Businesses don’t exist without customers. Product Management is an empathy role (empathy for customer AND business needs)
product management isn’t a design role or a technology role—it’s a business role

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

I just re-subscribed to a print newspaper for the first time in years and I cannot fully express how pleasurable it is to sit down with my coffee and read the newspaper. 10/10 no notes would recommend.

App idea. Search for what you want on Amazon, then this app shows you a small mom and pop store near you that has the same thing.

If Canada’s response to Trump’s tariffs is described as “measured” or “reasonable” our government has failed us.
This is a “don’t blink” moment… our natural resources are one place where we have outsized strength - this is the moment we need to punch the bully as hard as possible & not back down.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower

I would say 911 dispatchers provide a valuable service but it would be ok to criticize them if you called them and instead of sending an ambulance they said "Someone should do something about this!" and hung up
