Got a little space for new advisory clients. Wanna hang? What I do:
This statement from Google is very carefully worded. They are not denying that they send fewer clicks to websites What Google is saying: * Query volume increasing (ok) * We send a lot of clicks (ok) * Websites have not declined in traffic (remember Google is a website)

This "quick results from the web" is new in AI mode right?
Just amazing writing from @fkpxls fakepixels.substack.com/p/confessions-…
Kinda crazy to me that Discord's only monetization play is a thing called Nitro which.... I legitimately have zero idea what the value prop is? I get a badge or something? How are they a real company?
wow this is art. It's like "The McKinsey Consultant's Guide to Self-Actualization for Men", but unironic. I've not really seen many slides that makes me appreciate the art of the slide as much as this one

Ok hear me out. What if we build a twitter that is link friendly? Not interested in VC scale but might be more interesting than whatever nonsense this website has turned into
This is an appreciation thread for EuterPen, a multimodal music notation system by @Vincent_Cavez et al. It aims to support the non-linear process of exploration during composition. It's the most sensitive and imaginative academic HCI design work I've seen in quite some time!
Libraries and data centers are both cathedrals of knowledge. So where does Pokemon fit in? That's the essential question posed in this week's Little Futures... littlefutures.substack.com/p/lf15-knowled…
