Yeah its kind of insane how many times Apple can pull this trick yet we still get people saying "they're late, they look like morons, Apple is finished". Apple can arrive last to a product market. They can take six years of i

Sure the AI input/output itself doesn't have a ton of value. Tell that to Microsoft and Google, who seem to be obsessed with chat interfaces while lacking any creativity as to where else the technology can be deployed. Apple'

Here's something very specific I've been thinking about recently. I think Google Cloud Cloud Run is obscenely ahead of its time. Its a product that's adjacent to so many competitors, yet has no direct competitor, and has mana

Sure, that's fair; I hope I didn't imply that would be acceptable. I don't want to sound callous, nor make assumptions about the author's life situation. I don't know where they're at, and if they're readi

The product quality and experience differential between Spotify and literally every other competing music platform, is so unbelievably large that if Hi-Fi is the the straw that broke your subscription's back I tend to think "feels

I agree that it is odd, even from an "efficient market hypothesis" angle. There are people who use Arc literally only because of the very well-integrated and implemented vertical tab bar (versus, oftentimes jank & ugly addons

I pay for, love, and use Spotify to listen to music. And, I buy merch from the artists I really like. Sometimes that merch is e.g. LPs/Records, but usually t-shirts/sweatshirts/hats/etc. I think the whole "buy MP3 f

To each their own, but: I strongly believe the opposite. Of course having more than 6 or 8 tabs open in a horizontal tab bar makes tabs difficult to manage and track. I've used Arc for the past 6 months. Having 6 or 8 tabs open in a ve

Watch the video; its definitely just 'someone at YouTube really liked this video'. The styling of the title is attempting to mirror the actor nameplates in the video.

My favorite YouTube oddity: If you hunt over the CSS the site downloads on, IIRC, every page; you'll eventually come across this selector: ytd-watch-metadata[video-id=QrGrOK8oZG8] h1.ytd-watch-metadata { color:#e6d140;

I really like this take, and I think it becomes extremely self-evident once you think about it for a bit, and talk with people who use dating apps IRL. "Dating apps are incentivized to keep people going on mediocre first dates"

My opinion is: as long as a URL 3xxs to the latest content destination, its still a cool URL. The goal I think should not be to create a web that is crusty, calcified, ever-unchanging; but rather create a web that is adaptable, dynamic, whe

Absolutely true. I know of one younger guy who used to have an iPhone, but switched to Android after the Fortnite debacle. This happens. Having fewer experiences on your mobile platform will never gain you more customers. Fortnite isn&#

1. Microsoft does sell users a computer. Sometimes. Surface devices represent about 10% of all desktop computers. 2. Apple also sells Macs, where developers can access "Apple's customers" unencumbered, without needing to pl

I think there's a lot of nuance in this situation. First: the most vocal developers really do not care about Apple's "ecosystem invented out of thin air". They just need to be where their customers are, wherever their cu

Utility companies very reasonably and correctly do both. People, and organizations, can do two things. Maybe even more than two. On the short term, using less energy is important because it helps smooth over demand curves. If everyone sudde

Increasing usage trivially and obviously increases capacity by ~the same amount. A toddler could understand this, because obviously the lights are still on. We use more and more energy every year (except 2020, for obvious reasons). Ther

Wrong. And not just a little wrong; a LOT wrong. 86% of new energy capacity added in the United States in 2023 was from non-fossil fuel sources. [1] https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fotw-1304-augu

Utility companies absolutely do both. Its not an either-or. Capacity only grows when usage grows. But, reducing usage is important, because if usage grows too fast capacity can't keep up, or it might burst too far above the load they&#

The crypto industry financed a 2.3% expansion of the US's power generating capacity. I don't care what we're spending energy on. Being stingy about it just makes all of us poorer. There's a quadrillion-cubic-kilometer fl

I've thought a tremendous amount about this. Its important to note, we're speaking from an ethical/moral angle, not a legal one. Apple isn't doing anything that courts have been found to be illegal. First, on what Apple

The impact Apple's rules have on e.g. Spotify's business model cannot be understated. As an example: Spotify wants to get into Audiobooks, which we'll assume is a reasonable and interesting expansion of their business. Tradit

But my point is: When is that standardization actually leveraged? Literally, tactically, what does "you know what to expect as a developer" mean? When is this standardization used in a fashion that enables more capability than j

But I feel the point is: None of that is a relevant concern IDs should take on. Most functional things related to e.g. embedding the record creation time within the ID is one of those "that's cool, but I've never seen anyone
