considering that the watch is practically useless without a connected phone

It can still tell you the time. Its primary function is a watch.

I’m also baffled that they didn’t do this. If I am buying something that becomes so precious to my workflow then I don’t want a hardware subscription. I also want peace of mind that the company will not be gone, or the product discontinued in a few years.

Very nice! I’m making one for NYC subway. It’s still in-progress and animations need a lot more work. Next steps was to adjust the size and overlay it on a proper map.

You mention PII and potentially whether this is it.

From a privacy perspective, this is better described as metadata, it is not personally identifiable information (PII).

I have received notifications for stories published by the org I work at when they were delisted for certain terms. Like here, it’s people who got caught doing disreputable things and trying to cleanup their online presence.

Many sites have setup Google Search Console and so you can be notified through that.

Not quite - this page has been there and saying this since April, so ~3 months ago.

Oh, I’d forgotten about this! I never drive much in Ireland but was in the car a lot with my dad as a kid. When he’d visit family in Longford this was happening all the time - I just assumed everyone knew him!

Years later, when I’ve been driving and visiting the country, I found myself on the receiving end of this and it all clicked.

Thank you for this wonderful reminder.

Thanks for sharing the links. Love this part!

“We looked at each other, took a deep breath, and launched the application. The monitor burst into flames. We calmly carried it outside to avoid setting off smoke detectors, plugged in another monitor, and tried again.”

I doubt it. Would that not interfere with the scan? I’ve really no idea on the merits of this.

Amazing. Unless you’re in a wheelchair or can’t stand.

I would broadly agree with this (based on years of dealing directly with user-facing UX and setup steps). Small hurdles, even easy ones, create larger barriers to adoption then you’d think.

User behavior shifts over time. When I was at The New Yorker you’d see that a tiny but meaningful % of users used share tools. Even with that decline the % in this story is ‘good’ especially if you assume 40% of their traffic are probably bots.

What it also misses is: even if someone doesn’t use share tools, they do act as an call-to-action that can inspire people to share - though they may copy the url and not use the button.

It’s a tough game.

I used to love Roku. I even went through their early developer stuff to play with custom channels. It was clear many years ago that their shift form platform to ad provider was underway. Why can't a company always be amazing at something and just stick to that (looking at you Dropbox)?

I have a Roku TV an dmy setup is simple:

- Disable wifi on Roku TV

- Add Apple TV and connect to router

Beyond what is captured in the headline, there is no substance to this post

Still a work in progress but I’m making my own subway web app. A by-product of this is this realtime subway map of NYC

That was true 29, 40, 80 years ago

At the NYT? I don’t doubt AI is used in figuring out headlines but ultimately a human makes the decision.

I would not follow this advice. The most trouble I’ve had with RSS was usually from not having it. I also have never used CDATA at a word level - just wrap the full text block in it.

They’ll probably sell more units of this than Tesla ever will with the Cybertruck

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid it. I’ve banned it at work as it is not the correct as preach for any of our work.

If you are referring to Renee Nicole Good, then the video evidence contradicts that entirely. I am not going to discuss that further, I am just pointing out that your assertion is not a known fact and much of ICE's narrative on that killing has been shown to be untrue or incomplete.

Just posting to be part of this historical record.

No. That wasn’t a concern with RSS for publishers. Most publishers have RSS still or feeds. Scraping index pages continues to be trivial.

A neat and funny idea - but in the end it is hostile to the users who don’t always control what’s added to links.

They typically do but are disabled due to the volume of spam and moderation overhead. Send an email.

It’s not that they don’t like it. It’s more like they don’t care, or it’s not on their radar.

I have an alternative in this for Alamo Drafthouse. It sends me alerts as soon as new movies are listed, typically before promoted or announced online.

It’s meant I can jump on re-runs etc I really care about (just saw Fight Club last week) - and get the specific seat location I prefer.

(If you want alerts just contact me with your email and location - info in bio)

I am confused.

The person who created the PR is user "sasha-id".

The person saying no to the refund is also user "sasha-id".

What?

Where was it exactly thats someone from Anthropic said no to a refund request? I feel I am missing the obvious somehow.
