What's the best medium for newsletter delivery? I'm convinced it's not e-mail. Never do I open up my e-mail inbox looking to spend 10-15 minutes thinking about abstract concepts.

I’ve been in Asia for 6 months and still can’t get over the fact that if the price says $60 then it’s $60 always. No GST, no tip.

If you order $100 of bbq to go at the counter, and they ask you for 15%, 18%, 20% or other as a tip, what do you do?

@dadiomov Are you talking about AI? Do you think we can say that yet? Surely not...

Someone said to me this week that babies born today are the first humans who are born knowing they’re not the smartest beings on the planet, and I just can’t stop thinking about that.

@nickfloats I own an iPad and I only use it as a second monitor when travelling. Side car is great but that’s about it.

Who else has never owned an iPad and thinks they’re kinda useless?

I've got @kayvz (beloved ex-Twitter head of product, co-founder of Periscope which he sold to Twitter, hit 100+ million users) coming on the podcast next week.
Any juicy questions you'd want me to ask?

Unsure whether to listen to this advice or not 🤔

@NotionHQ do you have an eta when “Home” and the My Tasks tracker is going live to everyone? I’ve been refreshing Notion daily since it was announced a few weeks ago and still haven’t gotten it yet 🫠

@NotionHQ Is this live yet? I can't find the ability to set up "My Tasks", or any of the widgets referenced

I also asked it to have a basic, beginners level-Chinese conversation with me so I could improve my conversational Mandarin. It was a bit clunky but is helping me pick out tones in a natural conversation a million times better than any language learning app.
English
This was a fun one I discovered today. Currently I’m living in Taiwan with my family of 6 and our Mandarin Chinese is not great.
Using ChatGPT voice I asked ChatGPT to read me a story in beginners Chinese, and then to ask me comprehension questions one at a time.

@realGeorgeHotz @pmarca If healthcare is too cheap, then who will want to become doctors? If investigative journalism doesn’t pay, then who would do the investigating?
Not advocating for expensive healthcare, but in theory you would want to incentivize valuable jobs to attract the best talent, no?

@paulg Probably a sign your product is not good for people when thousands of people are trying to quit it as a New Years Resolution

I wonder if Twitter sees a decrease in usage every January as a result of new year's resolutions.

@sarahtavel @lennysan Just wanted to say this episode was remarkably helpful and timely as we’re thinking about re-focusing our teams going into 2024.
I took about two pages of notes, but the parts around centering the team on a critical core action that drives value were huge. Thanks for the pod!
English
Have been such a fan of @lennysan's for so long, and watched with awe as he built his newsletter and then podcast.
So of course loved geeking out with him on building enduring consumer products and marketplaces. Thank you for the no-VCs exception!!

@petergyang Getting a restaurant in Tokyo as a party of 6 was awful though. Usually had to wait for half the restaurant to clear about before they could seat us.
English
@petergyang I have 4 kids and have been travelling through Asia over the past 3 months. Tokyo especially was tough because of the social pressure to be quiet, but it’s been a good balance of teaching my kids to respect people around them while not letting others’ expectations rule you

@DharamKapila @thekitze The trick is to tie it to an indispensable app. I’m abroad and use it to launch Google Translate’s camera app. Probably click it 3-4x a day

@thekitze I've noticed I use it a lot less than I expected to as well.

I have pressed the iphone 15 pro action button ~5 times since I got it. absolutely useless feature. along with dynamic island

@petergyang Just want to say, I subscribed because of this edition. The 7 ways to improve the first-mile was hugely valuable (and cutting-off the free preview after the first 2 was really smart).
Thanks for the insights @scottbelsky

The talent stack is collapsing in tech.
Magic happens when you learn how to work across functions:
- Be a designer who can code
- Be an engineer who can drive growth
- Be a PM who can write marketing copy
In my latest interview, I had a wide-ranging conversation with @scottbelsky (CPO Adobe) on:
- Why the talent stack is collapsing and what you can do about it
- How to improve the first-mile experience of your product
- The 4P framework for building generative AI products
