Tim Ferris is laughing on this one. So many intro with WealthFront for a long time...

This is why we have Monero.

Thank you fluffy pony.

Yup, a startup I invested in here in the UK at seed round just did the Delaware flip for their A.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of chainalysis.

Monero ftw.

Got a guy with my same first name and surname.

Been getting his bank statements, his amazon orders, class emails, share purchases/sales.

Its a joke.

Edit: been happening for around 5 years.

Its also entertaining at the same time to see what he's doing on another continent. I'm torn, dammit Google!

This is exactly why I forced myself to switch to FF quantum around 2 years ago.

Chrome is going downhill.

Agree, this is very sad and nostalgic.

When I was growing up in the 90s, we would keep an argos catalogue in the rest room. Sounds weird now that I'm typing this out.

Spent countless hours (over time) browsing toys and games. The novelty of each turn and then replacing the entire thing with the new one.

I also miss the little blue pens that argos and index had along with the small paper for your order submission.

The pricing on the catalogue would be in blocks so you'd have to work out the price by entering the code for the specified product into the calculator-like gadget that would rest on the counter.

Good Times. As you grow older, things like this being phased out make you realise how long it's been.

This looks excellent, I will be trying it out later today.

Reddit's redesign was an absolute catastrophy. Its sluggish and the mobile popups that direct users to app or Web is downright intrusive.

I use baconreader premium on mobile to keep my sanity.

Disclosure: I have no affiliation with baconreader app / team.

What I don't understand about the whole education sector is these massive endowments.

If they're so big and managed so well, why is there a need to charge so much in the first place?

Thank you!

Telegram is where I speak to a few close friends (groups - plenty of gifs) and my developers and VAs are on it who I talk to daily.

Not many people use SMS these days (not within my circle anyway) and anything that comes through SMS is crucial I.e my CRM goes down or there's a bug I get an SMS, which is fine.

Also, I turn all notifications off on my mobile. This puts the powers back in my hands.

Edit, notifications for SMS and phone are on, everything else, off.

I wholeheartedly 100% agree with this.

As soon as I entered the workforce @ 21 I cut out 2 things from my diet, sugar and news.

This habit has compounded so much, not saying its been 100% perfect because I still read reddit, twitter (very selective following and blocking all outlets that end up on my TL) and HN (this place is a total bubble of smart, high IQ people, I enjoy the comments here, I don't get to interact with such smart people on a day to day).

Any interesting developments will filter through my social circle, someone will bring it up.

I stopped watching TV altogether, I stream the occasional show though.

I agree, over the last week I've left my phone in my bedroom most of the day, removed my apps like brave, telegram and WhatsApp from the home screen. Just the phone, calculator and signal.

So much better, now the added step of opening an app drawer and looking for an app or searching allows me to disengage with all the constant reading.

I've subscribed to a few newsletters and leave to until the end of the day before bed or schedule some time and leave them unread.

Internet is a great tool, as long as it doesn't takeover.

Could you share the name?

I'd also suggest Baconreader premium.

Its fast and lightweight. A superb third party reddit client.

Not at all, just adding to the fact that 1) hosts were leveraged and are hurting. 2) entire companies are going bankrupt because their model is based mainly on airbnb demand.

The second order effects are catastrophic too.

Think of all the companies that built their entire business model around helping airbnb owners manage their bookings / rental

For examples,hostmaker, which was heavily advertising in London (transport mainly) has gone bankrupt (1). They raised ~24M (2)

(1) https://hostmaker.com/gb/london/ (2) https://angel.co/company/hostmaker/funding

Darwinism at it's finest.

I suspect that a lot of people jumped on the airbnb hype train and thought they could be a landlord of multiple properties and probably got leveraged.

Now they're in trouble as their income dries up.

Try using fenix, it's a fantastic mobile twitter client.

Byte.co waiting for adoption on the sidelines.

I agree with this.

I used to play condition zero (counter strike) when I was 11-12 at the same time learning frontpage and photoshop. I used to switch between them when I got tired of one.

My brother who's 14 now, is totally addicted to CSGO and the skins / box system is totally ruining the game IMO, one streamer buys a skin and all of a sudden its on fire. Gameplay is almost second now.

I've heard of people committing suicide when valve locks accounts of high value.

I never really got into half life, after cracking halo on pc with a keygen (my first every multiplayer online) and playing one game, I was hooked. But never to the peripheral stuff. Just the game itself.

Thanks. I didn't see that this was updated 10 days ago.

Now my comment has been down voted into oblivion.

All PR is good PR.

Underrated comment.

I feel as though primary/secondary doesn't define the relationship properly.

I, for one, think this is all getting ridiculous now.

Read the first paragraph then wished that the font on mobile was a lot bigger.

Amazing.

Interesting.

On mobile, Baconreader app solves all my problems. On desktop, adding old. as a sub domain takes you back to legacy reddit.
