.

the key to his success is honing his craft via side projects, sharing these ideas often, having a quick and easy tooling to publish ideas, pushing to prod and sharing these ideas. thats the key to success. the MKBHD pickup is just the recognition of the skill honed through this process.

When Minority Report and 1984 combine. Absolutely chilling.

The leaked reports present a master plan for managing mass internment, including details on how to “prevent escapes.” This proves, in the Chinese government’s very own words, that detainees are held in the camps against their own will.

If you wonder why Hong Kong civilians are risking their lives to resist Beijing, this is the reason.

H1-B is a form of servitude. As a product manager who lead a team of primarily H1-B engineers at a large bank in DC area, the most challenging thing I saw from my H1-B colleagues was how the H1-B visa essentially forces really talented and amazing engineers from venturing off to more interesting opportunities at smaller companies who do not have the money or legal team to support H1-B employees.

My former colleagues are all limited by their employment opportunities and could really only go to a handful of very very large firms that would sponsor their visa's. It limits their employment opportunities and it limits their mobility.
