Part of doing this is knowing the rules and the “real rules” - you have the car attached at an end node (Los Angeles or San Diego, say) even if your group gets on in Burbank.

Apple is pretty famous for dropping the ball for years on various things, and then coming out with a "slick version" so good that everyone forgets how late they were to the party. The most famous would be the iPod, but there are o

Has Google stomped on anyone since their Search squished hotbot and their email blew up hotmail?

Google selling ads on their search to people using their browser and phone was way more anti-trustful than anything Microsoft ever did, tbh. Especially when you consider that they bribe Apple and Firefox to funnel users to them, too.

On the phone it always defaults to searching the online store/music, instead of the local songs. The Mac app version is less annoying in that way as it seems to vaguely remember what you were looking at.

Pensions are a bit harder to get out of, but healthcare is easy. You never deny, just delay.

There’s a strong argument for tight integration-the argument for NOT allowing customization is much weaker.

My main complaints are that it’s clearly store and subscription first, local music and playlists a distant second. Still works however.

The audience was the only thing they couldn't control - so they got rid of the audience.

Tsunamic tide would be better - as it operates like a high tide, which can be relatively shallow but still cause a lot of action.

Even the linux kernel doesn't need millions of lines of code; most of the actual LOC is device drivers, and you don't need all of them, you just need the ones for the devices you have.

If these apps were entirely local nobody'd care. The insistence they go through a server is why they suck

When only the self-selecting intelligent/diligent/driven went to college, selecting college graduates was a huge win. So then everyone decided everyone should go to college - to me that's manifestly not the case, but that&#x2

Which is why night school for someone in that position can be useful - just to get the keyword "degree" on there. But the people you meet at night school are likely to be even more useful. Connections rule the world.

A bachelor's now is a high school diploma of 70 years ago. It doesn't tell you much and it delays your earning potential four years, and saddles you with debt.

Cybersecurity seems to be either working to fill out forms to satisfy some requirement of some company/government office, or being akin to an exhacker actually trying to improve security. Colleges seem to be producing tons of the first

This is a big part of the problem; in the past when you had these situations the "kids" would move to new cities where new activities were happening and build them up (hell, Silicon Valley is basically an example of this). That se

This is the problem - not that a brand new McMansion is going for 3,000 square and $900k - it's that the 750 crackshack is going for $500k.

One trick I've found is that I need to first give the clanker the real problem (in your case, the laptops not connecting) and then give it what I think is wrong. If I start at too low a level, I lose much of the advantage of the tool

Dunn-Kruger AI. But hey, if it works it's still a powerful tool. So far my use has done things I could do, but haven't explored in detail how to do - with simple steps I can guide and understand and finally automate things that

This makes me want to tackle my biggest annoyance - many of my files in iTunes refer to locations on a server that doesn't exist anymore, even though the files still do. Hmmm.

Go the next step and have the LLM simulate the controller and play the game for you.

This is more common than people may realize; I know two cases I was personally involved in where a VC went to bat and “did right” - it’s just not talked about much, as it’s not a terribly interesting story.

I want unified but not uniform - everything can address anything, but you can add slower RAM to the system without requiring an entirely new chip. NUMA is cool.

The familial support really is key - it is possible to have a large family "on your own" but it's significantly harder than if you have cooperative family in the area, or are already in multi-generational living situations.
