I thought this article is a great example of how services don't need to overcomplicate their tech stack. Using simple tools and focusing on GTM is so much better than adding complexity. I'm a big fan of Levels and what they have cooking over there.

Thanks for sharing, it was a good read!

I currently use a latest-gen iPad Air.

I used the iPad Pro before the redesign for school.

Currently a lot of my friends use the device as a second screen because they're always traveling. Secondly, many content creators use it as a portable workstation because it works really well for certain types of editing. I personally prefer Lightroom on an iPad to the one on the computer. Lastly, it's my favorite media consumption device. I've been thinking of turning in my iPad Air for the newest iPad Pro because I want the improved screen.

This is really nice. I'd actually love it as a screensaver/background.

Can you please speak to some examples of these in game strategies that are illegal in real life when it comes to trading?

Infiltration, espionage, sabotage, and manipulation of rivals, partners, and other key influential entities. If that fails or seems ineffective threaten/harass/assault (it helped that there was always a fleet of nerds with digital spaceships to call upon heh).

One example would be having an "alt" character be accepted into a rival group, and then just monitor their private chats and asset listings (through that API) for any opportunities to act upon. Think resource transports, infrastructure vulnerabilities, strategic assets mistakenly placed in generally accessible storage, etc.

So really quite similar to how these things work in real life, and nothing that directly involves any trading in and by itself. Mostly market and environment control for better success rates and increased profit margins, but at lower cost and with more leeway for mistakes/timings.

Hey. If you're feeling down and want to talk to someone, feel free to email me at IMAYousaf@gmail.com.

Always happy to talk :)

Ditto.

If I wanted to learn how to build an algorithm that can create shadow profiles from say a set of data/inputs, where would I best learn that short of working on this at Facebook?

I wonder what they achieved with this? Slave is a pretty good word if I know that I have an a and an e in those positions.

Did anyone ever read the Westing Game? Not sure why I thought of it just now, but I loved that book.

Letting people make mistakes is a charitable thing to do if you're in a good environment.

It's also a tactical thing to do in an adverse one. Understanding the balance of those two will help you gamify your own value more.

I like the name construction physics. There's a lot of value to be unlocked throughout the whole construction process by figuring out where the inefficiencies are particularly in financing IMO.

There's this company called Shepherd or something like that that does build insurance and it's a fantastic example of how to make something meaningful.
