I've felt the same way. That's why I'm having to take better care of my mind and body through better diet and exercise. It helps but it's not like when I was in my 20s. I'm also working on starting up a business or

Deere's forgotten the point of their business: to provide farmers with what they need to do their jobs. When you make the company about maximizing profit, you interfere with the purpose of your business. You now get in the way of your

Think of it like this: There's millions of gems out there, and no matter how many you find, you'll never find enough. Most of them are better than the ones you'll ever find anyway. You'll never find the best gem. Not eve

> So, if your employee receives training that includes your trade secrets, those trade secrets will be implicitly used at the next job. That's not a compelling argument for NCCs. It's an argument stifling competition, which sho

Wow, that's a big deal. While NCCs I've signed have generally looked fair, I've seen a few lives destroyed by them. When somebody has expertise in a career in a certain field, and leaves a company, they shouldn't be puni

Nope, Steve Jobs, like most elitists, think the free market only applies to their whims.

This is called dogfooding, and developers have to do it all the time to make sure functionality works before deploy. I feel like designers do this minimally, or can get away with more functionality breakage or poor UX because they can make

It's called false simplicity. It looks easy but is actually hard to use. It's like Microsoft's ribbon design change. It hides a bunch of elements but made it difficult to figure out and click through.

This is why corporations can't be allowed to just do whatever they want. A rental company renting non-existent cars to you is a breach of their business purpose, to sell a product or service. You've spent time and money to get not

This is why there needs to be good jobs, wages, and benefits, so that so many people aren't feeling like they have to be entrepreneurs to have a good life. These things have been undercut over the decades to maximize profit for the few

It's funny how people word things. "A few months ago a Tetris enthusiast got in touch with me about this problem: An online Tetris tournament during which the contestants stream their gameplay." I don't see how an online

Exactly. The opinion pages are what craft thought far more than news. Those can be where the owners have impact without touching news.

News reporting is one thing, opinion reporting is its own beast, and I think a lot of people are not considering the difference much if at all. Murdoch and Bezos and others like that can craft a narrative through opinion reporting decisions

Why would Bexzos buy the Post if not to influence its narrative? I don't think he's gonna own a news agency that will run stories undercutting Amazon.

You don't understand art, you probably didn't finish reading what Julian wrote, you'll likely never understand what he did, and that poem probably has less meaning for you than most who would read it having never played the g

This is phenomenal. A famous poem to the best-selling game I've never played and never will, is now owned and reproduced in any forrn by everyone in the universe, against all contracts. Maybe it will be the End Poem of the universe, th

It's at the point where corporations have to be abusive to compete. This is what happens when government doesn't require minimum humane treatment and fairness for workers, based on having a good life, not just scraping by or sacri

Ethics get in the way of maximizing profits. We could have ethical treatment of workers with affordable phones while the rich stay rich, but we're afraid of that

I wonder how many workers will sacrifice their lives to make the price of iPhones "competitive"?

I'd argue that growth relies on stability, and if you don't have stability, you'll randomly lose growth.

I've heard many lefties say this is just being class reductionist.

I just listened to it, and it's obviously some teenager or 20-something that's hacked into it, maybe screaming from the bathroom, or added something to a memory card somewhere.

People use cars far more than they use guns, there's far more cars owned than guns, and and cars are far more regulated. However, the US is unique in the amount of gun deaths in the world... far higher than other countries, with regula

People keep complaining government is too complicated and too expensive and bafoonish, yet they don't see how corporations are no different except their priority is maximizing profit not providing cost-efficient quality.
