If you are able now to create 10 products instead of 1 in the same time frame you will have to plan, review and maintain 10 things instead of 1. How can this work? I mean to double your productivity is a huge jump but 10x sounds unsustainab

I will just provide 2 examples, but you can find a lot more. If your data is in the hands of a nation that uses this to block you from your data you should do something about it. [1] If your data is in the hands of a nation whose representa

I dislike this dramatization in reporting of mundane facts. So report the facts but sentences like "What Wei probably didn’t tell Cook is that Apple may no longer be his largest client" make it personal, they make you take sides,

What do they mean with: "#1 year for Apple Music listenership"? If it is "The year in which people that use Apple Music used more Apple Music than in the years before" than it does not sound astounding.
