By far the worst messaging app is @WhatsApp. My account has been restricted four times in the last two weeks. Without any explanations (not even after the review).
Every time I had to wait for hours to get unbanned, it delayed my whole work.
Unfortunately in Brazil, Whatsapp is more than a messaging app, it has become a social & business infrastructure. Everyone uses it, every restaurant, employee, client and even your family.
You simply can't use another service, only if you want to be excluded from society and business.
I recolored the same chart to make the legend color more realistic and common sense
15C/59F in blue, 25C/77F in yellow, 35C/95 in red
Looks quite different and less scary huh?
Software will proliferate just as videos, music, writing did.
The market structure will shift from a “fat middle” to mega-aggregators and a long tail.
It’ll be a slower process due to network effects, but many traditional vendor lock-ins will get eaten by AI.
In 1959, Fidel Castro promised to redistribute Cuba's wealth and create equality for all. Within a decade, the island that once exported sugar and cigars to the world couldn't even keep its own lights on. The wealthy fled, but instead of their riches trickling down to the poor, everyone just became equally poor together.
The revolucionarios had calculated that seizing the means of production would mean seizing prosperity itself. What they discovered instead was that prosperity isn't sitting in some vault waiting to be redistributed—it's created daily by millions of voluntary exchanges, investments, and entrepreneurial risks. When you abolish those mechanisms, you don't redistribute wealth; you redistribute poverty.
Today's politicians make the same mathematical error Castro did: they see inequality and assume it represents a fixed pie that just needs better slicing. They never ask why some pies grow while others shrink, or why the countries promising equality most loudly seem to deliver scarcity most efficiently.
The cruel irony is that the only truly "equal" outcome socialism reliably produces is making everyone equally worse off than they started.
@NewsAndLeaksBR Seguindo essa lógica também não podemos falar dos influenciadores que divulgam jogo do tigrinho, mostrando pra milhares de pessoas que elas podem sim ficar ricas jogando.
All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job.
They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.
@skarly@levelsio I had that also when I was taking in the morning before workout. Changed brand (also creapure, but this brand the powder is more thin). I take it before sleep, after eating with 2 cups of still water.
Ive also learned that coffee is a bad choice after creatine.
