Launched a newsletter https://before90s.substack.com where I talk about what modern businesses can learn from pre-internet era companies. Things like distribution channels, a/b testing, use of influencers were all methods used by those "old companies".... I think there are many different articles telling stories about modern companies and how they are winning in our times. The same is not true for those companies created before 90s though. There are a lot to learn from pre-Internet era companies and apply to businesses and products nowadays.

#613I made https://lessnoise.net/, which recommends who you should unfollow on Twitter (right now it's very basic and just shows you who tweets the most out / is noisiest of everyone you follow)
Would love to hear any feedback!

#618I'm working on a project to help people learn languages from reading books:

I've been using machine learning to highlight different parts of speech which I've found makes looking at a foreign language slightly less overwhelming.
My stack is Elixir + React Native + Purescript + Spacy for the machine learning.
