Anecdote: the majority of non-tech business owners I know passionately hate Google. These are guys in their 40s and 50s. The reasons may differ, but the hatred does not. For them, the reasons are more about manipulating search results to co

What a great write up. The high level survey of the landscape was insightful, and directly comparing the challenges of ML/AI with their "solved" counterparts was great. Excellent read. Bookmarked.

Interesting, if I give email another look I'll check it out. Does it have a way to auto unsubscribe from and delete promotional content and other non essential stuff?

The death rate is most likely lower due to a higher percentage of the infected being lower risk. White people under 50, to be specific. As many as 50% of new hospitalizations in Texas are under 50. The problem will be if they infect higher

I've saved hundreds of hours by ignoring email and I highly recommend that option as well. By keyboard shortcuts I'm referring to any software that one uses frequently, whether text editor, email, video editing, analytics, or some

Yeah exactly this. Luck is arguably the most important variable, so optimize for it. It's less like buying lottery tickets and more like betting on horses but with outsized returns. If you bet on one horse, in one race, you'll pro

Yeah $5 is the cost of a couple clicks or scrolling past 200-300 ads. On Google that's maybe one click, probably half a click.

Do you know the numbers for daily active users or weekly active users? And do those numbers include messenger? It would be fascinating to see some histograms of users and usage. Especially one that compares ad buyers, page managers, and per

I think people do consider the money value of time? If you're an employee, it's irrelevant. If you're self employed, the mental overhead and switching costs are high. And if you are the person for which those things are true,

The bubble is deflating instead of popping. First, lower salaries for remote workers. Next, lower salaries for on premises workers. Then, lower salaries for everyone. What they're trying to say is that there's deflationary pressur

UAVs are a trend that I believe will be far bigger than most people are expecting. Autonomous cars are a difficult problem, autonomous drones are much simpler. Package delivery, food delivery, air taxis, and a lot of previously cost prohibi

Beautifully designed website that communicates the issue at hand superbly. I wonder what grounds Apple thinks they have to do this? It really seems like an above the law scenario.

> Maybe not worth 30% but it is worth something. If Apple allowed the market to set the price, we would know what this activity is worth. They don't, that's the issue.

Google is not the website being visited, and if it's not a big deal, then why doesn't it say, "Google will still track you using third party analytics, font requests, ad pixels, single sign on, and recaptcha"? I mean, if

This is my biggest complaint with these supposedly static site generators. The resulting sites are anything but static. My biggest regret of 2020 so far is agreeing to use Gridsome for a site, promised by the docs and a dev that it was a st

Inflation happens when the dollar is no longer the global reserve currency. That may not be for awhile, but the more debt the government takes on the more likely it is to happen. (The US government can literally print money to pay debt, but
