I find (2) to be kind of a BS narrative. It’s not like they are open-sourcing the code. All big tech companies have security audit programs. Does that assuage your security concerns when Google, Meta, etc do it? Basically, what they are say

Apple announced many of the new features are not on-device. There are three categories: 1. On device 2. Private cloud compute (aka Apple’s servers) 3. OpenAI (but only if you approve each time it’s used) This isn’t really a new thing - you

In California you pay an extra deposit when you buy a plastic bottle. I don’t know if that number is set to properly capture the externality, but it’s enough to get people wandering the streets to pick up the bottles and turn them in (they

My feeling is that discussion of this issue includes a lot of people implying things, making vague accusations. I feel it’s useful to get specific about the claims so readers can understand them.

The allegations here, if I got it right: 1. One guy who worked for Saudi intelligence knew about the attacks (disputed). 2. 15 of 19 attackers were Saudi nationals (dubious relevance, generally we don’t blame a whole country for crimes comm

I would suggest putting a sentence like “google ads can show a trustworthy/trademarked url (such as YouTube.com) but if the user clicks, the link actually goes to evilscam.com” in the first paragraph. I didn’t understand that this migh

The fact that someone who needs to sell will pay back the principal is valuable to the bank. If a bank starts offering the option to get out of the loan at a lower price, it would impair the value of that loan. The only way to make this hap

The fact that some people payoff early factors into the market value of mortgage debt, and therefore the interest rate that is offered. So if it were easier to transfer the debt when moving, the risk profile would be different, and the rate

A good example of how the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Just because Herbalife is morally a pyramid scheme doesn’t mean the FTC was going to shut down the company. Herbalife stock went up and Bill Ackman exi

People really do say they “ordered something off the menu” when they found the item on the menu. I believe I could usually distinguish the two meanings if I heard a recording. If the item is not on the menu, the word “off” would be stressed

I just pay for upgraded boarding ($30) which means that I have my pick of aisle/window seats before it gets crowded. Lack of premium class seating is real, Southwest is not the airline for you if you require >17 inch seat width or &

DOJ has been filing aggressive antitrust cases throughout the Biden administration’s tenure. If you want to be conspiratorial, you can point to their losing record in court and argue they know the cases will fail, but “it’s an election year

Easy to say in hindsight, but using stock to pay for a merger is common. Most companies are not carrying a big chunk of their value in cash (it’s not capital-efficient). Therefore buying anything sizable for cash will require the combined c

It’s hard to turn down the prospect of making your and all your employees/shareholders investments pay off. In fact, many of them would probably angry if they heard you did that. The potential for an exit is one reason they worked for

Ads on the internet are worth a lot less these days if they don’t come with measurement of whether they are causing conversions (aka tracking). Apparently this measurement is a human rights violation when Google or Meta sell the ads but not

In the past a lot of options would expire if you didn’t exercise them within eg. 90 days of leaving. And exercising could be really expensive. Speculation: maybe the options they earn when they work there have some provision like this. In r

MacBook works great at work! Based on my experience with my work device, it’s as pleasant for casual media consumption. The Magic Keyboard actually lifts the iPad above the keyboard, which puts it in a better viewing position in laptop-mode

Yeah, you could have a device with the same form factor and UI that also has a normal terminal and can compile its own code. It’s ok for my personal use case but it’s a big limitation and rules out the device for many people.

I have a MacBook from work so I do compare them. It’s a worse user experience. No touchscreen, screen is lower and further from my eyes. It’s physically less pleasant to use. There are also some use-cases I can’t even do with the MacBook fo

I heard all this hubbub about Mint going away, but I think it just rebranded. Now it’s part of the Credit Karma app and it still works, my accounts are all still there. It reminds of the HBO/Max thing. Seems like a braindead decision t

It’s true I spend a lot when I go, but then I don’t go to the normally grocery for weeks. I think it’s a net positive in money and time.
