Twitter had such a strong and recognizable brand too. Working in payments under the X name or something like that might have made sense, but what a god awful idea to kill core app branding.

Of course they do, however an important distinction here is that Meta is banned in China and TikTok is not banned here. Both are bad, but Chinese netizens aren’t exposed to one of the two. China is quite good about filtering out which propa

It’s really hard to say without bloodwork since unique sun and gut absorption rates plus other things that affect your gut can affect your absorption.

Edit: sorry this was intended for the parent comment. It is but K2 absorption is complex as well. It’s not quite as straightforward as something like salt and potassium intake etc. Additionally there’s just so much about gut health that we

IDK, I also think a lot of engineers are actually just not good - but the overhiring that happened over the past few years really brought down the overall quality at MANGA. Now you have a bunch of "MANGA level" engineers / ot

Well that's a different argument but you're totally right. The most "boring" ways to financial freedom are living cheaply and making as much steady income as possible, investing in other revenue generating ventures (like

Yea mastodon has been totally incredible in my experience following mostly Swift developers. I’d also argue that the slightly higher barrier to entry is more of a feature than a bug since it inherently keeps low effort users out. Lastly I a

Well yes it’s clearly expensive to support a browser and that’s why they’re trying to make money, but they’re failing miserably to deliver on those other revenue streams and they aren’t keeping up in the browser space. That’s all, if they w

This is a strong but valid take, Mozilla has a huge focus on getting revenue streams from somewhere, but flubbing it right and left along the way. The consumer might benefit from a better browser but Mozilla has basically decided that that’

You’re actually 100% right about this, there’s a massive reproducibility crisis. But I don’t think it’s fair to put it on the same level as astrology haha

Hey! IronIQ is my attempt to make a workout app I’d actually like to use, and I’d really like feedback on it. Here’s a few features I’ve been particularly fond of: - [Beta] AI for personalized workout routines - 2K+ exercises with detailed

Annoyingly they moved into shilling stupid AI ventures which is frustrating a AI has real, legitimate uses in its current form. Now we have a bunch of shills acting like we’ve achieved AGI if only you’d invest in their GPT chatbot

Both of these are correct, if you use the native API. A lot of apps hide behind their own “are you enjoying” pop up and then only give you the apple API prompt to leave a review if you say yes lol. I also dislike it, and have mine set to no

I think the real tell for Apple’s future will be who Tim Cook chooses to replace him. Financially, Apple is incredibly strong. You could argue that operations was Apple’s weakest point when Jobs left, and that Cook was the right choice to c

Why? That strikes me as odd, since the manufacturer is the one who eats that warranty cost.

Sadly they sold to a hedge fund and quality has been going downhill, but yes, for years Alamo was the only thing that kept me going to theaters. It’s still much better than any competitor though

Not OP but I have a family member who’s a specialized dentist who’s well regarded in the field and constantly harps on this kind of toothpaste over fluoride. I think fluoride is basically cheap and that’s all

He needed to have Fadell around to argue with, but Tim prefers an office style with less tension. Which has been great for shareholders, bad for consumer design tho. It’s hard to know what is more “right” since more people have apple produc
