I'm pretty sure this was just a stunt to manipulate both stock prices for some short term play.

It’s been a lot of (unintentional) free advertising for eBay and they’re not even doing a good job of embracing that.

Probably more people than ever have thought of starting a shopping search on eBay than ever (outside pandemic shortages).


Good for them. I have a memory of first seeing them in their video True Men Don't Kill Coyotes† around 1984? and thinking "wow these guys are terrible". In hindsight, they were very 90s and pretty ahead of their time.

Google Workspaces are just like Windows 11 on the network, and constantly running Windows update. You never know what changes, installed/uninstalled, or breaks.

I feel like I must be using a different gogole workspace. I've used it every day for the last 10 years and just don't seem to have these issues? Stuff just seems to work for the most part? It's all way more stable and low-admin than any other desktop software I've used at least!

Are you a home user or corporate? Do you maintain a deployment for multiple users?

Both

> they invariably move off of manufacturing and more into services because it's a higher value part of the economic food chain

Folks seem to be trying like heck to minimize the services jobs though with AI, etc. Maybe countries should retain a healthy mix of these jobs.


I think there's an even more salient issue. Manufacturing is the backbone of any economy. When you outsource it, you end up creating a dependency on a nation that is ostensibly less developed. I say ostensibly because what does "less developed" even mean when the other country can not only do fine without you, but now also has the power to destroy your economy if they wanted to?

Maybe, but her posing in North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns was pretty despicable, not brave. Nepo baby PR stunt or not.

The war was despicable. The napalming of children was despicable. The mass rape and murder of children and women at My Lai was despicable.

What she did was not that.


I know this is not the way the industry or regulations work, but I wish electric car platforms let you pick body styles without waiting for a whole model to come out. I'd love an electric Suzuki Jimny body, and could care less about the driving platform.

Sounds like tight coupling issue, not services per se

I like the idea and thanks for sharing, but I do think folks who vibe code or use Claude should take their time using, testing, and improving app before rushing to share. This was pushed/deved like 2 hours ago

And it's been updated, with full releases, many times since.

I like this tool, but I agree that it was rushed and it is still being rushed. I urge the developer to slow down and get it right.


It's so weird seeing comments praising that there's been so many releases in such a short time. That's not a good thing!

This isn't an air traffic control system though.

Shipping early is an entirely valid dev strategy.


Just because it got pushed 2h ago it doesn't mean they didn't test it on their end.

I did indeed test it. Had the idea, and wanted to get it going.

LinkedIn without the news/post feed would be fine

There’s an extension called News Feed Eradicator that does that for you.

Wonder if it’s on their list of extensions to spy on!

We should be good if the Eradicator extension eradicates the script that scans for extensions.

i just don't open the main page with the feed. i practically don't notice it's there. i have the messages view open, and i check notifications. i also don't follow anyone (except my contacts)

And the useless notifications

Having a notification that just shows me an ad for "LinkedIn premium" should be a crime.
