Serious question, what would the ramifications of an economic solution? If you appeal content removal and your challenge is validated, the platform then applies a financial penalty to the requester? It would reduce drastically the amounts of request and thus false positives?

I work in a large FMCG company which relies heavily on Microsoft powerpoint.

One major problem is that people tend to make extremely bloated, 2-3 gb files for 100 slides and things freeze up, underperform, etc.

Working with AI I wrote a command line tool that replaces the file name with .zip, extracts the content and then run a series of resize, compressions on images and videos. Once done it simply packages back the zip and renames it back to pptx. Files drop by 70-80% in size on average with no visible loss of quality.

This command line tool was made in less than 30 minutes and the conversion was less than 10 messages back and forth.

I tend to use a sentence along these lines: "Give me a straightforward summary of what we discussed so far, someone who didn't read the above should understand the details. Don't be too verbose."

Then i just continue from there or simply use this as a seed in another fresh chat.

Would it be possible to serve a fake fingerprint that appears legitimate? Or even better mimic the finger print of real users who've visited a site you own for example?

I had a similar experience once where a vendor demoed their tracking tech for advertising. This was in France (before GDPR) and they had partnered with many apps (Weather apps and such) to access user locations. I don't remember the size of their target but it was a big chunk of the French population. They showed a map of Paris showing the day of a particular user from leaving their home, which route they took, how long they stood in front of which store and how long the spend inside others etc. My boss at the time found the whole thing very exciting...

Jobchef.io is a SaaS I've worked on for a little while and recently released.

I have a background in marketing and HR in large company, this is my first venture into programming after learning to code on my own (VBA -> Automate the boring stuff -> coursera -> React & a lot of help debugging from a very generous friend.)

Releasing a full working product was a great milestone, but so far market fit is still quite unclear.

I wonder how much of this will be leaking i to the API or maybe you'll have a price point which includes certain "data sources" and another where these are filtered out?

The IT at the company I work for recently launched their own version of ChatGPT. Basically a chat interface that only covers the text generation. (Not image generation, OCR, etc.) When they saw nobody was using their version, they straight out blocked the domain of OpenAI altogether and the page now show a message directing users of their solution. It's a 80k + employee organization, so imagine the impact of such decision.

I spent almost 7 years in Paris, now 6 months in Tokyo. The metro in Paris can't even be compared in terms of cleanliness.

I one needed to run a photoshop script to remove automatically the background from thousands of products image. The script was relatively simple, but my laptop at the time kept overheating so i put it outside.. let me tell you that montreal winter is cooler than a fridge!

I think the concern is from the previous ties of Sam to HN

I've never actually developed a mini program, but worked on projects with our china teams to develop some activation for our brand on WeChat.

What I understand is that a mini program needs to be "packaged" and shipped to WeChat as a bundle. The size of the bundle is relatively small. (~10mb ?)

Of course you can load some content from outside, not everything is within those 10mb, but I think it's still relatively limited. Calling it apps within apps is a stretch.

I had the same experience with Remarkable Tablet. Since i got the tablet as a early adopter, they gave me unlimited cloud connectivity to the tablet.

I don't understand why someone buying a high end e-reader like this one should be charged for basic cloud connectivity, so I'm really happy to have it for free.

The problem with Paris really is in the lack of respect for pedestrians space. Motorcycles often park on the sidewalk, and most of the time the side walk has an area monopolized by motorcycle. Since motorcycles have to drive from and to these "parking" spaces, you very often end up with pedestrians and motorcycles inches appart.

This simply creates a very blurry line between spared spaces. It's not surprising that e-scooters simply ride on the sidewalk and are a hasard, when the motorcycles themselves also do.

The other problem is the streets are old and often have brick sections. ok if you're a car, annoying on a bike, almost unbearable with the small wheels of the scooters. Often they ride on the sidewalk with is a but less bumpy.

The most interesting to me is the correlation between the delinquency among children and teens, and the years of introduction of tetraethyl lead in gasoline for anti-knocking properties.

I read somewhere that Thomas Midgley Jr could be considered, in modern history, to be the organism with highest impactful on earth with his invention of Chlorofurocarbons and their impact on the ozone layers.

I'm genuinely curious, is there other ressources you would recommend to use? I've been learning Japanese for 2-3 months on Duolingo, and I do feel I'm getting more and more comfortable with the characters. I will start taking lessons with a teacher in April when i move there, but I wanted to arrive with some base.

ROAS is a good operational metric, but I'd argue that for a SAAS, you need to look at CLV vs cost of acquisition.

To go even further, because of volatility, it would probably be a fixed USD price driving the crypto coin price displayed.

One interesting part of the WeChat ecosystem in my opinion is the max size given to mini programs. The packaged app must be 10mb or less.

Of course video and images can be hosted externally, but it still forces companies who develop these mini programs to pay a minimum of attention to keeping their functionality relatively simple.

I read a book called "the power of habits" a few years back and there was a few chapters focusing on the gamification and how our brains tend to develop habits (and in some case addiction).

Ever since reading this book, I've noticed patterns in the way apps are developed.

Candy crush and other similar game apps are a bit obvious, but for me the most sticking one for me is the facebook app. They introduced a few years back these emoji that flash in the screen when you received a hearth or a smiley face in the chat. This is almost a direct copy of a technique used by the gambling industry where they flash coins in the screen of a gambling machine. In the book, I believed they explained that by making positive results / feeling of result stronger, you can trigger more deep rooted habits.

I'm curious, did you try a subscription model for your customers? Maybe you could even target to ones you see ordering every once in a while and offer them a monthly bag + a small incentive for the commitment?

Honestly i've been using it free for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. I think the free tier is worth the shot.

I took a UX methodology class a few years back and the teacher kept referring to this author as the father of UX design. I think its a great book to explain intrinsic usability, how a product should feel natural to the user without needing any instructions. One example was designing mall entrance doors where there is a lot of human traffic, having an arrow or no arrow showing the direction, should you write exit ? Etc.

I very much liked the book.

Could it be linkedin to your location? Song rights are different from one country to another, could Alexa's server be checking for right in one location au you live in another ?

Good managers should focus on taking the best decisions they can with the available information. Sure if they have a tech background, some of that information is easier to process if technical, but good decisions rely on much more than just what is good in the opinion of the tech lead.

If a manager starts analyzing the technical information in front of them without the background to do so, they are missing the point. They should rely on the opinion of their more technical counterparts when the information is technical.

Yet, the opposite is also true, if a technical background person becomes manager and doesn't trust their accounting, finance, marketing counter part, then they wouldn't be a very good manager either.

The above assumes that the manager has a more general role and that decisions on technical topics isn't their only job. If yes, of course a technical background should be required.

I always thought that if bitcoin crashed, the mining centers could be refactored someway into other use for computing power alone.

Now with this new currency, you could maybe even run cloud storage. Maybe we are accidentally building the futur alternatives to Amazon cloud services.

Now i feel like rewatching that movie!
