I prefer searching too, but sometimes it's nice to just "put TV on." I do this now with Amazon Prime Video, which has a "Live" feature that mimics a guide akin to Channel Surfer. Also my dad (age 85) struggles with Youtube on our TV because of the decision paralysis.

Was Teen Vogue profitable?

“Yet as Google does the Googling, humans no longer visit the websites from which the information is gleaned. ”

Can you blame them? These publishers’ content is buried under paywalls, logins, screen-engulfing ads, deceptive headlines, the list goes on forever. Publishers created such user-hostile experiences that people are desperate for a user interface that’s barely there and gives them what they want, and will gladly pay $20 per month for it.

They want your email address so they can spam you with newsletters, which increase retention.

I would try to find data like "tasks over 30 days old never get completed" and tie the decision (and marketing) to something like that.

This pianist is really manipulating the tempo.

I send an email to my manager every week with two headings: “This week” and “Next week.” 3-5 concise bullet points under each heading, no sub-bullets. I avoid bullets like “Met with Sal about XYZ” or other wheel-spinning stuff that doesn’t translate to a performance review or interview. I include links liberally. Every manager has loved these emails, and they’re really handy for performance reviews, interviews, or even as a paper trail.

Same. My current job resulted from: seeing a hiring manager post about the role, applying at the link she shared in her post, and spending 2 hours crafting a DM to her. Interviewed and got the job, and knew nobody at the company.

I would be interested in trying the product if the content is as good or better than the content here. More features will not get me to switch, however.

I live in Colorado but still use the accountant in NYC I've had since 2003. It's typically around $400 -- I know it has gone up over the years, but I haven't really noticed or felt the increases.

Original photography sometimes has tricky licensing — photos are good for only 5 years, then have to be renewed. That’s what photo editors at these magazines do. The text content itself is usually a one-and-done deal though.

Thanks for this list. In 2014, I switched to a vegan diet with a heavy emphasis on restricted oil consumption too, and the weight peeled off. I originally did it for dietary/health reasons, but over the years I've developed more of an ear for the ethical reasons too. I never have felt like I'm not getting enough protein, but occasionally when conversations like this come up, it's nice to know what's out there. I'd never heard of TVP.

Did you stay vegan after switching? I.e., are you getting your protein calories via a vegan diet?
