The other is "why so many employees." As if one guy writes Salesforce in a weekend and then that's all there is to it.

Interesting approach. Usually logo use is negotiated at purchase time. I'd be interested to see whether you suffer any consequences for playing fast and loose with logos. Might be a profitable way to break the rules like Uber, Facebook

I have never seen this scale of sacrifice for this scale of Quality Adjusted Life Years. Just the impact on the kids missing school will be worse than the impact from the virus.

He's been running the company since it was public so if you consider him batshit crazy then I'm sure you don't own any stock.

1/2 as many times as a human does. I've driven about 250,000 miles in my life and had 5 accidents, none with injury. But I think a self driving car could do a lot better.

As someone who’s been photographing for a few decades now, it looks like the recent iterations of lenses from the big brands are basically “perfect.” 70s and 80s lenses had tradeoffs... with today’s lenses from Canon/Nikon/Sony, t

Doubtful. Those mathematically optimal surfaces look like a complete nightmare to manufacture out of optical glass.

Very true. The non-quantitative client facing jobs at places like Goldman Sachs don’t really need very smart people... they need people who can comfortably speak with and engender trust with the descendants of Rockefellers etc. Right now Ha

Got my SE on Friday and haven’t yet bothered to open it (upgrading from 6s). In a way that’s evidence of how much of a “commodity” phones have become.

I don’t think making my children compete fairly with others is sacrificing their future, quite the opposite. If they will ever achieve anything meaningful they’ll need to build their own engine instead of just riding on the skis that I’ve g

I live in a $3 million house and would be COMPLETELY OK with my kids being rejected from their dream schools for poverty-linked affirmative action. They have a vastly easier path to academic achievement, and if they got 90 points on a test

Pray tell where is the "equity" in an Asian American child of Cambodian refugees having to clear a higher bar than Alexandra Postlethwaite with two white parents in Cherry Hill New Jersey.

Frankly this is the idea that a software guy comes up with. It’s like you translated the idea of checking every API request for malicious payload to a real-world situation and left out the 99.997% of the parts that make the problem hard. It

I have a 16x20 print on my wall from a 6x7cm negative I took with a Mamiya 7 camera and lens. The print is sharp even under a 10x loupe. This was an image I envisioned in my head, waited for the right time and light, set up on a tripod, too

You shouldn't need to turn it off, it feels like a knockoff of a real button, like a fake designer bag. Don't know what was wrong with a regular button that presses.

I've upgraded my iPhone five times, just recently to the SE, and each time it's been exclusively for the camera. Literally exclusively, since in many other respects the functionality is going in reverse (loss of home button, touch
