RSS is a useful interface, but: "Do most people just want direct alerts?" Yes, of course. RSS is beloved but niche. Depends who your target audience is. I personally would want an email, because that's how I get alerts about

How so? You mean businesses vs private individuals filming the street? Or police, for example?

That's quite an antagonistic way to request an explanation, particularly as it seems straightforward: If you needed consent to film people in the street, security cameras (in public places) couldn't be used. They _are_ used. So it

Pubs have been in decline for years, because people don't go / drink as much, and because of our starting position: this is a country where there are pubs everywhere. But Brewdog is a chain of pubs and a brewery – this is much lar

Yeah, I mean millionaire authors are one thing, but saying "Most authors don't make enough money to live on, so I'm not going to pay them for their work" is a bit absurd.

The answer can often be found on the business end. Stack Overflow is in a huge decline. It needs to change or it will just die.

Sure, ebooks could be cheaper, but they’re still cheap as hell. $5-10 for what, ten hours of entertainment? A fraction of what you pay to dine out. I mean, you can be as cheap as you like, but this thread exists because you’re promoting you

Books are staggeringly affordable (aside from hardback), and if even they seem too expensive, libraries exist and offer ebooks. I would honestly be embarrassed to announce this – it reveals something very unflattering.

Both examples on your images - Call of the Wild, and Pride and Prejudice - have audiobooks available. Maybe better to showcase books that really don’t have audiobooks, if that’s the intended use case.

You’re absolutely right that it is a difficult question where to draw the line. Different countries will do it differently according to their devotion to individual freedoms vs communal welfare. The knife (as opposed to sword) example is in

I'm sure it's comforting to believe that people you disagree with do so for silly reasons, but many people will support this just because we like the rule of law.

You're suggesting an inconsistency where there isn't one. A country can ban guns and allow rope, even though both can kill.

But why? What's unsustainable about an email service, for example, run by competent European engineers at European salaries?

The UK did not leave Europe. Just the EU. But also English fluency is widespread, so it’s not a bad starting point.

Handle it by not doing it. Schedule time to check each of these, according to priority. Start the day with whatever you want, knowing that these will be caught later.

True, but feature parity isn’t required for competition. Plenty of subscribers will just be listening to what they know they want to listen to, and for them a giant DB of music is absolutely sufficient.

Interesting idea. Nice design. But usability issue: on mobile I hit your yellow chat CTA thinking it was submitting the app text input. You might want to move that out of the way.

It’s not a misuse - it’s exactly the intended meaning and it is perfectly common in mainstream usage. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable means you are indeed open to attack. But it is also a large part of emotional connection. The alternati

“Nannying” as a pejorative is a thought-terminating cliché. Sometimes, at scale, interventions save lives. You can thumb your nose at that, but you have to accept the cost in lives and say you’re happy with that. You can’t just say everybod

It’s possible to be overly dismissive of mental health issues, and it’s possible to ignore the need for resilience. The report itself looks at exactly this, despite the focus of this headline. It argues employers, employees and government a
