For me, it's all about location. I rent an Airbnb/Vrbo for a week or two every summer so I can be right by a lake. But I'd choose a hotel every time for normal travel. Airbnb/Vrbo, for me, is when the house and immediate location is the destination.
I tend to agree, even though the line can be blurry. I was more anti this kind of stuff until I used Google Analytics for the first time and saw how you could fiddle with just a few things on a page and decrease bounce rate or increase how long people stayed on page (reading the article, one hopes). I always assumed it'd involve more quality compromise or something but it's often just changing a headline and showing more before the fold. Seems like it benefits everyone to enable those kinds of iterations.
I haven't used these and would use Google Analytics if it were indeed just too much better than everything else out there. But if another service gives me everything Google Analytics provides and more, why continue using Google Analytics?
I wouldn't know though since I've never tried using these. I just know about them.
There is also Wide Angle Analytics, Simple Analytics, and few other options.
As you said. There is little reason to expose yourself to an extra risk.
From CNIls ruling (not a quote, but a summary):
> The CNIL ordered each website operator to comply with the GDPR—for example, by not using Google Analytics or “using a tool that does not involve a transfer outside the EU”.
Do you use a reader app like Readwise Reader or Pocket? I have ADHD and they help a ton, both because saving the article strips the ads and because I can return to them later when I inevitably get distracted.
Yup, this is me too. I use Notion every day so I'm a fan in that sense but I'm also on the free personal plan so I guess I'm not a customer. But I love it for second brain purposes (especially with Readwise) + being the homebase for all of my text.
Yup. I think the trick is collective rights management. From what I understand, creators form an org that licenses content out en masse and pays creators back from pooled licensing fees (which is what the music industry did when the radio first came out). Seems like a nice compromise where creators get paid and AI companies don't have to ask for individual licenses one by one.
This is honestly a great idea. I feel like there are a bunch of great use cases out there that are too technical to implement for an SMB but are too low value / hard to scale for a VC backed business to take on and offer as a service.
These are the kinds of things I can see taking off, for better or worse. I know Adobe's product is worse than Midjourney's, for example, but once the hype meets reality, companies are going to want to be safe when they start using AI formally.
“ The short version is pretty simple: I worked very hard for six years, accomplished a lot, and company has matured to point where it needs ~different type of work... I am writing bitsaboutmoney.com biweekly at the moment and doing a few projects for next few months to clear my head, explore some AI, and pay the bills, and then will likely figure out next big adventure.“
