Sounds like a manufacturing or sourcing issue. I can only imagine Apple hasn't recalled or notified customer support to be on the lookout for this because Apple themselves isn't even aware of the issue. How would they know? Techs

For us, it's top-down led. You may get more success if you convince your skip level or VP it's worth adopting.

Everyone at my new job uses Clockwise, which will rearrange calendars across the org to maximize focus time for everyone (also address double-booking). This is my first time in 10 years since becoming an EM where I don't have to spend

Because the title frames it as subscribers; not subscriptions. Disney probably doesn't have more subscribers than Netflix, but it has people paying Disney two or three times, as you say.

The short answer is...maybe. Franchises with sufficient power behind them usually end up with park deals. Universal operates the Nintendo park in Japan and Harry Potter. Disney is operating the Avatar park (before they even bought Fox).

Indeed, and ESPN has always been far and away the largest source of revenue. In fact, the earnings call where Disney beat expectations but cable subs to ESPN dipped by half a percent saw a total run on the stock. ESPN+ is what they're

Worth noting that they're surpassing Netflix by including ESPN+ and Hulu subs, so many customers are getting double or triple counted. It isn't just Disney+. Also, Disney has made a lot of partnerships to promote and sell subscrip

I'm curious how they know bribery happened. According to the lawsuit details another commenter linked, it outlines a suspicious chain of events but no evidence of actual bribery from what I skimmed through. Maybe that's just how i

Tying identity to a phone number is one of those things that solved an immediate need (2FA) but it's riddled with so many issues and concerns that the only reason we're still doing it is because the alternatives are a huge step up

I can't quantify it any more than anything else in this thread is quantifyable. However, I see a trend in the problems major platforms are having in that they're failing serve lots of niche communities well, and if we've lear

I'm really excited to learn Godot. With the way Unity has changed, it increasingly feels like the right engine for hobby projects. I hope they avoid the missteps Unity made, but the approach they're taking here feels great to me.

The year before the pandemic I worked at a company that attracted a lot of younger, hipper people. It was crazy to me just how many people hung out at the office on a Friday night. Now that I'm 40, that life just isn't for me. I k

It isn't a tank. It's a triangle. Tanks also don't have infinite ammo. We make concessions to unreality all the time in the name of making things more fun. And this isn't an arcade. It's a web page. It's a comm

There is very little advice that's good, but if you make a living producing content, you gotta get your quota up. The algorithm prioritizes new content. People want something to read every day over coffee, even if there's nothing

From a customer perspective, people are wanting to retreat away from a lot of existing, global players. How many people would use something that's basically Amazon/Google/Facebook/Twitter as long as it isn't Amazon&

Good fun! As a FPS player, I want an option to bind A and D to strafe and use mouse or arrow keys to turn. Also, maybe have the music fade in so I have a chance to save my ears. "Blast" indeed. :)

I don't think there's a way to resolve a semantic argument like this. Most roles are pretty amorphous, and thinking any title can totally encapsulate job requirements is prone to error. Even as an EM, I have to find out what a job

There are two outcomes: 1. It isn't terribly successful and dies a quiet death as do a lot of non-consumer Apple initiatives 2. It's wildly successful and Apple shifts its focus to the pursuit of ad revenue...which will gradually

There are so many technologies Microsoft has tried to go all in on over the years...Internet Explorer, Edge, and .Net to name a few. Why they've never gone all in on the idea of Excel as a fundamental part of the operating system on to

When social networks started taking off, in the spirit of the late 00s there was a push to create standards for distributed social networks so that personal websites could replicate a lot of what social networks did. DiSo is one that comes

That surprises me. As an EM myself, I don't see this keeping up with my task load. I assumed this was targeted at junior ICs who may not have their workflow figured out yet. I wish you luck.

As someone deeply in love with Omnifocus, this feels like a step backward for me. Omnifocus has several features that Emery does not, and the only thing Emery has that Omnifocus does not is a dedicated notes space that isn't tied to ta

There are many tools that do this, but more often than not they still require significant hand tuning to look good. Best metaphor I can think of is publishing a translation of a novel. You can google translate it to get started, but you pro

I remember visiting AutoCAD in SF once, and they had a driving simulator for the newly constructed Presidio Parkway Tunnels, which were designed in AutoCAD. Simulation of real spaces is an interesting niche that I suspect will get leveraged

To me, Blindsight is the gold standard for bleak scifi. It gives the same unsettled feeling one gets from watching, say, Alien for the first time.

I've seen a lot of people who fail to live up to the perfect idea of themselves fall into thinking they have ADHD as a way of explaining it. I'm not sure what the answer to that is.

Growing up, my teenage friend group would frequently dive into mental diagnosis and personality assessments. This feels like a very common teenage thing to do and TikTok didn't invent it. At that age, you don't know who you are or

I think you may not be old enough to realize how social media shaped our reality when it came on the scene. Before that, it was the media giants that controlled the airwaves. It's been happening for forever. Welcome to the circus.

Wanted to say that I love your product. I've only started using it in the last two months, but it's the best backoffice tool I've had the pleasure to work with. You guys are really onto something. I wish you all the success.
