Actually the acquisition was closed on November 24th, so it was just in 2 months

They acquired European companies in the past and did similar things (e.g. Komoot). They are in the process of acquiring Eventbrite, where a big part of the workforce is located in Spain, and the feeling is that they are going to do the same there.

It will probably take more time due to legal processes and severance packages may be better, but I don't think this is going to stop them, let's see.

Impressive. This is a cool idea.

Some improvements:

- I tried with a Spanish video, and it told me it didn't have subtitles.

- Would be supper cool to get them exported to Anki! Anyway, shouldn't be difficult to copy and paste it into Anki

From my experience, it's useful when I'm not able to concentrate on a specific task. The feeling of blocking time for a specific task is helpful for my mind to fully focus n that.

Anyway, 25 minutes is just the standard but you can use longer periods. For example, I use blocks os 1 hour where I block all my distractions, knowing that this time is just for that specific duty.

Fluent Forever book has helped me a lot with Language learning. It shows you how to learn a language mainly using flashcards, apart from other things.

I'm recommending you some things that have completely changed my experience using Anki for language learning:

- Don't use translations. Use images instead. For learning how to say dictionary put a picture of a dictionary. It will be easier to remember. Also, you usually won't find a perfect translation for a word.

- Use cloze cards for grammar. Instead of learning the rules, understand them and put four sentences with placeholders and repeat them. This process will make this way of constructing sentences stuck in your head.

I hope companies start doing this in European leagues. It's going to be difficult but I don't want to be forced to use an ISP and pay €150 per month to watch 4 matches of my team. I hope stream reduces these costs. DAZN is doing some improvements on this path, but it's still not enough.

I think it's better, at least for me, to have 4-day workweeks. I feel that much more of my productive energy is wasted during work hours. Even with 6 hours in the morning, I won't be able to focus with the same intensity for a full day for me after work.

I think this is because I mostly use my leisure time for studying or coding. I reckon that a parent would prefer 6-hour workdays to spend more time with their kids.

Always, when I see someone doing this projects I wonder how easily is to do legal stuff with projects that don't offer you a high revenue.

How do you pay taxes for a international business? Do you have to pay in every country that you have s costumer?

Also, how do you make sure everything is legal in every country that it's accessible?

Haven't you have problems with emojis emails? They are supported everywhere?

I'm pretty excited about this Intel P chips of the 12th generation. It's seems they are going to be a good competitor for M1 for the Linux world. At least, benchmarks show good numbers, we'll see.

> Secondly, on the topic of social media making people feel insecure about something (like their bodies). Isn’t that everywhere? At the beach? In magazines? On TV? At parties? In school?

The thought that I have overcome about this is that SM is different from the examples that you gave. In magazines or TV, you assume that is going to be filled with "non-real" people (esthetic surgeries...), but at the end of the day, you will be surrounded by people like you.

At parties, school, or at the beach, yes you can find some perfect people, but the vast majority are going to be just normal people like you.

SM is different for that, you are comparing every nuance of you with an adulterated version of normal people (just people like you, not famous people). Personally, SM makes me feel that everybody except me has an ideal life and I know that's not true.

I don't like the "social" aspect of social media, I like the "media" part though. I like to follow photographers, use to follow some type of hobby, but not to see people's life.

Edit: typo

Seems very similar to 2020 Europe (at least Spain)
