I made a similar change just this year. Dialed back my Reddit usage to a few select subs, quit Instagram, tuned my YouTube recommendations to focus more on my hobbies, and get my news / commentary from NYT + podcasts.…
My partner is now in private practice, but started in community mental health coming out of her social work program. Unsurprisingly, for those most in need, like the children with severe mental illnesses and traumatic…
The MSRP for these things was never competitive, but $15-20k in the used market for a carbon monocoque electric go-kart? Sign me up.
Those column-mounted paddle shifters also span a large radius on both sides, which combined with their quick steering ratio makes them effectively available at all times aside from when you're putting in a lot of…
Historically French Touch was interchangeable with French House, dating back to late 90s origins (Daft Punk et. al.). IMO what Spotify calls New French Touch isn't really a genre unto itself, more just a broad…
This is why I love F1. Over 20 people working the pit stop, and the driver hitting his marks perfectly, literally braking at the last possible moment to maximize speed up to the pit lane entry, all for tenths of a…
I've been looking into transparent windshield films to reduce glare for this reason.
I was really surprised when the most disappointing feature of my 14 Pro was the camera. The overprocessing is horrendous in low light, and the constant switching between lenses is annoying when taking everyday photos.…
GP didn't state that it was the sole reason for tipping the election. Clinton dropping the ball, Comey etc. are events I can live with even if I didn't like the result. But a foreign adversary exploiting network effects…
I was enjoying the first few days and went on a campaign to mute as many of these low quality accounts that had been ported in from Instagram as possible. Then I just got bored, and realized it was just reclaiming the…
Since I was diagnosed with ADHD last year I've been looking for other lenses to understand my own complex outside of a strictly genetic component. Self therapy, although I could probably use an actual therapist as well.…
That is one hell of a false equivalence after we just saw what came out of the Dominion lawsuit / settlement.
I'd rather a more conservative approach than copy+pasting the vitriol and polarization of Twitter onto a new platform. And it's a smart move to make it friendlier to users who were uninterested in Twitter because of…
Threads accounts are linked to Instagram accounts, so the same verification standards should apply. If there's one underrated thing Meta will do better than Twitter here, it's cut down on spam / bots used for…
My question is – what trade secrets does Twitter even have that Meta didn't already have the existing infrastructure for, or competency to build themselves (probably better)?
I noticed this with the base experience after auto-following all my Instagram follows. But what isn't in the app yet is a "trending" / "recommended" section, which I imagine is ready to go once they bootstrap enough…
Above the designers I'd take a hard look at the PMs, who probably broke what was a better initial re-design to maximize ads / metrics.
Highly unlikely, that would imply that CTRs are going up during a partial user revolt / shutdown. On the other hand, perhaps Reddit could squeeze a little extra ad revenue per click given they control the market prices.…
Exactly. We've already seen the damage that foreign manipulation can cause when they're exploiting the cracks of FB, Twitter, etc. It doesn't take much imagination to think about what the art of the possible is when you…
As someone grappling with a career that has seen fits and starts, bouncing between roles this is an interesting perspective. I'm currently looking at jobs and definitely harbor a lot of self-doubt because I don't have…
I'm assuming this was slightly in jest, but paying yourself is all about free cash flow when you're bootstrapped, fronting inventory and growing. And in practice, with hard goods this is really difficult unless your…
I've had alarm issues as well recently, and I think in my case it may have something to do with either (1) "Attention Aware Features" that will silence alarms if it thinks you're using / looking at the phone, or (2)…
As someone who just started on methylphenidate this year with good results: - I initially started on Concerta but found that I was burning through the dose way faster than advertised (4hrs vs 8hrs) and experiencing an…
While the percentage of time is surely low, the high concentration of people per area means the frequency with which you encounter it can be quite high. I personally don't care much about being in random people's…
In theory, probably something like: (1) recruitment and growth of the sub either organically or inorganically (2) selective upvoting of particular perspectives if not direct posts (3) propagation and cross pollination…
