I had something like this happen to you me once, though not at Apple. I was quite young in my career and ended up on an elevator with the CEO. I got super nervous and just started running my mouth about something I perceived as a problem wi

Congratulations! Who knows what the world will look like when your kids are in middle school / high school, but I would recommend strongly resisting social media / phones before they are in high school. This can be tricky if all t

Too bad that when it comes to reading for pleasure, "all signs show a slump"... https://www.arts.gov/stories/blog/2024/federal-data-reading-... Though I agree with you that a larger reading screen w

Yes, parents are definitely part of the problem here. I am a former teacher and my wife is an active teacher so we've seen this first hand. Though not entirely to blame, parenting is certainly a part of the cell phone addiction problem

I agree. It's similar to learning multiplication tables. We can all agree that math is more than endless hours of drill and kill, but there are certain skills where rote memorization is beneficial. When doing AP calculus, for example,

Thanks, I'll take a look. I know someone who really struggles with insomnia. Generally speaking they wake up every night for an hour or two of tossing and turning. Based on your website, it sounds like this device aims to improve exist

Where do I find any of the papers associated with these devices? Have you created a page for interested parties to dig into the research behind these devices?

I'm going to respectfully disagree with the Apple Watch being labeled "dorky". I think they look pretty nice - and I don't own one. I wear a Timex Ironman.

I would absolutely LOVE to see those design docs. I've been playing Zork, Planetfall, Deadline, etc off and on since I was in elementary school. The only Infocom game I've ever successfully solved is Enchanter. My favorite games b

That's a good question. I wonder if part of the charm of the Infocom games was the limited vocabulary. Sometimes it was frustrating, but other times just trying to figure out the correct way to communicate with the game was part of the

Fair. And yes, CEOs certainly find their schedules full of what you mentioned.

It's hard for me not to believe every tech leader in this room is thinking, "This guy is a total idiot. I can't believe I have to sit here and kiss his ass. What a total waste of my time. But a CEO has to do what a CEO has to

Yes, being able to choose a movie you (and only you) want to watch is a definite win.

And, of course, CNN only links to their own articles. Why bother linking to the actual report? The rise in sites that only link to themselves 99% of the time really frustrates me.

I flew from Detroit to Seattle last night. I used that time to read 170 pages of Crazy for the Storm by Norman Ollestad (easy, entertaining read). Though I obviously didn't walk the entire plane, looking around from my seat / when

That's one way. The approach I take is more of a "Hey, AI, here is what I'm trying to accomplish and here is the approach I plan to take. What do you think of this approach? Does it support my broader goals? Etc." But, m

For me, AI is just a tool. I'm not a high-level developer, but when I'm coding out a personal project and I'm stuck. I present my ideas to AI and ask it for feedback. Then, I take that feedback and move forward. What I do NOT

As a former teacher / coach this is definitely the approach I took to build strong relationships with kids. Too often such relationships are all about "I'm the infallible leader...you are the flawed pupils" and that does

But still under pressure in the short-term, no? As companies lean into AI as a means of efficiency / competitive advantage / cost savings, jobs will be eliminated / reduced while companies find their direction. The potential

Competing against National Lampoon's European Vacation, a re-release of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and Back to the Future? Ouch...that's tough sledding.

Has anyone here ever sandbagged their resume on purpose? Is that something people do? Try to present oneself as just right for an entry level marketing manager role when, in reality, one has already been at the Director / VP level? Sor

Increasingly I can't get into new music. For a while, I couldn't understand why as I've been a rabid musician / music lover my entire life. Even music I thought was cool, I couldn't really get into. I always preferr
