I’m very curious about the numbers that Apple/Alphabet see internally, as I couldn’t find anything from quick searches. It’s just very hard to imagine that it’s an actual widespread issue. I can think of two demographics who experience

Outside of small bubbles, it’s hard to believe that anyone really cares, since it’s a resolved problem in most of the world. Without exaggeration, every person I’ve met from Europe, LATAM, East/West/South Asia, Africa, and Austral

If you released iPod/iPhone right now, it wouldn't be as successful. I really hope VR pans out, as I always imagined it would be fun. But from every headset I've tried so far, the novelty wears off. My current problems are -

If 1P was aiming to get attention of an average consumer, Apple might start eating their lunch. SSH key manager is great, but the amount of people who needs it is very small compared to general market.

You’re most likely right, but people achieve the same result with having one or two children as well. It’s having minimum of 3 children that is needed to have a population growth, and that’s sometimes a bad life choice for a young woman now

Not 35+, think of mid/late 20s as it used to be about 20 years ago. Peak health, some disposable income, educated, but also good age to bear a child. If you start having children at 35-40, it’ll be harder for you to have 3+ children, b

Given the opportunity, people will do anything else than have more than 2 children, which is the requirement to increase the population. There’s just better stuff to do than spend multiple years taking care of the baby. Any argument other t

50 shades of hot garbage, unironically, is one of the books that brought smut back into the mainstream. As much as I have no interest in reading the series, have to give credits to the author for making something incredibly popular. We can

Watching a movie takes too long. We just need an AI movie-summarizer that'll convert a 2 hour long movie into a bite-sized 60 second long TikTok for human consumption.

It’s the same problem in every desirable major city in the world, especially if you do relative comparisons within the country. Demand won’t die unless we start seeing widespread depopulation that can’t be offset through immigration, and fr

Yeah, but it really doesn't matter. Majority of my friends are not in tech space, and not a single one would care about it. It's similar to how I don't care about some sports team winning the championship, or Taylor Swift, or

The reality is super majority of user base don’t care about data privacy or what government can see as long as it doesn’t affect their day to day lives. There was a big outrage when WhatsApp changed their privacy policy, everyone is still u

It’s a bit weird since Google is taking over the “burden of proof”-like liability. Up until now, once user clicked on a search result, they mentally judged the website’s credibility, not Google’s. Now every user will judge whether data comi

It’s so sad to see how major chains are doing a quick reno and removing most of the seating. Just like the author, I also live in a dense Canadian neighbourhood, and there’s a Starbucks a block away from my place which pulled the same thing

You're right, but let’s be honest, most of “spray painting” is just tagging. Even as a kid I found big spray painted murals “cool”, but thought tagged places as “ran down”. I met a guy a few years ago who told stories about spray paint

I agree about the jobs, but not about the web part. Any image or blob of text have absolutely lost its meaning. Every comment has an undertone of “is it written by a human?” question surrounding it. It wasn’t really the case 5 years ago, an

I was just discussing the whole Zyn craze that’s going with some friends, and it’s amazing to see in real time how it’s becoming so popular. It’s something I have absolutely no desire to try, but looks like influencers, unfortunately, have

I would classify unproblematic drug use like the majority of people who get high at home, house parties, or ravers rolling on X. Basically not being a nuisance to the public during/after they consume. Very subjective opinion though, so

Facebook is just groups and marketplace, sprinkled with some ads, at least for my age group and area. But groups are very active, especially neighbourhood ones, where I get my hyper local news basically.

I have absolutely no skin in the game, but to my understanding Tesla’s entire valuation heavily depends on being constant news cycles. It has positive impacts (like gigantic growth rate with limited marketing in the past 10 years) and negat

About 20% of all iPhones are sold in China. So yeah, make your own conclusions.

It's owned by Pinduoduo. Publicly traded on Nasdaq, and looking at their numbers roughly, they probably have a lot of marketing budget from where it came from.

Yeah, fair. I’ve never used it to be honest, but from what I’ve heard from my friends it’s good at “cheap crap that I need” category. My point wasn’t advertising it to someone, but saying even the giants like Amazon could see its lunch bein

If you believe their stats, they have 70M+ active users in US, so I’m assuming you’re just not their target customer.

It works until people look at things like Temu, and figure out “why should I get from Amazon, when I can buy something for the same quality”. It’s just a battle of giants.

It’s easy, it’s free for the customer, and with feature’s like iPhone’s “code autofill”, it’s the easiest UX. Swim swapping happens to such a small number of people that it’s not worth the effort for anyone involved. I hate it myself, but s

It might be an age thing (late 20s), but I can assure I would have absolutely zero social life if I didn’t have my phone — all planning, catch ups, bar hangouts, exchanging numbers while travelling and many more things initiate through one

I completely agree, but one thing that bothered me since 2020 - local municipality posted some news on their website, and people on our neighbourhood group were genuinely complaining why they did not post it on Facebook, since that’s what t

I’m sorry for sounding so harsh, but have you been through public or private school where you’re some sort of a group of at least 50+ children? Sense of belonging is so natural, especially at that age, that you can’t tell a kid that it does

If you have children or niblings, you’ll realize how ostracized from the community one gets if they have no access to social media. It would work if parents banded together and nobody in school would get access, but otherwise it just become
