I still don't know why seemingly no one has been able to create a good clone of 2010-2015 Twitter. Mastodon is clunky, BlueSky was invite-only for so long that people lost interest, and any "free speech" version gets flooded

It's definitely a double-standard that is especially prevalent in the US. In a gas station you can buy alcohol that will kill you, nicotine products that will kill you, processed food that will kill you. I don't understand why onl

> It's great that people are experimenting in this space. It's less great that people are getting multiple millions in funding and selling a phone and web service as an "AI device." This is the best two-sentence summa

Very glad that I don't work somewhere with an immature "thought leader" at the helm. Imagine having your entire department cut as the result of a Twitter Poll because your CEO was bored one night on the toilet.

It's also not exclusive to China/authoritarian countries. Plenty of European countries have de-facto decriminalized cannabis by rarely enforcing laws on possession (I'm reminded of how often I saw people openly smoking weed o

I think “violence” is at times such a silly measuring stick for modern justice. Instead, we should see it as lost/ruined human potential. What is worse, violently robbing one bank of $10k, or “peacefully” robbing a massive number of pe

I feel like there are PLENTY of "AI" apps someone could have made and still been first to market, long before they got down the list to "eat this fungus, trust me bro" territory.

Yeah, I remember in 5th grade we had a day where each kid got a turn on the classroom computer to see how far they could go.

What’s interesting is you also see the is was sponsored by Chevrolet (on the title screen), so it seems monetization-wise, it’s no different than today when YouTubers have a sponsor read at the start of a video. I just wonder if then it’s s

Yeah, $500 seems basically impossible for an "Apple" product. I mean AirPods are $200 minimum. The latest phones are $1000. Their laptops are all $1000+. I'm not sure how Apple would make a product that has a screen and sell

I think there's a "too many people in the pool" problem that happens with everything virtual. Facebook was a big deal when I was in High School and early college, and I remember how quick the fall-off was once Instagram came

Titan Panel I think was the name? It was the one that kinda "unified" a lot of UI elements into one bar (total gold, repair percentage, stuff like that).

"How do we make the cooler door a more engaging experience?" Imagine getting your raise request denied, meanwhile the guy asking these questions is an executive at your company. I could sadly see this concept coming to fruition in

According to this article from CoinTelegraph, Telegram denies making any agreement like this. Sees like it’s MTS trying to boost its advertising services (and charge clients more) with false promises: https://cointelegraph.com&#x

I stopped noticing several years ago, it seems every place has all 4 on the "We proudly accept" window decal. But I do remember checking 10-15 years ago to make sure places took my Amex, because not all of them did.

This has always seemed like a somewhat short-sighted take from regulators. While I do think that platforms have some responsibility to police content that users post, I can’t help but feel like it just creates this cycle of 1. Latest poli

Yeah we're definitely seeing a slow return to "this is on-demand cable". And all I see is that independent content (like YT videos) will continue to grow. I can definitely say that I watch probably one tenth as many shows and

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the 90s (or even early/mid 2000s) just for a day to remember what that vacuum of "stuff to do" in every day life was like. I lived it, I remember "being bored" or having "not

I agree that that's probably the most "mass adoption" use case for these things, rather than just gaming or content consumption. I would love to be able to have essentially a pair of "triple monitor setup goggles" t

I grew up in an area with quite a few Amish, and it is interesting how tech from the past 10 years has affected that community. Like the article says, not all Amish follow the same rules, nor do they abstain entirely from electricity (only

I think it’s also how we interact with them. I remember being “chronically online” as a teenager 15 years ago without a phone, just playing MMORPGs all day and me and my friends (all internet friends the same age, didn’t meet IRL until our

I feel the same way about any media: podcasts, TV, movies, etc. The creator put in a lot of time and effort, so to not give it your full attention is a complete disservice. When I watch something, I want to hear every line and not miss any

But given the choice, isn't SMS a stronger first authentication factor? It's temporary and randomized, whereas users don't change passwords that frequently. So a password is much more susceptible to keyloggers/malware&#x

I actually wrote to Telegram’s support team to get more info about this, and it seems the article has a lot of errors. The support rep linked me to this, https://telegra.ph/Wired-Errors which is Telegram’s response to all o

No, you can only reset it with an email (that you add when setting up the password) or using an already-active device.

I remember in 2017 I went to my GP in the US for a physical + bloodwork, and when I said what I was there for, the doctor recoiled a bit – because allegedly I had been booked for a 15 minute slot, rather than 30. And there was no way to do

That and the fact that reported "10k layoffs at tech company" doesn't mean 10k developers, sysadmins, and the like are now out of a job. It generally is a mixture of all roles at the company – many of which may not be "t
