Only to a small extend. Mostly it happens in software. And no it's not just "overhiring" (that doesn't happen across so many industries). That's only part of it. We all know with AI we won't need white collar j

Narcissist who don't care about other people do. The 'good friend' was to get favours, not actual friendliness.

Even if this WERE true, it is an owner/CEO-all-but-in-name-only's job to make sure their owned company doesn't die. So he fails on that too.

Why did that surprise you? Goldman Sachs makes it money with anything but consumer banking after all. Genuine question.

What you describe for your particular Amex card isn't a real credit card either. That's a charge card. Germany doesn't do real credit cards much (if at all?)

Per app DOWNLOAD (Free + Paid Apps)? I assume that includes clicks on adds in the Play Store and outside leading into the playstore? I just can't believe that number to be correct unless there's a lot of different money inflow sou

Is the Sikorsky helicopter-style naming a trademark violation?

I am sorry but automated or not, I don't see how aerial refueling could ever be made as safe as on-ground refueling by just the nature of two moving planes in the air rather than sitting immovable on the ground with just a hose or hose

Google founders have 51% of voting power. Nothing happens from public shareholders without their consent.

One huge shitshow that proved immaturity of OpenAI. But hey, at least now every soul on the planet knows Sam Altman. So there's that.

Why people prefer to use a web browser from an ad company is beyond me. I never ever understood Chrome's huge fanbase.

Indeed. Silicon Valley's big "meritocracy" that is always so lauded.

Great that it takes people months nowadays interviewing to get hired for a mid level role, but apparently you can offer a half dozen people unvested, uninterviewed CEO roles at a billion dollar company on a whim. Fun how that goes.

That's because they're the only adult in the room and mature company with mature management. Boring, I know. But sometimes experience actually pays off.

So true. On the other end of the spectrum... I just got denied an interview with a company for an SVP Product (!) role because "they are looking for someone with hands on ML experience". Why you'd need that in a leadership ro

There's really no good reason to use Google for anything where there's competition. I use Google for Youtube (no competition), Search and Maps (not very competitive offers by MSFT and AAPL yet getting better every day while Google

Because of low density. If a three person family lives on a 1000sqm plot of land rather than say 300 or 3000 in a skyscraper on the same plot, you inevitably have a harder time providing essential services. Hence the need to drive, built la

I mean with all due respect, there is zero innovation in Mobile left. None. Absolutely nothing is changing from Apple, Google, Samsung year over year. The updates are so incredibly tiny you have to look at it with a loupe. And the price is

At this point one year would make the most sense. I loathe updating my iDevices nowadays (and have completely stopped wasting time on betas et al). Every update fixes one thing, breaks another. Silly stuff too like: oh, on your Apple Watch

Not every founder is a sole engineer who codes on their own.

I lost $20,000 on that shit with various scams (e.g. Terra Luna etc). Never will I tough crypto again and I warn everyone who is potentially falling for the bullshit that is 'web3'. Blockchain technologies are like Elon's Ful

To each their own. I prefer to know which app will open when I double click a file. Seems Apple agrees as that's how it's working on macOS.

Why do you compare a self-built desktop PC with a Mac notebook? I fail to see anything they have in common.

I will never waste money on a Sandisk SSD again. My last one stopped working out of nowhere. Much happier with my Crucial X10.

If they were even semi-decent, people would use them. They don't as they aren't. Very simple market dynamics.

Ah yes. Another company doing firing of people as cheaply and cheekily as possible by making them quit "voluntarily".
