This is huge. The 20-30 minute charge is very clearly a bottleneck, despite owners saying its a good opportunity to go into Target and do some shopping.
After over a year of building Flyflow alongside you, we've decided to sunset the product. The team is joining forces with a larger company to build something new (more to come!). Talking to our customers has consistently been the most inspiring part of my day; thank you for that.
I predict his character arch will be similar to Adam Neumann and Travis Kalanick - first the media gushes over him and praises him as a genius. Then the media starts to question him. Then they start to fully dig in and dig up a ton of dirt.
With no mainstream outlet pushing forth the allegations his sister is claiming on social, I imagine right now they are looking under every rock on that end.
I respect his hustle but there is something about him in watching him speak live and in person that comes off as incredibly manipulative. He knows how to speak and pause in a way that gets the audience to laugh and gives soundbites. I am long OpenAI but I don’t trust Sam.
He could follow the character arch of his friend Thiel where the media come after him but he’s too resilient.
Or Zuckerberg where the media hated him for years and then moved on.
European cities were built a thousand years ago to be dense by default because that was the technology.
The US is very young and not dense, save for a few downtown clusters.
There is definitely a lot that can be done, but it really comes down to user demand. People actually prefer cars if it’s the viable option. But depends on distance, timing, distance, and goals.
We shall see how ridership shifts in Los Angeles - probably the greatest live experiment in trying to force habit change currently in progress. Anyone here have inside baseball numbers on the habit changes in LA?
Amazon Turk is more of a platform for small business to hire other workers for micro-tasks. Raterlabs is used only by Google to improve their core product.
Partially but no, it’s comparatively pretty bad after playing with it a lot.
It seems to be based on a much older and more literal algorithm where it buries a relevant post on page 3 just because the keyword was not perfectly in the title.
Probably intentional or they just don’t prioritize since a small % of people use it.
Better to use “site:” search for your fav blogs instead.
When those reports come out that “The average Google employee makes $220k a year” or whatever, it’s totally misleading since it doesn’t account for all the outsourced labor at $10 an hour that is critical to tuning their algorithms.
The only thing I’ve figured out that works is building a Google Custom Search Engine with your favorite list of 50-100 blogs but it’s far from perfect and doesn’t help with new discovery.
> Now that they are dominating the entire search market, they are skewing results to anyone who pays for promotion with them under the table, and it's not clearly apparent to users.
Do you mean for restaurant results specifically or all Google Search results? Big difference if both.
I might get downvoted for restating this, but for all its faults and headlines in recent years, America truly is built on laissez-faire principles so it’s unlikely to happen.
Proof is the extent to which Alex Jones types of figures have yet to be totally banned by the government, just deplatformed by private social networks.
That being said the conversation about Tik Tok and Chinese ownerships and servers did seem to get close to this.
