Similarly, really pursuing shoplifters who are dealing in the hundreds of dollars of physical goods just isn't worth it -- because a seemingly high enough number of customers aren't malicious and do pay the bill with no hassle.
It must be so if a 1-5 cent margins can translate to enough sales to cover writing off the merchandise grifters want to get a hold of as well as torching the stuff that slips past QA.
Pinterest manages it just fine. And Reddit crossposting hints at the fix: sever content from specific subreddits and instead have content be tagged with relevant subreddits and attributes. Something being paid-content would just be another tag that could be optionally filtered.
Why are you so confident you know the labor market? Why are the companies that might considering hiring this inherently be exploiting the team?
I'd like to think a handful of people would be able to spot a griftshop better than an individual and this reads to me like a variant of collective bargaining.
> Instead, build something together that you think would make a positive difference in the world.
The types of new grads who have the social connections to meaningfully act on bright ideas...shouldn't.
The difference with this is the new cohort would have better cohesion from the get-go and might stand a greater chance of dealing with cultural fusion, imposter syndrome, "am I paid appropriately" syndrome, "why shouldn't I advocate a union" syndrome, etc
Pre-history humans would live close to their dogs. There likely wasn't a conscious "I'll give this to Fido, and if they're good in a bit, I'll eat the rest". Instead, a dog grabbed some scraps here or there, before or after the meal. If still hungry, the dog might wander around looking for more scraps and munch on what they find.
Eventually, the food you know you can eat runs out during a hard winter or other crisis, but you see Fido munching on some things like he always does. Maybe you'll munch on those things too. Congratulations, you've acquired enough calories to make it to the next genetic lottery!
Assuming the crisis is bad enough for you to experiment but not so bad for you to eat Fido, Fido survives until the next genetic lottery too! And so we have yet another co-evolutionary moment folded into our genomes.
The pitch-perfect critique would've had to be "You've got some great work, but this bit here is hard to follow or outright inconsistent". Instead, they shouted him out of the profession because of the surety of their convictions.
It's depressing that gatekeeping is such a pervasive human tendency. I wish I could project myself back into the minds of these critics and giggle incessantly about how good ol' `V=IR` has been such a foundation to my world that Ohm's name is utterly inescapable...while these reviewers' dust has all but been lost to the wind.
Graduate student council programs in particular are often built as a compromise to prevent the students from forming an organization with greater efficacy.
Anecdotally, some PIs I know have had to directly contend with rising organization among students and handed out a raise and a bonus to their labs.
Because in addition to being like anything else, your data has a lifecycle in the network. Even if you as an initial provider of data lose interest in it, the network can hold onto it for their own purposes. The question of what data is important becomes decentralized and democratized. So long as at least 1 person says something is important and is willing to pay the resources to pin it, the data exists and can be utilized by any consumers.
>> it may still be in the network so long as the data is getting active use. >"Maybe" makes this essentially useless.
No, it doesn't. Computer systems are built on a long stack of maybes.
> It really doesn't.
You can't imagine it; it must not exist.
