The article is leaving out a key fact. You have to build something people want. You can throw as much VC money onto a bad product (and business model) and it still won't work. Figuring out a new product and viable business model is hard. That is the reason why so many startups fail.

What the article is basically saying is that "monopolies are bad". I think everyone agrees on that and there are many examples in the tech industry, but then again monopolies are easier to achieve today with digital products.

What the article should have written was: Be more active in breaking up tech monopolies.

I believe all Jobs wanted is to not see his teams constantly broken apart as he's always put a lot of effort into finding talent, that was always extremely important for him and he's always spoken about it, in public.

Of course it's always been put in the light of "evil billionaires trying to keep the small man down".
I’m not saying they should have predicted anything. I’m saying they should communicate. You don’t have to solve the problem. You do have to talk about your feelings.

My understanding of this is that you want to classify what all of the other traders are doing, basically. That is, intro investment discussions build on intrinsics of what you are trading. As you trade more, you also want to trade on the behavior of everyone else that is trading.

Sadly, all market discussions I've seen are always "backward looking" and fairly useless for most folks. High frequency trading is basically cheating by do much smaller forecasts that can be acted on quickly and profitably. But if you can't react fast enough, the information is effectively useless.

Is like knowing tomorrow's rain forecast when you are trying to plant for the season. It is of little help. Even if it is far more accurate than the year's forecast.

“‘Living History’ is a well crafted written experience, not procedurally generated slop”

Having known people who lived/worked at a living history museum, their experience was much closer to improvisational comedy than a scripted interaction. Sure, they were riffing on their historical knowledge instead of cracking jokes, but it was not scripted.

Coders are the new Managers.

Because CPUs are the new workers.

(kind of obvious if we are knowledge workers now. At some point we had to invent the knowledge equivalent of a JCB or a steam engine)

Now this has lots of implications. Managers are there mostly to organise and supervise workers. If one tech bro can organise a thousand CPUs globally, what is his manager organising? How we treated managers was qualitatively different to how we treated workers (see Unions for example). So do we pay the tech bro what we used to pay his manager? Do we give the tech bro a key to the executive washroom? Should we pair him up with a "politician type" who can go to the meetings? Sort of like how YC funds 2 founders cos that is shown to work better?

Work theatre is still a thing, and becomes more performative the less impact your work has on any outcomes.

Twitter and Musk has been an inflection point. If firing basically anyone who did not commit code, if that works (for some definition of works) then we are in a new world.

The thing that I really like in Chrome (which I use for work) is Tab Groups. There is nothing like it for Firefox. Even the "Simple Tab Groups" extension, which is well liked, cannot do the simple "grouping" of tabs in a larger window - it simply hides all the tabs that are not in current use (which defeats the purpose of tab groups, I can just use windows for that). Another thing that Chrome has is the ability to name individual windows for easy Alt-Tabbing. Shame that Firefox doesn't have these things (that I know of).
There is more where that came from. I love their site: https://www.techemails.com/
Remote work that’s based on quality output is the solution. At least in software development.

My first job was in an office. I became friends with someone who I’ll say mastered the “art of not working”. He was always the first one in, the last one out. When decisions needed to be made, he was the one people would consult with. However, he never did any meaningful work. It’s not like he was a people manager. He wasn’t. He was a developer. But he never developed anything. He just appeared to. That appearance of work gave him job security, raises, and eventually more power within the company. It truly was an art form as I don’t think any company would have noticed. That’s how good he was.

I've actually never heard this before, can you elaborate? Typically it's expected that the compiler will give you better errors than what you get if your app crashes at runtime.
Gotta disagree there, tried Zevia after hearing this kind of praise but I find it just as bad as typical sugar-free sodas. Ymmv.
No, your savings are only worth more over time if interest rates are greater than inflation. It doesn't matter if the are low or high in this case, just that they beat inflation. This is practically never the case, because the market would never hand out such arbitrage.

I'm speaking about risk free interest rates in a traditional savings account (because that is what it sounded like you are referring to). The only way you can beat inflation is by taking on more risk such as investing in the stock market, or yes real estate (which is a risk, even for those wealthy people).
With the way its type inference works, it's probably the least verbose type system out there.

> if you needed to make a right and then a left. Google maps seemed to only care about the immediate next step whereas Apple cared about some distance.

