Kind of... Spent a while debugging an issue where the client was convinced he could not schedule new appointments in the system on the 29th.

It turned out he had set another setting incorrectly which was causing the appointment never to be valid.

But the rarity of the date let me wonder in the wrong direction for a while...

It seems the authors did not find evidence of a "pink tax":

"Finally, while our findings do NOT support the existence of a pink tax as conceived by regulators, a more expansive definition of the pink tax could include differences in markups across men’s and women’s products."

"...our finding that women’s personal care products are not systematically more expensive than substantially similar men’s products calls into question the role of government intervention to reduce the pink tax."

What is the average cost from using other methods?

The big question to me is: At what level of the tech stack should moderation happen?

Should it be done by the ISP? By the IaaS? By the software provider? By developers?

Ideally, moderation would occur at just one level. That way, there are less avenues for abuse to occur. Leaving moderation rules vague may lead to some services that could be beneficial (whistleblowers, etc) to be easily taken down.

Interesting study. Just reading outputs from GPT3 or other models makes it seem almost lifelike. Sometimes it is easy to forget it is just a well fit function with a lot of parameters.

Slack has an interesting model where the license count charged to the company only includes active users which is a subset of those that are registered.

It is quite tough. What are your thoughts on if it is worth it?

"Productivity porn is anything that after having been consumed makes you feel like you were productive when in reality you didn’t actually do anything." - Interesting definition.

I am surprised this hasn't happened a long time ago. It has felt for a while that Facebook has been almost entirely cannibalized by Instagram.

Also wonder how much of that is due to Tiktok being more expensive to produce and thus having a higher average price per influencer?

Are you a very avid adopter of products from early stage startups? Forced updates tend to be more common with small companies that can't devote resources to maintaining backwards compatibility.

Definitely a vanity metric ;)
