I wonder about this. Suppose you incorporate a LLC in Delaware that buys some stocks, and some houses in Arizona and rents them out. But you live in California. Is your LLC “doing business with California”?

It’s ridiculous to think that you’ve failed unless you’re the founder of a smash hit company, or a movie star, or a hundred millionaire, or a famous scientist. Those are very very low probability outcomes. The worst life to live is where yo

Pollock and DeKooning were thoroughly disinterested in painting in the classical or modernist sense. So to look for the skill or traditional aesthetic in these paintings is starting off on the wrong foot. They were good traditional/mod

Yes Trump is probably using this as political leverage, but the US being concerned about Chinese govt possibly spying on Americans using Chinese companies dates back to the late 2000s. Cynically dismissing it as a Trumpian fluke masks the p

The stated issue is that TikTok may share American user data with China and that there’s not any real way for the US to prevent this possibility. So it’s seen as a national security issue that the Chinese govt could track Americans. TikTok

My impression is that things are drastically different if you’re going for a top professorship vs something else, like a job at google. If you’re going for a professorship then basically nothing matters until you strike on an idea that hits

What’s a strong alternative for admin.google.com? Most importantly, making an org with a custom domain and managing users with email addresses on that domain.

They store a pile of fireworks next to 2700 tons of explosive materials, then they send in people to make sparks right next to the fireworks.

Not so fast. The hardware was mediated to be “safe” in various ways by the manufacturer and regulating bodies. It’s within accepted radiation levels, it’s highly unlikely to explode in your face or set your house on fire when you charge it.

This is such a tough issue because you could argue zuckerberg is taking this exact stance when he refuses to moderate harmful content because they’re a “mere platform”. From that perspective you could see Apple as selling you “the whole end

I think an important part of the "golden handcuffs" is the employee's sense of deep expertise and importance at their current company, especially if they were a very early hire. Coupled with a bit of impostor syndrome, this c

This debate seems to be about what's a user vs. a contractor vs. an employee. Does the fact that I walk a Google device around enabling Google to record rich profitable data, in exchange for extracting some value from their services, m

This article implies that you should fire customers who are bad as in demanding, annoying, toxic, high maintenance. But I don’t think it’s so straightforward. If the customer is faang and they pay a multimillion recurring contract, this guy

Intuitively, to me, it’s because it’s sorted “new to old” so the first events are fresher in memory and can be recalled vividly, making the most recent older event likely to be recalled vividly by association, etc. As opposed to starting wi

What sucks about these languages is complex sentences that look like loose English but are actually formal syntax. “.length” is so much easier to understand and remember as a formal sentence than “the number of chars in”.

I thought that was odd, too. My best guess is that he’s emphasizing “known” as in notorious. Apple is “that company that ships experiences” whereas google is that company that records you while you use their apps or whatever.

Apple has fallen way behind in software/apps, and maybe they’re ok with it. The hardware and OS are good, and some staple apps for creators are good. But at everything else they seem really lethargic or absent. For example, as a web de

That’s valid, but he’s implying that Judge Judy should be taken off air because some people watch it and then pretend to be lawyers. Squelching information seems like a terrible way to eliminate a few impostors downstream.

It sounds like what you’re complaining about is some people who put papers on arxiv and deceivingly claim to be experts. And kind of implying that these blog posts are to blame, so the blog posts should be retracted due to those dishonest a
