   There are different customer expectations in the luxury watch market and tech market. Apple didn't respect those expectations. A luxury watch, certainly above the $15k range, is expected to receive lifetime servicing. It is a very clea

   Oh definitely. But there wouldn’t be Google’s updates to a dead project, even if it wouldn’t stop working like Jamboards.

   Perhaps the problem is not the quantity of notifications, but quality. If these notifications were about meaningful social interactions, like how Apple or Google shows them in their marketing materials - friends calling and messaging friend

   For iOS - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201925 On Android, I believe there are apps that will copy and dismiss your notifications, so you have a similar experience.

   Thanks for your thoughts, I think the context you're contributing is fantastic. In both cases, the men have committed a severe injustice to society. And in both cases, it seems like they knew better than to do it, but chose to do it, a

   I'm curious to hear some thoughts of an expert - how much does natural rubber reduce the pollution for 100 miles driven by a tyre? Can you think of any alternative technical solutions? Can you think of any political solutions?

    Thanks for the additional context about the medical community. Yes, it seems like individual people objected to Freeman’s work in his lifetime, even if there was no overall consensus on it. This is important to note, because it further dimi

    I’m always surprised people do take home tests, email headhunters, call and interview with other companies on their current company’s hardware. Plenty told me they do it, but I just can’t comprehend it. There are so many potential consequen

    My colleague once told me that the reason telecom providers took so long with Android software updates was because they had to verify that the phone meets regulatory requirements after the update. One of these requirements was being able to

    Thanks for some nuanced thoughts. I do understand the usual arguments for these surgeries at the time, which often overlap with arguments for why Freeman should have been absolved of accountability for his actions: Other methods were not av

    There's a memoir Dully co-authored and published not too long after this article. There was also another article where, if memory serves me right, where he spoke about what it felt shortly after the lobotomy. Although I might be misrem

    Lex Fridman talked to Mark Zuckerberg about this just a few days ago [0]. It didn't sound like Meta is has good answers for how this should be done. So it seems unlikely that they'd be significantly more than 6 months into researc

    Can't one value both social media and privacy? I don't think we need to be very one-dimensional about this - "either privacy or Facebook". You know, ultimately, you can choose to not share that much with Facebook. There

    Ah, thanks for clarifying. Yes, I agree. I think that social media is responsible for a lot of this outrage culture, although the culture has spread outside it. People were much less adversarial and easily offended in the 90s and 00s. There

    I don't blame you for seeing this as outrage or offence, or me victimizing the users of social media. But I think you're labelling this as outrage because we're so used to seeing outrage online. No, this is just an observatio

    It could just be me, but I feel the offence/outrage culture is very tiring on social media. It seems like certain parts of the internet have become a sponge of human frustration, often misdirected, often unnecessary. Is it healthy for

    The resolution was probably OK, you wanted lower FOV or higher pixels per degree (PPD). There are monitor replacement AR glasses with the same resolution or lower, but acceptable PPD due to their low FOV.

    No need to be so cynical. Regular people are investing in publicly traded companies and they do care. Activist investing is on the rise. Private investors in the tech sector now do much more rigorous vetting of companies (especially after s
