There’s other sources on Twitter that have linked the article. I looked at the Stratford case too. Doesn’t match. It was a 42 year old adult with 2 other adults and 2 teens. Hsieh is 46. https://patch.com/connecticut/st

I’ve honestly found online shopping to become increasingly anti-consumer. The absolute worst trend is what I would consider to be aggressive dynamic pricing, especially on Amazon.

I’m a little disheartened by how much e-commerce has changed for the worst since the Zappos heydays, and how the most successful cos now often employ anti-consumer dark patterns and tactics to squeeze more revenue and profits all while limi

yeah I guess the wording of the story is confusing. I think it’s less “here’s a reward for literally killing people” and more “here’s a little something to soften the blow of an OD so that you continue to fill Oxycotin without judgement or

ok, so a rebate is less “here’s a reward for OD’ing people” and more “we’ll soften the blow if you continue filling Oxy with no judgment if someone ends up dying” I guess

isn’t CVS just doing whatever the doctor is prescribing without any judgement? i don’t see how CVS would be liable here unless they failed to verify the authenticity of a prescription or something on purpose.

I don’t really understand the rebate strategy here. They told Purdue to literally go to CVS and tell them “we are going to pay you a bonus for every overdose you cause?” How does CVS interplay with the doctors who are doing the actual presc

I’m speaking from the perspective of the customer. They might be top knotch but if it’s understaffed and underesourced then no one can be set up for success when they have to face the wrath of a million customers when the site goes down on

yeah it’s unfortunate even at a finance startup that CX is so disregarded. Coinbase doesn’t exactly have a great CX reputation eg lots of horror stories plus it seems to go down every time there’s a big move up or down.

this seems like it’s also a struggle between different teams at the same company. Customer Service teams are very often looked down upon as “less than” other teams like engineering, and this article states that a disproportionate number of

Wish is number 6 on Shopping App Chart and Aliexpress is at 30 or so. It’s more popular but Aliexpress barely does any marketing in the US AFAIK

Aliexpress looks and feels similar to Wish though. Not like comparing s3 to dropbox

I just downloaded the app again to refresh my memory on what it looked like since I had never actually bought anything off it. Used an anonymous email to register eg clean profile and the front page was filled with scammy hair loss products

given the other engagement metrics presented that is doubtful.

yeah dunno. honestly i’m a little terrified of what growing up in the age of social media and hyper addictive gaming does to someone. pretty glad I grew up at a time when the biggest thing was just Myspace.

there’s a balance. 2.5 hours spent on average means there’s kids spending much longer on this each day. i get there’s a creativity aspect to it but it still seems like a lot of time, to the point where it’s likely bordering on addiction lev

On the one hand I think this will do really well in public markets and will probably buy some on the first day. On the other as someone who doesn’t play and doesn’t have kids it’s a bit unsettling seeing some of these engagement numbers eg

I use the YT iOS app mostly. can’t skip it there.

I pay for YT Premium and worth it to skip all ads and be able to listen to audio in app on background. I use it a lot for recipes and great to have a corner of the internet totally ad free now.

Haven’t read the prospectus but I know they sell loans to investors and they are fairly highly rated from a credit perspective. I’m sure they have some debt on their books too though.
