> "Apple" was a much better brand than {someone no one has ever heard of}. This is of course true, but not relevant. The personal jukebox was a junk product. Nobody would seriously imagine that the reason it didn’t win against

As has been said elsewhere - it didn’t beat apple to anything because it was giant, had a poor UI and no meaningful companion software. It was a prototype that wasn’t ready for the market. Nothing more. Comparing the iPod to junk that hap

Apple’s brand recognition wasn’t anything special at the time. The iPod was essentially their first meaningful entry into consumer music. Compared with say Sony, they were nobody - a recently failing maker of outdated computers.

“Just make sure it can be easily replaced when needed”, implies a clean architecture of some kind - which implies experience. Perhaps you’re just better than you realize.

On the surface this seems like the first move that would increase my respect for him since he’s taken over Twitter. I’m anticipating being disappointed.

A good starting point would be the pretty broad research on circadian rhythms if you want to know more.

How do you know the details don’t matter? Often, not paying attention to the details leads to technical debt.

Sure, but there is plenty of evidence to suggest that getting up earlier is not equivalent to a later class.

What does oversleeping through an early class have to do with not waking up early enough?

So what? That’s what the article is about, not the narrative of “people wanting out”. You’ve added that. If you want to write a piece about that, go right ahead. It’s just nothing to do with this article.

What they are describing as ‘hell’ is regarded as an attractive working class job by many in China. By these standards, Teslas are made in hell, and Twitter is hell these days too. This tries to be an anti-Apple hit piece, but is really an

This is a misrepresentation of the how the electoral college functions. All it does is change the weight each state has over the result in a systematic and well understood way. It doesn’t in practice made any decisions about the results.
