You're describing the fake breakup. Where you tell your girlfriend/boyfriend you want a break, then let them talk you back into the relationship. This is just a bad relationship move. Now they don't trust you and you have a needy or untrusting partner now.
I've had 50% pay raises that were nearly matched by the current employer. My last manager literally said the words, "What if we offered you a big bag of money to stay?". I left.
Now I work at a place where people stay literally until the die, 10, 15, 25 year tenures. My coworkers are mediocre. I'd say it's a mixture of laziness and sometimes maybe just incompetence.
It's a two fold problem. Employees that stay this long do not progress in their careers or learn new skills. I've learned next to nothing in my 5 years here. Employers that don't create churn in their workers create numerous problems. If we didn't hold a monopoly in our field, I'm sure we would have been bought out and had mass layoffs by now.

Oh no, you tell them before you start looking that you feel like your TC is too low based on your contribution. You don't threaten to shop around, you just tell them your skillet has value beyond what they're offering.
It goes like this: either they come back with something to make you happy and everybody is satisfied, or they don't and you start applying.
But people don't always give employers this chance and just start applying first. Then when they go to leave things get weird with counter offers.
If you think your job sucks and you're ready to move on, there's no reason to bother with this approach. But if the only reason you're thinking of moving on is to increase your pay, it never hurts to ask first.
Free way to share photos across all your devices. Super great feature when I tuned off iCloud Photos due to costs. I’ll miss it, this won’t push me to shell out for iCloud storage though.
The problem with art is good provenance. NFTs specifically solves this issue. Provenance was a common word used by art collectors describing the issues with Art auctions during NFT.NYC. Noah Davis really opened my eyes to this topic, here's his speech at NFT.NYC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeVZeXsRKhs
It would take a while to explain provenance in crypto space. It's largely based on credibility and ownership of addresses. Once credibility and address is established, it is a simple operation to prove the Bridge picture came from a specific artist. Things like ENS (Ethereum Name Service) are examples of deep support for provenance in Crypto.
For stablecoins, I think normal people dont think thar much about the shadiness but more if it works or not. Tether has been keeping their stablecoin stable for 6+ years, for normal users it looks good for quite wide variery of uses. Of course no one is saving their pension in USDT but there are lots of shorter term use cases.
They're spending a ton of Facebook. I wanted to buy one until the 500th ad that was presented to me. I think 1/2 the price of the device is marketing spend.
I don’t think so. The first version was more expensive and it didn’t have much (any?) marketing at all. And it’s not much more expensive than the Chinese E Ink devices. They are selling this at a premium for sure but I don’t think it’s 50% or anything close to that. ReMarkable raised $15m USD last fall and I think that is where the Facebook/Instagram budget came from. I imagine preorders are funding the first wave of rM2 production and the additional funding is paying for the hardware development and Facebook ads.
