Haha, yes!
Progressivism is as if an ad agency would be asked to market communism to Californians.
When the whole world is dying for a dream to become just a bit like you, then you have to make up some even artificial struggles to fight, to get some self actualization.
Financial Times #paywall - such a horrible landing page #UX.
What might be the concersion rates on these paywalls for new users on mobile?
- 1 in 1,000 would be a stretch.
I'd love to see the meeting where they agreed that pissing off 999 users for potentially satisfying 1 is a good tradeoff.
The old web and fiat is so fucked. Fewer readers and less revenues day by day, yet they can't snap themselves out of it. Incremental evolution straight to the graveyard.

Reposts for sure don't scale, algos are needed.
I got one question for him.
- Does he like it when polititians steal from him and his (future) family on his watch?
Nice. Clear priorities. No bs.

Austin is filled with these Chive-Atmoshphere TVs which are just looping funny videos non stop. My favorite brewery put them on all over; not a favorite brewery anymore.
Apparently they get the bar owners to install because they tell them the stat that patrons stay 16% longer if the TV is on at their place.
- I'm suprised anyone believes that, or thinks that it's something their bar has been missing.
The startup installs the TVs and then sneaks ads in between the videos. $1 Bill valuation apparently (sad state of the world).
Nothing ruins conversations like a TV playing nearby.
The levels of zombification across the big corps offices speak for themselves. It's already here.
It's funny-sad that the suit and tie potemkin village known as LinkedIn is now by far the best platform to reach the nocoiners.
Visa and Mastercard agree to $30B settlement that will lower merchant fees

"Settlement gives merchants the ability to impose surcharges on customers, depending on what kind of Visa or Mastercard card they use. Those surcharges would likely hit cardholders who get rewards such as cash back and airline miles, since those can carry higher swipe fees.
On the other hand, some cardholders could get discounts on goods and services, since merchants would be able to make deals with banks to get them to use what they consider to be a preferred card."
- Time for the Satscards
Matt should be sending cease and desist any second now.
One of the first economists who made sense to me.
Midwits have interpreted his Thinking Fast and Slow (and most of the Behavioral Economics) as a call to arms against the intuition and common sense.
In the subsequent years, it was almost guaranteed that any mention of the world "bias" comes hand in hand with a technocratically planned solution. Behavioral Econ became just a justification for the central planning.
Fortunately, it has phased out, and we're living in the uprising of the left curve in last years.
I think Kahneman must have been enjoying this rebalancing.
"Plus, this would actually require government that can do IT"
In alternative universe, people go shopping on Silk Road instead of Amazon, and the profit pie is overgrowing and shared with all its users.
We should make that vision true for Ross.

Očekávám tenhle a podobné argumenty v komentářích. A moje odpověď zní: asi tak jako za komunistů nebyly úplatky, korupce a zneužívání moci systémový problém.😎👍
Přeji dětem na podobných školách, aby jejich traumata nebyla příliž hluboká a léčba proběhla úspěšně.
