Honestly, URLs are a potentially massive threat vector themselves. Are the urls associated with individual users either directly or in a bucketed fashion? Seems like no to the former but the release leaves a lot to be desired.

Likely and somehow even worse. Edit: Actually, Elon doesn’t seem to do polls without wanting an outcome and his follow up “Careful what you wish for” would support Sacks.

The journalist were linking to an aggregator* of public FAA data of a jet that Elon may or may not be on… not “his location” *granted he had to do a tiny bit of work to counter the insufficient obfuscation the FAA allows for privacy.

- No sudden bans for actions occurred in the timeframe of a TOS that was explicitly interpreted as allowing them. Elon changed the TOS to obfuscate from it being a personal and vengeful decision.

Agree that the current situation was not ideal, but it was habituated at this point and now they're replacing one non-ideal solution with another one (in my opinion). If they want to differentiate products, how about rebranding as Tale

I never understand why a brand with great name recognition and branding does this kind of thing. Also, I'm really getting to the point where all scrolling low information eye-candy landing pages should have a giant <Take me to a sim

More than that, how elastic is the demand for ads on Twitter? Were these companies barely outbidding for the slots? If there is a drop in CPM, will it bounce back from reallocated ad spend from other platforms? Hell, I've build dashboa

There's major overlap of sub-brands in some regions: * Mountain states: King Sooper vs Albertson's * PNW: QFC/Fred Meyer vs Safeway * California: Ralph's vs Safeway And that's only the regions I'm familiar with

The penalty point is an important one for the above. If you only plan on holding them for the minimum of 12 months and the second half interest rate is 3% then your effective annualized return is 5.48% (1.0962^.5*1.03^.25). >I-bonds issu

I love my Brother, but their Mac support is (was?) laughable. Their main support path is to download the Brother app to load a PDF you output to your filesystem and send it to your printer. I'm clueless about the subtleties of printer

Might this gain them marginal .NET developers? Maybe they have reason to believe that this will accelerate growth.

I think that’s fair psychologically, but as long as I’m on a level playing field I’d rather have a reasonable upper bound or I’m going to feel forced to overly polish to stand out.

I'd be okay with "homework" if either 1) it's truly time bounded via programmatic cutoffs or 2) it's paid. For time bounding, I love the time estimates they give you for a decent sized problem. A major company told

IMO, you should be watching the month over month numbers and only using YoY to contextualize. Looking at the delta of YoY data doesn't tell you much without knowing the rate for the monthly report that was dropped and the monthly repor

I personally agree, but from their view is the competition/substitution another highly scalable virtual fitness subscription or is it a trendy cycling class (Soul Cycle, Orange Theory, etc)? If it's more the latter, then $40 could

This isn't a great article IMO (I say as someone who is a big fan of qualitative user research, mixed methods, etc). Per the first example, many types of attitudinal data can be quantified and conflating attitudinal data with qualitati

This shows also shows preferences modified in indirect ways such as about:preferences, devtools, etc. Helpful to filter a list of potentially manually toggled prefs, but not a 1:1 filter.

I think the about:config utility I want is something that keeps track of manually altered preferences. Ideally something like userChrome.css where I can simply override/extend behavior. This is probably already a thing, but it's a
