Maybe they should not have a single point of failure. FAANG is not good for our economy’s resilience.

Distributed nut farming is cool, and would solve my dilemma as a voracious nut eater. I cut out almonds for the amount of water they suck up in California, but probably every nut is problematic. Too bad resilience against future problems lo

Backwards. It’ll be an OS update that tells you your happiness score is nil, but you can start tracking it with the new iPhone. Then you’ll get nudges to close that Mood Ring by watching Ted Lasso.

We were promised jetpacks and instead we got a military-industrial complex funded by the promise of jetpacks. Can't wait til these trickle down to police departments.

I feel you. Don't be scared; embrace the knowledge that your productivity will crater for a while. Everyone's got different needs, but you will find yours reprioritized for you once the baby becomes a reality. Step back down Maslo

So you don’t have to read between the lines, I don’t have any home automation. Doesn’t solve any problems for me, at least nothing that doesn’t create new ones.

Honest question: do you live with other people? I'd ask matthew-wegner as well but I can infer that he doesn't.

Elizabeth Warren agrees: https://medium.com/@teamwarren/heres-how-we-can-break-up-big... She used Amazon as the example but thinks the same about the App Store. As much as I agree with her, the problem with this has be

Yes! The unusual relentlessness and Conan's breakdown is why that's my top Norm memory. Just mean from most people, but that impish grin lets him get away a perfect stream of ad-libbed insults. Saw him twice in standup. Second tim

I did that, wasn’t painful. On the other hand, Mailchimp expired unused credits I had to send emails. I know it’s the way of the world, but digital credits shouldn’t expire.

Fix the Police has produced many feel-good policies that have not had an impact. Defund the Police at least gets people's attention. It may be opening the conversation to a range of options, but I’m afraid it may be also reflexively ha

9/11 was such a singular event for Americans that future terrorists don’t have to kill people to be successful, if the goal is to create enmity and get the US to waste billions of dollars. Just an occasional scare will set us off again

At least that one ended in a burst of new threads for my imagination to chew on; the second half of Fall slowly dwindles into the petty, boring squabbles of gods, leaving a ton of more interesting questions unasked and unanswered.

You’re right — I’ll do my best to give them opportunities to find friends all over. Then my kids may become those privileged people, and it will be their responsibility in turn to continue that flattening until it’s not needed.

And there are other features that I’d like as a customer that Apple will not let developers offer. More payment options, for example. Why not have the choice of multiple app stores and let the market sort them out? We’ll see the best ideas

Pretty much the same here. Many of those connections were from school, going all the way back to elementary. So as a parent now, I feel like part of my job, for better or worse, is to nurture their friendships and maintain them with playdat

AirBnB offering accommodations is like the US government promising to take every refugee, only _after_ the airport has been closed off. They just gotta find a way into the airport, and we'll take care of the rest. https://tw
