Sounds like they actually mean competing for people's attention rather than competing on an economic level. When people are essentially addicted to TikTok + Instagram they don't have time to interact with the fun projects the stud

It's surrounded by quotation marks...because it's a quotation. Pretty standard. I'd estimate about half the headlines I see on the BBC News website these days have one of two words in quotes. It seems to allow them to create

I would be interested to see what would happen if Spotify changed the free account to something really small (and maybe annual). For example $10 a year. I'd guess that's still small enough that most people will pay it. There are a

It's also still remarkably cheap for unlimited access to all the music ever recorded.

Something I didn't realise until a while after reading this was that the author of the tweets was previously a large Gumroad customer + now runs a competing business (ConvertKit Commerce). I believe the events he's talking about a

Side point: why are regulators letting Tesla owners install beta self-driving software? And why are Tesla allowed to ship it to them? Seems stupidly risky.

Yes, but it didn't happen 30 years ago. We have the ability to let kids learn from home and save more lives by doing so.

I'm willing to bet if you did, you wouldn't know. It's not something anyone is going to brag about. Similar to kids getting free school meals or any other 'benefit' for being poor. When you have these problems you t

His point is that young people have had to rely on the internet for education most of the past year and that’s been difficult for less wealthy people.

Interesting! Didn't know that and it makes a lot more sense from that angle.

Can anybody explain how this makes sense for Square? Square + Tidal seems like a bizarre combination with neither benefiting in any significant way from being owned by the same company.

Is “Little League” a national organisation? I always assumed it just meant a kids baseball game and that would be something run by the local community. If it’s the former...why does such an organisation even need to exist?

You're jumping to conclusions about the technical implementation based on the button text? It is enforced. If the users chooses the 'don't track' option in the dialogue the app does not get access to the IDFA.

'True' fans don't just stream a musicians music. They buy bundles where a physical copy of the album comes with a t-shirt + poster etc. and costs $60. They go to every gig + spend $50 on merchandise. They pay $25 to watch a l

The title here is deceiving. The author did not pay for playlist placements. The services they used allow you to submit your song to multiple blogs to be reviewed. If they like the song they may write about it and some may include it on pla

I wonder if they're getting a lot less value out of the data than they thought they would (I'm presuming data to aid in targeting is how they justify free unlimited storage)?

Oversupply might mean lower prices (or easier to get a ride) but it also means it's almost impossible for any driver to make a living. That leaves you with drivers who can only drive part time/as a second job while old fashioned f

Read receipts are generally something the recipient agrees to and are visible to both parties or none. A tracking pixel is secretive and the recipient gets no benefit or choice. Very different implementations.