Something I really enjoy about Google Maps is being able to swipe to see the next move, which is not possible on Apple Maps. This is helpful in exactly the scenario you describe. On the same note, I can think of many times where Apple Maps did not tell me the next move like you describe and I had no way to check it myself like I can with google maps. This is one of my biggest gripes with Apple Maps. Similarly, this feature is not possible when using Google Maps with Apple CarPlay which is very annoying.

The TikTok feed suggestion mechanism in particular feels like an engagement seeking algorithm with a few hundred content safety rules taped on top of it.

Almost like LLM content moderation, I don't think it's possible to fully control. Especially given the adversarial nature of content creation & consumption.

Onlyfans models and Far Right political groups seem especially effective in finding ever more indirect ways to escape the moderation rules.

For example, this week there were a series of videos in my feed making racially controversial statements using Golden Retrievers and Pitbulls as euphemisms for persons of different ethnicities.

I'm pretty such the TikTok mods don't actively want racist content, but it's very hard - to the point of impossible - for them to fully remove this stuff entirely with the pace of evasion techniques.
This definitely still works.

"Everyone just wants to appear to do things - so the hard things don't get done because everyone is more focused on showing that they work instead of tackling the problems."

I agree. Seems like an internal motivation thing. Not saying it's easy, simple, or in some instances even possible. But gotta want to do it for your own reasons when the external incentives (optics that lead to staying hired or getting promoted or building a reliable & professional reputation, and staving off the flip-sides as well) aren't there anymore.
Too many sites have useless titles, or URLs that if you go back to you don't get to the same state you had when you closed the window. So, I find that history is for the most part useless. Sometimes it works - but not reliably.
Could not agree more. We should be caring less about the survival rate of marriages and more about the total quantity of happiness experienced. Relationships are fluid, and a means to an end (support, fulfillment, opportunities for happiness, etc).
Rather than subscribing to this conspiracy theory, I can believe that it's The Algorithm (tm) doing it. It learns from what videos are engaging to other users, and serves you the same stuff, if you don't follow the pattern, then it might serve other videos that has the 2nd highest rate of engagement...

I watched a tennis video on YouTube, and YouTube kept recommending me tennis videos. Same thing with LEGO videos on Instagram, I do admit they do grab my attention and so the Zuckgorithm knows "Keep showing him LEGO stuff!". I also like car videos, but Instagram also serves too many videos made by jagoff posers showing off luxury/sport cars.

Whereas for a "typical" woman the videos are about clothes and make-up...
Two examples with Google Maps:

1. In the US, driving in a rural area, Google took me down a five-mile stretch of gravel road between two farms. It's questionable whether this was actually a public road, as I got an odd look from a farmer on his tractor. Admittedly, this saved about 30 minutes.

2. In the UK, Google Maps routinely tries to lead me down narrow country lanes to save 1-2 minutes. In many cases, it will take me off an A road (read: main route) onto a single-lane country lane flanked by hedges. It's bad enough that when I'm using Google Maps, I specifically look at the map at each turn it suggests to see if it has an alternate route highlighted that keeps me on the main road, and I choose that route instead.

I don't experience these things as much with Apple Maps, which seems tuned to keep me on main routes.

18 Facts About Detroit When It Declared Bankruptcy Ten Years Ago Today
It's the natural evolution of content marketing & SEO. I work at an IT company where we have ~15 ppl building and managing a few SaaS apps for the travel industry, and we have 50-60 ppl doing marketing as a service for our customers.

They write page after page of content that barely get read. It all just exists to make the google bot happy. And that works. They bring in more customers & revenue apparently. (honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's all wasted and the added revenue is due to the better website and backoffice, but what do i know.)

So it seems only natural to have AI generate that content for the Google bot and stop wasting all this effort. Obviously I can't prove nobody reads this content, but seriously.. A landing page about hot-tubs and how cool it is to have one in your holiday home? Doubt that anyone actually reads that..

If you really think about it from the point of view of defaults, Windows is a even worse mess.

* You often need to do non-standard system tweaks to get the system in a working state. It's everything-doesn't-work-by-default.

* You often need to install/prevent instalation of bad quality drivers and associated bundleware to make devices work.

* Microsoft can't decide what UI framework they will support (or drop support) so built-in applications happens to be built with the current "thing", the old ones staying on the older unsupported frameworks.

* You need to constantly tweak a combination of Windows 3.11 control applets, Windows 95 control panel applets, Windows 7 unified control panel glass, and Metro Settings Universal Windows Platform app to keep things working.

* Microsoft can't decide what random widgets go on the taskbar, or the file manager, or your start menu, so it's always disrupting things every few updates.

