As a helpful tip, I find that pocket lint will collect in the iPhone lightening port and needs to be cleaned out periodically. A toothpick does the job here.

Maybe, but the sake of venture funding a 40 year horizon is irrelevant. An analyst in 1970 would have easily concluded that a iPhone would be impossible for the next 10 years. Maybe possible in 50 years is as good as impossible for a ventur

Agreed, I mention that a service like levels.fyi is a very good idea. My point is more that a peer to peer discussion of salary has some potentially serious downsides and it offers an unrealistic comparison relative to a distribution of sal

A sense of equality is very important for a variety of good reasons. Whether this is more important than equality is a complicated question that is made more complicated by the fact that equality is hard to measure. True equality is general

Verification of parity in compensation encourages equality only if there is a clear mechanism to equalize levels. In general there will be mismatches in market forces, budgets, and the like (as well as seniority, the difference between peop

I think that this is a much older sentiment than modern corporations. For one thing the aversion to discussing wealth is more potent in contexts where the information is less related to market forces - people are more open to information ab

One thing that is frequently overlooked in discussions of publicizing salaries is that there is also a strong social stigma to flaunting wealth or talking about affluence. Personally I think that this is a good thing since it encourages hum

Not sure of the OP’s sensation but when an institution creates highly visible programs supporting every single group except one, then it is a form of exclusion (albeit a negative form vs a positive form of exclusion). You could say that suc

Accidentally got born somewhere is a very US centric perspective. Most countries do not follow Jus Soli births so this is not enough for citizenship. Citizenship is a matter belonging to a nation, past, present and future. Traditionally

Feels like a lot of the counter examples listed involve contractions and conjugation errors. Saying 'like' and 'liked' are different words is a strong interpretation. Similarly, 'I am' and 'I'm'

The risk of being tied to a small corner of the country is real and something any Ohioan ought to be sensitive to. Most of Ohio has suffered 50 years of economic back sliding. A lot of people thought that they had realized their modest and

Expensive phones don’t necessarily have much more long term software support than cheap ones and the cost is typically shared across the full product line. Yes Apple provides longer support than Android phones, but a high end iPhone and a l

End to end encryption is a privacy feature by itself. The example of using an email service to send a mass email to a dislist is irrelevant to the possibility that it would also be able to preserve privacy in other communications. You coul

I’ve heard this line of reasoning a lot but I’ve never seen anyone back it up with much of evidence beyond the usual platitudes of liberal parenting. (Note that I also find modern American child rearing techniques to be a set of failures w

The photographic technique matters for image quality. You may have been looking at autochrome prints which used potato starch grains and typically had a long exposure time and a bit of a pointillist effect. For reference here is a collectio

This was from 2013. The general climate here has turned pretty hostile to startups since then. The prevailing advice here is now to land a FAAMG job and slack off with a high standard of living, rather than slaving away at a startup to boos
