I’ve used @airbnb and @airbnbhelp as a guest quite a few times and was generally happy.

I do some light hosting on the side, and got to see the other side of it. Today I discovered that Airbnb actively SCAMS HOSTS by pocketing money off refunds.

A Netflix user will browse the app for 90 seconds and leave if they find nothing.

Thumbnail artwork is actually NFLX’s most effective lever to influence a viewer’s choice. A user will look at one for only 1.8 seconds, so NFLX spends huge to optimize them.

Can’t setup washer/dryer bought in Europe because my iPhone’s region is US and the @hoover_uk hOn app is not available in the US App Store. If that’s not @internetofshit, not sure what is.

Facebook employees can’t enter the headquarters because their badges don’t work, and those already inside can’t enter various rooms because access is linked through the IoT (Internet of Things) and so goes through the same DNS routes that no longer exist:

“facebook is down” is one thing but “facebook is down and they can’t fix it because they locked themselves out of the house and they can’t talk to each other because facebook is down” is funnier than any joke you could write

While we’re at it: if you don’t have a Web site of your own and you’ve been blogging and creating content on third-party platforms, now might be a good time to reconsider creating one and owning your own little corner of the internet. 🔑

Getting customers is great. Getting customers to stick around a long time is even better.

I gotta imagine storing data for your customers is one of the stickiest churn-bustin’ things you can do. And putting a permissions layer on top of it, even moreso.

Just going to throw it out there that good security design requires building systems that resist compromise even by entities who design and run the system.

If your “security” relies on pinky-swears and governments not abusing their power then…you don’t have security.

Can we just own our devices from the metal to the software as well instead of slowly replacing everything to be a thin client for a cloud service that we don’t get ownership of either

Why are users hated so much? We are much the reason for their so called “incompetence”.

Hey, with some friends we decided to do a little telephone art game together 😳

We made two teams and started from one design, each artist had to make the character evolve (stronger and stronger). But we could only see the design of the artist before us.

Here’s my team😎
