1. Steam became a success because of the games Valve developed. 2. Epic created Fortnite, which you likely know is a popular release. That game is leading to the Epic store getting off the ground and gaining traction.…
I agree with the browser implementation. Automatically blocking the cookies will likely not work because sites frequently combine tracking and required cookies. 1. When the user starts the browser for the first time,…
How is it possible in 2020 a basic search of the start menu doesn't work? For example, I have Spotify installed, it appears in my start menu, but if I search for "Spotify" it's nowhere to be found.…
Wouldn't someone send communication signals to lure or bait other civilizations? For example, spam a friendly hello message on every potential communication channel and encourage new civilizations to reply. When they…
They make some where you attach a device to the dog's collar, and it unlocks the door when they approach. That being said, I grew up in an area completely surrounded by trees and every animal imaginable (squirrels,…
I get emails all the time from Google about DMCA notices and pages from my site being removed from search. They'll just give me a list of 100s of pages that have been removed. The requests make absolutely no sense. For…
I don't think it's a fair comparison. There's a difference between someone crashing their own Volvo, and someone sitting in the backseat of a Waymo that misinterprets the lane markers and crashes into a barrier. One is…
People are going to die in Waymo cars, and sometimes we'll wonder if the accident was avoidable and if the car made the wrong choice leading to someone's death. It'll look bad on the brand when the news is reporting…
I just loaded a few Google services I use. AdSense takes 6 seconds to load. DoubleClick takes 10-15 seconds to load. Running a speed test on fast.com I'm getting 200Mbps. Without question Google makes the slowest and…
They really don't seem to care. I run a site with AdSense. Google makes about 20k a year in commission from my site. I get zero support. 1. My ad clicks went from a steady 500 a day to 1-5 a day and my revenues…
You're right, I noticed this recently as well. Clicking the photo brings up the sign-up modal. However, middle clicking to open in a new tab views the photo.
It would make more sense to have prices $40, $50, $60, where the $50 plan is always on sale for $30. Then, you effectively have a $30 and $60 plan, and the $40 is a decoy to make $30 seem like great value. I designed a…
You don't even have to click a second time to select part of the URL. You simply click and drag at the same time. It's ideal for everyone.
Well, I completely disagree. Compared to developing sites 15-20 years ago, I think it's a walk in the park now. I feel like I can achieve far more with less code, the tools are more powerful, the code is easier to read,…
It would take to long to answer all of those, so let's just look at the first point. > An unmarked cardboard box. Why wasn't I required to return this box for reuse? It should be a Pelican-style container that is used…
Sometimes I wonder why Netflix doesn't produce more content with small creators. What I'm imagining... 1. Produce some fitness content. Yoga, stretching, meditation, calisthenics, etc. I get the impression there are…
There is advertising on Google Maps and YouTube, and if I recall correctly, YouTube has been profitable in recent years, and I imagine Maps will be the same if it's not already. It's hard to find numbers online, but it…
I understand why it's happening and I mentioned it in my comment. However, I just find it incredibly inappropriate that... 1. When I search an exact domain Google will take money from a competitor and show their…
It's funny, because if you run AdSense on your website, Google has very strict guidelines about not misleading users and making a clear distinction between advertisements and your content. However, when Google shows ads…
I rented an AirBnB filled with a few thousand dollars worth of Sonos speakers. Some issues... 1. I was traveling with an older Android phone (Android 4.4.4). I couldn't install the latest version of the app. I tried…
I stayed in one AirBnB where there was a book on a shelf in the living room. I opened it, and it was the name, passport number, date, and some other information I can't recall for every past guest.
What's the bottom 20% of bios? "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"? Are you suggesting that attractive people have terrible bios? If so, you're probably right and it would be a decent…

In that case people would swipe on just the attractive users and on every bio without reading them. A simple fix would be to only allow users to swipe on 20% of the photos and 20% of the bios.
They're likely helping to create positive experiences and memories for other people during their travels. Some of my best memories in life are thanks to random solo travelers I've met during various trips. I met a solo…
