Many mistakes were made by Lovable that they could be berated for but on a more positive note, there is a lesson for us all: if you're doing something that you're worried about being problematic (e.g: creating a large volume of Gi

The .new TLD is very restrictive, it is intended to be used for launching a new something, e.g: docs.new creates a new Google Doc. Your domain does not launch a new "bi" (whatever that is). The .new TLD is managed by Google and th

We don’t. People are social. We care about what the people in our community think, whether it’s factually accurate or not is inconsequential. Those of us wasting our lives arguing on the internet in the pursuit of truth are a tiny minority

Fact checkers are the technocratic solution, they're a panel of experts to Community Note's jury of our peers. Fact checkers are a much better product feature than community notes if we want a feature that best serves people who c

Mark has looked at what has happened to Twitter since Musk took over, a notable decline in activity and value… and decided he wants a piece of that? Musk is begging people on Twitter to post more positive content, as it devolves into 4chan-

There's no such thing as a subpoena in the UK, just equivalents. I guess you translated it for an international audience, but can you clarify exactly what Cloudflare received? From what court? What did it require them to disclose? Clou

You’re in a much stronger position than you may feel that you’re in. Sure, your cofounder can dilute you but doing so is bad vibes that will harm team morale (because the team will know that he will screw them when their time comes). The

No, that wouldn't be considered standard practice. Fundamentally, if you are able to control the code that executes then you can exfiltrate the data regardless of how it is stored. The reason self-hosting is a secure way to execute cod

After years of working with Flexbox, I have realized Flexbox is like plugging in a USB-A: justify and align are always the wrong way around on first try.

How could they have been any clearer? Just because some creators didn’t realise they were being paid by Honey to cannibalise their own affiliate commissions does not mean Honey hid it. A number of creators have said this realisation about H

You're getting caught up in the social media hysteria. Honey's partnership with merchants to create Honey-specific coupons is relatively new, Honey was sold to PayPal long before they had any partnerships with merchants, Honey&#x2

My prediction for the response from Honey: * Affiliate marketing attribution is understood to be imperfect, the best effort nature of it is priced in to the commissions * Affiliate marketing uses multiple attribution strategies with varying

I can't even begin to understand how they think this will succeed. The defence so many influencers employ when advertisers turn out to be doing shady things is "You can't hold me responsible! It's not my fault, how can

If they’re high margin businesses that can lock in customers it can work out for them. That’s why VPN sponsors do so well: very high margins and the deals they advertise are typically multi-year upfront payments so the signups immediately r

You need access to their data to process it, any layer of indirection (like a database they control) is additional complexity without meaningful benefit. For clients with strict data control requirements, self-hosting of the whole system is

Employer.com is a new "brand" from long-established Recruiter.com. My guess is that Recruiter.com planned to launch Employer.com in the near-term, and they saw the Bench.co shutdown as the perfect opportunity so they've sped

Anything is possible and running out of money is the most probable explanation but it seems so hard for this type of business to get itself into this type of situation. Customers pay thousands of dollars per year, usually upfront. That’s th

The company is over a decade old and was not cheap to use, I don't think they could have suddenly run out of money as customers typically pay upfront and are in long term contracts. Could it be staffing issues? Corporate misbehavior? D

If AGI were in reach, why would something so human as money matter to these people? The choice to transition to a more pocket-lining structure is surely a vote of no-confidence in reaching AGI anytime soon.

The law is designed to target large companies that aren't seen as doing enough to prevent harm on the internet. Setting up a CIC doesn't dodge the law, the legal entity (the CIC) remains accountable for conduct on the website. Set

Any competent forum operator is already doing all of this (and more) just without the government-imposed framework. Would the OP allow CSAM to be posted on their website? No. Would the OP contact the authorities if they caught someone distr

by aimazon 2y ago
Yes. A CIC is just a limited company with some additional community interest obligations. You can set up a limited company to shield yourself from liability (i.e: if your website is sued by a user, your personal assets aren't at risk)

by aimazon 2y ago
I agree but that ship sailed a decade ago. There's no additional risk with the new bill, it's more of the same. If there are concerns about liability because of this new bill then there should be concerns about liability already.

Don't run a website personally, set up a separate legal entity. The UK is one of the easiest places in the world to do this and has well-understood legal entities that fit the model of a community-operated organisation (i.e: "comm
