I suspect for many of us, our phones and computers keep us better connected than we would be without them. Apple has always been more of a tools company than any of the other guys; they aren't telling you how to live your life. Even

Having crazy ideas seems to be a prerequisite for taking over the world with an idea. The alternative is having familiar ideas which are already pervasive, or having no ideas.

Microsoft has been around a long time and they seem to adapt pretty rapidly. I wonder what percentage of the company today was around during Ballmer days, and how the culture has changed over time within the company. Naturally it's g

Linux is pervasive because it's free (gratis) and flexible, but customers aren't necessarily seeing the core benefits of the Linux philosophy in terms of liberty and privacy. These examples of Linux succeeding are where some sort

So customers that want a more secure system should have no option? Isn't it a fair assumption, based on how consumers see Apple, that all software running on an Apple device is approved by Apple? The App Store always had that concept

There's a lot of lines you can draw like this. Do you own your money, or do you own an obligation made by the fed to all participants in the US economy? Okay, so maybe the US dollar is so pervasive that it's "inert" fo

Power is self-reinforcing too. A revolutionary stands a chance only if their ideas can be subsumed into a vision of greater prosperity for a nation; they can bring a narrative of greater freedom and liberty, but they must also show how it

5G allows for more granular management of network capacity, so you could think of a stadium deployment as somewhere between existing LTE and a WiFi mesh network. The carriers can look at dashboards and maps, and figure out where people are

The issue right now is how wide the surface area is. People stand up on global soapboxes, and in turn, something you say on Twitter (or said 5 or 10 years ago) comes back to bite you in places where you never even came close to saying some

To illustrate, in Silicon Valley, I might be fired if I mentioned in the break room that I think "pronouns" are unsexy. And yet, it is a matter of my individual and sexual identity that I would want to say this, because I find it

Looking back, I wonder what we will think of our current trend towards political correctness; to me it seems fragile. For instance, what do people gain from teasing or being risque? It seems like we're doing so much to be inclusive,

sounds like the fundamental dilemma in existence, that an individual is a free agent in a prescriptive system. can businesses be free agents? certainly someone is excited about laser missile defense, and certainly the economy of ideas is

The complexity is about the bare minimum to express concepts like concurrency, pointers, and interfaces, in my opinion. The ways Go seems complex are because it doesn't try to hide how memory works as much as other memory-managed lang

The race for AI supremacy started when people started doing CRISPR in their basement. It's not "ideological" for the US to go first, it's the only option.

Salaries are an information game (that employees aren't winning), so it's limited, the extent that I'm willing to bottleneck my income at whatever Glassdoor/Linkedin horseshit a company is working off of. You can easily

You could also argue that going into law enforcement or military is an above-and-beyond commitment that people of faith excel in. Conservatism is a focus on whatever may be conserved. Mormons are generally raised to commit themselves to t

Maybe a randomized serial number will allow Apple to sell you a product made in America or Europe without you needing to know the difference. Maybe it also grants Apple greater liberties when negotiating with existing suppliers. What was t

Amazon is super metric-driven. It would be interesting to see unions come back with a metric-driven approach that helps workers, gives power to individual warehouses, comes across as "Amazonian", and makes corporate cream.

corporate culture is all built on this attitude. Amazon leadership principles are akin to NLP on a corporate mission statement level. they're good, too, if you just take them as simple pieces of advice, but you should also consider t

As a kid it seemed like I got sick a lot (as perhaps many kids do) and I became a germaphobe. Now, as an adult, I am/was traveling semi-frequently, I don't really think twice about touching things in public, washing my hands, eat
