Targeting kids is good. But what about adults?

VISA an MasterCard have Credit Cards. Pix is just a way to transfer money you have in your bank account. In europe we can do that with IBAN. It goes from one account to another. In Argentina we have something similar in all banks. What is unike from VISA and MasteCard, at least untill now, is the Credit part of it.

"AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role."

Terrifying.


Yeah, as a former dev turned into PdM, if you need to do a tour, your are doing the UX wrong.

Porkbum or Gandi or name.com


Gandi's support collapsed a couple years ago. Couldn't even get ahold of anyone with a pulse to help with transfers.


Porkbun has really suspect engineering. Crashing on symbols in passwords for instance.


Never had a problem like you describe.


Gandi has started increasing prices like crazy in the last few years.


> Lee is one of the most competent IT guys I know.

And yet he uses GoDaddy?


This comments reads sarcastic, but it makes a serious point. GoDaddy has an extremely poor reputation. At some point you must accept that choosing companies like that is your own mistake.


the thing is that it makes sense when you are small, and it's one of the hardest and riskiest things to change, so it's a decision that stays with you.

And to be completely honest, it isn't that bad, you get a phone you can call 24/7. Of course mistakes happen and staff can't always help, but it's more like a 99.9% vs 99.99% quality thing when comparing to other providers like AWS or CloudFlare.


Why does using GoDaddy as a registrar instead of one with a better reputation like Porkbun or Namecheap make sense when you're small?


Namecheap looks really bad if someone does some due diligence and the word 'cheap' comes out, it's unproffessional and signals cheapness of materials.

Porkbun I'm not familiar, but it for sure can be a better option, it's just that when people start out they look for a familiar name rather than the marginally best option.

I just said it makes sense, not that it's the best option. It's just fine if you are a small or even medium business.


Ahh, I understood "makes sense" as "is a good idea" rather than "is an understandable mistake".



This is at the very least debatable. The site they took down contained multiple videos of animals being tortured and killed. Not all decisions are simple black and white.


Animals die too in a genocide. I don't understand your point here. Namecheap decided they should proactively police Namecheap customers for this, Namecheap should lose all its business as a result. Let Namecheap decide whether the income from Israel exceeds the income from all Namecheap customers.


Changing registrars is one of the easiest things there is to do. I require any clients I work with to do so.


It's much more difficult for some gTLDS.

Once you have a bunch of international domains, it's not even generally possible to have a single registrar who can support them all.


I never understood the appeal of instagram over Flicker.


It's dumbed down. In today's world, dumb always wins.


Why would you out of nowhere spoil a book like that?


Because the horror of dahl’s adult stories are as pervasive even if knowing the ending. I reread many times and still get the same sense of impending doom barbarically twisting fates in the mind - what if it was true?


Because its ancient and theres no social contract preventing spoilers after 8 weeks.


Yeah sounds like a real winner of a short story at the top of the priority list.


I allway say it: it is the defaults, stupid (paraphrasign).

The Defaults have to be the most sensitive ones.

If you are a supposed super secure app, this should be the default.


He is saving 4 keystrokes out of ~400 by typing LNX instead of Linux.


But holding the shift key makes up for it, so seems like a bad strategy


You are overthinking it. It is neither a strategy nor keystroke saving (although technically with shift its 4 keystrokes as opposed to 5 for Linux and quite a few saved for Windows). I just typed that without thinking probably because it looks better and reads a bit easier (subjectively).
