Have you tried Fortnite Creative mode? It can be as much of a virtual world as a FPS game engine. People are building islands for other types of games, for socializing, and just as art for art's sake.
You sure about that? It currently has the second-highest viewership on Twitch, topped only by League of Legends (which is surprisingly almost a decade old).
It was mostly a joke for people with school-aged kids. At least in my kids school, and what r/memes seems to reflect around the world, is they all say it's "trash" and Minecraft is the thing again. I think they all still play it, it's just cool to say it's not cool. However, a lot of them seem to have stopped buying V-bucks, at least to get skins.
We signed up for Blue Apron and Sun Basket. Time after time, the actual food provided by blue apron was inferior. Often close to rotten. This isn’t a complicated story( Blue Apron delivers food with instructions but the food isn’t very good.
I wonder if that's a regional thing? I haven't used Blue Apron in 6 months, but often the ingredients would last probably twice as long as most ingredients from the local grocer. It also tended to show up around 10-11am and be fine by the time I got home between 8-9pm in the box.
I suspect it's less no response and more extremely delayed response. They added hundreds of thousands of users (maybe a million +) in the space of a couple weeks. December growth of the crypto space was absolutely massive - something like 10 exchanges have closed off new registrations. I'm sure their support is currently massively overworked and they can't hire quickly enough.
Everything written about here is in relation to VC funded companies. For people building companies without outside investment, and who pay employees with money, none of this is true at all and in fact sounds nonsensical.
This seems like it would be the perfect foundation with which acquire twitter right? A twitter acquisition makes sense under Alphabet in a way it doesn't under Google, no?
Yes. I think the anti-trust case is weaker if Twitter is wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet, instead of Google.
On a broader scale I think Google is gearing up to aquire its way out of areas of stunted growth for the company. A number of businesses haven't taken off:
Twitter :: Google Real-Time
Box :: Google Drive At Enterprise Level
8x8 :: Google Voice
And F is for Facebook and W is for whatever... This restructuring really had little practical value and doesn't change anything -- including plans to acquire or not acquire Twitter. Sure the legals are different but the company isn't.
Check out yoga studios nearby. Because it's class based, it's more directed and time sensitive than working out, and a lot of them also foster community, so it might be easier for you to strike up a few conversations than at a gym.
Give a few of them a try to find the one that's right for you.
