This is good advice. People who do good work, and get good at craft, do it as much for their sense of pride as they do for some kind of reward. Rewards are nice, but the joy you get from them are fleeting. Enjoying the work itself is evergr

Yeah it's just decent strategy on their part (I hate to say). Even if they don't profit directly off of the TikTok deal they look like absolute bosses for being able to "give" Americans what they wanted all along.

They'll just ban you from the service.

You can follow accounts, but you don't need to follow accounts. The UX is dead simple: scroll and watch content of interest to you. Tiktok handles the rest

YouTube essentially does what every big stupid US-based social media algorithm does: If you like cat videos, it serves you more and more cat videos. Because YT is longform content and the UI isn't a scrolling feed it's OK. I appre

100% it's what happened. And the craziest part is that it worked because Biden went along with it. It's easy enough to argue Trump played hardball to negotiate for any divestiture that may occur; because that was his goal all alon

They'll be on RedNote within 2 weeks. Other's have said it; but TikTok was such a nice format for media. It emphasized what the creator can provide its users; what content was legit; entertaining, informative, etc. Whereas Instagr

It might not even be about fire suppression. Oxygen and different gases can pool oddly in different types of gravity. If oxygen was leaking, it may be as simple as making sure a vacuum de-gases a chamber before going full throttle. We know

I believe the algo is somewhat timezone based, too. Very common for ppl to be served Chinese or asian influencer content after 12pm (EST). So common, in fact, most of the western users begin posting "whelp, time to go to bed!" The

This doesn't make sense to me. We all get better at a talent by practicing it. We make mistake. We watch others. We determine our own preferences for what we like/don't like. We learn, grow. Kids figure it out. How does stayi

Disagree. If you post a job then reneg on it that still leaves folks out in the cold who are, in earnest, looking for work. Mistakes happen, and I don't blame hiring managers for the shifting financial landscapes they often have to fac

I think this is where it will go inevitably, with only specialized AI tools being features baked into products you like. A lot of our opinions on AI (like the one you just conveyed) stems from now nascent the design thinking around AI truly

I don't think this is it. At least, you're not pointing your ire at the right tech. Instrumental acts aren't as popular as they once were. In the cities recorded beats make up more than half the gig. These are performed by a

I love all the bellyaching about the NYT missing that election coverage money. Perfect time to go on strike. They're only asking for a 2.5% salary increase YoY (which is very inflation-y) and some WFH days. That's a pretty mild as

There are a lot of calendar mods I've made in GCal that I wanted to UNDO, but couldn't because it had evaporated by the time my cursor got to it.

Part of me wants something like this to break my addiction to the back catalog of apps I doom scroll. Part of me knows that it's my own doing. The UI and industrial design of this is cute and approachable. Love it.

Jobs' demanding personality and toxic managerial behaviour are well well well documented. Most of the documovies on him pay special attention to it. But he also did marvellous things for the advent of human-centric tech design that has

Sounds like their lignin based product is sturdier than the flimsy ones on the market; and they're looking to scale up consumer based uses in a big way. I don't think there's anything considerably groundbreaking here besides

I think it's pretty clear the microplastics fear-mongering doesn't have a lot of credible evidence to back it. Of course no one wants tiny plastic particles floating around the environment. But the claim here is... does it harm yo

Yeah — I liked it in general. But can completely see why artists would hate the concept of a giant weight crushing the artistic object that has fueled their life-long obsessions.

Ya this was the first thing I saw. It's a student project so we should be open that he's learning, but I wouldn't call this umbrella recyclable if it's constituent parts will likely end up floating in the ocean forever.

Love the article. If you love Stripe (and as a designer and tech entrepreneur I do – Stripe's simplicity and front-end skill is incredible) you might look at them and copy their ability to simplify and deliver polished experiences. But

This is a weird take? It's not Heinz' job to solve every issue in the recycling supply chain. If more of their products can be recycled; more of their products will be recycled. That's still progress. Anyone with a modicum of

The title is more alarming than the substance of the article. Apple is investing in a novel technology that may be able to measure technology using light waves, but the article says it's still in early stages and there's no rush

I love this article; it's well written and accurate. But in my experience the bigger problem is that companies aren't using data at all . Data-ignorant decision is a killer, too.

I cancelled my Amazon Prime after this email. $2.99 isn't a lot, but I was already on the fence given all of their good shows were heading to the dumpster fire that is the + premium channels; Paramount+ AMC+ channels, etc. So far I hav

Being a good manager starts with a desire to experiment and constantly change processes to improve your team's happiness and productivity. So the 'good' manager should be able to make both work? With RTO, however, there is A

I would bet Photoshop + Wacom or Procreate given the simple brushwork.
