    This is awesome and timely for me...going to give it a whirl. Thanks for building. Also, there should totally be an easter egg where clicking something somewhere plays the sound!

    Wipr has been pretty reliable for me on iOS. I know digital advertising has helped support many web innovations but it's just getting brutal out there.

    I've noticed people often research products, services, medical issues/ailments, etc. using Google (or similar). When they start seeing related ads on social media, they tend to att…

    Hm, I thought other methods could be used to establish causation, such as longitudinal cohorts, RCTs, and (another randomization I'm forgetting), that wouldn't require infecting hu…

    Headlines always get me. Correlation identified, but not causation.

    Curious why the post has two hyperlinks to the WP Engine domain, and additionally without rel="nofollow", if they despise them so much. Isn't that WordPress essentially passing SEO…

    Ah, confused this one with that. Thx for the heads-up.

    Seconding this. It's free to create accounts at the 3 agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) and place an indefinite freeze until you need to apply for credit in the future. …

    See my top-level comment. I went through this process and the confirmation message seems to indicate it does perform a deletion vs. a deactivation.

    Strange, do you have any browser security extensions, aggressive cookie-blocking, or something similar? I was able to complete the process (see my comment below). I'm using Brave w…

    This is pretty shocking. I never use Glassdoor anyway, so deleted my account after reading. Worth noting that going to Settings only shows a button that says "Deactivate account", …

    Interesting. I've been using Things (similar to Apple Reminders) for 10+ years, which I thought was really minimal, but a .txt is about as barebones as you can get. Makes me want t…

    Could not have articulated it better, especially when compared to other MS project sites like https://www.fast.design/ . Maybe the dev or someone on the team downvoted me :/

    Is it just me or is the design (and especially typography) of this website atrocious?

    X/Twitter running as a new "Web App" is pretty solid, and a huge upgrade from the older, unmaintained Twitter macOS app. Everything pretty much works as expected & feels native, th…

    Completely agree with the point of middleware only supporting the Edge runtime. This borders vendor lock-in and continues to be an ongoing debate: https://github.com/vercel/next.js…
