to show placeholders for an image when the internet is too slow to load the image itself fast enough. the implementation they use is extremely inefficient though so it's not much of a win unless the images they're downloading is very large. in most cases, depending on how they load their css, it will actually increase the amount of time it takes to load the images.
The landing page mentions blogs once, but gives no examples and blog posts aren't listed on the pricing page. Can it generate blog posts? If so, what's that experience like?
Good question! Right now you can't choose your own coach and all coaches have experience in helping others be their best self/accountable (primarily have worked with employees in high tech industry)
I hope to have an announcement on that in a week or two. Building and pricing hardware is hard!
Just to clarify though, you don't need a Tidbyt device to use the Pixlet runtime. It outputs GIF's and WebP's that you can "run" or serve wherever/however you'd like.
Thanks for the feedback. I am in the process of putting together a better landing page so will make sure to include example challenges. I am also working on a quick video walk through so people can easily see whats involved with one of the challenges.
I think it would be better to resubmit once those examples are published, now it's hard to subscribe without knowing what to expect, plus I think Show HN can only be used for already-launched products.
Your conclusion is wrong - she admits in the quote you referenced that segregation was there. She does not say it didn't affect her, she says she didn't feel it (as in let it affect her own behavior, cloud her mind, react to it, etc).
To my recollection (I could be wrong it's been years), the movie didn't focus on her feelings about segregation, it focused on the actual segregation and the effects of that segregation on her daily life (i.e. obstacles that would have been in her way), which is distinctly different from her feelings about said segregation and obstacles...which is what she's referring to in the quote.
The book actually touches on this:
"She knew just as well as any other black person the tax levied upon them because of their color. But she didn’t feel it in the same way. She wished it away, willed it out of existence inasmuch as her daily life was concerned.”
MANY members of different marginalized groups deliberately choose this outlook as a method of self preservation in an attempt to minimize the very real emotional, physical, and spiritual toll created by these -isms. Quite a bit of research on the topic if it's something that interests you. But their choice not to acknowledge the source of these obstacles (i.e. racism) doesn't mean it's not there and it doesn't mean there aren't significant challenges...
How are we defining production? They say Bezos makes $215M per day. Does he personally produce $215M in 'value' per day? Or do his employees contribute to it?
The workers can generate ideas which would net amazon tremendous amount of wealth from which only a fraction would go back to those who generated the ideas / implemented it. It really is a case of winner take all market. Bill Gates has been retired for a while yet he can't help but keep getting richer. This is not even mentioning those who inherited vast amounts of wealth (like the waltons) and who continue to get super rich even though i doubt they do anything personally that contributes value.
