I "know" people who work on projects that provide data to train these models. When using photos and data, like google photos, you need to give a series of permissions. The pay is very low, anywhere from 3 dollars to 6 dollars per hour to answer some questions.

What I mean by that is that legally these companies get that date without having to run the risk of using data acquired from those who didn't authorize it.

Google cannot do as it pleases with your data. And they don't even need to. It's cheap to get permission from other people.

This salary is higher than the minimum in Brazil. Of course, without labor rights. They would probably also get thousands of employees in Brazil if they needed to, as well as in several other countries.

I myself do work with mediation of content for several social networks, getting a little more than that. The only problem is that the monthly hours are irregular, there are very few hours.

If someone has an offer of 4 dollars an hour for 200 hours a week without any benefits, I accept it immediately. And that's half the US salary, as I understand it.

Probably because they weren't platforms with the sole purpose of being a space for free speech. The problem with these new platforms and sites is that they are generally copies, worse than the originals, of larger platforms that have the only attraction of being free from moderation.

They only see this problem and try to solve it in the worst way. Accepting everything and everyone, offering a confusing experience, financially unattractive and often need to charge dearly for it.

I'm talking about him. I didn't say it was a scientific study about the world. He, one of the richest men in the world, is experiencing living in a small space with houses from this company. This company has also demo videos about houses on mars.

This company is popular for being the company chosen by Elon Musk[1]. He's supposedly living in one in Starbase, Texas. I guess it's also a study to understand the dynamics of living in a small space as any dream of inhabiting some other planet passes necessarily by the adaptation of a lifetime in a tiny space.

In addition to everything he mentioned, there is still the possibility that immunity, acquired after infection, is only for a short period. Nothing makes sense. Everyone was already waiting for some kind of correction before Covid. And now, in addition to the covid, we have conflict tensions, unemployment and lack of income on a global scale.

Stock market became a casino.

New comment by vit05 in "Apple rejects Hey for second time, threatens removal from App Store"

vit05 — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 20:14:02 +0000

I agree. But I was not discussing their business model. I believe that they will be successful, as I said, I believe that there is this market for paid emails. What I was talking about is the first attitude of protesting instead of negotiating.

And I wasn't wrong, that's what Phil Schiller suggested:

“One way that HEY could have gone...is to offer a free or paid version of the app with basic email reading features on the App Store, then separately offered an upgraded email service that worked with the Hey app on iOS on its own website.”

And that is exactly what they did to get approved.

"So now we offer this new free option, and the multi-user HEY for Work — all in the same iOS app. "

This is the potential market where all other paid email providers will compete. A reduced market. And yet, they chose Elon Musk's strategy. Create a premium product first to serve as a cash cow and financier, then perhaps offer other products with lower or even higher margins.

But my point is, they offer a premium service and have the possibility to get around this problem by negotiating since the mistake was theirs in not interpreting apple rules correctly.

I've been following the tweets about hey.com from their founder for some time. The text about how they bought the domain is beautiful. I understand the proposal they offer about the service, and the reason for charging for a service that nobody has paid for a long time. It even seems obvious to me this trend of new opportunities to pay for email services. A trend, that this time, appears to be here to stay.

But it is a product that have a very aggressive marketing strategy. Arrogant.

The only thing I read from this episode is: The product is like this, the billing service is like that. We won't change anything and if you don't like it, you're wrong. Unfortunately, there is no chance that I will ever use this product. The price is stratospheric for me and probably for 98% of those who use gmail. Prontonmail, for example, offers several options, including a free one.

Well, apple also offers a service. What they are asking is for them to make a concession. But they don't seem willing to concede anything to that negotiation.

I imagine that this could be circumvented with other exclusive plans to subscribe using apple pay, or a free and very reduced version. It doesn't seem like a radical position from apple, which was the impression I got from reading the tweets alone.

Xerox Holdings Corporation (XRX) =Market Cap 8.071B HP Inc. (HPQ) = Market Cap 26.638B Xerox ended Fujifilm joint venture today and is already trying a new multibillion-dollar business. I had no idea they still had some relevant product in the global market. But it is very likely that these advances are more about a financial game of activist investors than a long-term plan.

New comment by vit05 in "US Law Enforcement Traces Bitcoin Transfers to Nab ‘Largest’ Child Porn Site"

vit05 — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 22:33:14 +0000

Bitcoin is traceable, but you don't need to use any kind of document to have an address / wallet. It was not created to be anonymous or for use in illegal transactions. It was created to be the most reliable way to conduct an online transaction.

Although it can be traced. No one has the power to block or return a transaction. Once sent, it was gone.

With any other traditional means of payment, money can be withdrawn or blocked with a court order. With Bitcoin, if there is no collaboration from the wallet owner, this is impossible.

Those who use Bitcoin for illegal activities are at various risk of being tracked, not just by ledger. A good investigator and the criminal system need much more evidence.

Now one risk he does not want to make is selling the goods and not receiving the money. It is this reliability that Bitcoin offers that compensates for the risk of being tracked eventually.
