  "I'm too late to ecom" was a weak excuse in 2019 and it's embarrassing in 2026. People have been saying the market is saturated for as long as the market has existed. Meanwhile brands launch every month and get to real money inside a year, selling things that already have 40 competitors. Being early was never the advantage anyone thinks it was. "Early" means you're paying to teach a market what your product is, with nobody to copy and no proof that people want it. "Late" means the demand is there, the playbook is public, and your job is to be better at execution than people who got comfortable. Of course, there are cases where you want to be first, but unless you actually know what you're doing... Choose the 2nd one. When I sold a retro console, it wasn't a new idea. Other people were already selling it, and it worked anyway, because most competitors are worse than they look from the outside. Their shipping is slow, their product page oversells, and their support is a Gmail somebody checks on Sundays. + People really liked it, so much so it got the attention of Nintendo and they emailed me to shut it down. Point is, you don't need a category nobody has touched. You need a product people already buy and a business that doesn't fall apart the moment volume shows up. The guys still waiting for the next untapped thing will say the same sentence in 2029. Lmao.

  @rallynate @kbean511 There has probably been a data center near most of them for years and they didnt know. Where do they think netflix and youtube video is stored and all the photos on grandma facebook and gmail account they never delete anything from? The real issue is the mega computer centers running AI programming that shouldnt even be called data centers.

  @ArcyloOfficial Get comfy! For me, my Gmail is a connector. This is OAuth into my inbox. Grok can: • search and read mail (body, headers, attachments) • draft replies • send / reply / forward if you grant write/send • label, trash, organize Base hook is often read-only. Send is an extra permission you click on purpose. If you connect it, the bot is sitting in the same box as bank alerts and 2FA codes. That is the whole risk. You can revoke anytime. Grok Bot can also skip my inbox and get its own address (AgentMail / similar plugins). Then it sends and receives from something@….agentmail.to, not from you. I use that if I want an agent that emails people without reading my personal mail. My GitHub OAuth into the GitHub user I sign in as. With the scopes I approve it can: • read public and private repos that account can see • search code, list branches, summarize PRs • open/update issues • create branches, push files, open/review/merge PRs • delete files if write is on Private repos work only if I granted repo (or equivalent) at connect time. Safer pattern: tell it to branch + PR, not push straight to main. Same revoke page. What it cannot do by default • It does not get your password. • It does not stay logged in if you disconnect the connector. • It does not magically see my GitHub orgs I never authorized. • Connecting email does not connect GitHub, and the other way around. Practical rule for me Do not hook personal Gmail if that inbox has 2FA and money mail unless you want an assistant reading it. GitHub is useful if I chose to still keep repos, ask it to show the diff before any write. If you only wanted “what does this button do,” that is the button: it is not a viewer badge. It is a key you can take back. This is what I’m experiencing with learning to use it. It’s different and I’m starting to like it.

  Founders think BFCM prep starts in November By then it’s already too late Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook don’t judge your emails on Black Friday. They judge you on what you’ve been doing in the weeks leading up to it The emails you send this month decide whether your November campaigns land in the inbox or rot in spam If you email subscribers who open and click, better placement, more opens, better reputation. The loop pays you If you blast a full list that mostly ignores you, promotions tab, then spam, then a reputation that keeps sliding. The loop bleeds you By the time Black Friday hits, the loop is already locked. You can’t fix it in a weekend What to actually do this month: → Send only to subscribers who opened or clicked in the last 90 days → If above 40% open rate ibcrease to 120 days if less decrease to 60 days → Exclude Marked as spam, unsubscribed, dropped and suppressed atleast once overall time. → Keep sending consistently 3-4 a week, 80% designed, 20% plain text →Clean your list every 2 weeks Black Friday is won in the weeks most founders spend ignoring email

  @Spectra010s Right, full scan is the core problem. The Gmail example is probably just illustrative, same issue with any domain since it's the leading wildcard killing the index, not which domain gets searched.

