    Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

    Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

    It’s also pretty fun to drive.

    Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

    It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.

    It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.

    Ad impressions pay very little on YouTube.





  • This was more or less a reflection of my personal experience.

    When I was in school, we were taught how to do research. It involves going to Libraries and looking for primary secondary and tertiary sources via the Dewey decimal system. We were taught how to use almanacs and even had an almanac competition on how fast someone can find information.

    Public institutions such as the Library system in the United States, were our “temple” of knowledge. Public support for Libraries was historically VERY high.

    However, since the popularization of search engines, it has radically reshaped our expectations of finding information. We expect to find it at our fingertip, in less than 200ms, at the cost of quality and gatekeeping institutions that filtered out a lot of junk knowledge.

    I was able to find a few articles talking about this: https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2477/2279

    I especially love the quote, “Conflation of information retrieval with knowledge”
