The fundamental problem here is that Apple’s revenues and culture come from selling excellent pay-to-use hardware, and the App Store’s revenues come from selling garbage pay-to-win games. So the advertising in iOS apps looks like the trashy

Sure, MS is alive and well and may outlast every other tech giant today (except probably Amazon). But that doesn't make Ballmer a good CEO.

They made a lot of money, but were not successful. Business software companies become irrelevant decades before their revenues go away (eg IBM). Microsoft lost its future relevance under Ballmer.

Goes to show that when an industry does not self-regulate, it gets over-regulated, which often disproportionately benefits incumbents, which incentivizes future lack of self regulation.

Is it legal to publish the name of the requestor? Name and shame?

I love the smell of new tires but never thought that the marketing industry had figured that out and was exploiting it. LOL.

There isn’t a single source of truth on what is or isn’t a “fundamental human right.” It’s a matter of opinion that differs across time and geography.

It’s clear that Facebook.com is yesterday’s news but it seems like the alternatives may be as damaging to the individual and to his or her society.

I’m talking about the optics to Google employees — I was not implying that they gave a crap about optics to the general public.

Northern New England will have to get its heroin problem under control before it will be appealing to the “remote programmer moving to rural area for peace and quiet and lower cost of living.”

It’s not going to make anyone move to a cabin in the woods. But if you have already decided to move to a cabin in the woods, it might make you pick Vermont over New Hampshire.

Why has this gone on so long? Surely the optics are worse than the revenue at this point. “We hear you, we are canceling this, we deeply apologize,” blah blah.

It might, but I tried on a Patek Philippe and the supposed “mystique” simply wasn’t there. It’s a watch. Big deal.

Why not just charter then? Seems like for a $5 million jet, the staffing costs and headaches probably make NetJets much simpler and farther in range.

Shifting some compensation to tuition will likely benefit Walmart in two ways: 1) attract a younger workforce who is less likely to incur health insurance expense, a strategy they’ve discussed since 2005 [1] and 2) recruit a more educated e

If the site isn’t offering any paid services to EU citizens how will the EU fine them?

Well, at that point they can create a "guaranteed provenance" diamond with papers like a show dog or a Mickey Mantle autographed baseball. That will help shut out even other mined diamonds vendors since all the marketing will be f

It started at Facebook and made sense for Facebook since nobody’s life is ruined if they can’t use Facebook for 5 minutes. It’s not appropriate for Tesla or even Google.

I feel like a big part of having a private jet is looking and feeling like a baller and I can’t see how that happens with those corny engine pods sitting way above the wings.

What if even below Moissanite? If they are selling artificial diamonds for $1 each that might be the best way to protect the mined diamond price.

Interesting. I heard the same so I kept reading and reading and waiting for it to get good, and for me, it never did.

In Facebook’s early days, everything you put on the site was shared with your friends. So it was not “private, personal, info” but rather the opposite — information that users wanted to publicize widely. I have never put anything on Faceboo

“Wijnand A. P. van Tilburg” is a name that almost comes with a prefab backstory. Heir to a mysterious but large fortune, Danish royalty on his father’s side with minor French nobility on his mother’s, great-great-grandson of the most decora
