Wouldn’t this be a side effect of everyone buying only indexes funds or ETFs?
Me and other millions of people are investing in our pensions every month and buying ETF (S&P500 or global) and indirectly buying Tesla stocks even if we don’t want to.
The system would need a big shock to cause the ETFs to rebalance and reduce the proportion of Tesla stocks that are part of the index.
I tried that, but this completely removes the transparency, and some apps look even worse and harder to visualise as it’s not designed to not have the transparency on iOS 26.
This could be significant improvement if Apple let us choose the transparency percentage.
The point 2 is an important one, I used RSS for years but had to stop using it as I was way too anxious trying to read everything.
I started using again, but I have a few rules: all the feeds only refresh once week; and any news feed (like hackers news) that generates too much content is purged also once a week, so I only have the latest one week articles.
In my mind, my RSS feed for me is like an old school weekly magazine. This solve the FOMO feeling of missing something interesting, but I don’t feel like I need to read something as soon as is published.
The lack of devs that understand the domain knowledge and the codebase will be the main issue.
I would say that the current capabilities of genAI is like a junior dev, sometimes even a mid-level. But one main difference is that a dev is slowly learning and improving and at some point will become a senior dev and also domain specialist.
If there is a codebase created by genAI, then it’s equivalent as if all devs left the company, so no one knows why some piece of code was created in a certain way, if it was part of the business logic or some implementation detail
Minor annoyance, but just a few limitations and restrictions, after all you need a smartphone and internet connection.
So.. when paying in a store, you need to open your banking app in your smartphone, and if you’re in an area with bad cellular connection (inside a few buildings or in a countryside), you need to connect to the store wifi. Only then you can scan the store QR code and make the payment.
So a single payment can easily take a few minutes, as opposed to a contactless card payment which takes a few seconds.
My main issue with pix is the even more reliance on a smartphone for our day to day life.
When people say that Google Search is broken because the internet changed and it’s not google fault, I point them to YouTube search.
With YouTube, Google has full control of the platform and its data, there is no excuse for why the search is so useless.
I bet there is some product owner in Google that did some A/B test and took as “proof” that adding random recommendation in the search results increases engagement, and then got a promotion and a raise because of that.
