If a product makes money on engagement metrics (ads, eyeballs, time), they’ll do everything they can do to maximize for that.
The slot machine analogy is apt. There’s research out there on how much time to optimize the dopamine hit and how long to go before you dispense the hit.
The trick is, as a consumer, to set limits and step away. Considering we’re here, best of luck to us all.

There was a core flaw in the whole CPM model. This means the web has to find a different way to fund itself.
Sadly, it will cause a lot of pain, and it’s not clear what will be next.

We shouldn’t go all knee-jerk on this one. It’s a solid first pass at allowing copyright owners to assert control over their own creations and getting paid for their work.

Look up local “Hazardous Waste” and “E-waste” disposal. Some electronics repair shops will take them too.
- Comment on How to get rid of swollen batteries? 4 weeks ago:
Batteries shouldn’t go into garbage because they can and will leak or explode. We have a regular recycling service around here, but they don’t take many kinds of batteries (including lithium ones).
There’s a county “hazardous waste” service that takes things like paint and old fuel for generators. They take some things but not others. There’s also a separate “e-waste” service. Last time I had a few things to drop off, I had to call to find which ones would take a specific type of battery.
I’ve got the same Anker recall. Will be calling around next week to find which place will take them.

When the data centers force widespread blackouts, people will still be able to hand-write their complaints. Should also bring back the wax seal and the signet ring for two-factor authentication.
- Comment on Senator Josh Becker, who represents Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Mountain View, says he opposes a bill allowing multistory apartment buildings near transit stations. 5 weeks ago:
Here’s the California Avenue train station mentioned in that article: maps.app.goo.gl/2eMQc3EPPJiGzaMR8
Look at the Street View, and there is nothing but sparse, two-story buildings right near the station. If they let 5-story buildings be built, that station and the shops nearby would get a lot more use.

It’s seed, using existing RISC IP. They can tape out an early prototype, or even just a simulated design, then use the performance numbers to raise the next round.
If anything, Intel proved that nobody in their right mind should ever go vertical and pay to build a fab again. TSMC in Arizona will happily take the job.

- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 1 month ago:
I watched as our little, barely walking toddler walked away from us in a busy department store. I followed behind, hiding behind racks, to see if he would get scared and turn around. Nope. Did not turn once. Just waddled away. I had to race and grab him from behind once he stepped onto the escalator.
It was then that I really understood the need for those leashes. Had a talk with the wife and we decided against it, but it was close.
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 1 month ago:
Second the pickling idea. Read a similar story that a food bank had a lot of excess fresh material. Thry had set up production through a commercial food processing site, had put labels on them, and were selling them online and at farmer’s markets. The proceeds were going back to the food bank. Zero wastage. They were also making things like sauerkraut, kimchee, and kombucha. Watermelon can also be juiced and the rinds pickled.
I imagine for food safety and liability reasons, you wouldn’t want to do it in someone’s kitchen. Plus, licensing fees. But you have a great story to tell (good health, zero waste, help food bank).
