Sometimes I can't find Max in the list because I'm looking for HBO in my mind.

That's the Canadian system, have to renew your rate every 5 years. It's great for the banks. The tighter regulations helped Canada avoid the underwater mortgage fiasco of the US in 2008/2009, but mostly it's just a reall

Is the issue skills shortages, or leadership shortages?

At scale it's easy. If you are working full-time and have your own house maintenance _and_ you are trying to assess tenants, fill out paperwork, fix issues at the rental property, travel to and from rental property, coordinate contract

Like most things, it's nuanced and I made an off the cuff comment. I think there are varying degrees of dignity and respect that all people need to be shown. At the minimum wage/manual job side of things, a lot of cultures have de

I did all the hard, crappy jobs through late teens and early 20s (demolition, roofing, house painting, pottery production, fast food, factory, grocery distribution warehouse). There is so little respect shown for workers in any of these tha

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the UK dendrochronology is widely used for dating wood structures. In England they have a database that can date (some) trees back basically to any time of human existence in England. In

I think it's an objectively "clever" logo but not necessarily objectively "beautiful" one. Does that make sense?

Surprised me that that an article about LEO satellites offering commercial services doesn't include Iridium (which may still even have two networks, the original Motorola satellites and the (Thales) NEXT satellites (that were launched

It's totally possible that there was a ton of bloat. It happens when organizations scale and they're looking for market share instead of profitability. But, as someone who has worked in (bio)tech companies that got purchased, firs

My experience with "smart" driers is maybe less positive than others. Seems they typically only have one sensor in a rotating drum, if they "read" a t-shirt they will stop because it's "dry". But your jean

Isn't Cook going to make something like ~$65m this year? That's half of the Reddits CEO. And Tim Apple (kidding) is a logistics expert who has done an excellent job stewarding Apple. He's fairly impressive. I think Nadella&#x

What I don't understand is the compensation. It is multiples and multiples of anything any similar company pays, albeit complicated by the fact that most similar companies are public and while CEO pay might _only_ be limited to a few m

I bought an Air (M1) at the same time and felt like the air was the better value. For one, the fact that you can't hit a button to volume up/down, but instead have to activate the Touchbar, click the sound icon, try to move the vo

It _used_ to just work. Now each release is full of features no one asked for, and there are more and more issues because of this feature bloat. My M1 MacBook Pro is probably the second worst computer I've ever bought, and might have b

I stopped primarily using Apple for a couple years, until they released OSX and I could run Apache, PERL and MySQL on my local machine instead of needed an internet connection to ssh to a linux host. Wifi not really being a thing in public

I remember (as a mac owner from '92 on) getting a catalog in the early 90's of Apple apparel. I'm not dreaming right? A quick search definitely brings up an 87 catalog and clothes available from the website in 97, but I swear

And the MBAs want this business model for everything. No one "owns' anything and you have to "buy" a new one every 2 years. Vote with your wallet.

I imagine that the actual truth to the situation is far more complicated than either of us understand and that NATO provides substantial benefits to the United States.

So tearing down is cheaper than renovating? I'm not sure that's what you're saying but that's how I interpret it. Feels like an over-generalization to me.

I'm in year two of turning the front yard (half-acre) in to prairie. I'm _mostly_ using local flora but the climate is changing so there are more options. More challenging is that I had started with drought resistant indigenous st

It's almost as if those that respect and like Elon Musk and, "Alpha" dudes and "Libertarians" think Twitter is great, and those that aren't fans of the aforementioned don't.

"Bumpiness" could be climate related - I've spent a lot of time in the upper midwest US and Canada, the freeze/thaw cycles mean things move in the earth.
