I don’t see why when Apple claimed their supply chain ops in China resumed as normal as of last week. And that’s probably the most authoritarian quarantine we’ve seen up to this point.

I hate to say I'm 'bullish' about a situation where people will die, but the fact that 80% of cases are mild or asymptomatic bodes well for the working economy. conferences, travel, and tourism will take a huge hit, but I don

I know this sounds trivial, but there's data that suggests common immune-systems boosters such as zinc and vitamin C do help with covid-19. https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...

It's funny in my career I've observed similar development styles. But I always just thought of this as great/good developers verses average/mediocre developers. the A+ coders would always make their code very easy to acc

There's also some innate complications with the nature of a company adopting an open source tool. it's classic 'build vs buy', so if a company is investing in engineers building their own in-house solutions on top of ope

Yeah I have a similar feeling...but I am willing to try it. Just aware that there are probably corner cases it can't handle and generally curious about what the behavior is. For instance, I was driving on autopilot on a section of 101

I hope we can finally see some improvements at SFO. The fact that the slightest impact on visibility can cause 4-5 hour long delays is ridiculous. the SF government has tirelessly blocked all attempts to fix the runways so that planes can l

Exactly. Personally I don't like drinking. I see the fun of getting drunk with friends and all..experienced it in my college years...but I don't like the unspoken pressure/expectation that you have to be on something to have

am I ridiculing having a good time? If I'm not drinking at a bar every night I'm boring? Sounds like a Budweiser ad to me... I'm simply saying there's a real opportunity cost which is directly in context with the comment

Also have to factor in the opportunity cost of drinking...going for a drink after work instead of the gym? What comes next? Bar food with your beer and maybe a pizza? I'd rather have the work out, good meal, hydrate, and get good sleep

Remember when the airpods first came out? SNL, Conan O'Brian, all of twitter were basically dragging it through the mud and making a mockery of them. 3 years later you can't walk around a major city or airport without seeing a sig

how do you teach a teenager to 'not take things at face value' without inserting your own opinion about news that's fake? 'look at this fake news asserting A...this story is misleading because B is actually true'.

big companies are also notorious for reaping whatever they can take from smaller companies...and when its time for the smaller company to monetize..."whoops we don't have budget for that."

And amazon has 125,000 employees running their supply chain. I wouldn't call that 'easy to scale' either.

AAPL is still undervalued compared to stocks like AMZN. Apple's P/E of 17 is amazing compared to Amazons 78. I'm not really sure why their stock isn't traded with the same enthusiasm that other tech companies see.

Yeah the best ones are 11 to 7. No one wants to network at 8 am before a bunch of keynotes and presentations. Lunch and after event mixers are the best. 7 am to 7 pm was terrible. everyone was sleepy in the morning (pre caffeine) and comple
