Apple TV+ has a unified search (although Netflix doesn't participate), but something about the handoffs between APIs is painfully sloooow and the UX can get a little confusing if you're managing multiple user profiles (both at the

The US may beat India in macro level economic factors for quite a while to come, but for a more senior professional with a marketable resume I think it's not too hard to find the positive niches. Honestly the main thing that keeps me f

I'm sure this is part of the deal with considered corp-speak, as in the stuff that ends up in formal documents. But honestly a big chunk of it is just the sort of specialized jargon that always develops in a specialized industry. It&#x

If it's based on length of engagement this does explain the trend towards verbosity I've noticed. I assumed the long leading paragraphs and introduction and background sections were just excuses to keep dropping the keywords in, b

Yeah and I guess some things, like door locks, are actual mechanical things that involve having a motor there anyway so it shouldn't be too hard to just expose some part of that mechanism in a way that indicates the state. This is done

If a function can be controlled from more than one place (such as power windows or locks that can also be controlled from the driver’s seat or key fob, or anything controllable by software via central control panel) then you can’t really ha

The benefits of progress tend to be lumpy and unevenly distributed to start. But I expect these niceties will eventually trickle out to other fields as people change industries or see how their peers' work lives differ. There's pr

I'll tell you one thing though, EHRM user interfaces would almost certainly be less dogshit if the hospital admins who procure them had to actually use them.

I've been in many different companies and the majority of all processes are not well run. That just means things are being badly run, not that you shouldn't do the right things and run them well. And no, email processes cannot be

Of all the types of meetings that could be emails, stand-ups are at the very bottom of the list. A well run, efficient stand-up can head off a day's worth of productivity sucking emails and Slack messages with a 10 min conversation.

At one point Waffle House required all of its senior executives to spend time each year working on the line. (They probably still do I just haven't checked in a few years). They feel this is important for their management team to more

That’s interesting. What you said actually reminded me of when I took my dog through obedience training and the trainer told me that a lot of working dog behaviors are basically normal wolf or wild dog impulses tuned to be way way stronger

I think popular cultural conceptions of what a "diagnosis" is are kind of weird. It seems more like people categorizing themselves with immutable labels rather than accepting that it's just a way to refer to/characterize

Johnathan Haidt speculates (and I'm inclined to agree), that young boys tend to do a lot more of their online socializing through video-games and less time on the algorithmically curated feeds so they're less subject to the weird

I don't know if "They're better at hiding it" is sufficiently negated by responding with "I've never seen it." Also crying isn't the only form of emotional breakdown. It can also get sublimated into r

That's basically what Facebook was (though really it drew more from Friendster). As I remember it, the big appeal of Facebook over MySpace was that the interface was clean and that people felt like migrating from MySpace to The Faceboo

The downside is, the types of skills and mindsets you have to cultivate to make a lot of money might actually be deleterious to being able to succeed or thrive in other fields. I think of a lot of people who came up in the management consul
