I had a manager like that. The bottom line is who he was talking to. Every decision was based on not losing face or winning the current meeting and if that meant affecting earlier decisions, he could roll the current meeting back also, no?

This is how I was discussing with someone how growth should be. Rather than allowing developers to build a 1000 unit monstrosity (well monstrosities may also be allowed but within limits), allow the city to grow by relaxing limits on everyo

My comment was supposed to mean that the new mac is what trash can generation mac should have been. The opposite of what you probably understood. And my understated implication was the trash can would have been an Ive design.

We have laws requiring smog checks, requiring odometers not be tampered. Those apply to cars. Why not laws requiring leakage check meters (or whatever would be the corresponding tech) to be installed for every mile of pipes? Pay it up one t

My father passed away earlier this year. Not that old but for the last 3 years of his life, he was unable to get up (body weakened by diabetes and a round of cancer), unable to see (almost 95% blind), and for the last 7 months unable to eve

Maybe the exact story maybe a similar story. Death is a constant : every year millions of people are dying and a lot of people die there (in Varanasi). It would be an obvious claim to fame for the city if marketed right, and there is no bet

Does not mean that a political system is a god given commandment that can not change to move to a better system. And if some states did agree to join a model, it would be the 13 original colonies. I suspect (but do not know) that the other

They said "you must implement sign-in with apple if you implement other third party logins". The inference is A) You (app developer) can build your own login - then this is not an issue B) You (user) can switch login - developer h

The last time I tried citi virtual card (1-2 years back), the interface was useless to be helpful. It ate up so much time to setup or verify card details that I did not want to use it. And then once when a merchant was declined, for no reas

Absolutely this. Imagine what a Facebook millionaire could buy when the stock was above 200 and now 140. 30% less down payment, no? Imagine what an Apple employee could put down at 235 vs at 140? Imagine what a Netflix employee could put do

When you shop at Costco, you are buying Kirkland, Samsung, Apple, and 100 other brands. Think of it from the perspective of Danone yoghurt. They are paying Costco 5-10-15% right? Because they sell to Costco at a price cheaper than the sale

One of the massive holes in the process is the definition of maximum duration of "6 years", of course that is 3 years at a time. So Indian outsourcing companies get a visa in October 2010, do not send the person to US till June 20
