I mean within reason obviously. Obviously your employer can't force you to get up and do jumping jacks at 3am for no reason either. But as it pertains to work, provided it's not illegal, yea they can pretty much force your hand on

This. And I would also add how naive it is to think that you don't have to comply with the list of requests sent to you by the person giving you a paycheck each month. Let be known, if you're accepting a salary from any person, co

As Elon said, 'everyone chasing LIDAR is doomed to failed. DOOOOOOMED.' Waymo is just one big cope party filled with HBS grads who can't fathom that they didn't succeed at something.

Those AWS images running OSX aren't free. Apple is definitely getting some royalty. And that royalty is basically very low overhead. Keep in mind, hardware isn't software, and it does have a very high overhead.

I get your point about empathy, but it's far too utopian IMO. This isn't like life saving heart medication or something, its just music streaming. A company is not obligated to provide a service forever, even if they did kill off

>It captures the narcissism that is tech perfectly. Yes and no. I would argue that small projects are a misalignment of resources for FAANG companies. For example, niche music streaming services are better left to smaller startups who ca

Sad but true. A lot of great ideas at tech companies get thrown by the wayside because aspiring PMs and Eng leads don't think those project will get attention. Im talking businesses that are easily $xxM ARR businesses if you were run t

Sorry TC the reality is barely anyone but aging millennials are keeping 20k songs around in mp3 format. Google killed the service because no one really uses it and it didn’t make sense to keep staffing it. But more so than that no one at go

The science behind a rice cooker is fascinatingly clever, yet painfully simple. In short, boiling water temperature plateaus due to the latent heat of vaporization. When the water is gone the temperature of the pot starts to rise. The rice

I know that DMB, Phish, and TGD have a BIG bootleg community. I think this is a great idea and key to their success as cult bands. I wish more bands would do this. Something about a bootsy live album with all its background noise and charac
