We set up a radio station for the entire company - The BBZ. It’s been an unexpectedly awesome way to unite people from all parts of the organization. @Zendesk

This is such a good idea!

I have my playback speed set to 1.75x almost always on YouTube. What do you do?

Always. That's probably why I also talk so fast in my videos, because I'm always annoyed at how slow everyone else talks 😂

I didn't buy this, I'm just borrowing it 😅

at the rate you go through cameras, when you buy a camera you're really just borrowing it anyway

Is there an author-first decentralized ebook publishing service?
Amazon’s fees for ebook sales are *insane*.
Also, their employees have to pee in bottles to make impossible quotas.

RT @dietrich
@nayafia @mattschaar @stripepress also only sells via Amazon 😢
Stripe Press keep publishing amazing books about community that we cannot read without paying Amazon, destroyer of communities.
Would be great to pay you directly for the ebook.

I wish I could pop out chats in #Slack. I want all my active chats visible at once. It's really easy to lose a conversation when I have several going at once, or I'm waiting for a reply that might not happen for hours.

That is such a good idea! I constantly lose DM threads because it doesn't even sort the DM list by most recently contacted.

I wrote a thread discussing the mathematics of accurately assessing risk. But I deleted it. Don't have the fight in me.

We really need to fix the education system in the US and require Probability and Statistics instead of Calculus.

Seriously! I took (and later taught) Probability and Statistics in college and I was like omg why did nobody ever tell me about this earlier!

Oh that's funny... I was going to drop a link to his at-home streaming setup, noticing that he uses a Lumix. I gather it has the "will provide a clean HDMI output forever without overheating" feature. That's my back-up option right now... looking at the Nikon Z50 first.

yeah I run it off the "dummy battery" connected to USB power. I've run this thing for hours at a time, no issues at all.

The Lumix G7 was recommended by my coworker @aaronpk who knows waaaay more about cameras than I do. I’m sure there are better options available, but probably more expensive. I hear lots of folks are interested in the new Sony ZV-1 that’s now available for preorder.

also you get diminishing returns on camera bodies, I'd spend more on a nice lens before getting a fancier camera than the G7 if you're just getting started.

The Lumix G7 is a fantastic camera for streaming. There's definitely "better" cameras, but it's one of the most affordable, and especially if you want more than one camera angle, you can actually do that with the G7 whereas it's a bit harder to justify 2x $1200 cameras!

@aaronpk It sounds like it only affected phone calls at least? Data on AT&T and Verizon I think were fine. All the more reason to use other apps for communication, and treat it as a dumb internet pipe.
Well, as dumb as it can, with all of the video stuff not being metered depending on which one you have.

Yeah phone calls and SMS. Ironically I was trying to make a phone call at the exact moment it was down. Switched to using google hangouts to call via WiFi and it was fine.

Nice! It’s a LITTLE too small for my 32” monitor (partially covers the Qi charger now), but anything smaller should be fine. I use the USB ports all day every day either way.

My monitors are up on arms anyway, I just want to cover up this mess of wires on my desk and also have USB ports that are easier to access.

Dunno if you saw my comment on the actual video, but we have the same desks, lamps, mic, even that wooden stool, so my suggestions may not be so helpful. I do, however, really like this: https://amzn.to/2MXStAz My audio interface sits beneath, and I love the Qi charger on top

this thing looks awesome! I'm getting one right now!

I thought corona was the name of a haircut.

Corona is a haircut, a unit of measurement, a beer, and a state of mind.
