There’s no real value to any of it.

Attach free beer to point levels and watch this thing explode.

Have only seen short clips and not once found it funny, but since you asked…

Makes no sense.

And the one time the rocket goes kablooey on its way up, everyone down the flight path will get a shower of used hypodermic needles, disposable vapes, and old appliances.

Think of the stairs as your daily dose of cardio.

Crying at what you get for the price, from California 😩

Was talking to a friend last week. He said the first company that offers fully remote, 4-day, 32-hour work weeks at full salary and benefits will get FLOODED with quality resumes, and nobody will ever want to leave there.

I’m feeling attacked.

Plastic, nitrogen (or some inert gas, if packaged), and formaldehyde.

Yum!

Protip: once you dissolve as much of the gunk as possible, take a small metal brush and give the contacts a scrub. If they’re coated, this helps open up metal contact surface to give the new batteries a chance.

But if the contacts are too corroded, you may need to MacGyver something with a soldering iron.

Had no idea… Great article.

Guarantee someone’s going to generate a bubbly podcast of Mein Kampf or Project 2025.

There was an appliance where the wifi chip was at the end of the power cable, embedded inside the plug. From the outside, you couldn’t really tell. It was there so radiation inside the box couldn’t affect the wireless signal as much.

I can imagine some genius thinking it’s a good idea to run a server from inside a cable or a connected home appliance.

Ed is getting good at lobbing these darts at hype bubbles.

The thing that this writeup ignores is that the object isn’t to show short-term revenue, but to put all competitors out of business, be the last one standing, and create a monopoly. Either that or get bought out so the investors can move on to the next thing. But at $150B valuation, only MSFT or Nvidia can afford to buy them outright.

Google, Meta, and Amazon burned through cash for years, but they eventually outran all competition and then monetized the users who had nowhere else to go.

Last time they did that, it didn’t go over so well: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/oops-our-bad/

If you use github pages, you can create, deploy, and host static websites for free. Only cost, if you want your own URL, is for a custom DNS name.

You can use their default Jekyll static rendering engine, and create the content using Markdown. And with github actions, all you need to update the content is create markdown, then push the change to the same repo. After a few minutes, the new content shows up.

Hugo can also be used, but it takes a few extra steps: https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/

You can also find ‘themes’ to customize the look and feel of the site, specific to the site generation tool.

If you want a lot of extra features, Docusaurus is pretty much as good as it gets, and you can set it up to push out to GH pages: https://docusaurus.io/docs/deployment

The main problem is they larded the app with so much obscure functionality and confusing user interactions. Then, when the UI couldn’t sustain all the new edge cases, they decided they would re-design the whole thing (badly).

Result: confusing UI, reduced functionality, and inevitable screamingly bad press.

They really need opinionated product management, with a clear vision, and decisions backed by hard data. Also, single-threaded ownership.

FFS, just make it do the basics with as few taps as possible. How hard is that?
