Microsoft Ribbon on the HUD to Apple Touchbar on the Keyboard. I think this was a natural transition since it is more customizable and baked into more applications. The mobile/social UIs have created an opportunity for Apple to make a

I imagine we'll initially have the working class inhabit non-Earth places such as the moon, Mars, etc. Once the risk of the frontier is mitigated, we'll have a gentrification of sorts where the working class is pushed back to Eart

Musk tried to steer his presentation back to the mission of SpaceX which is focused on transportation and space. The scope of travel is already too big so terraforming and the questions regarding what/how life will develop is begging f

The executive function of the brain involves decision making and creativity. Many blue collar jobs are repetitive of just following a standard operating procedure over and over. It becomes taxing and creates an intrinsic limit to how much c

I think about the 24 hours in my day and see if the time I have spent/will spend expresses the priorities I have in my life. I create routines to ensure the decision-making is minimized as much as possible such that my habitual actions

Many religions/philosophies advocate service and virtuous acts as the path to happiness. However the underlying need for happiness exposes ego on some level creating an uneven foundation no matter what. Thanks for sharing!
