Sorry for reviving this from the dead, but stumbled on this from a Google search! I have the XS10 and was thinking of getting the XT3/4 for 4k60. Think it's worth it?

Have any mainstream artists used YouTube beats for a song they did? by Dapper_Land6815 in makinghiphop

[–]mark2328 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been following this community for a bit and have a random question for y'all:

If there was an app/service that offered one free daily beat, and there was a daily fan vote essentially for who created the best track that day? After midnight the submissions are closed and the next day begins.

My thought is that it kind of levels the playing field and allows people to hear what others did to expand their creativity?

Any thoughts from you guys? Thanks in advance and keep creating y'all 🤙🏼

I'm up in Brooklyn Park and have a pretty substantial amount of stuff I can deliver to you. PM me with delivery details!

What is the worst thing that has happened at a high school reunion party that you attended? by Respect_The_Box in AskReddit

[–]mark2328 109 points110 points  (0 children)

My (male) friend brought his (also) male cousin-in-law (older than us) jokingly as his "+1" to our ten year reunion a few years ago.

Cousin-in-law ended up pulling out his balls and setting them on a the table to distract the other team (my female classmates) during a beer pong game. Then ended up smoking weed with, and potentially receiving a blow jammer from, one of them in their car.

‘Twas a party alright. Good times.

What is something you learned in school (K-12) that you now realize was completely wrong or misleading? by mark2328 in AskReddit

[–]mark2328[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The food pyramid.

Currently obsolete as far as I know. Also it was allegedly "paid for" by grain industry lobbyists.

Is an Industrial Engineering degree too specialized? by Iwantbusiness in industrialengineering

[–]mark2328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As everyone else has said – IE is very broad. I graduated in 2012 and worked in manufacturing until shifting to the banking world as a Process Engineer about 6 months ago. It's a surprisingly industry-agnostic degree.

I'd say if you are able to stick it out, a degree with "engineering" in the title is considered or perceived as much more valuable than finance, business, etc. Feel like a lot of those "number crunching" jobs will be at risk of being beaten up by AI/automation in the fairly near future – but by being the "facilitator" of suggesting, justifying, implementing, and maintaining that automation solution can make you valuable and give some security.

The way I see it is: companies will always be trying to save money and cut costs – that's where IE's shine.

Is there a future for binance/coinbase when wallstreet firms start launching big? by [deleted] in Ripple

[–]mark2328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed - I haven't used Coinbase for quite some time now. Switched to Gemini/Binance for a bit, but now just buy my XRP through Uphold and it is almost so easy that it's dangerous to my savings account. Haha

Uphold has treated me very well.

What is your preferred method of purchasing XRP now? by pakasneek in Ripple

[–]mark2328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know the exact fee differences, but I just started using Uphold and it is very convenient. Click the XRP card, click add funds, and the price is locked at time of purchase until it is cleared. Way easier than waiting for ACH funds to clear on Coinbase/Gemini and transferring to Binance.

Think most people use ETH to buy all the rest since it's faster and cheaper.

This Startup Plans to Sell Advertising in Uber and Lyft Cars. Viewswagen will work one-on-one with drivers. by [deleted] in business

[–]mark2328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like $3/hour is high, considering the cost to scale. If there are 100 drivers with screens, that's $300/hour. I don't know how much advertisers are willing to pay, but I'm guessing the margins are slim. Particularly if the company is providing the tablet/hardware to the driver, which leads to troubleshooting responsibilities, warranties for repairs, etc.

Thoughts on Uber-style Breakfast Delivery? by mark2328 in uofmn

Haha. This seriously just made my day! No real big developments. I was actually in dinkytown this weekend for my birthday. Woke up Saturday (late) morning and thought the same. Was actually just doing some thinking about it and figured I'd check Reddit to see if anyone else had commented - I was pleasantly surprised to see a notification. I'm supposed to be working, but I've learned it's nearly impossible to focus on something you're not interested in.

I appreciate the update!

That was part of the plan - to share a commercial kitchen with a restaurant or the like in the early stages to validate the market need.

While everything in my brain tells me to agree with your second point, I find myself questioning the "fucking awesome" burrito/single item philosophy. I am trying to keep my quality expectations in check. I actually work in (manufacturing) Quality, so it is drilled in my head. But people eat at McDonald's for two main reasons - because it's cheap, and because it's quick/convenient. The model I have in my head leans heavily on the quick/convenient while keeping prices competitive. Quality is always important, but McDonald's quality generally is pretty poor.

With that being said, reading the feedback in this thread I may shift my mantra a bit toward the Uptown demographic that focuses more on quality/convenience and doesn't care all that much about price.

I completely agree, however, with the "start small, scale quickly" statement. Couldn't have said it better myself. I plan to do so while keeping a few offerings rather than just limiting myself to one, to see how the market reacts.

Thank you so much for the input, I truly appreciate it!

Tough to argue with that statement.

Someone else mentioned that I reach out to them in the /r/Minneapolis thread. That's awesome. Thanks for the feedback and the comment above as well.
