"They described the immense pressure on companies to pursue short-term results over creating value for future decades and generations." Where does this pressure come from? The board? Can't you appoint a board that is long-te

As mentioned, this was Google's Smart (display) Ads not their traditional search ads. I've had good success with the latter but decided to try the former on their suggestion.

I can respect that some people find it creepy, and I personally use AdBlock, which blocks HotJar as others mentioned. That said, I find a tool that records anonymous sessions detached from any sort of PII or even IP address much less offens

I promise I'm not a shill, but yes I do indeed love HotJar and find it essential for getting new sites off the ground. I've uncovered countless UX improvements by watching HotJar recordings. And thanks for your generous free tier!

I observed the same with Google's "Smart" display ads. I ran a campaign for a couple of weeks and watched all of the traffic with HotJar. The first fishy thing was 99.9% of the traffic came from foreign countries despite the

Funny and all too familiar, especially during Covid. For a 700+ page take on this theme, check out The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. If you finish it, you'll at least feel like you accomplished something worthwhile.

Interesting, thanks. I suppose I am terrified that others I love might die in my lifetime, but my own end of existence elicits only sadness/empathy.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think most people fear the state of being dead, which is what this essay is centered around. "Fear of death" is more commonly the fear of the approach of the end of life, ranging from the pro

A defunded part of the organization "working on a plan". Does not sound super promising.

Sounds like they are leaving the site up but not writing new content? That could actually be worse than just taking the site down as it will quickly grow outdated.

As a Tesla owner, I welcome the competition and hope it comes to America soon. I like my M3 but do not like driving an expensive car seen as a status symbol. My criteria are 300 miles of range and large enough for a family and unfortunately

I created a site intended for family photo/video sharing and it did not take long for people to start uploading penis pics. The weird thing is they don't even have a reason or recipient. They just want their penis out there on the

Thank you for you work on Nano! I'll never understand the elitism around text editors in the Linx world but am glad a user-friendly option like Nano exists.
