WIRED: "How not to make friends: wear a Friend pendant"

If the idea of a microphone-packed wearable that s always listening to your conversations raises privacy concerns for you, just know that you re not alone. If your experience is anything like ours, wearing the Friend will likely earn you the ire of everyone around you. Curiously, you might even end up being bullied by the chatbot itself.

Ouch. Quite the review!

Finding Your Pride On Product Hunt , a Den of LGBT Makers and Allies

Product Hunt has always felt like a place where underdog founders can try their luck not with VCs, but with a real community of builders. It reminds me of what made the early internet so special: it was a place where fragmented groups could find each other and power up together. For my personal use, as a maker, historically it s been more about supporting my friends' companies when they had launches and now I use it to keep up with the continues rollout of new tools mostly aimed at makers looking to vibe and make faster.

Right now, I feel anxious for America (and the world) feel from political chaos and our economic prospects. Resilience in our community has been a source of strength. LGBT are also natural contrarians to the status quo to such an extent I would say it is even a builder superpower.
