Impressive. I'm imagining the simulator being useful for emergency training. Like they have run out of the salmon in First Class and only have chicken left. Or the kid sitting between you and their parent has just thrown up--on you. Bu

No doubt inspired by George Gamow's Mr.Tompkins in Wonderland ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Tompkins ). That was recommended reading for entering Physics undergrads when I did my degree.

Ha. For quite a while it was very small team and had to be for that kind of brain surgery, I have no idea how large it finally grew. Founders Mendel Rosenblum and Ed Bugnion in the early days. I remember when we hired Ole, Carl, Keith Adams

You are hallucinating and don't have any clue what you are talking about (VMware employee #10/11 -- I lost count, First Director of PM at VMware). VMwware sure as hell did not invent the hypervisor, and we were damn careful not to

Leaving VMware just got harder? What? NO! It just became more obvious that you've failed if you are still stuck there. (VMware employee #10/11 -- I lost count. First Director of PM).

In what Universe does worrying about the typeface of your startup effort matter? Google for one has some just lovely free to use high quality typefaces. Do I care about design, hell yes, for one I worked for Adobe helping introduce InDesign

I was working with a team pitching a new marketing database system to Discover Card decades ago. When we were first shown around their HQ which was a kind of hybrid open floor plan with lots of cubicles there was a large office with fancy Q

I occasionally find myself longing for talk(1) to actually work on Macs.

Looks very interesting, love to see the innovation/effort to go beyond the usual. What would be great for me is a version with Mac/vt-100 style number pad. Even mechanical keyboards that claim to be Mac focused largely have PC num

Horizon Worlds was always going to be a disaster. Complete crazy goals. An embarrassing mess of dopey looking legless avatars, then trying to force Meta employees to use it (everybody I knew there hated it). At this point I would like Palme

Hopefully some day somebody will build a Tardis and travel back in time and eliminate the BBC morons who allowed all this destruction.

Good. I'll take Gary Tan and his demonstrated efforts to clean up a corrupt dysfunctional San Francisco over any opponent. Oh yes and fuck the Nimbys.

It's the horrible "IBM Watson" marketing of our time, and I expect will do as badly for Microsoft as Watson did for IBM.

Yes that's a great stat. It's amazing how slowly large companies can die. Intel has serious problems in all those segments. Maybe they can recover but I'm pretty pessimistic about their chances.
