there was no hint of them thinking they had done anything wrong.

the grand majority of folks know not to bite the hand that feeds them very well, more than anyone else could

people don't know this but LA is surprisingly fine without a car if you live in the right areas.

There are many people who live in west hollywood, downtown, santa monica who don't have cars! lyft/uber are also relatively cheap here.

soy has been demonized by the weightlifting/masculine community, but there's no estrogen in soy, just trace amounts of phytoestrogen.

meanwhile, these dudes drinking jugs of cow breast milk

it took me like 6-7 months to go vegan, it was hard for me to give up omelettes and cheese. but one day, I woke up and just didn't want to eat it anymore.

Start to have vegan meals once a day. then 3x a week. slowly your taste buds change and then you don't want it anymore

this article is great advice for solo or small group of devs to test the concept first. a startup with funding or any company with tons of rev has plenty of money to plunge into the proper mobile dev team and also do user research to see what they'd want to have in the app to use it.

there's a big difference between typing a URL into a web browser & downloading an app:

1. go to the app store 2. search for it and find the right one 3. make sure you have the right amount of space for it 4. download it 5. place it on the 5th screen of your phone 6. never see it

the way you use your phone is different than others though. in the non-tech world people use less than 10 apps, email, social media, messenger, and maybe an investment portfolio

I remember trying to get people to download an app I made in college and it was pretty hard, even when the app would show up #1 in the app store results after searching the name. Website would have been smarter, but an email list serv would have been the best bet to get that strong user base.

Once you have the user base, then publish the mobile app. I just don't recommend starting out with it until you've proven the concept and have loyal users

Can someone clear this up (preferably if you've worked with the FB API):

when NYT published that spotify and netflix have accessed to private messages, isn't that simply for them to do a POST call for sharing a tv show or song?

fb's revenue is fine and their products have become fundamental parts of the internet, esp for people 40+ and in 3rd world countries.

go to an animal sanctuary and see how beautiful the animals are in person. I promise you, if you transition to veganism you'll learn to love it.

what a lot of people don't know is that your taste buds and perspective on food/sustenance completely changes as you remove more and more animal products from your diet.
