@bernhardsson @generalcatalyst @Redpoint Amazing work!

@jonrussell @asiatechreview Yeah, maybe that's it. But the UI makes even discount codes annoying to use, and they usually come with tons of weird restrictions which make them hard to use. It all just seems so hostile to the user.

Just got back to Singapore. Going through Changi is always a delight but checking my email on the way home, I'm faced with some bad news. @AmazonSG is closing its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service.

@jonrussell @asiatechreview Mostly it just saddens me when better UX doesn't win. Or perhaps there is something about people's UX preferences I don't understand. 🤷‍♂️

@jonrussell @asiatechreview The struggle is real

So fun to join @inchchua on stage last night after her performance of Myles – Soulmate in a box. Her story raises important questions about the not-so-distant future. It's a timely, relevant and entertaining musical about artificial intimacy. https://t.co/tpC9BZmmUZ

Day-to-day quality of life noticeably improved in Singapore when Amazon launched. It's a shame that they're scaling back.

Don't miss if you're in Singapore

Everyone working in tech and AI in Singapore, and everyone else: come watch SRTs production of Myles — Soulmate in a box. Brilliant @inchchua spent five years building her dream AI boyfriend. Now she shares their story. https://t.co/tpC9BZmmUZ

If we're going to have a gatekeeper, make sure the gates are useful

@cyb3r_17 @Zac_Pundi Why would they be downloading iPhone apps?

There is plenty of room at the bottom

These two things are about the same size

@Bonecondor Partiful needs to show people's show-up rate on their profiles

@CitiSG I'm looking at you

Why do some developers (especially at banks and similar) turn off paste in password fields? What are they trying to achieve? If anything, it will make people choose worse passwords because they can't be bothered to manually type good ones.

@carlrivera No tuna? 👀

Story time:

Me and my wife enjoy a small luxury, fresh blueberries on our cereal in the morning, which I buy at ≈ $2.50 a pint every single week excepting a couple weeks a year when the prices are higher, or the 2 months I pick them from my own bushes.

Blueberries have a country of origin stamp requirement. Every year, I watch as my blueberry source marches from Chile and Argentina up through Central America, through the States and into Canada, only to repeat.

All for a consistent 2.50 a pint, week after week, year after year.

The "food system" makes this not only possible, but profitable to all involved, just so I can live like a king and have fresh fruit on my Cheerios.

The modern world is amazing and we don't appreciate the bounty that we have at our fingertips nearly enough.
