I've reached out to some afterwards and offered help (serving as a reference, reviewing resumes, connecting to people, etc.) but in _that_ moment you should say as little as possible give them space to process emotions however they will.

You wouldn't buy from an ecommerce site that doesn't have SSL and HTTPS, in fact your browser may try to slow you down if you even attempt this. Likewise emailing people for business reasons now requires doing the bare minimum of work to inform the various email providers that your messages are legitimate, and at the scale that Gmail operates filtering messages based on crude but generally good rules seems like a good idea for the benefit of their users.

Setting up your email properly is a couple hours worth of work at most by the way, look up sites like MX Tool Box or search for the topic of "email deliverability" and you'll find tutorials tailored to nearly any email provider you may be using.

Good luck

It’s not quite the tangible feel of the ipod you describe but I find a great joy in my library being mine and not having any social or promotional features (« hot albums this week » etc.), i know what is in there and what comes in and goes out. The UI is utilitarian and not trying to drive engagement or generate revenue from me, I love it.

So it's not just dentists... at least my dermatologist is pretty transparent about all the aesthetic treatments that complement their medical services, though they seem to always find a mole that needs a biopsy and every year it turns out benign. I wonder how many times it was necessary, versus how many times it was just an easy money grab because my insurance covers it and it's very minimal of a procedure. I don't have a problem with for-profit healthcare, but fee-for-service is driving the insane cost inflation in the US

It's my bio landing page for career, networking, and speaking engagements, and I host the presentations from my talks on the site as a way to retain audiences

As a non engineer tinkerer I've used a handful of "true" no code platforms (adalo, glide, retool) experimented with a few more (thunkable for one), and investigated a ton (currently contemplating noloco.io for a new side project), and every once in a white I fall prey to Webflow announcing a new version and promising no-code heaven... only to waste considerable time deciphering the offering and realizing it doesn't do a fifth of what I really need.

Airtable, Notion and Coda do the same btw, and like Webflow they're nice enough tools on their own, but I wish they would't use the no-code or low-code moniker so loosely, because it creates a lot of noise to dilute the signal of actual no code tools.

It’s a bit of the best of both worlds, aggregation and app features like a solid tech company, and human magic that feels like local music store rather than top 20 radio stations

I think phone numbers and social profiles are probably the most future proof, as I see a pattern of people moving away from personal email for anything other than spam and shopping related receipts

Between the need for titles to be somewhat catchy and the need for ongoing content, we are really at odds with how knowledge is actually supposed to grow once a discipline is pretty mature, and this just creates noise to slog through.

I’m not sure what solutions exist though, I’m in favor of regulatory action but it’s often just moving the goalposts as there are always loopholes to be found.

I hope this NYT report will trigger some more oversight and maybe blow a few cases open because the trend it highlights is very concerning.