It is arriving at a point where the only "consistent" UI thing in Windows is Steam, and Steam isn't built-in, and is a hot mess of inconsistent UI itself.

I did an electric conversion with an old Vespa, it was literally just a shell I got for about $300, packed it with a beefy BLDC motor and a driver (from a standup electric scooter) that let me change the speed based on the thumb throttle. I wanted to use the original throttle on the Vespa but that got kind of messy at the time. The LiFePO4 batteries were the most expensive thing here and I regret not getting larger capacity ones.

The neat thing about an electric motor vs an ICE, that you pointed out, is the torque curve is linear so no need for a transmission.

For 4-wheelers, I really want to see electric conversion kits get more popular, specifically ones where the electric motor mounts to the transmission spot - either transverse and have attachment points for two half shafts or conventional where it points to the rear. Then we can use the engine bay as a additional storage, assuming we put the batteries where the gas tank is. I really want to do this conversion with a older, rear-engine VW bug. I hate ripping out original parts but I can find so many shells now where they’ve taken the engine out.

Points 1-3 are the real investments there and they don't just exist. The other points do indeed exists but with a different workload, which again you could do without. Now the only point forgotten in the other comments is that a small fee, regardless how small, is making the users more responsible - I think at coin-operated shopping carts. But again, you need a level of security anyway, so they could better focus now doing their job: to sort out the disrupters whatever they are - drunks, litterers, vandals.
> ... we're not talking about what's more common, but about how recent regulatory changes affected car design.

Well, no. You said that cars are larger because of safety regulations.

But the obvious rebuttal to this is that larger cars have been trending upward for decades, and the most obvious proof of this is the decline of the sedan in favor of the SUV.

> You can look up luxury models of mid or late 90s cars, and they had all those features. Now look at the same models today.

These were larger cars than the average as well. The 90s Mercedes E-Class doors were significantly larger and heavier than the ones in a Toyota Camry.

A current generation Mercedes E-Class is also larger than the one from 30 years ago, mostly because it has gone through a significant increase in interior space. Again, this is not something only Mercedes has done to their line, all automakers have gone down the same route.

> If you wanted to make a car with the same outside dimensions today you could barely cram two people in it, due to all the mandatory crumple zones etc.

That car is roughly the same size of a Volkswagen Polo, which fits 4 people, and holds pretty much the same volume in the trunk. The Polo has an five star EURONCAP rating. Hell, even the SMART Fortwo is a pretty safe car, and it's mostly plastic.

Yes, small cars exist and are safe too, but people just like larger cars better.

This is why your experience is so different from mine. If you're just using them to get around, during the day, going between major traveler landmarks (airport, hotels, tourist destinations), yes, taxis are fine.

Almost all of my taxi/Uber use is as a local. I spent way too many nights in my 20s drunkenly wandering around downtown at 2-3am trying to find a cab to get home.

How Benjamin Franklin laid groundwork for dollar by foiling early counterfeiters
I think the bandying about of the term “late-stage capitalism” by writers has given many the false impression that capitalism is ending and that such an end is an inevitable running of course. I think capitalism is here to stay for as long as there are life forms dependent on reproduction. Maybe eternity and the dissolution of society/community/family will mitigate the impulse to resource accumulation, but we haven’t reached that yet.
Indeed, and we’re seeing the downsides of easily-dissolved marriages. Many people would have been better if they felt they couldn’t abandon their marriage, and either had to work on communication, work on themselves, or just get through a rough patch. Just doing what you “want” often just equates to “making a hedonistic decision based around short-term pleasure.” Not always, of course, but it happens often enough that it’s a meaningful pattern. I’m sure there are people who can rightfully state that theirs lives would have been worse if they could not have left their bad marriages. I’m not disagreeing with this in principle, just stating that the inverse problem exists as well.
Life is also more stable in a prison.

Individualism gives you the freedom to fail along with the freedom to succeed. It's a trade-off with being able to make your decisions.

I'd be more interested in not comparing the fail cases of western dating with arranged marriages but comparing the success cases against arranged marriages. Finding someone who truly feels like your missing half has got to be one of life's greatest pleasures. And the freedom to look for it and the freedom to fail sounds about 1000x better to me than "hanging in there" with a spouse my dad chose.

Every time I hear someone talk about it, the upsides of arranged marriage always kinda sound like "Sweetie, wouldn't it be much nicer to just stay inside where it's safe instead of going out into that dangerous world?"
