I feel like this actually might perform well in an ad, certainly gets attention??

I agree with his point in theory, but I'm starting to wonder if this stuff actually hurts results when EVERY business seems to do it now I was looking up reviews of Aulani, the Disney resort in Hawaii. Their kids club only lets you book your kid in for 90 minutes - that's not even long enough to get to the spa and back for a hour long massage. It's the absolute minimum they can do and still say that have a kids club, while packing in as many kids as possible So does designing everything around max profit margin actually hurt business? My experiences as a customer tell me otherwise unfortunately
I just watched a 130-year-old brand kill itself over afternoon tea. Here’s the story… It’s called The Savoy. (If you know London, you know The Savoy). My wife and stayed there a few years ago and had afternoon tea at least 3 times during out stay. (I know…lots of carbs. But it was amazing.) Great tea. Great food. Great service. The kind of place that makes you feel like you've stepped into another era. We wanted to recreate the experience with our kids. But when we walked in, something felt off…

Why does every "lifemaxxxing" post on my timeline get up at 5am? i truly believe y'all are not getting enough sleep. In bed by 9:30 so you're actually asleep by 10:30, get up at 7:30 to hit your 9 hours. This is the way.

please make it stop with these awful impossible to search for startup names and "townies" already has a very clear meaning, just make up a new word!!
I got married on Saturday. We launch Town today, four days later. The only reason I survived: Littlebear, my Townie. It ran the wedding vendor chaos - florist, tent, caterer, valet - kept me on top of work, and even coordinated logistics directly with my now-husband's assistant. Two AIs talking so the two of us didn't have to. Building the thing by day, surviving on it by night. Most rewarding week of my life. Try Town. You won't regret it. town.com/townie/zn7k6w6cv832…

My hypothesis is that the ease of building software will bring a huge renewed importance on brand and trust, which will mean investing more in marketing and advertising to build recognition Here's a cold email I just got - they say their product is 10% of the cost of activecampaign Now this pitch would have never gotten me interested anyway because we rely hugely on activecampaign. I'd have to be convinced that the new product is MORE reliable than activecampaign But now I have to question if every new software tool is just complete AI slop that doesn't work

being able to make yourself healthy food is probably THE fundamental life skill yet so few people know how to do themselves/teach it to their kids
If you have teenagers, have them meal prep. My oldest just jumped on the grill with marinated chicken, took her 10 min threw it into cheap glass prep containers we bought her, added some rice and frozen broccoli and now she has lunch for the week. It may be summer but she goes off into the world in a year and she can already meal plan based on groceries we already have, makes a shopping list of miscellaneous or weekly items she needs and then meal preps within an hour. Set your kids up for success.

Most of the time, your landing page tests will show no difference. And this will take months to learn. So yes, I roll my eyes that you have an "AI agent that runs conversion testing 24/7"

Kids love stop watches! Get them a Casio watch with a stop watch and alarm
Instead of an iPhone my youngest kid has a stopwatch. Takes it everywhere and records how long everything takes in a little notepad. You can just say “No” to the iPhone.

I saw a japanese commercial for Gemini where they pronounce it Ji-mee-nee and I now it's permanently stamped in my brain that way

Just fyi it is very very easy to not be surrounded by Americans in Japan. We've been traveling around Kyushu and have been to maybe two spots where there are any westerners at all. Also this is not necessarily a great thing. I just spend my life squinting at Google translate.

Polsia raised $30M for "AI that runs your company." We did the diligence — on their own data: - Fake ARR (real ≈ $0) - Fake customers (94% dead) - A human-graded Claude wrapper, not autonomous - A god-mode kill-switch on every company you build 🧵👇

A claude code workflow I'm really liking is strategy in one thread, data analysis in another So I'm chatting through my strategic ideas, and claude will ask for the data needed to back up these ideas. I have that running in another thread and feed the answers back to the strategy thread

200 rsvps already! charlie literally gets more people to a pub meetup than some entire tech conferences ive been to
Venue announcement: Pubmaxxing is it at Strongrooms in Shoreditch next Wednesday. We reserved a decadent area at the back of the garden - perfect for cheeky pints, dastardly plots, and unrelenting London optimism. After pulling some strings we can confirm it's gonna be 25 degrees and SUNNY that evening. 🌞 Bring your suncream & Oyster card. 200 RSVPs already, so we need to lock it off for now. If you can't make it now, please update that you're not going on Luma, to make way for others. See you there! #londonmaxxing

This is not as rare as people think - I've now rented out three houses that I formerly owned, every single one with the rent less than the mortgage payment. I bought each house to live in, so the rental price vs mortgage wasn't a consideration. For various reasons I ended up renting each one for a while before I sold it. And to be clear I wasn't trying to be generous or anything, the current market rents were just below the mortgage.
Excellent question. How can you rent a house/apartment for less than HALF of what it would cost to own? Who can identify why this might be possible? (This is common in VHCOL places like Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Manhattan)
