The mainstream audience was young and open to new ideas. Folks could create new things that impacted the culture at large and in that way punch above their weight class. In NYC, people could create art movements that would live for the next 50 years. Sort of like the way kids could create new technology in a garage in Silicon Valley in the 70s, or a dorm room in the 00s. It was a time in culture where the doors were open and you could have profound impact. The doors closed again, so people look back and have an appreciation for what was possible and what became and perhaps long for it again.

I took a first date to Synecdoche, New York and we didn't have a second (good film though).

Some people want to create. Some people want to consume. Some people want to collect. Sometimes consumables become collectible (Baseball cards). Sometimes collectibles become consumable (Mona Lisa postcards). Creators are allowed to decide who their market is and adjust as they see fit.

It sounded like they were willing to remove the mods and let the forums pick new ones

Imagine if billionaires had the same _effective_ tax rate we do. That would be helpful enough.

RMX Party | VPE | New York (NYC), NY | REMOTE | Fulltime | https://rmxparty.com/vpe

Remix Party is a team of product-obsessed hackers and crypto-enthusiasts building a new way to create and seamlessly mint memes on the blockchain. We’re creating a viral game as a launchpad to an open meme-gen tool focused on creator ownership, royalties, and metadata/provenance. We aim to build a new protocol for nft-based memes, where creators are the largest benefactors from their creations, perpetually.

We are looking for an experienced product development leader who is excited by the potential of this space. Must be comfortable with leading decision-making in the face of uncertainty, communicating with the team, and executing. We are looking for a partner, a player-coach and an eternal student.

It'd be pretty novel and refreshing if Apple competed for developer buy-in for payments on features and functionality.

Seems like the unspoken story here isn't really about Apple, it's that the govts of the world want access to your phone data and its backups. They're already getting some of it from exploits, telcos and the cloud. They'll be back and will keep coming and it's hard to imagine any company will have the ability to stand up to them without seriously impacting their business.

Am I nuts, or is the heart of this issue really the fact that our healthcare system is built on tying benefits to full time jobs?
