I prefer searching too, but sometimes it's nice to just "put TV on." I do this now with Amazon Prime Video, which has a "Live" feature that mimics a guide akin to Channel Surfer. Also my dad (age 85) struggles with

“Yet as Google does the Googling, humans no longer visit the websites from which the information is gleaned. ” Can you blame them? These publishers’ content is buried under paywalls, logins, screen-engulfing ads, deceptive headlines, the li

They want your email address so they can spam you with newsletters, which increase retention.

I would try to find data like "tasks over 30 days old never get completed" and tie the decision (and marketing) to something like that.

I send an email to my manager every week with two headings: “This week” and “Next week.” 3-5 concise bullet points under each heading, no sub-bullets. I avoid bullets like “Met with Sal about XYZ” or other wheel-spinning stuff that doesn’t

Same. My current job resulted from: seeing a hiring manager post about the role, applying at the link she shared in her post, and spending 2 hours crafting a DM to her. Interviewed and got the job, and knew nobody at the company.

I would be interested in trying the product if the content is as good or better than the content here. More features will not get me to switch, however.

I live in Colorado but still use the accountant in NYC I've had since 2003. It's typically around $400 -- I know it has gone up over the years, but I haven't really noticed or felt the increases.

Original photography sometimes has tricky licensing — photos are good for only 5 years, then have to be renewed. That’s what photo editors at these magazines do. The text content itself is usually a one-and-done deal though.

Thanks for this list. In 2014, I switched to a vegan diet with a heavy emphasis on restricted oil consumption too, and the weight peeled off. I originally did it for dietary/health reasons, but over the years I've developed more o

Did you stay vegan after switching? I.e., are you getting your protein calories via a vegan diet?

Quora also comingles ads with content, and the ads look almost identical to content. Quora has become unpleasant and unusable in the past decade, and I only end up there on accident. I just logged in out of curiosity, and I have an avalanch

It was Anker or Bose — just now I searched “Bose noise-cancelling headphones,” and on the results screen there’s first a carousel of a bunch of JBL headphones, followed by two results that are some brands called Raycon and Tozo. If I squint

This is definitely the worst thing about Amazon. I pay them $120/year or whatever, and I search a specific product by a specific brand, and the entire browser screen shows me brands and even products I didn't even search for.

Noteplan [1] has stuck for at least 3 years now. I like that in addition to old-school notes pages, each day has its own page. I capture notes and to-dos when I'm in meetings, and it has a separate view that will aggregate all your to-

This is exactly how I understand it. There’s a lot ink getting spilled about “summarizing isn’t illegal” and “what about Cliffs Notes” but that isn’t what this is about. If the verbatim examples that have been going around are true, that’s

Is that "the chalk"? When I lived in NYC that was legendary -- you could watch a roach touch it and almost immediately fall over dead. The only thing that worked for me was sealing up holes, and that wasn't 100%. I tried the

Both can be bad. I will say that the best PM I ever worked with had zero technical skills beyond HTML and CSS. She was a master of clarity and communication, and she knew how to give developers what they needed to focus. At some point, tech

OP: Please update this if you find an answer. I just rolled out a Docusaurus-powered documentation site myself — my first persona is developers, so getting them to update Markdown isn’t too much to ask, but in 2024 I plan to expand the scop

I’ve been getting increasingly crazy permutations of login flows recently. I swear one of them recently was: Enter email address, go fish code out of email inbox, cut and paste code in, then get a password field.

“Bandmates” is bad, and dishonest. It’s like Pfizer calling every employee “doctors.” Stolen valor.

It made none for me, even with $400 corded headphones. I recently ditched both Apple Music and Spotify and am using Youtube Music, which comes with Youtube Premium.

Coincidentally I was looking at the graphs on that site today. I think layoffs are slowing down, but the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas can be treacherous.
