Someone in 2006 asked what Apple would bring to the cellphone market, too. The issue with Apple and the automotive market is the units don't have enough turnover for Apple's business model to thrive.

Software had infinitely less demands on its usability and non-technicalness. Maybe it would be cheaper to have IT and have'm maintain this; but I doubt it.

What the heck? Politics at play here I assume. OpenAI was hitting zingers. RIP Sam. Cut down too early; not given the chance to become the next crazy CEO tech baron.

I'm starting to suspect there's more to securely stowing user data than throwing it on a bunch of 4TB SSDs!

I thought the backlash was a bit greedy by the devs? Unity is a great tool that you don't really pay for compared to foundational software in other verticals? It was like installs over 1 million (so over 1 million in revenue), which

Agreed. This is like blaming the user for your bad UX. Nope, the solution increased the complications of a very complex problem set (scaling software development). There are no silver bullets that can solve this. Only well-designed systems

Or grow up and accept that a volume of emails and comms are expected when you're coordinating with dozens of other human beings.

I think you nailed it. This is more than plausible, given Apple's penchant for valuing the packaging of technology (its application) over the sheer horsepower of cutting-edge tech. More performance per power draw would 100% fit with th

Sorry, but this is not accurate: People messaging over Slack 100% makes us more effective. Like any technology, including printing 20 pages of status report, there are ways to be efficient with them, and ways to be inefficient with them. Th

Your point is true, but as many trillion dollar businesses have been created with the "hey look at this cool tech!" school of thinking as the "focus on problems" school of thinking. Google thought they'd sell to Yah

Sorry to hear about your brother passing. Hopefully this gives options in future, as you said. Thanks for sharing

Give everyone the option to choose which browser they'd like to use by default. 99% will choose Google. Who the eff cares about this.

Or... do? 77k fine for a net worth of $10-14 million from his businesses, and a 5 years sentence at a minimum security prison (with the likelihood of parole much earlier) is not a bad retirement plan.

I'm not sure if you're wrong. What about boredom? Boredom isn't pleasure, or unpleasure. There could be some unpleasure associated with it, or it could manifest in daydreaming if the boredom is a nice reprise from a busy sche

Sovereignty matters more. You can't just assassinate someone based on your own laws in someone else's jurisdiction. That's anarchy.

It doesn't matter whether it's free or you're paying either — your consumer data from the grocery store and other retail purchasers is already tied to the ad grid too. If you buy a can of cat food you'll get cat toy ad

I often see articles like this, and they seem to think the message people takeaway from nihilistic meanderings like this is "nothing is forever therefore your toils are folly" . The author failing to see the time you spend togeth

This is fine though. All of these things, including the original sources, are philosophies as product of the time they were written. Ie. It makes sense for them to change as the society around them changes. If one guy reads the Tao of Pooh

Ehh you're right, but they don't really have to address showstopper issues. There isn't a lot of upside value in "human issue ranking" as a scrutiny tactic to a donation. Charitable donations aren't public nego

This type article declaring a thymus revelation is published every few years. We've known the thymus is saving our lives — it's where the t in t-Cells derives from for years. There are very old studies of removing it from older hu

Not discounting this, but i Free-form 1:1's always have an aura of being more "improvisational" and in the moment. Good 1:1's are supposed to be semi-structured (ie not 'free form'). A shared journal, a retro e

Cash has a real implication accessibility as well — particularly those who may not have enough income to even hold a bank account (that may be a NA thing?). It also helps those who aren't digitally literate or may have cognitive disabi

The only way to prevent AI from answering questions in digital platforms is to develop a ML db on the typing style of every student across their tenure at an institution. Good luck getting that approved — departments can't even access

I know people at this company. The Slack channel purge coupled with a move to Facebook Workplace to "shake up productivity" was disastrous for most productivity during the month of January. They did it right after the holidays too

I agree that interest rates have essentially driven most of the layoffs recently. Debt that used to cost 10c on the dollar to service has started to cost 2 dollars. If your expenses don't give, then your profits will. And potentially y

This is my experience as well. In most companies I've worked at (non-FAANG) the product team just isn't really large enough to support a more variable career chart. You have 8-10 PMs. You promote 1 to manager and another to princi

This is absolutely right, and why their new dev tools feature add an additional $25 per seat to use. Even though I would rather pay less — if the integration between a Design System and Github is clean enough it might be worth it for my DSM
