Hi all, I wanted to share a plugin that I wrote for Claude code. I’ve been working full time with Claude code over the last few months. I’m generally a big fan and have been using it for product thinking and development. I found it frustrat

The U.S. has many tactics at its disposal: 1. Sanctioning bad actors: Placing wide ranging economic sanctions on bad actors is a potent tool but it can backfire. U.S can penalize any company that does business with sanctioned individuals. I

The fact that I worked in ad tech doesn't automatically make an advocate for ad targeting. I don't like being tracked either. As to your question on why it's being done if it isn't effective, I believe there are two reas

Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, etc. have persistent cookies. They are mapped to your profile in their database. If you delete the cookie, it reappears the next time you sign in. These companies can collect vast amounts of data on you, which allows

As someone who worked in ad tech for half a decade, I fail to understand the fuss about cookie based targeting. We're speaking of databases mapping data to random numbers stored in a file that can easily be deleted. The real issue is a

Could you elaborate on why you believe security tokens to be a bad idea?

The only thing that stands out in that piece is that they're collecting advertising device IDs. Those IDs are anonymous and resettable. Snapchat doesn't need them internally since they have a more persistent identifier, i.e. snapc

There’s likely strict quality control being enforced by Snapchat. It will be interesting to see them scale this. Given that a small number of companies are responsible for a large proportion of brand advertising spend, I would posit that

In this case, thoughts do seem to be the upper bound. If we are talking about linear streams of vocalised thought, then I suspect we might not get much further from where we are. I, for one, find it harder to stream thoughts faster than I c

Yes, I'm wondering if there is any potential for leap frog advancements.

I see your point, and I would argue that both the rate of output and quality of output matter. You're right that one doesn't necessarily count without the other. A human could produce hundreds of gigabytes of pseudo-random numbers

Are there ways to increase the rate at which humans can output information?

Honest question for people who are opposed to this update and think it should be opt-in: what do you see as the downsides or pitfalls of sending anonymised usage info to Homebrew / Google Analytics?

>i'm sure the ad networks are laughing their way to the bank with an extension like this. Definitely not. If this were to catch on, the whole ad ecosystem would feel the impact. Ad networks have advertiser relationships to look afte

Staying somewhere cheap gives you a tangible advantage but also puts you at several intangible disadvantages. At my first startup in the UK, we decided to base out of Birmingham instead of London, which reduced our living expenses by 70% an

In its defense, the Economist has been known for its handsome catchphrases since before the modern clickbait era began. Take their covers for example. I don't think they're bowing to pressure -- just doing what they do.
