Sorry if I missed something philosophical here, but why can't you convert money into time with him? Contracting services that could you could otherwise do yourself (e.g. cooking, cleaning, renos, repairs, etc) and spending that time wi

Surely a balance between sharing and not sharing is optimal. How x and y are weighted depends on the work environment.

Everyone I know in BTC cashed out months/years ago. Makes them feel sick thinking about what they've missed out on recently. But I keep telling them they made a the same decision any rational actor would

Perhaps because the behaviour in question is not actually criminal. Since Ajit is a lawyer, I suspect he knows very well where the lines are drawn.

FYI, this is about putting coders in an open office layout at Apple Park. I vote to update title to something more descriptive and less click-baity.

The old fashion method requires resources ($$$) and considerable skill (i.e. scarce). I believe the point of this exercise is to show the potential of creating realistic fakes on a mass, and distributed, scale. I wonder if official videos f

Agreed. I find Waze has more aggressive rerouting. Maps tends to stick to simple navs at the expensive of a few minutes. Waze will zig-zag me around town. I do find both apps make my phone hot and gulp battery though.

A counter argument for the sake of discussion: students in the classroom can add value to the recorded lectures by engaging the professor with questions that ask to clarify, extend, etc. If there are no students left, the students rely full

Would you pay a subscription for access to the old games? Ad revenue is recurring and is probably more attractive to Sega (vs. a one time purchase fee).

I don't think the parent was implying it is an invalid business strategy; just that it has a set of risks.

Sort of a tangent but I wonder, since HR reps can generally view employee salary info, that leads to higher rates of dissatisfaction. Moreover, I wonder what forces keep HR salaries lower, since they can view the entire "playing field&

The search results felt a lot like Google's. That is, the end user puts in minimal effort and automagically their torrents showed up with high ranking. The site itself was fast and minimal. The torrents had comments where an active com

Most of us would have. I mean, 4->32 is great a return. A lot stories about people who didn't sell were those who had lost and then found their wallets. Pure luck.

I agree with you. And hat tip for the nice analogy. Perhaps they should implement a system analogous to facebook's Reactions (e.g. "disliked", "thought provoking", "easy watching", etc) as a way to differe

Maybe to Google attending such an event legitimizes the use of ad-blocking tech. As far as I've seen, Google has either ignored it or been hostile towards it.

I agree comparing with others is inevitable. I also think you can derive joy and satisfaction in comparing against your self (i.e. your previous work). Admire your improvements, however small, and pat yourself on the back for having persist

I like this approach. But how did you mitigate the risk of a more serious data compromise like identity theft? Did you wait until she understood the dangers before allowing her to use sensitive logins like banking and email?

The unlocked phones I've used can be put into auto mode (strongest signal, I guess?) or preference mode. Carrier locked phones do not switch to other providers unless there's no service. Then it'll switch over to another carr

True. But that segment does care about aesthetics and build quality; which is arguably what they understand most about their Apple machine. They also tend to care about their social projection. As long as Apple remains king in those areas,
