A plumber puts an ad in the paper / Google for their services in your area. This makes you aware of their services. This is marketing their services to you. By seeing the ad, are you manipulated into using their services?

Marketers are brought into a company to help bring awareness to the company’s services. Without marketing in some form, your product never makes it to your customers. There are good and bad marketers, just like anything else other professio

Disclaimer: I work at OpenAI. Lots of people! I get a lot of value out of these already. If it helps, here's an example: Our team shares wonderful customer demos in Slack. In the past, these would get lost in Slack unless someone took

That’s a very dismissive point of view to the seriousness of the situation. He had a Molotov cocktail thrown at his home in the immediate aftermath of an article that painted him in a negative light. The two may not be connected but seem to

Did you read the article? It was about how the spam is less interesting now when the person had typically enjoyed reading spam emails.

Same. Paused the signup process to take a look at how they were going to use my data, and then decided against it once I understood.

How would you design that system? I can't imagine a self-driving car request via an app could be accomplished without _someone_ knowing / tracking your travel patterns. You can't do cash transactions because that would be rif

Fair, but - for the sake of the argument - who's to say that Brian Jokat doesn't have a major short position on Boeing? I agree that both of the airlines have incentives to cover it up, but it's strange this is being "re

A blip of zero controls - not ideal! Although hearsay from a passenger hardly sounds reliable. The thing I'm wondering is: are quality issues happening elsewhere? Or are we caught in an anti-Boeing hype cycle? I'm skeptical whenev

You are correct - only third-party, cross domain cookies. WSJ and other writers simplify to "cookies" because it's a simpler headline and only a small percentage of people understand the difference (even tech workers!). It&#x

Do you have something to support the claim that liberals tend to be introverted?

I was hoping for more from the article. It lacks pretty much any detail that might actually prove to be a lesson. It cites a layoff, a change in the stock price, and a few assumptions about how Foley generally isn't good at their busin

Agreed. Although there is a comparison made regarding quality and readiness of code from Auto-gpt vs ChatGPT but that's about it. Also, autonomous agents seem expensive, limited in functionality, and somewhat not reliable (based on the

Any sources to back up the second statement? It doesn't match up with my experience. FWIW, I've worked from home since 2020 for a company that is remote friendly. We've had employees that want to work from home but they don&#

Yes, there is safety in size. But operational capabilities of companies using the big banks would be cut as well. To draw an analogy, should every business owner with physical goods only sell and distribute their goods through Amazon and&#x

I don't agree. There are many instances where using a boutique or smaller institution is better for your business to run. My company used to bank with Bank of America. It was awful. They seemed to have no concept of how to work with sm

What you prefer to live in is not the point of the article. It's about why some large, many unit buildings appear imposing / overwhelming while others less so.

Nicely done by the author. His line at the beginning stuck out to me: "How do you find such sensitivity? First by example, then blundering through." I've found the same for my own experience with photography, videography, and

I wish a VC's recommendation or direction was all it took to get a deal done. Getting a "lofty Enterprise license" through procurement is so much harder than you are stating. They can make an introduction, sure, but very few

It's not about the money. It's about the runway. The statement is to the market and to potential hires that they have runway. Showing how much money you've raised gives prospects (customer or employee) confidence that you wil

The Sound of Metal was a truly fantastic movie. I haven't seen the others either, but I highly recommend that one. Riz did a terrific job.

Another tool that I've been happy with is Loopio. They do have the "Magic" capability that tries to automate answers. Given the consistent structure of security questions, they had a higher match / completion rate, but t

As a person that works a lot with Salesforce and not much with AWS, I have the same opinion but about AWS. Salesforce is not known for wonderful documentation, but experience and familiarity changes the perspective quite a bit.

Couldn't agree more. Also the implication that users will manage or update settings to their preferences is incredible in its own right. So, let's just do it.

I agree with you on the risk. This seems to have tremendous implications for any digital business. I'm reading into this a bit, but it seems that part of Square's case rested on the fact that White didn't actually want to do
