@elian_mcc @verge I imagine you'll also be able to activate the feature discreetly using your app

@meia_alsup whispr flow is very, very good local speech-to-text and I'm using it 85% of the time at my machine

YouTube's logged-out homepage is now just a search bar—no thumbnails or browsing! Am I part of an A/B test or does data show that pushing a search leads to longer/stickier sessions via personalization?🤔 #youtube #engagement #ux

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@HServillon @sandboxers I was there too, and equally moved by it <3 It's a shame we didn't get a chance to meet, hope to change that sometime in the future :)

At Android we did an extensive internal beta to manage false-positives associated with our physical safety features, and only launched after we exceeded our goals --"Ms. Dummer's team “very rarely” received false 911 calls from Android phones" https://t.co/Zo4lk5glYM

@BrookeJenkinsSF It's shameful that fentanyl is being sold all over the TL (in some cases by young teens, see my prev tweet), causing mass deaths (higher than COVID!), and you have the audacity to be shaming others. Go out and do sting operations and put these criminals away. Clean up SF!

@Lillie__Sun I loved your interview on @iamdulma's podcast! I wanted to if you could provide tips on how to source emails for pre-launch waitlists when you're starting cold. Seems like a great technique when you've built a following, but how does one best begin?

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@iamdulma Yes and this applies to many D2C brands! I want to support valued-aligned businesses, but practicing radical pricing transparency and telling me you're marking things up 3x and still expect me to buy when there are lower-price dupes available? Backfiring with this psychographic

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@iamdulma As a post-Soviet first-gen immigrant myself, I see you and feel this. We've been parentified from such a young age that we don't know any different - this has been our MO for decades

@DezFleming And $0 on your local Buy Nothing Facebook group, which creates a gift economy among neighbors. Useful for decreasing consumerism across the board, and especially useful for kids clothes/toys which are used for such a short timescale

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@brookporter @DezFleming @trove Yes, this! Additionally, the Buy Nothing project facilitates a gift economy among neighbors - especially useful for kids clothes and toys which are used for such a short time

@merci I watch videos to prepare. It's reassuring to know what'll be happening, as presumably I'm under anesthesia and won't get the narration during the procedure. There's a reason healthcare providers do this, it makes the patient feel that they have more agency and calms nerves

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@schlaf I'm also a month in thanks to the support of a peer community of fellow strivers in Whatsapp. Having people working toward the same goal to comiserate/share hacks/celebrate with has been a game-changer

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@michelleefang Would love to come hang, thanks for organizing!

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@BrookeJenkinsSF There's surveillance video evidence all over YT of dealers dealing Fentanyl in the TL, and you're prioritizing arresting a man who sprayed someone with water?! Your short-sightedness is directly impacting SF's desirability and consequently economic viability

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

Representative samples may be overrated.

A replication of 27 survey experiments (n = 101,745) finds that convenience samples overwhelmingly produce similar findings to representative samples. https://t.co/liPoUk0xtj

In 0 of 393 analyses were the effects in opposite directions.

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@iamdulma Congrats on reaching 100k Dulma! I'm a big fan of your podcast. I wonder what, if any (podcasting?) software you use to record interviews with guests? Considering https://t.co/YuEsrliEw2 for my upcoming foray into podcasting

[Julia Pfeiffenberger @julia_pfeif]

@BrookeJenkins The footage on this account is heartbreaking, including children selling rocks in the TL. It's your moral imperative to use this video as evidence and act instead of looking the other way and enabling. Intervention is the best harm reduction https://t.co/dZqnIUqAS3
