☆ Product managers rule Silicon Valley. Not everyone is happy about it.
  + stars: | 2024-11-20 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Several companies, from Airbnb to Snap, are now reconsidering the utility of product managers entirely, while others claim that the product manager's reign will only expand in the age of AI. Advertisement"The shift in power moved from engineering to product managers," says Hubert Palan, the CEO of Productboard, a company that provides software for product managers. "The product manager is at the center of everything," says Avi Siegel, a former product manager who's working on his own startup, Momentum. Whether their coworkers are happy about it or not, product managers are gaining recognition. "The future really does belong to product managers," says Frank Fusco, a product manager turned CEO of a software company called Silicon Society.

☆ Elon Musk downsized Big Tech. Can he do the same to Big Government?

And to run the new cost-cutting department, Trump tapped the businessman he calls the world's "greatest cutter" — Elon Musk. If you're looking to take a chainsaw to the federal government, Musk seems perfectly suited to the job. When it comes to federal spending, one person's waste is another person's bread and butter. And his massive investments in electric vehicles and social media are dependent on all sorts of federal spending and oversight. Musk has acknowledged that Americans will feel "hardship" as a result of the cuts he wants to see implemented.

Days before the election, Polymarket odds showed Trump had a 60% chance of winning. The electorate took notice: Kalshi and Polymarket soared to the top of Apple's App Store on Tuesday evening. Advertisement"Last night, Kalshi showed how prediction markets can decisively outperform polls and traditional media," Kalshi posted on X. And can the prediction markets ride their momentum now that the election's over? Prediction markets are "going to attract people who want to influence public perception," Broughel says.

☆ The Gen Z Gospel of Wealth: Manifesting on TikTok
  + stars: | 2024-11-07 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Sarah Perl, who goes by the TikTok handle @hothighpriestess, says she has a successful career and relationship because she manifested both. Many of her recent posts focus on manifesting love, and they're particularly aimed at young women who want romantic relationships with men. She's not just saying that to the universe; she's feeding the TikTok algorithm, which likely sends her content to other young women. "I view manifesting almost like the For You page: Where you put your attention is where your life will end up going." For Gen Z, the divide between the divine and the digital can be razor thin.

And earlier this year, the company made further moves to de-emphasize political content on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. Meanwhile, half of the 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed by the Pew Research Center saying they watch political content on TikTok. No one on social media has the answer to what will happen in Tuesday's election. Anxiously reposting or liking election content may feel like the only thing we can do as the clock ticks down. For now, the best way to alleviate that anxiety might be to get off social media until Tuesday passes.

☆ What These Founders Learned From Trying to Take on Elon Musk's Twitter
  + stars: | 2024-10-28 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
About three weeks after Elon Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, #RIPTwitter started trending. As the bird app's outlook grew more bleak, several alternative conversation platforms hatched: Narwhal, Spoutible, Spill, Post, and Cohost among them. I talked to several founders about what they learned trying to compete with Musk, and the state of civil discussion online. "There's a ton of power in whoever controls" a big social media platform, Thompson says. Spill, a Black-owned social platform, has been downloaded more than half a million times.

AdvertisementCheng says he has never worked a corporate job; he's always been a comedian and an online poker player. Jason RoederBut this snark, typically found on X, has seeped into LinkedIn, a much rosier, earnest platform. Roeder quit X and started writing joke posts on LinkedIn about a year ago, he said, after becoming "disillusioned" with what X has become. LinkedIn posts can expose just as much about one person's struggle to find work as they can about another's boasted success. Cheng said the posts had helped him to get comedy gigs, but they've also unlocked new work on the platform itself: as a LinkedIn ghostwriter for executives.

☆ Cheap, Secondhand Androids Are Now Cooler Than Brand-New Apple iPhones

People are more aware of refurbished phones, thanks to ad campaigns and word of mouth. For $249 or 299 euros, customers could buy a refurbished iPhone or Android without knowing the model they'd get. AdvertisementPerhaps the biggest thing blocking people from buying more secondhand phones is the manufacturers themselves. Amy Marty Conrad, a 34-year-old who lives in the Washington, DC, area says she and her husband have each bought refurbished phones.

☆ Where are Gen Z's tech founders?
  + stars: | 2024-10-09 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
So where are Gen Z's tech founders? Gen Z founders and would-be founders are stepping into a vastly different tech world from that of their predecessors — a world where launching a unicorn is far more difficult, and publicly scrutinized, than it was for the garage-band generation of Jobs and Gates. Gen Z is coming of age in an era when the same Big Tech companies are diffuse and dominant. In other words, millennial founders ran so that Gen Z founders could walk. Perhaps we won't see Gen Z founders standing before a crowd and unveiling their latest shiny products anytime soon.

Arbitrage hosts like Anderson take to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram to offer advice and promote paid courses on how to start and build your own short-term-rental empire. A 25-year-old TikToker with the handle @airbbnbmastery101 titled one video "How to quit your job in 2024 and get rich." There's no way to know for sure how popular Airbnb arbitrage is. Related storiesBut Airbnb arbitrage, in theory, isn't illegal; it depends on local laws governing how short-term-rental properties are licensed. DeRose says that he regrets working in short-term-rental arbitrage and that "it's very clearly hurting" the housing market.

One downloaded it, restricted TikTok, and then texted me: "I'm currently scrolling on TikTok and plan to all day. Royce Branning, a cofounder of Clearspace, says the company started testing the friends feature after hearing that users were taking screenshots of their Clearspace screen tracking and sharing it with one another. I'm not sure where my friends spent all their screen time, but being on a phone doesn't inherently ruin your life. Maybe logging in to an app like Clearspace with friends, family, and romantic partners could help people police each other.

☆ Meta's new Ray-Ban glasses are pulling a bait and switch
  + stars: | 2024-09-26 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Now, despite a rocky start three years ago, Meta's smart glasses are doing better than expected. Meta's Ray-Bans have a camera and speaker and are packed with AI. Meta's loftier goal, the Orion glasses , aren't quite there. Yet getting people into the Orion glasses may depend on getting people comfortable with smart glasses generally, and that's where the Ray-Bans could come in. And the Meta Ray-Bans make it even easier to use AI as you move through the world — no hands (and awkward air-pinching ) required.

☆ Even millennials are getting too old to land a tech job
  + stars: | 2024-09-23 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Newly released federal data shows the US tech workforce is younger than the workforce at large and getting younger still. Tech workers under 25 are becoming more common, while the proportion of workers older than 40 shrinks. There's an age-old perception that tech workers should be young so they can move fast and break things. One of the top qualifications to land a tech job, it seems, is to possess a birth certificate dated after 1990. Women make up just 22% of tech workers — the same proportion of jobs they held in 2005.
