I'm not sure how anyone accidentally fell into the smart TV trap, honestly. From day 1, all smart TVs had horrible latency when it comes to navigating through menus and screens. I'm glad for that, because it stopped me from ever b

Apple TV connected via HDMI to a big screen TV not connected to the internet. 2-3 second boot up. No ads. Snappy interface. No complaints. No bloatware. No adware. Why does this solution not work for you? Does your TV not work when you tur

What is the general consensus on ABS braking in motorcycles? Really curious to hear from anyone who has rode a bike equipped with it. For some reason the idea of a bike interfering with brake controls seems like it could feel unsafe if the

I don't think the GP meant to say that AI doesn't make products more useful. I read it as them being frustrated with the over-use of "AI-powered X" -- when everything is AI powered, is anything AI powered? Favorite quote

80% of our recruiter's time is spent trying to figure out which candidates are real and which are fake. It's really, really bad. We post a role, get 500 applicants, and nearly all of them are not legitimate. They all look amazing,

Let’s try to turn this into a productive thread that adds some value here. What is it about enterprise IT that is preventing us from building a better alternative? How can we get around those hurdles?

Your comment is unnecessarily dismissive. Disrupting the space now doesn't seem any less hard now than it was 10 years ago when slack and zoom did it. But yes, if your point is that it's hard, then indeed. It is hard. Should that

Due to local law changes, my 50k population town has had 10 weed shops open up in the past 6 months. Previous to that, the closest store was 4 hours away in another state. No idea if it's just a coincidence, but people seem to be drivi

Sure, I agree. But this is a hit piece. For any hit piece, I think it’s important for readers to know the motivations of the author, regardless of the validity of the claims.

Major red flag to say anything negative about prior employers during interviews. It’s pretty simple. Just put a positive lens on everything. Yes, you’ll need to paint a new (positive) story in your mind that might be different from what you

This is the only answer. Try it, and assess the results. Heck, you can even A/B test it by randomly splitting your leads between humans and AI, then pick whichever has the higher ROI. A better example (rather than replacing sales reps

That’s not really how it works, though. The price of your options is set based on when you join the company. If the company is already valuable by the time you join, you’re essentially buying in at the current valuation with the hope that t
