I can't shake the notion that these "Kidfluencers" are exploited by their parents and large companies in order to seduce other children (maybe this is obvious but I want to keep a seed of doubt in my mind that these kids actu

I remember a (deleted) tweet from the rapper Nipsey Hussle where he posted his payout breakdown. It's been reblogged since deletion and is preserved: >ATTENTION EVERYONE: > >1 Million Streams on YouTube = $690 > >1 Milli

I certainly hope that Mozilla can/will detect and punish this sort of abuse.

Yes there is an echo chamber of design, that leads to a lot of "FOMO" and "Keeping up with the Joneses". Of course you can have a perfectly functional social network, for instance, running on vanilla Bootstrap. Nothing

In addition, Coca Cola never ran ads on IRC spliced into channels (as far as I know ;)).

I only have a peripheral knowledge of Twitch, but don’t they have a similar solution to what you’re outlining here? There is a “public” channel, on major streams this is full of spam and nonsense, then a separate channel for subscribers whe

I’ve heard at Amazon, if you are on a PIP, if you manager tells you to juggle bananas on a unicycle and you don’t make a damn good attempt you can be fired. Probably hyperbole, but still.

FWIW I have heard that org leaders can manually insert questions, deny some default questions, and generally tailor the Connections to the types of things they want tactical feedback on. I contracted for a different Amazon team and saw plen

Wubby has a couple videos that are great deep dives into seedy, exploitative, multi-million view videos run by obviously sketchy account networks.

> new people would have to move to NYC specifically for Amazon (or to fill vacancies created by people leaving other companies to work at Amazon) This has certainly been true for Seattle, fwiw.

Personal stuff is for blogs. The Washington Post is a business, a respected newspaper, an internationally renowned journalistic publication. It’s not a soapbox for Bezos... In fact, why not bring up that he owns one of the most heavily traf

To be more clear, I didn't say 27 craploads. I said 27 flushes. I would say most healthy people take ~1 crap per day. And, of course, this is one of the smaller and more compact marine toilets at West Marine. And of course, emptying a

I think you're being intentionally dismissive at the cost of realizing that basic, essential waste management (at a small scale) is more or less a solvable problem for people who want to live nomadic lifestyles. Is it a tedious chore f

I’d like to introduce to the invention of marine toilets. They are small, portable, self-contained flushing toilets with a sealed waste chamber that is detachable and can be emptied (ideally into a permanent toilet). My in-laws have one on

Seattle will always be congested due to sheer geography. It’s surrounded by water on all sides. Want to go east? You have two bridges, and neither one is particularly better for the suburbs of Bellevue and Co., since that area lies between

I have a family member who is addicted to cannabis. Maybe not in the same way that opiate or alcohol addicts are physically addicted, but this person smokes all day long from a small vape. First thing in the morning, all day, every night be

Also, or alternatively, make sure you have your loan approval in hand as well. I recently bought a car and thought I got an okay rate at the dealer through CapitalOne, but they “figured out” a way to get my interest rate a whole point lower

If the first thing you have to do to a software is customize it, you’ve already lost on usability. How many thousands of potential users simply created a cube and tried to click it, realize that on top of the already overwhelming UI you don

Related note: the latest season of the podcast Serial touches on a case where a kid was arrested and beaten over a joint. He thought he was in Cleveland, where you won’t be arrested for such a small amount of weed... but he was actually in

What’s WeWork’s “product” again? Exposed brick and free beer? Seems like the only roadblock to successful emulation here is money and property — both of which CBRE has. You can hire someone for the interior design. They already split off a
