How many years do you have to go back to find 1 company that is on par with a dropbox or airbnb

i feel like if you went back 5 years it would be hard to even find more than 1-2 companies that has achieved a moderate level of mainstream success in the same way

It’s not just that because social platforms have the ability to easily uprank content they want people to see which is entirely the point here.

There’s a story every few weeks of a kid who saw some challenge on tiktok and copied it and ended up dead.

I find it really interesting how being against a ban is the "freedom" argument when the person who is most responsible for championing this ban is the whole Palantir gang led by Keith Rabois's partner.

The 60 minutes episode last year (?) insinuated that the CCP's main goal is social disorder eg they heavily restrict the Chinese version for kids to be education oriented where the American version is basically all ages softcore porn and ragebait.

the more outwardly successful someone is by modern standards (ceo, celebrities, other powerful people) the more likely it is they are ethically compromised in some way

you don't reach the top without screwing over a lot of people along the way

There’s 50M-60M people between California and NYC.

At this point making “mid six figures” hardly makes you rich. You don’t have to be the top 1% to see a tax rate higher than the one you stated.

Point is arguing that Americans are low taxed when the highest paying jobs are concentrated in high tax states and cost of living is much higher ignores reality for many Americans who pay as much or more than Europeans.

Anyone living in California or NYC and making mid six figures and up is easily paying more than German tax rates then. You’re paying almost 50% around high six figure range.

I’ve never quite understood why people think the US is a low tax country.

Eh disagree. Holmes got more than 10 years but she didn’t even try to profit by selling shares or borrowing against shares to buy a bunch of things. The scale of the financial fraud is enormous and on top of that they spent hundreds of millions of it on luxury items and influence peddling.

Would be shocked if he got less than Holmes.

There’s a second trial around the same time for all the illegal political donations he made.

I think no less than 20 years but not sure about life either.

SBF did not do himself any favors with his smug attitude that caused the judge himself to scold him several times during his examination. If he was a little more remorseful I could’ve seen some more leniency but the Judge did not like his attitude from what I could read following his testimony.

Why are you unironically using data from FB themselves?

I wasn't presenting myself as a subject matter expert. I'm speaking as an individual who has lived through the evolution of social media and can see how and why Instagram and TikTok are as addictive as they are.

There absolutely needs to be more research done in this area. Hoping this lawsuit will shine more light on the connection between mental health, concentration issues, and social media.
