My mom gifted the Zahn books to me as they were published. I enjoyed them immensely. We lived in Portland, and IIRC Zahn lived in Eugene which seemed incredible to me someone was crafting the Star Wars universe from so nearby. My interest

Yes, I'd gladly trial something like this. It must run locally / require no network requests. I can run on an M2 w 24GB or M3 with 36GB. My email is in my profile here.

It isn't redaction but reasonable and artful substitution. It isn't about dumbing down, but removing dumb ideas.

It is important that you might have considered Apple Watch if it were available for Android. This gatekeeping seems the crux of the lawsuit. However, given your deep experience with Fitbit / Google's offerings and careful consider

This is a fair point. It should not need an iPhone. I think it did in the first several generations but not today. I suspect forcing Apple to allow this device to operate without an iPhone (even lacking features that might reasonably requir

Its not about being die hard or for the sake of an Apple logo alone. Apple just often does stuff in such an elegant way that it defines entire product categories. In most cases, Apple products are qualitatively and quantitative better. Appl

This may be a strawman, "9to5Mac's Take" points out Google's acquisition of Fitbit has not resulted in a competitive product to Apple Watch. Fitbits were very popular, is this a fair characterization that lack of compa

In the EU / app store ballyhoo, privacy / security has been used too often. But in general, Apple has relentlessly set standards for data privacy that no other business seemed willing or able to provide. Far from perfect, (CN data

This shouldn't be something where we're relying on recollection. Presumably github repo privacy state has an audit trail. This would allow GH to prove / disprove claims on any given repo easily. I hope a rep steps in to do so

What part? If it was the shares were part of the lockup I’d look harder at it. But in this case what incentive would they have for this to go badly for participants?

Anyone else have access to the directed sale at IPO? It is an unusual position because shares purchased this way are not restricted formally or informally by a lockup period.

Does Airbnb take a public stance lobbying for change on these big levers? The company is powerful enough to transparently fund and back political action on these other areas.

Despite the slant of this article, yes. These groups work on reputation. If prior ransoms do not result in seemingly perfect dealing from their end, new orgs won’t consider it. The significance of the rug pull on affiliates confirms this. I
