Did musical.ly pivot to become TikTok, or did Bytedance already have TikTok when they acquired musical.ly? I thought it was the latter, and that's more growth hacking than pivoting.

In the same "what the hell" vein as 3M (or maybe the same vein as Nintendo), the Connecticut Leather Company had a strong pivot into video games in the 80s as Coleco.

The same people who pivot an MMORPG's screenshot-sharing feature into the top photo site of its era, I guess! Butterfield pulling that off twice just completely floors me.

I believe those are all "recurring purchases", so your collection accumulates, where the European one upthread is "loaned and then returned", so you get the joy of building without the storage problems.

Unadulterated vodka won't freeze in the freezer because it's 40% alcohol. But watered-down vodka will freeze.

A peloton isn't an event, it's the group of cyclists in any cycling race. Since the original concept behind it is you're joining a group (class) on your exercise bike, it's a pretty appropriate name.

My wife is a runner, and she says that runners really like the feel of the Peloton, that it's easier to run on than a regular belt. I couldn't tell you exactly why though, maybe it's got some give to it, like a thick rubber

The touchscreen falls off of the lower-end model, the Tread, and the belt problem is on the high-end Tread+. Two separate recalls.

I believe Namecheap only offers registrar lock (clientUpdateProhibited), not registry (serverUpdateProhibited). There are very few registrars that offer registry lock and they're all "enterprise", probably because the relatio

It's also useful if you have a second musical "life" that you don't want to involve in your recommendations. Parents with kids' music, for instance. In my case, I turn on private listening when I go to bed, because

Ah, but it didn't promise suggestions, it promised to analyze how bad your Spotify is, and it delivers as promised, regardless of what you listen to!

If the space is meant to represent the gap between the C and E, then you have this backwards: the European mark has one letter-width space between the C and E, and the forged mark from China has the C and E right next to each other.

Oh wow, der Mouse! That's a name I haven't heard in decades. I remember giving him a bunch of old Sun hardware I'd "collected" (hoarded), when I left Montreal in the early 2000s. It was cool to see what he's be

Ah, but now you can `gh pr create` instead! Saves four keystrokes. But by the way, `hub browse` and `hub sync` are handy too.

There sure is. I've got a tiny bit of experience with ZenPayroll, and they're separately licensed in the states they're permitted to operate in (and it's a minority of states, IIRC).
