Not a surprise. Many other sites tried (and failed) to do app discovery/recommendation without having a defensible competitive advantage (ie selling analytics and ads may not be enough). Other apps in the overlapping third-party app st

TL;DR: spend the $19 to buy a real, big brand USB charger because they have more to lose than grey market no brand. Tragic. Probably cheap USB without mains isolation or maybe enough water dripped down length of cable and socket to create a

A corollary is "the richer the fool, the greater the acceleration of the universe's entropy (to include their body, health and a shorter life)." There are a number health effects no amount of pills or surgery can reverse beca

Turbo-capitalism's full name is "suicidal, greedy, libertarian, utopian delusions worshipping anarchy and extinction, while scapegoating sensible democratic socialism (government and commonwealth) as 'the great Satan.'&q

Ask any dairy farmer in the US: it's mostly Latinos whom do the dirty work that in-country people scoff at. If you want something done in the US, it's usually immigrants whom do the hard work. If people are willing to schlep they

Another reason to consider growing slower and hiring considerately: it's too easy to think scaling fast and hiring a bunch of people is a panacea for success when it may ruin teamwork, morale and culture. There are situations to scale

There are, and will always be, people whom may not be able to find societal-defined utility or whom cannot support themselves. And, for the forseeable future, there will tend to be a general labor oversupply (overpopulation + auomation) whi

This is what happens with a perverse, for-profit medical-industrial complex: snake oil. Also worth mentioning is the fake "emergency rooms" and "urgent care" fly-by-night shops which have sprung up on the side of roads i
