Large drop in their biggest sector is a reason for layoffs when they’ve historically never done it.

What positivity? This is just a bunch of facts showing Apple hasn’t laid off folks in the past and didn’t over hire recently so it probably won’t lay off folks.

There’s also more spiral galaxies than expected! If steady state gained favor that would be super fun, but this quote from the article seems to throw a little cold water on that. > At the same time, she notes that yesterday’s disks are d

Why do we talk about how it's good for people to have choices except when it comes to choosing to work remotely? It seems like big tech companies are forcing people back into the office so if you need mentorship it's available fro

It takes time to learn, but I found it much healthier to have a social life primarily outside of work. What happens if you change jobs? Get laid off? What happens if you make a big mistake and the social network you relied on is now angry a

> I wonder how much Musks behavior on Twitter over the last months impacted the Tesla brand. Definitely affects mine, I'd buy literally any other electric car now. But... Tesla had a ridiculous valuation anyways compared to profits.

Weighted averages. Toyota's market cap is 180b Ford/GM/BMW/Honda's are around 50b Tesla has 350b market cap now . About equal to all the ones I listed above. It'd have an outsized affect plummeting from over

I don’t think they’d ever play it, directly. I imagine it’s more like the tip of the iceberg in terms of regional influence the US has.

Given the US has army bases all in and around Europe, more than any European country, I bet the US wouldn't comply. It's rarely talked about, but you gotta imagine, the fact the US controls most of the land and sea is a big factor

Maybe I missed it, but what I don’t see mentioned in the comments is the biggest change from four years ago: light at the end of the tunnel. Four years ago Tesla was in the throes of model 3 production and had the potential of huge demand o

> On one end, cities obviously need stadiums Many people don’t like sports and find them a nuisance. The idea that they not only cause traffic but cost us money while making only a select few people extremely rich is nauseating.

We really missed the boat on having something like “Craigslist for talking to friends and neighbors” launch decades ago. Just something unsexy that works and can stick around in the same form because the owner is a curmudgeon with out any d

Because their clients are extremely rich people and if they’re not confident the experiments will work they won’t get money from those said rich people.

If companies really had a noble causing of reducing traffic fatalities I'm pretty sure the billions they spend could be better spent advocating for light rail and buses. And hey, thousands less people would die of lung diseases to boot

I mean, that’s good though right? If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work. Worst comes to worst taxi drivers still have a job.

It's funny that that is exactly how disruption works. Use tons of VC money to flood a market with a cheaper product, become dominant, then jack up prices hoping people forgot the alternatives. It doesn't have to be jacking up pric

People get cynical when they’ve been duped a hundred times on a hundred different things. I’d blame media more than users. But yeah, certainly seems like this time is different. Really hope we start seeing more breakthroughs after this as i

Because the Amish are a Christian organization that’s been around for over a hundred years. Also, you still have to give up all your family and friends and live by strict Christian values. Not everyone’s cup of tea, especially if one happen

Always love finding the Facebook-stans. If you want to know what can go wrong look up Cambridge Analytica. Also, this may be hard to believe, but, most people don’t like ads and don’t value “useful ads” over their personal privacy.

The extent really matters. I don't care if Apple tracks App Store clicks or what I (don't) read on Apple News. I would care, a lot, if they tracked my browser history, chats, and email. Could Apple conceivably be spying on my ever

It’s anonymous as execs compared to Twitter who will never admit to these issues. It also tracks with what little I know about advertising. Also… I think advertisers don’t want to be the spotlight, their job is to make their customers the s
