I don’t disagree with you. I would say that these are mental health challenges that can not only be exacerbated, but caused in the first place in some cases by having this technology so readily available. The other commenters’ point about g

Exactly. Being held accountable, and knowing you are being held accountable, could likely stem some amount of bad behavior from the start, and at the very least it makes bad behavior harder to conceal.

My comment isn’t specific to AirTags, but there’s a much larger conversation that needs to be had about this gray area of stalking capabilities that are now built into many mainstream products. Here’s a pattern I’ve seen play out more than

I think it’s equally fair to ask if the future is more distributed in nature. Yes, maybe Austin becomes more of a concentrated home of tech than it was before, but haven’t we seen it proven out over the last two years that companies can be

LinkedIn is cringe, but it also has virtually no vitriol compared to every other social network on earth. I’ll take it.

You aren’t wrong! I saw this recently and it blew my mind… https://www.instagram.com/p/CYtk8HVr3SP/?utm_medium=copy_lin... Police actually spend a tiny portion of their time on what you think they spend their time

There was an initial flurry of officers and detectives right off the bat but it felt like theater and there hasn’t been any follow up that I haven’t initiated myself.

The unfortunate truth is that police have better things to spend their time on. Heck, I had a nighttime home invasion/$4k+ of goods stolen in Boston 9 months ago and as far as I can tell the police couldn’t even be bothered to get thei

There was a long period of purchasing music from stores before Napster was even an option. Having to spend $12-$16 on a CD you intended to listen to one, maybe two songs on absolutely stunted the amount of music people listened to for a ver

Exactly. The COVID vaccines have been proven over and over again to reliably prevent serious illness across the original strain and every variant of concern we’ve seen since then. The fact that they initially also largely prevented infectio

AirPods are great when they work, frustrating when they don’t. Mine seem to be in a frequent pattern of not connecting to my phone automatically lately, and I couldn’t tell you why. I don’t feel like that was happening nearly as often a few

This is still true in pockets but in some spaces it’s falling out of favor. Companies and leaders know that they need to worry about adoption, so there’s slow but increasing focus on end user UX and incorporating these folks into the buying

It’s a pretty common winter camping trick to fill a water bottle with boiling water, put a sock over it, and put in your sleeping bag while you sleep. Works extremely well!

To do lists are part of a larger system that has made me a hundred times more productive. For me, yes, it’s about remembering what I need to do in a given day, and holding myself accountable to getting it done. Mapping out goals and the man

Your comment doesn’t address the hardest part of this problem - that hospitals are completely full, stretched to the maximum, and turning away critically ill patients. It’s easy to say this is terrible and I don’t think anyone would disagre

Agreed. At least where I live (a major American city) there’s already no expectation or enforcement once you enter a bar, despite us having an indoor mask mandate that people are relatively good about following everywhere else. I’d be willi

I put myself firmly in the camp of “vaxxed, boosted, and done”, and I’d say that’s the attitude of more people than we all might think. I think you have the theoretical game plan right, but I’d say that #3 is no longer within the realm of p

This makes me think back to the mountain of criticism Andrew Cuomo got for moving COVID positive patients to nursing homes in the early days of the pandemic. Seems like an unfortunate but necessary step when hospitals are overwhelmed. Can’t

Yes, this is a solvable problem. My hunch is that there’s no incentive for bike manufacturers to deal with this. If there were permanent serial numbers that could be attributed to the owner, they’d have to respond to thousands of requests f

Agree 100%. This got me thinking about a quote that I heard recently that has stuck with me - it was something to the effect of “being right and being effective can be two very different things.” Unfortunately, a lot of the time the person

Come on. There is still plenty of potential for Twitter regardless of whether or not it has a “web 3 angle”.

What a pessimistic take. Some corners of "fintech" are worthy of scrutiny, but talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Go talk to someone with bad credit who can't get a loan. Go talk to someone who had to wait t

I wouldn’t be willing to guess much about what the workplace will look like in 12 months. But longer term, I think coercing people to go back to the office is going to turn out to have been a seriously dated and misguided worldview.

The next 6 months will be really telling. I know many people who are being groomed by their employers to feel good about a January return. “We’re asking you to come in three days a week if you are within committing distance of the office, o

Electric lawnmowers and leafblowers have come such a long way. My electric lawnmower weighs next to nothing, needs virtually no maintenance, and it is only about as loud as a box fan. I get 2-3 mows out of it on a single charge, and the upf

I don’t know how math education has evolved since the late 90s - early 2000s when I experienced it, but it was far more damaging to my self esteem and my relationship with math than anything else. I learned from a pretty early age that solv

Wow. I’m curious where this happened because in the US it’s the polar opposite - any risk and it’s impossible to get the healthcare system to move, not stop. Glad to hear that your mom is alive today.
