I do not use it every day, but I’ve found the most difficult to be hands down DocuSign.


Based on your argument — taking it to an absurd extreme — you’d never stay in a job and be perpetually changing.


The Tim Ferriss Show The Portal Stratechery’s podcast (Exponent) Tyler Cowen’s podcast


+1 for conversations with Tyler, no matter your opinions on his politics, he's one of the best interviewers out there.


Thanks, I was unaware of the fact that Stratechery’s maintains a podcast option. Moreover, conversations with Tyler seem a great addition to my list.


It happened to me last week. I was so pissed. Completely unbelievable. Zero notifications to my other email accounts. Hope Yahoo finally goes bankrupt.


Hope "Verizon" goes bankrupt ;)


I have been remote for four years and this solution sounds quite creepy/off-putting. You are unlikely to get any true answers in a group setting.

From my experience, this is best accomplished by connecting in-person on a semi-regular bases.


I am not a developer, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but this comment sounds a bit like old school photographers saying iPhone and Instagram are not for “real photographers.”


Yep. Exactly.

“How one can be a car mechanic without knowing how to blacksmith and forge car parts manually, from metal ore”.


I think that's right. Tangentially related: have been thinking a lot lately how tone often (but not always) implies some kind of distortion in thinking. To a degree where you can _anticipate_, but not necessarily intelligently articulate why some position is incorrect.


I am a developer with a CS degree and think you hit the nail on the head with that observation. There are also plenty of other things developers have to know about now that you didn't have to 20 years ago - security, privacy concerns over data, devops etc.

It's very lazy thinking to resort to a "kids these days" mentality of modern software development.


As a software engineer with CS background, I first wanted to disagree, but have to say that the analogy checks out.


What are the legal implications of doing this based on jurisdiction? There are also ethical considerations. I expect this to be another thing which will be an 'open secret' in the tech/marketing worlds until other people find out about it and will be upset about.


There are no legal implications for doing this based on jurisdiction. As one of the other commenters points out, the cost of a Big Mac varies widely depending on your geography. This is an example of McDonald's adjusting their prices to their local market.

As an aside, it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, disability, age, or gender. This product is not considering in any of that information. It simply considers an IP address and a user agent.


Correlations may be hidden in statistical data. Don't be so sure.


I use email all the time and have never even remotely encountered a point where I would need something like this. Why wouldn't you simply refer to a subject line? And why would someone say "Did you see email E2YKW3" I can't imagine a single person saying that frankly.


I tried the most recent MacBook Pro keyboard over a weekend in September. Absolutely terrible experience, not to mention the Touch Bar. I hope my 2015 MBPro doesn't die on my before Apple fixes this.


I recommend looking into Ramit Sethi's advice on negotiation: https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/guides/ultimate-guide-... (Don't be put off by the same name. Ramit is great.)
