Why not… put your laptop… on your lap and stay on the couch?

For what its worth an incredible bellwether metric for if a company is doing well is users saying they would pay more. It means you're either delivering overwhelming value, or massively under charging. This is what crazy VC subsidized $20 Bay Area Uber Blacks from the airport felt like in 2012.

Yes, but they didn't stop charging for it. If Azure stopped charging fees AWS wouldn't be like "I guess we're going to be free now", because running a scaled unprofitable business isn't a business. They would let Azure die (because no profit), then scoop up their users (because massive demand).

Any item or service that if it ceased to exist because people refused to pay the creators of it, would impact my life negatively if I lost access to it.

Profit is the free market showing the value of the arbitrage between a service and what consumers are willing to pay for it. "Good for consumers" is relative to how critical it is for specific users. I'm always team "find other profit" but if AWS stopped taking a cut of cloud services they wouldn't have a business.

"OS has made a ton of money to this point, just because they don’t have a long term sustained profit engine, doesn’t mean they can’t profit" How do share holders profit? How many businesses destroy their main engine of profit and survive? Where is OS a Protocol?

Just to understand the question. Does this mean currently ~35 million people would have simply had to read the book during their lifetime?

If you were cool with the sugar, you could juts marinate a whole pack of Starbursts over night in some seltzer and get the same result.

In my case I did not feel it… like I didn't get the crazy dad attachments till almost 6 months. Don't beat yourself up over it, they will come in time. It's tough until they start to react to you, but when they do you'll get it.

Assuming your partner is delivering and not a surrogate… Your whole job is support the mom. This might mean help the baby, regardless she's the boss. Everything you're stressed about, she's 10x more stressed + recovering + all her chemicals are changing + her whole body has shifted. Just get her water and shut up.

Lotta bias in the sample here. If someone took a Damien Hurst Spots circa ~2010s woodcut (right now ~$50k) and Damien said "Hey lets burn it with fire, and I'll give you an NFT of an image of it!" You would see that 95% opt for physical real quick.

I think people would broadly still want to have a way to exit a position, while maintaining some form of governance.

My 2¢ the last 5 years of single token governance was a complete failure, and future systems regardless of size will need to bifurcate value from voting. Private/invite only DAOs potentially even more so.

Appreciate this. We’re obsessed about how to move as many people into the Atrium on web and mobile to maximize the ease of participation. Our community is a lot of people’s first entry point into Web 3, and they’re used to Web 2 levels of UX.

On the way. Were actually working on a multi-channel solution to meet you where you are. Wallet notification, mobile push, cell, discord, twitter DM. Obviously you opt in. Goal is 100% community voting.

Poolsuite is for sure the most cohesive overall brand aesthetic to actual energy.
