There was a company in my city that did something like this. They didn't survive. They crawled the data, but also had a services component to do something with the data. Like, they had contracts with pharma companies to search for indi

What is a "vendeta-developer" in this context? (Was that meant as dash or em-dash? Are you speaking of a noun -- "vendeta-developers" -- or did you misspell "vendetta" and are explaining that the vendetta is a

I feel like Twitter does this for me. I'll go over the limit on a long tweet, and I'll go back and trim and exchange long words for short ones and remove words that don't contribute anything. The result will fit, and basicall

I watched some order takers at a food service company a few years back. They worked in a green screen program -- not sure if it was DOS, or some terminal. The speed at which they worked was unreal. Their hands never left the keyboard. They

Someone else did some testing, and they seem to have found the problem, which was indeed a visual issue that an algorithm misinterpreted. https://www.truthorfiction.com/stand-up-for-what-you-believe...

I know that post, and I think it fooled a visual algorithm. Look in the background, and the people in front of the light poles look like they're hanging from gallows.

Your first point was my first thought as well -- who is this guy, and why should I trust that he's an expert on this?

TikTok is enabling some awesome creativity, which is weird because I can't figure out why it's anything new. Like, why did this one app take off all of a sudden?

Jeff Speck has written a great book called "Walkable City." I have nothing to do with city planning, but I found it super-interesting. https://www.amazon.com/Walkable-City-Downtown-Save-America/d...

I was at a conference in Australia once (I'm an American). I met a company there that sold software to local governments. I asked them if they ever considered expanding to the US. They answered something like this: >No, because gove

This article is entitled "There's No Such Thing as Quality Time." It's oriented towards families, but it makes the case that there's no levels of time, just...time, we spend together. Things happen in the cracks bet

I absolutely think you lose something from lack of face-to-face contact. Some of the most productive leadership and decison-making sessions I've had came from sitting around a table or sharing a meal or a drink with a team, and going b

The "front" page would be the default load of an infinite scroll, before anything has been added. Pagination or infinite scroll -- the initial load is likely the same.

I agree with this. I feel like infinite scroll gets a bad rap. Pagination is no better. There are some sites and use cases where infinite scroll is a huge usability improvement. (I know -- pagination gives you a URL to a specific page of re