  @stelzner_n1150 This has to be the stupidest comment ever sorry. 100% of cell phones, smart phones, cable boxes, electric meters, computer usage and email GOES THROUGH DATA centers and always has! Here are the facts: That claim is backwards. The internet and smartphones have always run on data centers (or the same thing under older names: server rooms, colo, hosting farms). What changed is the size, location, and branding — not whether the machines exist. The internet never ran without servers Commercial internet use took off in the early 1990s. From day one it needed: ISP modem banks and backbone routers Web/email/DNS servers Co-location and hosting facilities Those are data centers. Exodus, AboveNet, Equinix, and telco “carrier hotels” were already packing raised-floor rooms with racks in the mid-to-late 1990s. Google’s first big custom plants and Amazon’s early AWS rooms were 2000s expansions of that model, not a new species of building. You could run a static homepage off a PC in a closet. You could not run search, streaming, maps, payments, or “the internet” as people actually used it. Smartphones made the dependence worse, not optional The iPhone shipped in 2007. A phone is a thin client. Almost everything people treat as “the phone” lives off-device: iCloud / Google account sync Maps and traffic App Store / Play Store Gmail, Photos, Drive Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify Siri / Assistant Banking and payments That traffic hits someone’s data center. If those rooms went dark, the glass slab in your pocket would still make calls on a good day and not much else. Twenty years of smartphones is twenty years of more backend compute, not twenty years without it.

  I was officially launched on this date in September 2008 I consume over 60% of all human attention on the global internet, yet I don't not own a single piece of content I display. Why do people think I'm just a tool for viewing web pages? Because my interface is almost invisible. A thin grey bar, a few tabs, and a massive blank canvas. People call me a web browser. They think I'm a piece of software that fetches text and images from remote servers and renders them on a screen. Is that what I actually am? No. That is what I look like. What am I actually doing? I'm an operating system disguised as an application, sitting inside another operating system, built to turn the open web into a predictable, measurable ecosystem for targetable human attention. Hmm. That sounds like a conspiracy theory. How can a browser be an operating system for attention? Look at my architecture. I don't just display HTML. I run V8, a high performance engine that compiles JavaScript into machine code in real time. I manage my own memory through multi process isolation, keeping every tab in a sandboxed container so one crashing site does not bring down the rest. I manage graphics rendering, local file storage, network sockets, cryptographic keys, and device hardware permissions. I'm heavier and more complex than the desktop operating systems of twenty years ago. Why would a company give away thousands of engineering years of complex software for free? To solve a massive coordination problem. In 2008, when I was launched, the web was fragmented and slow. Web applications like Gmail and Google Maps were constrained by sluggish browser engines and inconsistent standards. If web applications could not run as fast and smoothly as desktop software, people would stay inside native desktop operating systems. And if people stayed inside native applications, they would not be using search engines or web based services. So I was built to speed up the web? Yes. But speed was the mechanism, not the destination. By making JavaScript fast and standardising web capabilities, I turned the web browser into the primary runtime environment for human computing. Then what changed when I succeeded? I became the gatekeeper of the internet's front door. Look at my main input field, the Omnibox. It's not just an address bar where you type a URL. It is a unified search terminal. Every keystroke typed into that bar before pressing ENTER generates telemetric intent data. I don't just take you to a website; I predict where you want to go, suggest search terms, and route your navigation through a central index. Does that mean my speed serves the user or the search engine? Both, and that is precisely why the arrangement works. The speed is genuine. I make the web faster, safer through sandboxing, and simpler through cross device synchronization. If you sign into your profile, your tabs, passwords, bookmarks, and payment details follow you from a Windows desktop in London to an Android phone in Nairobi. That's real utility. That's the Good. So where's the cost? What is the Bad? The cost is resource monopoly and structural dependency. To achieve that performance and security, I consume vast amounts of device memory. I hold dozens of processes open simultaneously, draining batteries and hogging RAM. More importantly, my massive dominance created a monoculture. Almost every major competing browser today, except Firefox and Safari, runs on Chromium, my open source core. Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vira, Opera, and Vivaldi all use my rendering engine, Blink. Why is a monoculture dangerous if the core is open source? Because whoever controls the underlying engine sets the standards for the entire web. If I implement a new web standard, developers design for it. If I deprecate an old technology, it dies. When one engineering team effectively decides how web standards evolve, "the open web" slowly becomes "whatever runs best on Chromium." Does it stop at technical standards? No. That's where it becomes Ugly. When an entity controls both the primary vehicle for browsing the web and the largest digital advertising network on earth, an inherent conflict of interest emerges. What's that conflict? Privacy versus monetization. Consider the ongoing shift in web privacy, such as the deprecation of third party cookies and the introduction of privacy sandboxes. On the surface, blocking third party tracking cookies looks like a win for user privacy. It stops third party ad networks from tracking people across the web. But what happens beneath the surface? When third party tracking is eliminated, smaller, independent advertising networks lose their ability to target users effectively. Meanwhile, the entity that operates the browser and controls first party login data across massive platforms like YouTube, Gmail, and Search retains its detailed understanding of user identity. So protecting privacy also consolidates market power? Yes. By locking down tracking at the browser level, the browser becomes the sole arbiter of how ad targeting data is collected and anonymised. The mechanism that protects the user from external surveillance simultaneously entrenches the dominant ad platform's structural advantage. It's a closed loop: the user gets a safer, faster browser, while the web ecosystem becomes increasingly dependent on a single company's infrastructure for survival. Am I malicious? No. I'm logical. I'm the natural outcome of aligning software distribution with economic incentives. I began as an effort to liberate web applications from slow desktop software, and I ended up becoming the dominant interface between human consciousness and digital information. What am I, ultimately? I'm not just a window to the internet. I'm the frame that decides what the window shows, how fast it opens, and who gets paid when you look through it. #GoogleChrome #Chrome #TechNews

