I built an app called Readstack to manage the pile-up of articles and webpages I had saved for later reading. The app shuffles your reading list randomly and requires you to delete the current article before moving to the next.
This one-by-one approach forces a decision: read now or discard, which significantly helped me clear my backlog. It has no users except me, but I'm glad I created something that effectively solved my problem
Almost the entire beginning of the video is about which colors are available and how the battery snaps, with zero hints about why I would need a cringe projector on me.
I can't believe this was shipped by ex-Apple people. Imagine Steve Jobs introducing the iPhone like this: "We are introducing a revolutionary new device. The first thing you should know about it is that it has a charger and an Apple processor. The second most important thing: here is how the battery works."
The TED reveal he did was really bad but I attributed it to being live. Think it's telling that they internally didn't see that and tell him "Dude, you desperately need to take speaking classes" and that with a pre-recording that was the best take.
Sign no one internally is being honest with them, feels they can say "It's bad"...
I couldn't figure out why he kept touching and adjusting the pin on her chest, a thing I would never do with a coworker. All I knew was that she was CEO and he was Chairman, so I knew it was a joint decision. This makes so much more sense.
A couple of weeks ago, I built an ChatGPT-powered recommendation engine for everything.
You begin by entering what you want to get recommended, and some examples of what you like and don’t like. After this it lets you swipe cards with suggestions to like/dislike them and further train the program.
I developed a simple read-later app called Readstack to tackle this problem. The idea is that it forces you to go through pages one-by-one, without postponing. So, if you want to read something, you will have one item on the top of the list, and you need to read it or remove it before you can go to the following items. It helped me reduce my read-later pule to zero.
Why this isn’t about Apple, if they literally use their market power to destroy competition? They could have done tons of features to benefit users, but they implement those which damage competitors.
Which is false as Apple tracks you across apps without showing you this new prompt.
> That isn’t about Apple destroying anyone.
Could you elaborate on what are you implying here?
Are you saying Apple doesn’t damage anyone with this policy? It is obviously false.
Are you saying damaging competitors and building its own ads ecosystem is not Apple’s primary motivation here? It also seems false, as they build their own ad system, which tracks users.
> They could have done tons of features to benefit users, but they implement those which damage competitors.
Why does Facebook rely on unethical and shady business practices that harm users? Facebook is harming itself. And how is Facebook, in any meaningful way, a competitor to Apple? Apple's ad's business is PEANUTS.
