It became politicized because politicians latched onto it as a way to cutback entitlement spending which is unfortunate.

With all the innovation in AI, you'd think there's more accurate way to track jobs data.

Figma has neglected its core audience - the designers.

Instead, it is trying to be all things to everyone, except it's serving no on well at this point.

And it all started with FigJam. Still a half-baked product trying to take piece of pie from Miro.

Then they released Dev Mode to extract more revenue. Now Figma Sites to compete against web build/hosting sites.

So many half baked products, it's frustrating. They're abusing their monopolistic position in the market.

there will be a time where they'll have to pull a Google and retire products that never worked out.

I feel like the first big disaster already happened. In the job market.

Anyway, where there is public safety risk involved, I can't imagine a scenario where AI will directly cause a catastrophe. If anything, I feel overall safety will increase.

However, I can't help but wonder what the over reliance would do to general population over the next few decades. Would people essentially become dumber and less skilled?

I'm pushing 50 and personally I love the look. Their attention to details and execution are amazing. It's perfection.

But my aging eyes would like option to turn of the translucency altogether. That would be gold.

I don't mind physicality, but not glass. Please.

There are reasons why most controls are NOT made of glass in real life.

Just because it mimics glass that exists in real life, that doesn't make it skeuomorphism.

skeuomorphism is grounded on real world counterparts.

How many buttons in real life are actually made of glasses clear or frosted?

Agreed. I also think too many people are trying to emulate his exact style, mostly to their detriment even though Jobs honed the craft for decades.

Good question... I think they're pretty different in taste and how they're made (which is why they taste so different)

Miso and "dwen jang" taste very different because miso is usually mixed with soybean and rice, whereas dwen jang is all soybean. They are also aged differently. Miso is packed into more air tight container, whereas dwen jang is shaped into a block, hung outside to air dry.

thanks for the list. it's brilliant.

I can't but wonder though... are we slave to productivity?

What do we need this omnipresent help? I'm sure some people do. If you're CEO of a large company, if you are a doctor seeing hundreds of patients in a week, etc.

But me? An average middle age guy with 9-5 job doing white collar job at healthcare company?

I enjoy doing some things that are 'inefficient'. Is that a really a problem?

For movies that have heavy CGI / blue screen reliance, it is almost irrelevant where it is actually shot.

Q2 is going to be bad.

I'll be using that going forward ;-)

I agree. The urine on floor is because people are generally less careful in public toilet when aiming, peeing, fully draining, and flicking.

When we're outside, we are generally more in rush. We had to 'hold in' longer before peeing because of line. It's unfamiliar setting with weirdly shaped urinal.

And in some parts of Europe, urinals are installed so god damn high, I almost have to tip toe and pee into the the air in projectile.

Not full exemption. They're still subject to the 20% tariff (instead of the ridiculous 145%) so Trump can save his face.

It works fine for most use cases, but Google Docs and Sheets features pale in comparison full desktop base apps.

users don't care about semi ugly UI either, as long as it's fast and legible.

As a data guy, I'm not sure how useful this chart is.

But it sure is fun to look at. I enjoyed it ;-)

Not sure why it would intermittently redraw the whole scene though.. could be a Chrome thing.

exactly. Apple has had its share of failed products that could not be saved by the best storytelling.

I agree, that was one step too far. I really think there needs to be some regulations around what controls should be physical.

Thankfully, Japanese and Korean cars still have ergonomics. Hope they stay that way.

They actually omitted M2 from a lot of the comparisons, which isn't surprising because M3 was only 10-15% faster.

Sounds more like non-compliance than a workaround, banking on their alumni being more forgiving to it. ;-)

120hz would’ve been nice… since they likely won’t make pro modal in this size.

I'm probably sure everyone knows my first pet's name by now.

If the barrier to entry is low for high quality production and anyone is able to make good looking videos, I wonder how audience perception would evolve for judging and valuing what is considered 'good'.

I'm wondering... if the rapid development of openai will actually have deflationary effect on the economy.

Kilimani to jkir is about 20 km and a bit over half hour ride. Their published rate is about 16 bucks.

A longer 52km ride is about 38 bucks.

It’s cheap by western. Not sure how it fares against other comparable countries.

What country are you based?

That's true... but african elephant is fairly close in side to Wooly mammoth? (though with less majestic tusks)

"almost zero marginal cost afterwards"

My father is a retired pharma exec in charge of driving down cost by setting up plants overseas.

He once told me: "For some drugs, ingredient costs less than flour at grocery store"

The stories he tells me about having to bribe local officials (as well as everyone in the supply chain) China and India are hilarious. That was 20 years ago. Not sure if it is better or worse now.
