And even if every person did live in a detached home where they could hypothetically throw a party, there are smartphone connected Ring cameras everywhere. Parents always know what's going on now.

I just took my car in and there were 4 active recalls to address (Hyundai). This is hardly unique to Tesla.

There was a brief window when Pandora was available in Canada (long ago now), but I still remember how good their recommendations were. Nothing matches it even today

"The market for stock photography and grunt level copy writing collapses entirely." The only thing stopping this from happening is that AI still hasn't figured out how to render hands very well.

I guess it's a "fun" story to post about. Extremely cringe though.

There needs to be some sort of trigger for the media and/or a critical mass of people to care. Tiktok has the China and data harvesting angle. Facebook has an unlikable founder (sorry, Zuck), and slew of headline generating scandals wi

In what way do you feel it's flawed? Based on what you know of the methodology, what would you change?

Slowly killing off organic reach on business pages was a dirty move, but still, Facebook's not "forcing" them to do anything.

I'm not saying your example is wrong, but the fact that it's from nearly 20 years ago is very telling. Even the most credible of sources will get something very wrong on occasion.

Vancouverite here. When major tech companies started setting up satellite offices here, I assumed it'd be a temporary situation, and that we'd be at the mercy of any change in the U.S. immigration process. The longer there's

Honestly, I'm not sure this micropayments for articles will ever take off. I tried a service recently that is trying to make that monetisation method a reality, and every time I clicked on an article, I'd have to do that mental ca

It's a dumb question, but you can just say "I can be too detail oriented sometimes!" and move on to more interesting points of conversation.

Yup. For many companies with a large audience or usebase that are already doing everything else, a conference/event is a natural evolution to keep growing their brand. Of course, when you increase the number of speaking spots over many

"I want the best advice, from the best doctors — not the doctor, not the clinic who can spend the most on advertising" says the politician, with no sense of irony.

That's a pet peeve of mine as well. If you see something as you're clicking away from your timeline, good luck ever finding it again. Would it kill them to let you toggle between chonological and "curated"?

Here in Vancouver the safe injection sites have saved countless lives and drastically lowered needle sharing. There's a big misconception that safe injection sites somehow promote drug use. They save lives and give people a legitimate

"The large plot of land is about 45 minutes west of downtown Phoenix off I-10 near Tonopah." More like Smart Exurb?
