Much simpler UI than n8n, congrats on the launch!

Since Timeful got shut down, I've been looking for a great solution for task time-blocking. This comment thread has so many great solutions for me to try, including Akiflow, thanks for working on this problem! I can't use it right now because our corporate Google Workspace accounts are locked from sharing, but looking forward to using it eventually.

> It turned out that bankers had been coordinating with one another to manipulate the rate, pronounced “LIE-bore,” by skewing the number higher or lower for their banks’ gain.

It's rare to see shade thrown so overtly in the Times, because it's so rare it can be done this deniably, and always makes me chuckle when it does.

OMG, I was wondering why they waited so far down in the article to describe the pronunciation. Only after seeing your comment did it click!

Is this kinda like Changelists at Google?

Genuine question: what is the advantage to the end user by seeing non-AMP versions of webpages?

This is super insightful, thanks for writing it up! Any details on the smart GTM strategy between enterprises and SMBs? I feel like enterprise is a dangerous place to start because of the long test/iterate loop, but SMBs could make your initial acquisition cost numbers look terrible.

It’s pretty messed up that “defrauding investors” is the legal action most likely to succeed in court and not, ya know, defrauding the people they actually defrauded.

That's a jurisdiction issue though. Of course, the underlying cause is that the US, unlike other countries, doesn't have a pay parity law for US-employed temps.

Thanks for sharing that link! Interesting that the study notes that the drop in sexual activity was mostly in low-income/underemployed men, and students. So probably not the demand side of OF.

I agree with smaller and more expensive. But less flexible? How is a fixed bus route that needs to run on a fixed schedule, reasonably invariant to current demand, more flexible than a car that can take you point-to-point on-demand?

I see this as the future of public transport, where you'd have a combo of smaller and bigger vehicles (including self-driving minibuses and buses) running autonomously, with options to pay more in order to walk less, but only running where people actually need them . Similar to Uber and Lyft Pool before the pandemic, where you could pay less to be picked up on a main street intersection instead of your front door.
