"Roma" was the "wrong" kind of film at the time, produced by a streaming service which was then considered the mark of the beast. "Green Book" had a "white savior" trope which is now considered non-Na

I don’t know about repair but the $99 Brother laser printer doesn’t require any malware. You can print wirelessly from Windows/Mac/iOS without installing anything

That’s not NVIDIA’s place to decide.

No, because they don’t own my identity! If my name is valuable I can will it to them. I can will my money to them. I just don’t think they should be able to endorse political candidates with my name after I’m dead, unless I specifically gav

It happens a lot with private investors! Companies like Tesla and SpaceX and Apple would not exist without private capital markets.

Tale as old as time. Give a free tier to get people to store their data with you and then pull the rug when they’re too committed to leave. Should be illegal.

Yes, I know, I'm saying that it should not be that way. Rights to your likeness should end at your death unless you specifically write down otherwise.

Investors are the worst possible people to tell you how to create something great. I've never seen a notable public market investor who made the world a better place.

I don’t think my kids have any more right to use my name than a corporation, unless I specifically grant them that right (like Walt Disney did by naming it the Walt Disney company). Another sickening one is the Ed Lee Club in SF, who endors

Off topic but I can't stand when corporations use actual people's names for their marketing who never gave them the permission to do so. For something like Shakespeare or Cicero I'm OK with it but Grace Hopper was alive in my

If you're using a product in a manner inconsistent with the specs, you should only do a write-up if it works. Otherwise it's a lot of drivel about how an elephant can't fly.

Haha of course.

Perhaps a better example would be "he was born on third base and thought he hit a home run," vs. "he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth." The latter is easy to figure out but unless you know about baseball it&#x27

Some of it is too much though. Why are those black stickers on there covering up parts of the components? It's like they were ashamed of the schematic or something.

Are you in the US? It’s only in the US where construction has gotten slower over the decades. Everywhere else it’s gotten faster.

It’s much better this way. The cost borne to the driver was very high and now he will probably not do this ever again, instead of needing to be told.

Because they’re mostly working remotely. Most hackers using Macs aren’t writing Mac software, they’re writing server side software.

But this is exactly how Apple products are (and some others, like Dropbox and Toyota). It’s the same core concept as what you can get elsewhere, but much more reliable with less user fussing/configurability.

A reminder that just because WFH is in an employee’s interest doesn’t mean it’s it in an employer’s interest and that the dynamics of this will be much like “employees want more money” — people with leverage will get it and people without i

Public companies have huge reporting requirements that require much greater audit/visibility into business activities and are also scrutinized much more closely in the press.

It's wild that Apple has gotten this close with an integrated GPU. This is really the best engineering organization on the planet attached to an extremely annoying marketing/ecosystem/revenue team.

This isn’t “drama” — it’s two coddled sons of a wealthy man being “dramatic” that their father willed the company to the Chief Strategy Officer instead of them.

This sounds like a genuinely useful product with terrible marketing/copywriting on the landing page. Make your next hire in product marketing.

If you are not making money from security you shouldn’t mess around with it at all. Too much downside and too little upside. Let the criminals ransomware the hospitals until society grows up and learns that they need security research.

This is the kind of company that Google has always been - eager to make money off you in dark alleyways and always eager to throw users to the piranhas when it's not worth their time anymore. The end result is for want of a few enginee
