@evanpro This is where we disagree. 😉

The Interstate Highway System wasn’t built because a few activists wanted roads for their cars.

It was built because of a concerted lobby, and the spending on it was ostentatious: in the USA, the government paid for 90% of its construction.

@iPullRank I wrote a good guide on that here:
https://transistor.fm/podcast-hosting

@evanpro Investment in passenger rail is the kind of “ostentatious” spending I would support from @JustinTrudeau and the @Canada government.

Coast to coast, high-speed, reliable.

Podcasting still has lots of upside. 😉

@joelgascoigne Environmental impact.

How do our business activities help (or harm) the climate?

I’m currently considering the environmental costs of:
- air travel
- cloud infrastructure

Also considering, like @patrickc and @tobi, how we can invest resources in climate change solutions.

@RachelCorbett I’d love to see Transistor’s players on this page too!

There are solutions, but we need to act now.

Specifically, governments need to quit offering the *wrong* incentives (fossil fuel subsidies) and start offering the right ones (help businesses and families decarbonize transportation, homes, and manufacturing).

“Our decisions over the next 10 years will affect the magnitude of climate change for centuries to come. I don’t think it can get more sobering than that.” – @coralsncaves

Living in BC, I know what it’s like to have the threat of forest fires.

Even when the fires are far away, the sky still gets choked with smoke that burns your eyes and is hard to breathe.

“Living with the smoke” has become a yearly reality here now, nearly every summer.

This is what the smoke (from the 🔥 in Australia) looks like in NEW ZEALAND.

This isn’t a “far away” problem.

Because of climate change, these are the kind of fires we’re going to be getting everywhere (especially in the Pacific NW).

It’s apocalyptic.

@iChris no thank u

@joshuaanderton @TransistorFM @jonbuda I had been tracking the podcasting category for a long time.

As an example, here's the talk I gave at @MicroConf in April 2018 (while @TransistorFM was still in beta):

@freekmurze @OhDearApp I like that idea!

@fredrivett Just read it. 👍

Relationships and community are the #1 thing we should be investing our time in.

@SweatingCommas Awesome.

@valentinprgnd Yes! I wrote a bunch of tips here:

Great reason to start a podcast, blog, newsletter in 2020: https://twitter.com/r00k/status/1212476631673122819

@paidinsights Happy New Year Ross! 🙌

Did an impromptu episode of @buildyoursaas on New Year’s Eve.

In the last 9 minutes I hit on this idea:

“Tomorrow morning, how many people will be lining up for this?”

@kwuchu 👍

@joelgascoigne Nice! I dig it. 👍

@juliennicault Merci!

Bonne année, Julien.

@beingbrad Happy New Year Brad from Canada!

@imyke @jsnell @jonbuda Here's the clip

@imyke @jsnell the "Memberful integration" you talked about on Upgrade 276 is something that @jonbuda and I are considering adding to our existing private podcasting tools:

@nbrempel @dhh @TransistorFM @TryGhost Podcasting is already pretty decentralized!

Podcasts (like blogs) use RSS for syndication.

The podcaster hosts the MP3s themselves.

Directories (like Apple Podcasts) are merely linking to podcast media.

Podcast subscribers can subscribe directly to the RSS feed.

@NoahPrail Nice work! 🙌

@JamesCridland There are always tons of Australians here during our winter.

Hoping you’re safe!

Made it up to the mountain for some afternoon laps though.

@MichaelThiessen It’s great!

Just finished shoveling and plowing. 😅

@CorbettBarr Thanks Corbett! The same to you! 🙌

@m1guelpf Yes!!!

@MattGiovanisci Nice! Sounds like you had a good year.

Curious about the fun stuff:
- what was the best beer you had?
- nicest travel experience?
- best snowboard adventure?

@MrSimonBennett I’m curious about this too!

@dgoodlad Remote workers should make the same as co-located employees.

I like the move @dhh and @jasonfried made here:

@CalebWojcik Atomic Habits by @JamesClear
Talking to Strangers by @Gladwell

The market you’re in determines so much.

Move to a different city and you can increase your income by 4x-6X? 😮

Even if rent is 4x-6x more, you still net more income.

(My hope: remote work levels this playing field) https://twitter.com/morewry/status/1211494789062881282

Hoping you get some rest and that your family stays healthy! ❤️

@joshuaanderton @derrickreimer @r00k If this a new feature for the Webflow community, I would identify:

• influencers in that space (folks like @mackenziechild)
• existing communities and forums
• make videos and articles that target common search queries: “how do I add an email subscribe form to Webflow?”

Exactly like this:

@Treggats @noplanstomerge Thanks! 🙌

Update: I bought them all.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CEREAL

A good illustration from @JamesClear:

You can gradually increase the temperature of an ice cube, and for a long time nothing happens.

Then, it “suddenly” begins to melt.

It’s the accumulation of small temperature changes that cause the transformation.

Eventually, the accumulation of these tiny changes crosses a threshold and a big change occurs.

This is true for success, failure, creation, and destruction. These are the results you get from a series of small nudges over time.

Most big changes are the result of small nudges over time.

How does someone change their mind? Small nudges over time.

How did we destroy the planet? Small nudges over time.

We’re moving forward (or backward) in tiny increments.

RT @evanpro: To friends posting 10s or 100s of km of air travel totals for 2019: can you commit to making a 5% reduction in total air trave…

This is awful.

Sonos has a “recycle” mode that makes its devices unusable.

Putting more electronic devices in landfills is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing.

Sonos is imposing a huge externality on society here. https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1210662988828442624

RT @CasJam: 1. Name one podcast you really enjoyed in 2019.

2. Why does that one stand out for you?

This isn’t something that “might happen.”

This stuff is happening now.

What are we going to do about it?

I have this biggest pod crush ever on @DCoulbourne and @calebporzio so when they asked me to be on their show I just giggled and blushed the whole time.

@tristanbailey Nice! I’m due for a workout too.

What do you mean when you say “drawing paths on images?”

@jbrooksuk Nice. Glad to hear it!

Yes, I’m doing well. I’ve been really enjoying time with my kids. 👍

No firm plans yet though. How about you?

@Beryllium9 Yeah, why does that always happen when we get time off?

@tahirraza_se Going snowboarding tomorrow, so I’m hoping it stays cold and we get some snow! ❄️

@m1guelpf Feeling pretty good. Hoping to go snowboarding tomorrow. Just have to get my kids to sleep first. 😅

Hey, how are you doing today?

@chowdhuryrahul Thanks!

I get this question a lot:

“Why do you need podcast hosting? Don’t I just upload my podcast to Apple and Spotify?”

So I just wrote my answer here:
https://transistor.fm/podcast-hosting

Exactly:

“What technology and trade have done, however, is displace millions of Americans from their middle-class jobs, and send them hurtling down the income ladder into less remunerative occupations.” http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/november-jobs-report-analysis-wage-growth-unemployment.html
