Year: 2017

Just posted a review of this on Everyday Wear, I love it. Also, it’s currently on a heck of a sale.

Shit.

Selina Wang:

“Anything we would do that would slow down signups, delete accounts, or remove accounts had to go through the growth team,” Miley said. “They were more concerned with growth numbers than fake and compromised accounts.”

I started a new website with my pal Steve — we are setting out to talk about better clothing. If you’ve liked my posts and reviews about clothes, you’ll want to follow the new site.

If you’ve been annoyed about my posts and reviews of clothing, then rejoice, you won’t see them on this site any more.

We’ve put a lot of work into a product directory and a series of guides we will be rolling out over the coming weeks. Do me a favor and check the site out.

This is a must read.

O’Leary:

Over the course of my career, I have shrugged off things that horrify me now. I learned to push through the routine humiliation. As an ambitious woman, I often ran an internal calculation about how much “trouble” I was willing to make. Should I fight about the story I want to do or the unwelcome remark about my legs? Time and time again, I went with the former. If I hadn’t, I don’t know if I would have been as successful. I’m not ashamed about wanting a career, but I can’t look back at some of my actions without wincing.

I never waste my time with non-Matthew Panzarino reviews of iPhones. He did yet another fantastic review.

Fantastic analysis of Apple’s strategy about their iPhone X review units.

Ryan Holiday:

Skilled copywriting and marketing was covering up an undeniable fact: There was basically nothing there.

I made a quip this morning on Micro.blog about doing reviews of how good a job people do at writing a review. The above is what I mean. Quite often you read a fantastically well written review, which doesn’t actually tell you anything.

While not particularly graceful in how I wrote it, this tells you something. Yet I’m not perfect as I wonder if my review of the Filson Briefcase has anything there.

Jannis Hermanns:

The iPad Pro with Apple’s Smart Keyboard in conjunction with a server running ZSH, tmux and neovim makes a fantastic portable development machine that leaves very little to wish for.

Another option if Rucking isn’t your thing.

Nick Bilton:

It’s worth recalling, of course, that it wasn’t the makers of Tylenol who put cyanide in the pills that killed seven innocent people; nevertheless, the company felt a responsibility to come up with a solution to the problem. While Facebook’s engineers may not be posting fake news, the dirt is still on their hands. “The damage done to organizations in crises isn’t the crisis itself— it’s how you handle the crisis,” Scott Galloway, author of the new book The Four: The Hidden D.N.A. of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, told me this week on the latest episode of the Inside the Hive podcast. “There’s only one thing you have to remember: you have to overcorrect. You have to clear every shelf of all Tylenol nationwide. You can’t say this is an isolated incident and it won’t happen again,.”

The problem with Facebook is that it fundamentally believes that it is above the law — above the normal rules of business. That because it is different than what has come before, what has come before does not apply. That’s dangerous thinking.

Sarah Buhr:

So why the apparent confusion in the industry over what, exactly, constitutes sexual harassment? Emerson has a theory or three. “I think often people who defend harassing behavior do so because they have engaged in such behavior themselves. Or they defend individuals accused of this behavior because they believe them to be generally ‘good people.’ Or, as a rule, they just don’t believe women.”

Justin Blanton:

I guess the connection I’m trying to make here is that both evolution and AI seem to converge on the notion of competence without comprehension.

Fantastic explanation of how we build something that we can’t even fathom how to build.

Cyrus Farivar:

However, law experts that Ars contacted largely say that Scoble is mistaken.

Common sense also largely says that Scoble is a moron and wrong.
