@vicmsong.bsky.social really like your best fitness tracker article, thanks! One thing that I always wonder about is which wearable is the most friendly for watchface development? Have you writen anything on this topic yet? I've dabbled in samsung's kit few years ago but there has to b smt better?

@ravenben.bsky.social great freakonomic episode, thanks!

Though I have a bone to pick with nightshade - if it's there to increase costs doesn't that mean that small businesses will be effected more consolidating more power to billionair companies for whom it's a rounding error?

Been subscribed to @proton.me since 2017 and recent comments are really disheartening and frankly feel extremely out of touch. You really need to stay out of this and focus on making awesome stuff instead.

Wished it was longer! Also would have loved more discussions on ethics of dog ownership.

It feels like everyone is afraid of this topic and conveniently disassociates themselves to protect this collective illusion that dogs are our friends not slaves and I say it as a rescue dog owner myself.

OK EVERYBODY am doing a new show!

Ask Hank Anything is an interview show where folks ask me their most burning questions, I do my best to answer them, while learning a bit about each other in the process.

New episodes premiere the last Wednesday of every month youtube.com/complexly

Ibuprofen is definitely a net good for humanity. It's an incredibly important drug and I'll fight you over it Bob 😀

Ibuprofen is generic since 1985 - I think that as long enough to not be considered big pharma.

That's not how tech is funded though. OpenAI is extremely unlikely to file even if it's not making money. Maybe in 10 years?

Bluesky makes no money either btw.

Rules for Writing Software Tutorials It's easier than you think to write an exceptional software tutorial. You can stand out in a sea of mediocre guides by following a few simple rules.

I often see developers make mistakes in their tutorials that trip up readers, so I thought a lot about what makes some tutorials effective and what makes others frustrating.

Great article that very much mirrors our blog content guide for our SAAS we're promoting through organic search. Though unfortunately search engines are still too dumb to understand many of these points and it's such a struggle to find balanced ground between nice for humans and nice for machines :|

People missing the point. Twitter was never about making money. He owns a huge source of propaganda for a fraction of his assets. At least Twitter being a financial failure hurts his ego though.

Also people focus on China ownership which is not the main concern here imo.

It's just a bad social network like Instagram or Facebook that promotes toxic behavior on purpose. Be it engagement driving or purposeful propaganda or turning blind eye to bad actors. It's just a net bad for our society.

Same way millions of people were exposed to far more alt right and toxic hate. So I'm not really sure your anecdote has any pull here. Data doesn't lie - tiktok is incredibly toxic and tbh I say that as someone who likes and follows many of tiktok creators, it's just the truth.

Wildly incorrect map. Poland and all 3 Baltic countries have universal healthcare and had it for decades...

I think people underestimate American ingenuity in thinking that healthcare would stop big players from raking in cash. I'm not convinced economics would change at all tbh except people would be happier and able to spend more and work harder.

I just don't see anyone ever taking a rocket to fly between earth endpoints. People would rather sit in comfort for 10 hours than be shaking in a rocket.

At least troops kinda make sense a little bit. SpaceX is just peddling vaporware for idiots here.

Yup! I live in Thailand and I have super fine tattoo on my inner arm that still looks fresh 3 years later. So 100% about care just like all skin stuff tbh

Yes, the finer the tattoo the more susceptible it is to sun exposure and in general your body breaks down ink and closer to the surface and/or finer it is the faster it breaks down and blurs.

You should ideally hide fine tattoos on the inner parts and tattoo a bit deeper which hurts, a lot lol

Dont worry it'll fade in a few months. This should have been really done on inside of the arm as shading like this is impossible to maintain on the outside.

Reef Highlights 2024
YouTube video by Drawaqa Marine Conservation Trust Reef Highlights 2024

My marine biologist son Rob has lived on the same island for 7 years, doing painstaking work to improve biodiversity and train local people in conservation. Here’s a new video. Nothing dramatic (he’s not Attenborough and doesn’t have a film crew). Just a healthy coral reef:

That's usually done as a spiritual successor though as IP name is not strong enough so might as well take the formula and start a new IP with much more freedom imo.

You, me, after school, basketball court πŸ˜€πŸ€

But you're right though imo good strategy focusing on long throws is much easier to watch as a casual viewer. Dudes wrestling under the hoop just isn't all that exciting. So maybe this "Moreyball" strategy is a win for the viewers!

All of them have an exit plan and when you have millions and a highly diverse portfolio you can treat Musk as a moonshot project.

But 75% is crazy high.

Reading more about it seems like NBA is approaching this with max volume "Moreyball" effect while European basketball is more about maximizing efficiency.

I'm no pro but I'm pretty sure I can hit 25% of free throw 3 pointers so that's why this stat is so surprising to me πŸ˜…
