But Apple did go public when the FBI was bothering them. They aren’t a little shop.

I 100% agree. There is a balance and also different dynamics based on the trajectory of the company. When a company is growing, you could have new blood and old hats. When a company is shrinking, everything sucks.

If that were the case, why wouldn’t Apple come out and say this is what is happening?

To add to this, the churn creates inefficiencies within companies since new employees need to onboard and can take as long as two years to truly understand what the heck is going on within the org.

If you have less churn, you have better efficiency and perhaps can get more done with fewer engineers.

Also interviewing and onboarding people takes a lot of time and effort from other employees, if it is being done right.

I don’t know to what degree this is happening but people staying in roles longer definitely helps. Even better if they are happy in those roles and not held hostage by a tougher job market.

It’s true but a lot of the reduction in price is having a mature manufacturing industry that the components can be sourced from.

I enjoy my car but I think the same way we have the ADA for public buildings, there should be some level of walkable areas nearly everywhere. I’m currently frustrated in my new location that there are random sidewalks that aren’t connected to each other and I have to walk on the street with traffic for a few hundred meters at a time.

I think eventually we run into a heat pollution problem. More efficient use of energy can grow a society as well.

I did not know in 600 million years trees would basically go extinct. Even if it is an incredibly far away time, I wonder what the gradual process will be.

100%? Is gitlab still remote? I know there are many others.

In my view and experience it works great for many companies. No massive problems.

Just wanted to point out that life likely introduced Oxygen into the atmosphere.

I enjoyed that video too.

If the point of colonization of Mars is to diversify where life is to avoid full extinction, we really need to think bigger. That channel is filled with examples of nearby Supernova and Quasars that could extinguish life in the solar system.

That timeline also opened my eyes to how long it took for the Cambrian explosion to occur.

And the results in Canada offer positive and negative examples to choose from when it comes to the current governments approach to indigenous issues.

I only say that to caution advocating for other countries to adopt the approach Canada has taken. I am of the view there were a lot of classic examples of well intentioned policies with disastrous results.

At the same time, I don’t know enough about the issue to offer alternative policy without worrying about the sensitivity of the issue.

Talk to enough MBAs and you realize most of them are following the same playbook. They all say and do the same things and no one cares as long as things aren’t disastrous. But it is the safer option and probably results in less innovation.

So the 7% cuts will continue until someone boldly breaks the mold and standardizes 8% and brands it “the rule of 8s” and preaches it at overpriced executive retreats.

Sure, but they can rebalance equities and carry those losses forward for years, reducing their taxable gains. They aren’t playing the same game as most of us.

Having cash and taking advantage of treasuries and other loans is providing pretty solid returns as well.

The rich people’s accountants have this covered for the most part, I think they will be fine.

Yes I’d love an update on this. That was a very bold claim.

There are some shady incentives for realtors when buying a home in the US. The seller and buyer agents often know each other and talk to each other in particular areas. They do favors for one another. Sometimes it helps you, sometimes it hurts you.

I consider them very similar to car dealers, but slightly better because good ones have a network to help buyers out. The commission they get is too high though.

Another individual was famous for this sort of tactic and caused a lot of damage to the local economy in Atlantic City.

Some countries don’t allow dual citizenship. Japan might be one. I know someone who had to give up their citizenship to be able to live with family when they turned 18. What you suggest would be cruel and provide little value.

Not great for who?

A few times in Europe no one would accept my ride and I just gave up and made other plans. I never had that problem in the US.

I’m guessing because adults aren’t developing as rapidly as babies it would not be significant, if any benefit. But someone would need to perform a study.

In regards to charging time, I would think physically switching batteries to a charged one (or many) would make a lot of sense. Just a new form of the current refueling process airplanes go through now.

I’ve more frequently encountered adults who are too large encroaching into my seat, which irritates me more. My last experience was sitting between two extremely large body builders on a red eye.

But sure, if that happens that could be annoying too.

Oh, I would love if they charge a lot for this and subsidize the price of my ticket in economy. I wear noise cancellation headphones on flights anyway.

The last flight I was on I saw two infants in first class not having a good day. I can imagine those who paid for first class were not happy. I thought about asking the flight attendant if anyone wanted to trade for my economy seat but decided against it. I didn’t want to annoy the flight attendant mostly.

Good point. And all units sold aren’t necessarily in active use. In some areas they may only be used on occasion.

You trust Google with your passwords? And you trust them more than 1Password, Apple, etc.?

I’d love to hear more about that statement.

Btw, I do this and sometimes stuff stops working suddenly when you block random telemetry. This applies to MS and Apple products.

In both California and New York I had to prove I had good credit to rent a half decent apartment. And I don’t blame the landlords, plenty of people sign leases and never pay. I think lots of people take advantage of a system that is designed to have protections for those who hit hard times.

I clicked that link and had that tab opened to read later. The idea that Parisian restaurants were serving bugs maliciously had me concerned. Your comment reminded me to check it out. It’s frustrating that I fell for clickbait in a blog about “trust”.
