  • Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
  • Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.

Something in IT is great, I think, and will be applicable to such a variety of fields and allow you to pivot in your career. Once you're progressing in your career, well, I've seen or heard of people making surprising shifts. So much learning for various jobs is really institutional anyways and will happen on the job. Just make sure you learn to well, learn. Always be playing with and learning new tools and processes and be adaptable. For instance, you could start out a developer and find out you like managing projects on your team and finding ways to make things more efficient and wind up a project manager who also understands what your team is talking about and working on.

Agreed. Travel if you can when you're young, or just make sure to not have kids or put it off a while so you can get to a more money-making part of your career and can afford it more without being tied down by children.

+1 on water flossers! I got a Smile brand one because it was a decent price and it works great.

So launched on and, well, I can't quite remember the last time a game launched on Steam with a score of 11% satisfaction. Usually when it drops below 75% you have to ask yourself what's wrong with the game.

cutitdown,

@sorg There's a lot to dislike and even loathe about how Blizzard has handled Overwatch, but I can't deny that the bones of the game are still there and it's still a pretty fun and unique game.

Do you mean other instances of kbin, or other fediverse sites?

Consumer spending in general is actually still quite strong, but the growth has slowed a bit.

I don't think the author is saying this necessarily should or shouldn't be the case. The authors who wrote the paper he's referring to just set out to answer the question based on their constitutional knowledge and this is the conclusion they came to. They aren't even left wing either, these are Federalist Society associates.
