I prefer searching too, but sometimes it's nice to just "put TV on." I do this now with Amazon Prime Video, which has a "Live" feature that mimics a guide akin to Channel Surfer. A…

Was Teen Vogue profitable?

“Yet as Google does the Googling, humans no longer visit the websites from which the information is gleaned. ” Can you blame them? These publishers’ content is buried under paywall…

They want your email address so they can spam you with newsletters, which increase retention.

I would try to find data like "tasks over 30 days old never get completed" and tie the decision (and marketing) to something like that.

This pianist is really manipulating the tempo.

I send an email to my manager every week with two headings: “This week” and “Next week.” 3-5 concise bullet points under each heading, no sub-bullets. I avoid bullets like “Met wit…

Same. My current job resulted from: seeing a hiring manager post about the role, applying at the link she shared in her post, and spending 2 hours crafting a DM to her. Interviewed…

I would be interested in trying the product if the content is as good or better than the content here. More features will not get me to switch, however.

I live in Colorado but still use the accountant in NYC I've had since 2003. It's typically around $400 -- I know it has gone up over the years, but I haven't really noticed or felt…

Did Vowel go under or get acquired? https://zapier.com/blog/introducing-zapier-central-ai-bots/

Original photography sometimes has tricky licensing — photos are good for only 5 years, then have to be renewed. That’s what photo editors at these magazines do. The text content i…

Thanks for this list. In 2014, I switched to a vegan diet with a heavy emphasis on restricted oil consumption too, and the weight peeled off. I originally did it for dietary/health…

Did you stay vegan after switching? I.e., are you getting your protein calories via a vegan diet?

Quora also comingles ads with content, and the ads look almost identical to content. Quora has become unpleasant and unusable in the past decade, and I only end up there on acciden…

Most SEO tools or “experts” are snake oil.

It was Anker or Bose — just now I searched “Bose noise-cancelling headphones,” and on the results screen there’s first a carousel of a bunch of JBL headphones, followed by two resu…

This is definitely the worst thing about Amazon. I pay them $120/year or whatever, and I search a specific product by a specific brand, and the entire browser screen shows me brand…

Noteplan [1] has stuck for at least 3 years now. I like that in addition to old-school notes pages, each day has its own page. I capture notes and to-dos when I'm in meetings, and …

> people who buy the CliffNotes version typically already have the original work as well (for example from coursework) Is there data that supports this? I’d be interested to know w…

This is exactly how I understand it. There’s a lot ink getting spilled about “summarizing isn’t illegal” and “what about Cliffs Notes” but that isn’t what this is about. If the ver…

Is that "the chalk"? When I lived in NYC that was legendary -- you could watch a roach touch it and almost immediately fall over dead. The only thing that worked for me was sealing…

Both can be bad. I will say that the best PM I ever worked with had zero technical skills beyond HTML and CSS. She was a master of clarity and communication, and she knew how to gi…
