Dropshipping is a good way to source products without much investment.

Amazon’s cloud computing division, an outgrowth of its marketplace infrastructure, accounts for over 60% of gross profit. Similarly, fees to access Shopify’s core SaaS platform — called “Subscription solutions” — accounted for less than half of gross profit in Q1 2024. Shopify’s “Merchant solutions” — almost entirely Shopify Payments, its credit card processing service — produced roughly 70% of revenue in Q1 and 56% of gross profit. Total revenue for Q1 — Subscription solutions plus Merchant…

Lukas Tanasiuk once paid a firm to redesign his Shopify site, a seller of electric scooters. The result was slow page loads and his efforts to improve them. What he found, he says, was a lot of false claims. “I discovered corruption among folks who say they are page-speed optimizers,” he told me.

He and I recently discussed his journey from merchant to agency owner, slow Shopify sites, and more. The entire audio of our conversation is embedded below. The transcript is…

Figma CEO Dylan Field announced that his company would temporarily disable its new AI features. The decision comes after allegations that the tool was reproducing designs strikingly similar to Apple’s Weather app, raising concerns about whether Figma’s training data contains copyrighted content. If Figma’s tools contain copyright material, then so will its outputs.

For the first experiment, they hired 123 US-based laypeople (i.e. not professional comedians) on Amazon Mechanical Turk. The participants were asked to complete 3…
