On one hand, yes this is very cool for a whole host of personal uses. On the other hand giving any company this level of access to as many different personal data sources as are out there scares the shit out of me. I’d feel a lot better if

TikTok isn’t doing much that our domestic social media overlords aren’t doing to us themselves. Yeah Facebook is for boomers and Instagram is for millennials, but they’re only targeting the platforms like that because TikTok has already sei

I really don’t even see the point in “deextincting” animals that went extinct due to climate or geological changes. They’re not even fit for the present ecology anymore. De-extinction of species that died due to industrialization or human s

The other thing Notion has that’s tough to replicate is the network effects. Enough “influencer” type people use it that there’s a pretty rich universe of readymade and shareable templates and workflows available for other users. These can

They turned a country that is orders of magnitude more powerful and prosperous into a client state mostly through tweets and facebook slop. It’s incredible, they’ll be studying it for decades.

For local context yeah, but in open defiance of their leadership not so much.

If the Treasury gets access to the CIA’s data that’s a data breach. Treasury does not have a compelling need to use that data and if they do, there are processes to determine that need and agreements to ensure appropriate safeguards are in

The practice of resigning rather than follow illegal/immoral orders seems ill suited to operating in a context where the leadership is an active adversary and can instantly replace you with someone who will just do the thing. I feel li

There’s no “probably” about it. There are hundreds of thousands of doses of tuberculosis treatments that aren’t being delivered and will expire. Every untreated case of TB will lead to some other number of infections and increases the odds

The young and incurious have been targeted, recruited, and brainwashed into this by tech moguls for just this reason. A steady diet of calcified resentments against vague, post-modernist buzzword nonsense like “woke” and “DEI” has created a

It wasn’t even the manipulation that was the NatSec concern, it was the amount of sensitive data they were pulling of not just TikTok users but any friends or family of theirs that they had in their contacts. This means they have data on pe

The robocalls are more rare for sure. But there’s been a huge uptick in shitty recruiters calling me with lowball offers for shitty jobs. I’ve had to remove my phone number from my resumes and delist it from indeed and stuff but it doesn’t

If you chose Android because it’s open, then the judge has just forced Google to make it more open for you. If someone chose iOS because it’s closed then the judge has decided it can stay mostly closed. Also Google is where it is because th

I was excited about the brief wave of startup grocery stores that were selling zero/minimally packaged staple goods, like “The Rounds.” But it seems like they’re just not able to hit a level of scale to where they can be price competit

Until the Apple Intelligence features were announced the only improvements I really cared about between models is the camera. Yes it’s better in a host of other ways, but not really things that would drive me to buy a new phone. I basically

They don’t have a monopoly on insight but they do have one on career prospects in the field unfortunately. (You can always cheat your way in if you have fuck-you money though, so hedge fund managers always get a say too.)

They’re already playing that game through App Review anyway though. This just gives them more granular sets of punishments they can dole out beyond just “accepted” or “rejected.” It also discourages seedy developers from just opening up cha

On the other hand, those middlemen gatekeepers also make it a big part of their value addition to me, as a customer, to throw their weight around in my favor against all the other companies I can’t be arsed to argue with. For example, one o

“Letting people go” is taking on the risk of all of those people being let go losing the ability to rent or pay their mortgages. That seems like more than an inconvenience to me if you take one of the responsibilities of being an employer a

It’s fine to take time to crunch output. What needs to be fast is interaction. If it tells you “Hang on I’m working on it” I don’t think anyone minds that as long as you can leave it to cook while doing something else.

Logistical efficiencies mostly. It ends up being a lot of additional SKUs to manage, and it would probably discourage people from moving up a price tier if they would have otherwise. So from Apple’s perspective they’re undergoing more hassl
