@IamScottlarson Interestingly this isnt what happened. Facebook didnt incorporate instagram’s social mechanics. They grew and monetized the product, and integrated their ad targeting engine. Instagram integrated snap’s novel mechanic (stories) when they could not be bought

Zuckerberg's emails about the Instagram deal are a masterclass in business strategy and are worth studying. 🧵👇

It is WILD to me that Americans can basically choose whatever climate they want to live in This is an INCREDIBLE advantage I never hear ppl talk abt

@GergelyOrosz What do they do when manual testing is required? Eg new app is released, someone needs to make sure all the animations work properly and UI looks good on different screen sizes. Do they outsource?

Most Big Tech companies don't employ dedicated people to do testing (eg QA, SDET). Ones that do: it's frequently for hardware or software released monthly or less frequently. It's not because they don't care about quality: but because they found more efficient ways to get to it.

@mimi10v3 The goal is to deepen your friendship

someone on a locked acct recently complained that it's weird their friends want to have lunch despite no particular problem to solve or agenda for the lunch. Do you understand this social norm and do you enjoy unstructured meals w friends? what is the "point"?

@dieworkwear Not $10 but for luxury brands its more like $200 COGS

people who think that clothing companies are ripping everyone off should start a clothing business. if you think that it only costs $10 to make an item that retails for $1,000, you should start a company! you will be rich in no time.

@lulumeservey This is peak UX

Whatever else he is, Trump is a PR savant Returning to this site for the first time in over two years to post only a link to a GeoCities-looking website that uses a freshly taken mugshot to fundraise for a presidential campaign is - love it or hate it - elite level newsjacking

@patio11 How can else they be assured your income will cover the rent?

I understand the reasons for it but *goodness* are American landlords nosy on e.g. income, in a way which is giving me reverse culture shock.

An under appreciated benefit of writing down your thoughts is you can convince yourself to hold views you wouldnt otherwise, because they are usually painful to accept and your mind pushes them away when they ascend

@natmiletic It tastes different when it’s mixed

When I was 10, I had this great idea to mix mayo and ketchup to make a new condiment and become a billionaire. My friends laughed at me. Well who’s laughing now?

@CanmoreSerious @neats29 What if the real toughness is feeling the emotion and growing from it

it has come to my attention that some of y’all are terrified of how powerful you’d be if you learned to feel your emotions.

@ianbremmer SF is elite

without london, the rest of the uk would have less gdp per capita than… every state in the united states (and also rhode island)
