I read this in Gilfoyle's voice.

As a counterpoint, I was once driving across the country with my Father in a rented Kia Forte, heading West to Oregon. Neither of us had a smart phone at the time, having lived in a rural area on the East coast with little cell phone service - so we relied on an old paper map, a Rand McNally or something like it, to deliver us to the West Coast

As we were driving West through Nevada, we reached Winnemucca - and faced a decision. We could detour severely south via route 80 to Reno, and head back North, or take route 49, which looked to be on the map an improved road, in more or less our direction of travel. Turns out that this "Jungo Road" was really nothing more than a heavily rutted dirt road past some seemingly abandoned mines, that skirted the Black Rock Desert and served as an access road to where Burning Man is held. A few hours of skull rattling bumpy road and one super dirty rental car air filter later, we finally emerged back onto a nicely paved road near Gerlach.

They weren't just torrent sites, they housed communities and (eventually on What) music graphs that led to countless new musical discoveries for users. If Oink wasn't shut down, What.cd wouldn't have existed - it was simply the precursor. Waffles was just (IMO) a slightly less popular destination for the diaspora of Oink users.

To be fair, I found Slack an absolute joy to use before the switch but.. YMMV, as always :)

If you think you don't like Slack, just wait until your company forces you to use Microsoft Teams ... Slack is really focused, performant, and an absolute joy to use in comparison.

Click bait wrapped in condescension wrapped in affiliate links wrapped in snark. Fun!

Reader Mode on Safari maybe?

I'm not sure why this is downvoted. It's a real concern IMO. Want to use Waze on your Apple i-touch-touch windshield screen? Fair enough, but expect those "cheap gas station alert" pop-ups to persist there as well.

Google creates an environment where you "need to use AMP" because they prioritize search results for properties that have AMP varietals - placing them in the "carousel" on top of search results. You can build a very performant static site, with terrific SEO and social share meta tags, etc. - but without AMP - and still be positioned below another property who's "regular" site is slow and full of cruft but has an AMP varietal.

My way to rationalize it? People thought the same thing years before you, or I, was born. And they'll think the same years after the both of us are gone. It can be demoralizing, yes, but ultimately a stoic approach seems to me the best way to "think away" things like this.

Bonfire of the Vanities, The Right Stuff, Electric Kool Aid Acid Test. Good spread of his styles.

I mean the whole thing is such a bad business model.

A plug for Personal Capital for tracking multiple cards / investment accounts... No ads, just prompts to sign up for their managed investing service occasionally (can't speak to that, fee seems high...). But their free product is substantially more useful than Mint et al. Great web app, great iOS app, really good tracking of expenses and cash flow. Some small annoyances like not linking with Coinbase / Robinhood and not allowing batch editing or smart-editing of transaction categories, but they are small when you look at the larger picture of all they provide for free.

Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Spelling_Board

Turbolinks just "works" so easily out of the box - for most use cases of persisting header / footer / etc between pages your users will think it's a "true" SPA. Even comes with the customizable css loading indicator now to re-enforce that feeling of speed.

Great read on China's influence in Africa:

I'm not sure the correlation is technical proficiency by itself, I think it's based upon a critical mass of your social circles using iMessage or not using iMessage. If you choose to, you can probably make a correlation between "technical savviness" and a user's choice between Android and Apple, but I don't think that is a deciding factor in who uses iMessage.

The reason people throw fits is because the experience between a group messaging together on iMessage is exceptional - this experience breaks down when even one of your friends in the chat doesn't have an Apple product. They aren't able to send or receive the majority of the "chat add ons" iMessage provides. I'm sure making the bubbles green vs. blue only helps to stoke the "us vs. them" fire.

I consider myself to be a reasonably technical user and still prefer to message with iMessage since I know the experience will be the same for everyone I'm chatting with. Yes, we _could_ all start using WhatsApp et al, but if 8/9 of our group message is on iMessage, why would we?

Vote for Middleman.

Why is this being downvoted? First thing you should do after an avalanche is dig your face out a foot or two and spit [1]. If it lands back on your face, you're facing up, if not, you're upside down. Taught early in AIARE courses.

You've definitely been added to a list somewhere for all those searches, lol.

Genuinely curious, how would this affect the way we work differently than, say, a SaaS product that powers decision making at an organization with voting / assignment of tasks. What is the inherent advantage to using Ethereum to power this? I'm not _trying_ to be cynical, I just struggle to see how this is anything more than shoehorning a new technology into an existing product / space. Not saying it's not cool or that it should be dismissed because of that, it seems like a great proof of concept and it seems executed well, but I fail to see any real benefit to this to an "organization" (Perhaps my assumption of an organization being a business is my problem here) over a SaaS product that does the same thing.

So it's like Asana with a reputation system?

Pretty much have to stick to iPhone 6S for the rest of my life... So disappointing to see possibly THE ONLY universal port - the 3.5mm aux - be removed from devices before our eyes. I wonder what the adoption rate on Bluetooth / Lightning / USBC headphones is. Can't imagine more than 5% or so.

Right? There is no better teacher than driving through a few brutal upstate New York winters to teach one how to drive in the elements. No WAY am I trusting a car more than my own abilities to do so.

I'll put in a vote for Fresh Air:

Very cool visualizations of upcoming weather.

Personal Capital is pretty good - their investment service is pretty overpriced, but their free portfolio management tools work most of the time, provide great graphing, and seem to handle all my accounts easily across a variety of banks.

JetBlue, Alaska, Virgin are all good options in my experience.
