I generally agree with the statements here but the example of the baby thermometers seems to be a false equivalence since there is no variation of pricing of the products but instead it's a personalized search results page that takes i

I'm not convinced that the Feedly option is as much of a dark pattern as you might think. There are a few ways this could be addressed which would come with their own tradeoffs: 1) Remove the "x" close button since you'r

MSFT just announced custom Azure chips too which likely also played into the "synergy" with Sam's desire to reduce reliance on Nvidia as computing capacity and demand scales with AI advancement.

I think they’re referring to China doing rain seeding ( https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/08/17/asia/china-heat-drought-c... )

I’ve been lucky to have caught a flight back to SF after cancellations and can wait at home while figuring out how to get to my original destination. What I don’t understand is how come SW couldn’t enlist help to get customers rebooked on o

I’ll believe it when I see it, I am out of pocket $500 so far in chaining my own flights on other airlines to get to my destination after my SW flight on Christmas Eve was cancelled. They offered a rebooking only on their own routes on the

Nope it was moist and delicious! Separated the skin from the meat and rubbed with salt and sugar. 450 for an hour then 325 until the internal temp was at 157+. Breast was foiled to prevent overcooking.

I think we should explain this more clearly to the original author; it’s probably true that maybe 5% work on ads but that is literally the ads system like Adwords and Adsense. The only reason those are valuable is that Google has tons of tr

If anyone is going to build this, that would be an awesome DIY project but hopefully you have a printer that works w/o buying one.

What about a physical front page that gets printed daily using something like an HP Designjet T210? You can mount it (it's wireless) and it can print 2' wide from a roll of paper. You feed the paper into a custom frame (add margin

I think Rhinehart’s perspective may be that a generation of people are focused on solving the wrong problems (ones that don’t have real impact on human lives) and we (collective) are fetishsizing that singular focus on making the best of so

There’s a range of flexibility offered including many homes that have free cancellation until 5 or 1 day before check-in. Some are on Stricter policies that are more strict than what you would find with hotels but homeowners also have diffe

What’s nuts about the cancellation policies? Genuinely curious as I lead that team.

Yes, it's most likely that the ad that's matching is the generic one for "Lansing, MI BBQ" or something to that effect and therefore it's not pointing to a specific landing page. It may also be that Doordash has fou

This is either dynamic keyword insertion in the ad copy or they did target a specific restaurant name but decided to use a more generic landing page. In my previous life doing more marketing oriented activities in the travel space, we found

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the transparency in this process and find a way for donors to support but also get something in return: 1) Can businesses be open about operating expenses and costs? How much do they need to su

I’m sure someone has suggested this at some point but why not physical keys with an lcd underneath each key? This would allow those keys to be fully customizable and be worthy of the “Pro” designation.

Their 1st gen service offered quite a bit of luggage and equipment transport for free (bike or surfboard) so it was super interesting to me. You could get on Friday night and go to sleep wake up refreshed in Santa Monica, surf, get a hotel

I was being facetious. It definitely is extremely misleading based on any common understanding of what a “pick” implies in terms of quality or attributes of a product.

I guess that isn't wrong, your boss is part of the staff and they have "picked" the poorly selling wines to highlight. It didn't say "Staff Recommended" or "Staff Favorites"

When the hotel participates with an OTA like Expedia or others, they are not paying for the facilitation of the booking, they are paying for the demand that Expedia has generated for the hotel. An unsold room is perishable every night and t

Here's a crazy idea, why not only let children comment on children videos? This way, kids that want to still express themselves and connect to their peers can do so on YT.

Do we consider self-driving cars "parked" or "loading" if it's parked in a yellow or white zone? The definition today seems to be if you have a human behind the wheel, you can generally squat for a bit as you'r

I agree with the general point of the article that taking VC money leads to a "get rich or die trying" binary mindset which may not be right for all startups. For many startups, it's not necessarily to become a unicorn to be
