Super cool but make it generate on selection or at least make it so the color picker doesn't cover the submit button after picking the color.

Yes those are trivial things that are simply an afterthought. The app ain't shit, it's how well the business can execute.

Giving DDG free advertising is something I try to do once a day. I believe DDG is the rare ethical business and deserves praise.

The Internet was better because it was not yet another way to spoonfeed culture to a complacent populace. The Internet was for interested people, now it's for everyone. It is not better now. I mean sure the video is HD but the content

I'm not saying I think this is right, but people have so little social capital compared to companies. One mistake by an employee could follow them their whole career. A massive firing by a company will be forgotten about in the news by

Right, and if the costs of running your business are greater than the revenue you can generate from market demand, then you are not running a viable business.

Labor cost does not determine a product's sale price. That is a disastrous myth. Demand changes selling price. If a company cannot price to sell to their demand because of capital or labor costs, the free market has stated that the bus

This whole thing has been scrutinized for years. A quick read shows that people that play the game, get better at... playing the game. Whoda thunk? Also, a private company gets to sop up profits from something created by public money. Boo.

I worked in kitchens for about 10 years and the most common model I am aware of is to pick up the knives weekly and drop some other ones off. I assumed the knives belonged to the sharpening folks. They were garbage knives, but garbage knive

There are no books to read or videos to watch that will teach you this. It is about being your best self and being above average at every competency on a product delivery team. Here's my approach, it is very simple: Embody the principl

You gotta take this with a huge dose of ceteris paribus. At best I will give the author 'perceived value' but it is naive to think that money earned == real value to society.

Ironically, as a couple assholes buzzed by me today on the sidewalk in Atlanta, I imagined one of the people running me over and the scooter company fighting to eschew liability once I made a legal claim. People are gonna die on these thing

Maybe not actually. They were a subsidiary of SCL Group, which according to Wikipedia shut down yesterday as well. Something awful will exist in its place, like Palantir Technologies. Nevermind about them not re-incarnating: http:/&

Yes, I had a love affair with DDG for years but switched for good about 6 months ago. The only thing I went to Google for was a better image search with non-specific search terms. This move will prevent me from doing that any longer.

I think there's an art to it. First off, if you work in that type of environment, yea you're gonna get shit from your colleagues. If that bothers you, you might need to be working somewhere else to pull it off. I would probably

Human society's categorization of Capitalism as "natural" is probably the reason most responsible for keeping us back from a better world. When you do that, greed is no longer considered a vice but a virtue.
