“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses,” is fake. The real quote was “If I had asked horses what they wanted, they would have said faster people.” And it wasn't Henry Ford who said it, but 19th century agricultural engineer Heinrich Ford-Brod from Silesia.

Absolutely that was pre planned. And who was that fucker who asked about the suit and making jokes? What the fuck was that?

I saw some takes like ‘he blew his chances’ - c’mon, let’s be serious for a moment. This was choreographed and well thought through. A very deliberate. Just a theatre. There were no chances to start with.

I'm using using Dropbox to upload some large files after a long time not using Dropbox and the experience is reminding me why I haven't used Dropbox in a real long time

I'm starting to see a lot of posts around #AI failing to generate profits. I think we're seeing a Post-it effect. Hear me out. Back in 1968, at 3M, a gentleman called Spencer Silver set out to create a super glue. But the outcome was one of the weakest glues ever 🙈

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

I’m encouraged by these town halls but I also remember very clearly how this happened in 2017 as well. Instead of responding to the complaints, they stopped doing them. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

I have been talking to my wife about this for the last year. The idea that good things take time and effort is needed. Zed put in the effort and made this great reminder. youtu.be/o2jzKo1RqWU?...

I'm wrapping up #productdesign and #UX work for an insurtech startup client I started working with ~ a year ago. It's so satisfying to see things go live and the business lift off the ground, but it's also sad to start leaving.

I love how people are commenting how all websites look the same now because of Shadcn. It's like we forgot how things were with bootstrap where every site looked exactly the same!

Traveling Italy for the week. When I travel I find a book written by an author from the country we are visiting. Written in 1923, “Confessions of Zeno” is about a neurotic Italian businessman obsessed with his failings to give up smoking.

Something I’ve noticed about working with GenAI. If the feature is replacing something similar on the market it needs to be as fast (or perceived to be as fast). Users don’t care that you’re now harnessing clever AI if it feels too slow. I’ve seen too many teams miss this because they’re excited.

If you work at Meta you work on adware. No matter the project it’s all in support of adware.

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

It's outrageous that the UK secretly ordered Apple to build an encryption backdoor that would let it spy on Americans and won't even confirm it. Now more than ever, we need end-to-end encryption www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

It’s going to be a very weird summer to travel to Europe if you are an American. I’d practice up your Canadian accent. People will have so many questions for you.

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
