Sometimes I'll start to notice ads for things I already use and it makes me want to use them less. I do sometimes find myself more distracted by ads in public tho

Firefox depends on google for funding and failed massively when they tried to go without them for funding. Google already controls the web.

The subtext I read in this was that opinions are more important than facts and that reporting on the poll results

It's also about driving engagement, a vibes based article about a poll will have a lot more engagement when its shared around social media. Sure you'd still have some people arguing and engaging regalardless, but a large and very vocal portion of the internet has been trained now to just ignore facts that don't fit their narrative as being funded by George Soros or similar such non-sense, they see a title like "data driven research shows economic conditions worsening in key areas" they skip over it as boring and too complicated to understand, but if they see a title saying americans "feel" a certain way, then they as an american (or someone pretending to be american) can chime in about how they personally dont feel that way and anyone who does feel that way is lazy and stupid, and then it becomes a whole chain of people doing that and others citing factual data which then gets ignored.

What if you had a multiplier for things like education or years of experience... You could say 2x for every year of experience or 4x for degrees, you'd still never come close to justifying billionaires

Its poor opsec to pay with a credit card and expect a corp to violate court orders for you.

I'm not a fan of proton but we need to educate people about this instead of shaming a faceless corp for being a faceless Corp.

Except no because that provides a false sense of security to people who don't understand how SMS works. Either you care about privacy or you dont. If you take privacy seriously you should't use sms perioid.

Typically they'd just use a price gun like this:

Dynamic pricing doesn't mean individualized pricing per person, it just means deciding to set higher prices in the locations in poor parts of town, setting prices for things like meat and fresh produce at the start of the day or week, the frequency really doesn't matter you could set prices hourly if you wanted to dedicate an employee or 2 to it.

This kind of stuff is inevitable with capitalism, in their continuing effort to make human workers obsolete and save money it makes perfect sense to replace static paper displays with digital ones. I would assume the only reason they didn't do it any soon is the up front costs.

Dynamic pricing is of course a real concern, but its not like you can't do dynamic pricing with paper labels, it just takes more effort (and so the prices will probably reflect that as they change). It's neat how we call it "dynamic pricing" now. but like when it happens in other places its called Hyperinflation, are there still some people foolish enough to think "dynamic" means it could go down also?

I'm surprised this wasn't already the case, how did patreon get an exception in the first place? I don't know anything about how apple billing with patreon works but the way this sounds is that patreon's "Legacy Billing" somehow allows creators to get around the 30% fee that is normally standard to anything on apple, and the means to enable/disable this feature is entirely in the hands of individual creators rather than patreon or apple, weird.
