And the more date-specific 'best thing 2025' articles also update titles to match current year. Email is already a wasteland of notifications and things I haven't unsubscribed to after buying something. Web is now a wasteland

Depending on who is doing the valuation, I'm sure this is already a consideration. Like when Coinbase acquired Earn for $110m-ish. Was Earn worth that? Absolutely not. Since Coinbase and Earn shared investors, it was merely a convenien

It's both a clickbait title and probably true. If the title was 'no evidence for human completion of longest possible contiguous rail journey' would you still think them provincial? Would you still click?

My fave issue is Android as the moment is when I try the Gemini app is automatically changes the default assistant app to Gemini. And since Gemini isn't an assistant app, it doesn't work for that :/ But on your topic, my part

I think most companies have a weak playbook for this kind of interaction. I once bought a product (and I'm going to be deliberately vague) from a company whose customers are mostly very famous people around the globe. The URL for my or

Given the stakes, it was an inexpensive way to remain calibrated against this kind of attack. Sharing the information is also great. People seem to be expecting cyber-thriller level heist antics here, when it's often much simpler.

They mention about $50m coming in annually, I assume that's from film and tv rights. What does big tech have to do with that?
