Interesting given that JP Morgan lost $1B last year on the Apple card due to failing to correctly model the creditworthiness of customers. Also surprising that the 3% transaction fee on cards has held up for decades; one would expect that c

It's interesting (read: wrong) for an AI company to bother writing the user interface for their web application. This was a failure of integration testing and defensive design, whether the component was open-source or not. There'

Google, Apple, and perhaps 2-3 other companies, have the weird characteristic that they are unimaginably enormous, AND the vast majority of their value is actually goodwill. It's true that Apple makes good devices and Google does good

Some interesting quotes show how someone as brilliant as Knuth has enough self-understanding to adopt profound humility: "[when asked the meaning of life] I personally think of my belief that God exists, although I have no idea what th

Your value is worth nothing if you can't apply leverage to extract that value in a negotiation. The main leverage you have is your future value, not your present value. The company selects managers who are adept at extracting value fro
