On the plus side, for Adobe, is that they have a fairly stable & predictable SaaS revenue stream so as long as their R&D and product hosting costs don't exceed their subscription base, they're ok. This is wildly different

That's not common in the US (yet). Things here are still predominantly stick built with 2x6 framing, either on a concrete slab or concrete foundation with a dug out crawlspace. Basements are decreasingly common, even in regions where

Your first sentence is true. The rest of it isn't remotely close to being true (starting in around 7th grade).

You may think this now but maybe wait until your kid is in middle or high school. Adolescent life is coordinated online now, and you will literally be handicapping your kid if you take a hard line.

My 7yo reads voraciously, including on her Kindle. This depends a bit on the kid, but also quite a lot on the household overall.

I think the more likely causation here is that higher incomes drive increase in western diets, and higher incomes lead to higher healthcare spending.

Just to be clear: you are not wrong. That said, the vast majority of boot purchasers don't wear them enough to need Viberg, etc, quality, and almost anything will last them until they get bored of the purchase. What I am curious abou

I am under the impression that such things do/can exist, but ad hoc. For example, if you were to take extracurricular lessons at a RSM or similar private tutoring business, you could/would probably find a number of similarly incl

I work in cloud consulting and we definitely do not act like this. We currently maintain almost 0 bench for one of the hyperscalers and recruiting is proving to be very difficult for senior technical consultants (both infra & data doma

I think too many SWEs making comments like Gary has are discounting just how many software engineers are employed outside of tech, mostly working on either 1) workflow, 2) CRUD, or 3) reporting/analytics tools inside enterprise IT orga

High quality boots definitely don't cost >$1000, and definitely not boots that are on par with the quality of DM from the 80s. DM from the 80s were "fine", but they still weren't really high quality and their soles w

I think you hit the nail on the head. They won't steer you far wrong, but they also may neglect excellent options. For example, they recently published a "best water bottle of 2024" list. They chose to rate Hydroflask #1 a

At the end of the day, everything but 1) product development (R&D) and 2) corporate leadership are fungible and prone to outsourcing to the lowest cost locations until they get moved to a place where quality drops off enough that the co

That last statement is absolutely true, but if you have a constrained domestic supply chain, high employee cost, and/or constrained margins on finished products, you're still going to have come out behind if you persist with domes

There's a vibrant high-tech contract manufacturing segment of the economy, led by behemoths like Foxconn and several other Asian players who specialize in consumer electronics & computing gear (Compal, Pegatron, Quanta, etc). That

Yeah, for sure. After all, it's a Tier 1 city in the United States. It's just different in the Bay, but it's different than anywhere else in the world.

I spent 8 years at Google (Cloud) and have lots of friends in the revolving door of AWS -> Google Cloud -> MSFT/Azure. I've been long convinced that MSFT has the best management and offers the most predictable corporate cul

The difference is that you don't need to do it every day. On the one hand, it's pretty easy to "multitask", like charging while while brushing/flossing, shaving, etc. But it's certainly much easier to not hav

They did make this pivot several years ago, with big upsell and a huge internal product advancement to offer housebuilt eDiscovery for lots of data types. I was at Google Cloud when they did the first big deal around this a few years ago:

I'm not in the iPhone ecosystem anyway, so it's probably moot, but one thing Google did really right this year was to issue Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL that are identical in everything but the screen size. I'm very happily upgr
