    TLDR; Guy performed at festival where they had pay-by-bracelet, spent 30m figuring it out how to add money to buy a beer. Turned out beer was free backstage. You have been saved fr…

    This is a tough one to make sense of - are they just getting killed by reddit on one side and tiktok on the other and cashing out? Anyone have any insight? (also anyone know the pu…

    Having worked in warehouses back in the day, I (and probably anyone) can tell you that it is not a glamorous job, most of the time you are working in a tough environment and often …

    This may be a case of “too little too late”. These guys are trying to become too big to fail. I think good publishers can be a good thing .. but only if they understand the new rea…

    I have to say, Om Malik is great, but that entire article just says “I like San Francisco and even though others have left, I am staying because I like it and have been here for a …

    Interesting, it hadn't occurred to me, but of course between Zoom meetings and getting way more informal, this is gonna be a rough spot for them. Paywalled - so here's the takeaway…

    I'm surprised they didn't use the remnants of Google+ to create a reputation system. It would be a good thing, we'll see if they follow his advice sooner than later.

    More consolidation, but probably belated. The publishers are hoping to survive by making themselves big enough. Ironically, I think good publishers are a good thing, if they figure…

    It’s paywalled - here’s the TLDR: They are starting to raise at a reported valuation of $70-$100B, but no one has paid this yet, reporting is preliminary. Their last private valuat…

    The cap is high to begin with, but later they will begin to lower it and increase the cost. At this point, based on examples of other cable companies and wireless providers, it is …

    Can anyone with real knowledge of the subject corroborate or dispute this? Genuinely interested. The article makes a lot of sense, and if true, disputes the popular narrative. But …

    Yeah - they said that.. but then they had the whole $629k+ in the actual ask in the suit.. there is either more in addition, or they don't "accept" the pay-back (or just trying to …

    We tried working with it and this isn't really a thing - the support is non-existent, the documentation is lacking. When contacted, they admitted that the only apps published using…