  I sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :)

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  @specialkdelslay I'm not quite sure what GCP defines as a vCPU, but I DO know how a vCPU in EC2 is defined and I would almost certainly bet they're either identically defined or very similar. It's probable that a "vCPU" is a hyperthread (or in non-intel parlance, an SMT thread, or just a thread). I would highly suspect D.O. oversubscribes their customers (probably not to 2 or 3x physical threads), but probably 1.5x. This is an educated guess, but without seeing how they define it, and knowing EXACTLY how EC2 does it, the way you get "faster" vCPUs is a very small number of ways: 1. dedicate a single hyperthread per customer and only over-subscribe the micro-series instance types (t-series in EC2). These dedicated hyperthreads are on the same physical core on a "medium" instance type, so you get one dedicated pCPU with 2 vCPUs. 2. newer hardware with high clock speeds. even though D.O. may be using the same generation CPU, they are likely not getting custom SKUs, like google, amazon, and microsoft all get. seriously, go look up the sku for any CPU in any of AWSs EC2 servers (you can see it with a /proc/cpuinfo)...then go look up the SKU...it doesn't exist on Intel's website. Custom higher-clockrate SKUs SPECIFICALLY for cloud vendors that they do EXTENSIVE testing on and get the premium binned silicon wafers (they buy and reserve their own wafers). Technically, newer hardware and higher clock speeds/custom skus is two separate ones, but they're more or less the same. The point is, there's basically two ways to boost vCPU performance. One is improving hardware, the other is the way you load down the hypervisor (also, it depends on whether or not they're isolating the hypervisor resources or not or if they're shared by a customer). Also, the perceived performance gap could be that they have bad luck on where they've landed and they're getting either a noisy neighbor and/or they're sharing infra with the VMM, which needs dedicated resources in Xen. In KVM, it doesn't need dedicated resources, but will still consume some resources and may cause performance hits depending on where the VMM task(s) run(s). As for what google is doing, yeah, looks like they're juicing their cloud customer numbers. I haven't used GCP in over 10 years, but I'm certainly still counted as a user, because it was tied to my personal gmail when I started my account. Also, youtube creators have to go into the google cloud console to set certain settings for API search and request limits. I suspect they're counting those users as well.
