   If I hear the phrase "I'm an ideas guy" one more time, I'm going to lose it. Something I've noticed is all idea guys I've encountered were inspired to (in)action by Steve Jobs. But it's obvious that it&#x2

   I agree with your points and think "convenience" is an oft misused term in this context. It is "inconvenient" for me to go downstairs to pick up my Uber Eats delivery. It is nothing short of toil to do the multitude of t

   The impact on copyright would also be interesting (I’m imagining an artist holding copyright for an extra 75 years). Not to mention reunion tours. :-)

    No. Interviews are almost always useless. Best case you get an interviewer asking benign questions and an interviewee provide fluff responses (“it was a team effort”, “we’re ignoring the trophy - we only ever concentrate on the next game”,

    100%. That's what makes it so insidious, whether by design or happenstance...the burden of both payment and guilt are responsibility are placed on the customer. Tip poorly, or not at all, and the employee doesn't get paid. Makes i

    Yup, it's a sad truth (not limited to tech companies) that you've got to play the game. The blogger wasn't unemployable, just unwilling to do what was necessary for these particular companies (his prerogative; not judging in

    I found this staggering though it is accurate. It's less surprising (though no less accurate) when you consider how the numbers skew by borough: "Ownership is lowest in Manhattan, where only 22 percent of households own a car, whi

    First of all - congratulations on the launch. Your produce looks beautiful! I'm curious, and mean no offense when I ask: when you and other startups cite usage at Telsa/Stripe/etc. do you sell directly to those organizations

    Same. It happens often that the comments repudiate or at least undermine the article's claim. By the time I've read a few I've lost interest in said article.
