Thousands of matches isn’t a good thing. If you ever have the opportunity ask a female friend to show you the kind of messages they get on dating apps. They’re pretty appalling. It genuinely worries me that there are so many creeps out ther

I’ve seen quite a lot of people complaining about this on Twitter. Is there some negative to this I’m not aware of other than companies losing customers? I’ve come across more and more sites in recent years with no account deletion option a

iTunesU predates things like Coursera. I’d say it took someone like Apple to convince major universities that making their lectures available was worthwhile or else people like Coursera never would have gotten off the ground. It’s a very di

Shame, I got a lot of value from it in the first few years after it’s launch. At the time that sort of content wasn’t really available elsewhere.

I’d love to know whether it works in their favour or not. I find myself viewing less and less Netflix content on my Apple TV as the “up next” queue is always full of non-Netflix content.

…and this changes that (to an extent) by allowing iOS/Mac users to have FaceTime calls with people in different ecosystems.

Apple bought Dark Sky. That’s why they now have next hour rain data I believe.

Netflix don’t implement the Apple TV features that allow you to see content from multiple sources on one page or “up next” either.

Is anyone actually advocating everybody have a 4-hour work week? Of course not. Tim Ferriss doesn't even specifically advocate a work week of 4 hours. The point is to delegate to the maximum so you can spend as much of your time doing

In England when you move GP records are sent to the new GP without any action from the patient (although in practice this doesn’t always work). If you move to another part of the UK this doesn’t work because the devolved nations manage thei

Why would anyone trust 'legal advice' on a complex piece of legislation from a site that can't even implement a straightforward regulation correctly.

How do you get randomly pinged outside working hours? Is Slack on your personal phone? If so, delete it. Keep your work emails closed (and not on your personal phone). Use a separate browser profile for work/personal if you are working

Interesting, however I think any data gathered during the pandemic is not too useful. WFH is very abnormal currently for most. My current WFH productivity is certainly lower than when I WFH pre-pandemic. If I was making decisions about the

I'm surprised anyone would write this off. It's a trendy eBay for a specific niche (used/"vintage" clothes). If you can get it to scale (obviously not easy) it seems like it's an easy win and easy to monetise.

Interesting! I guess it depends on the specific speakers/monitors. It's not something I would have considered before. I'll have to check out those JBL's.

Studio monitors and HiFi equipment seem like different categories and use cases to me. HiFi speakers should fill the room. To get a good sound from studio monitors you need to be positioned well. Just moving a little bit can make a big diff

I think SKY is well prepared for this. With their NowTV service you can get the movies/entertainment/sports packages all separately. You can even buy the sports package for a day or a weekend. They also have quite a lot of exclusi
