This reminds me acutely of Jobs' criticism of Apple during the the Sculley/Spindler years: that the company got incredibly greedy and extracted as much value from its customers as possible, without fully delivering on that value.

Check out the article again - this is wrong. The reporter makes no claim about this. >>Ms. Simpson went with her mother and said she thought it was an opportunity to talk to Mr. DeVaul about the job. She said she brought conservative

This is pretty much a textbook example of an attempt at regulatory capture, though more explicitly aimed at hurting competition than normal.[0] It's hard to take Apple as sincerely looking out for the best interests of consumers given

Agreed - a ridiculous omission. Imagine if Microsoft in the 90's tried to exert an appstore level of control over all software that could be installed on Windows? And took a 30% cut of revenue!

I don't understand this legislation or this perspective. If it is the job of the government to provide a strong safetey net, then it shouldn't be incumbent on private employers to do so. Why should Walmart be tasked with providing

Could you explain this more? A Tesla car is largely the same as any other modern car in how it functions and is manufactured. The major difference is the battery + electric motor. So besides the production of the battery and motor, how are

There's an important part of the Tesla story about what they've gotten wrong. Musk has admitted, and perhaps downplayed, the mistakes made in attempting to overly automate the factory and becoming distracted by the "art"

A modern car is far safer, far more reliable, far more efficient, far more powerful, and far better than the environment. The added complexity only makes things better, in this example.

Interesting - any idea what the other circumstance are? Is there a statute for this? Have you considered requesting some specific source code and publishing it yourself? Might make sense to start small here. I have a lot of experience in ma

There are sooooo many companies that offer a "university" - do they make you attend school for 4 years solely, working at most part-time? Just more marketing mumbo jubmo.

I don't understand this at all. It reads like PR boilerplate: "Used by 99% of Stripes in the last month, Home is the source of truth for who we are, what we’re doing, and why—and a platform for enabling individuals and helping the

Isn't latency a major issue for connectivity with satellites in geosynchronous orbit? I'm curious what their approach is here, either technically or what customer use cases they are targeting.

I'd suggest to the mods that all threads about health insurance be removed and perhaps moved to a new post. Though an interesting discussion, Aaron's article explicitly does not address healthcare. The dynamics of healthcare are s
