I don't run this kind of skin unironically but I do think that desktop GUIs used to be a lot more intuitive in some ways. They were still educating PC users on how to use PCs and so there was less of a temptation to hide features and s

What lie, exactly? The claim was > Twitter did used to have some pretty notable censorship. Are you saying that the person you replied to is willfully deceiving people by saying this? Because I think it's very obviously true, and we

People use these things differently, for sure! I compare to those because these are social networks - the network is the biggest thing that matters. I LOVE what Bluesky is doing with atproto and was there pretty early as a result, but I did

This is really nice, and it's a good reminder that we're so early with regards to how AI can be used to make art. And the fact that it's flowers creates a pretty nice mental model for it! One can plant seeds and cultivate the

I've generally tried to stay with cash back rewards in categories that don't change, that's been the best way to balance complexity with rewards for me while not nudging me to buy stuff I don't actually need. I don'

They mention "premium credit cards" in the article, is there a general understanding of which cards are premium? I clicked through to the study and the only example they cited in there was Chase Sapphire Reserve but I didn't

I don't really know my way around corporate filings, but...is that just for credit cards? Capital One also is supposedly huge on car loans; I'd imagine the interest from those would comprise a big chunk of that revenue.

It's not mutually exclusive. I remember the Bad Old Days of trying to make the PayPal button work; if Stripe makes it easier for people to take payment online then it increases the GDP of the Internet.

It's a load-bearing term, a belt-and-suspenders descriptor.

I wonder how many meteorites were laying around in the early days of humans caring about metal.

Maybe it really is impossible to run a business that way, and that's why Consumer Reports is stuck a stickler about putting up walls around its reputation for independence.

Right, I'm saying that I think the author asked Claude to translate notes/writing that were composed in a different language.

What other tech patents did we somewhat resent being patented that are now expired? I'm also thinking about the click wheel; I got one of my kids a knockoff iPod for Christmas last year. Can other e-commerce sites legally "one-cli

Perhaps you could title your next book "Seth Godin The Knot".

by Brendinooo 1mo ago
Right. If the only metric was "best-reviewed" then more people would be faking reviews. To be clear I'm not letting Amazon entirely off the hook here, but Seth's situation is somewhat unique in that "someone looking

Thanks for this, it's crazy that I had to scroll so far to see it on this site. The headline sounds sensational, then if you actually read the article you realize the author just made up his own framing entirely, or he just discovered

"Killing SF" is overly dramatic, and others have noted that the phenomenon observed here is not unique to AI, or SF. But there is something a little...alienating about advertising that's not meant for you. It's a dumb ex
