Agreed, OpenAI and Anthropic want to get as close to the user as possible. Browser is used more often than a specific website or standalone desktop app and much less work than an entire OS. Raycast also seems well positioned but perhaps more niche.
Perhaps Atlassian was sitting on cash and needed to make some bets. If you can build a big enough user base for a browser it can earn handsomely from AdWords type referral fees. Look at what Google pays Apple to be default on Safari and how much referral spend Chrome recouped for Google etc. Maybe Atlassian will try and promote Dia to its customer base and look to launch more AI type commercial product discovery experiences like Perplexity Shopping.
Am not money conscious in that regard. Own a full suite of Apple products and have no issue paying the premium for them.
The issue is with the intentional misleading of people to think their device is slowing down when they just need a battery replacement. At Apple’s scale it’s significant and dishonest towards its customers.
This is great! Congrats and thanks for sharing your work! People have been asking for dark mode for years. This has it and so many other nice UI improvements too. Well done!
Linear.app is awesome. We switched from Jira and our team's participation on issues went through the roof. It's fast, clean, has keyboard shortcuts and replaces agile terminology with simpler, familiar paradigms. We activated Slack, Sentry and GitLab integrations too. It's a beautiful piece of software to use and part of the reason we chose it was to inspire ourselves to try build something of similar quality in our own domain. Seriously, it's that good.
I've also used Redmine a few years ago. It gets the job done but nowhere near as slick and fun to use.
I think this is going to be the natural side-effect. I remember seeing Monzo posting salary ranges of £40k - £100k for certain positions. So for the right person they'll make a plan but they can also lure in more candidates and low-ball them when making an offer at the end of the process.

Doesn't Google already consider that if a user returns to the results page (or clicks a second link) then the first link visited was not satisfactory. Seems like a pretty elegant solution.
Yeah, I've just realised they've probably accidentally included a generic URL in the cache rules that they actually didn't intend to cache.
I originally thought they were trying to cache account data responses and so wondered why they wouldn't just use unique query parameters in that case. Definitely risky business though.
I see, so the it's likely that a generic URL pattern (like your example) was accidentally included in their caching rules.
I guess I didn't think of that originally because I thought if you wanted to cache some kind of response data like this, why on earth would you use a generic URL? But perhaps they probably didn't intend to cache this endpoint.
The blog post doesn't say much more than the headline. I'm curious about the specifics of what could of actually happened here.
In my limited experience working with CDNs wouldn't you just cache the responses of unique URLs and have some sort of cookie check at the edge before serving it.
So my own app would request something like /api/account?id=123 with my own id in there.
How would you end up getting other people's data in your app if your app only calls that unique URL?
Totally. A light UI with some tuned edge caching and you will be golden.
There are quite a few competitors popping up, the main issue is that they all seem to be bootstrapped and don't have the funding to make a disruptive marketing splash.
FY19/20 - $314.7bn profit (3/4 of Ireland's GDP) and paid no tax on it.
> The subsidiary, which collects licence fees for use of copyrighted Microsoft software around the world, recorded an annual profit of $314.7bn in the year to the end of June 2020, according to accounts filed at the Irish Companies Registration Office. Its profits jumped from just under $10bn the previous year and compare with Ireland’s 2020 GDP of €357bn ($437bn).
> Tax transparency campaigners described the “tax aggression displayed by Microsoft, and facilitated by Ireland” as “beyond belief”.
Awesome work! I was wanting to build a library like this myself but you've executed it way better! You should try to build and charge for a web API for this to let communities auto-generate avatars for their new users.
Visiting London is a blast, living and working there is a grind. I was deeply unhappy after three years (from 2016) but I really enjoy going back to visit socially. I was earning pretty decently and living in Zone 2 between Holloway Road (Piccadilly) and Highbury & Islington (Overground) stations.
Once the novelty wore off and I'd got into the work day commute all I noticed was how filthy and over-crowded it is, and how nothing works. Too hot, too cold, too much snow or too much rain and trains don't run which causes a massive backlog of people and delays. It takes 40 min to get anywhere and there are frequently obstacles during your journeys (signal failures etc). You live in the same town but never see some of your friends because it is such a saga to get there and back. I worked in Leicester Square and could not get proper mobile signal there most of the time. Moving apartments is super stressful and estate agents gouge you every step of the way. Doing any sort of admin in that town is an absolute nightmare.
The restaurants are some of the best in the world but most of the time you need to book at least two weeks in advance, so there is almost zero chance of spontaneity. While restaurants are a bit pricey it's a 50% chance of being mediocre or the best meal of your life. Not to mention every time you sit down you are reminded that your two hour time limit on the table has started. Any exciting band or festival has tickets that sell out in seconds.
I also felt that interactions with people could often be a fine line between sarcasm and being patronising. A lot of my friends raved about London 10 years ago (and I believe them) but most have now left or are wanting to.
It's a shame though, London seems like it can be a great city but is being crushed under the weight of all the people and honestly the quality of life I experienced there was just not that good. It really feels like too many people have moved there and it's become a bit of a tragedy of commons situation.
Sorry to be a downer but I really feel that London gets a lot of hype and from my experience doesn't seem justified in its current state. So just wanted to share some of my experiences.
A lot of these articles don't actually mention specifically how the systems were compromised.
Was it a malicious email attachment that propagated through unsecured networks or outdated OS versions? And what data was encrypted? Are we talking regular excel files or actual databases?
It would be interesting to have some more detail or case studies so others could know how to fortify infection points and limit the blast radius of their own systems.
