@jonrussell @asiatechreview Yeah, maybe that's it. But the UI makes even discount codes annoying to use, and they usually come with tons of weird restrictions which make them hard to use. It all just seems so hostile to the user.

Just got back to Singapore. Going through Changi is always a delight but checking my email on the way home, I'm faced with some bad news. @AmazonSG is closing its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service.

@jonrussell @asiatechreview Mostly it just saddens me when better UX doesn't win. Or perhaps there is something about people's UX preferences I don't understand. 🤷‍♂️

So fun to join @inchchua on stage last night after her performance of Myles – Soulmate in a box. Her story raises important questions about the not-so-distant future. It's a timely, relevant and entertaining musical about artificial intimacy. srt.com.sg/show/myles/

Day-to-day quality of life noticeably improved in Singapore when Amazon launched. It's a shame that they're scaling back.

Singapore’s obsession with AI is hitting a new peak. 🇸🇬 🤖 Today, 4 of the top 5 most downloaded apps in SG are AI chatbots. Both the tech migrants and the aunties in hawkers are doing it. And what’s with this vpn at number 4.

Singapore's entire economic engine is built on high-speed cognitive output. But the skills that made us elite in 2020 are exactly what make us vulnerable in 2026. We've optimized for a world that AI just automated. We are possibly the country with the highest tech and finance concentration workforce - PMET at 64% according to Ministry of Manpower

SF, we need to talk. I know y’all love to hit RSVP on stuff and then not show up. I get it. So here’s the thing: I’m gonna just raise the limit to 400. The first 200 can get in. After that, be extremely prepared to bribe your way into the funeral partiful.com/e/IMqMR4Eyvkt6…

Why do some developers (especially at banks and similar) turn off paste in password fields? What are they trying to achieve? If anything, it will make people choose worse passwords because they can't be bothered to manually type good ones.

Story time: Me and my wife enjoy a small luxury, fresh blueberries on our cereal in the morning, which I buy at ≈ $2.50 a pint every single week excepting a couple weeks a year when the prices are higher, or the 2 months I pick them from my own bushes. Blueberries have a country of origin stamp requirement. Every year, I watch as my blueberry source marches from Chile and Argentina up through Central America, through the States and into Canada, only to repeat. All for a consistent 2.50 a pint, week after week, year after year. The "food system" makes this not only possible, but profitable to all involved, just so I can live like a king and have fresh fruit on my Cheerios. The modern world is amazing and we don't appreciate the bounty that we have at our fingertips nearly enough.

That fry represents one, maybe 2 shelf stable, long storage, Idaho potatoes grown in a single field by a single farmer, processed and flash frozen for indefinite storage until needed, fried on demand as needed That fruit cup is the result of 7 different fruit suppliers, harvested and shipped fresh from global supplies in a matter of hours to a day, hand cut and assembled and served immediately before browning and decay sets in. The fact you can do that for the cost of 15 minutes of labor or less is a f---ing miracle.
