I read the website but can’t tell — does it support pinch to zoom? Would make life easier when using Figma - I currently have to take my hand off of my mouse and put it on my laptop, which is on a stand :-/

The value is in finding a critic who aligns with your tastes. Once you’ve found them, you can learn about (or avoid) all kinds of art you wouldn’t have known about before.

Based on blunder after blunder since taking over, it has become so obvious that Elon isn’t qualified to run a company. So how has Tesla and SpaceX succeeded?

Can you explain why? Obviously the current system isn’t producing competent ones either.

We’ve know for decades - take money out of politics and make it about civil service. To do so requires campaign finance reform (limits on spending and sources of $) as well as making lobbying illegal

What are you looking to do with Apple TV that you can’t do?

How do you switch the Home Screen to TV guide? I googled this but couldn’t find it.

> Michael Jordan is an interesting example because he eventually did stop playing for the Bulls (because he retired) and then it took the Bulls six years before they made the playoffs again.

I don’t see how this is a counterpoint. 100/100 NBA fans, players, and executives would take paying MJ and winning six in a row if the trade off was not making the playoffs for six years after. Are you saying it would have been better for the Bulls to not pay MJ, not win any championships, but consistently make the playoffs for 12 years instead?

Pay the heroes what they’re worth. Imagine if the Bulls let Michael Jordan join another team because they wanted to discourage heroism.

Doesn’t seem to be working?

Ok, sorry about that.

What incentive do these companies have to circumvent their standard hiring procedures for you? I freelanced for nearly a decade. My guess is that they’re just not that interested in you. If you bring something valuable to the table, they will go out of their way to hire you as a freelancer directly on your terms. If you go to them and say “hire me, except FYI I’m working on my own time, schedule, and fee structure” but don’t bring much much more to the table than their FT folks, why should they?

In a way. Kind of like how burlap sacks and starvation were fashionable during the Depression era.

You first?

> I know people well into 8-figures who were never anything more than blue-collar grinders.

Can you elaborate? I don’t see how that’s possible unless they started work in their early 20s, have been maxing their retirement, never had an accident or have been unemployed, made incredible investment decisions, and are now 60+? Even then I dont see how it’s possible for blue collar folks. Well into 8 figures is like … at least 30 million.

People have been saying that for 50 years and it hasn’t happened in the US. Upward pressure on wages will result in interest rate increases to manufacture unemployment and keep wages down.

So tired of hearing how America is a free market. Supply / demand doesn’t matter here. We’re all owned by the banks, and ultimately the Fed and government pick the winners and losers.

That’s not evident at all, just your biases talking LOUD.

I thought he was a billionaire too but according to my Google searches his net worth is actually closer to $100m.

I for one wish there were fewer people around chiding others with tired platitudes for not living their day-to-day lives like someone with $100m in their pocket.

I would test that assumption. At big tech firms you’re going to be competing with tens of thousands of other applicants who have the same idea as you. There are lots of lesser known midsized companies that sponsor visas where there will be much less competition (and less pay).

Let’s be honest, the only reason anyone is trying to work for big tech is the outsized comp.

Marijuana is less dangerous to lungs than tobacco.

> Tobacco has dramatic negative consequences for those who smoke it. In addition to its high addiction potential [1], tobacco is causally associated with over 400,000 deaths yearly in the United States, and has a significant negative effect on health in general [2]. More specifically, over 140,000 lung-related deaths in 2001 were attributed to tobacco smoke [3]. Comparable consequences would naturally be expected from cannabis smoking since the burning of plant material in the form of cigarettes generates a large variety of compounds that possess numerous biological activities [4].

> While cannabis smoke has been implicated in respiratory dysfunction, including the conversion of respiratory cells to what appears to be a pre-cancerous state [5], it has not been causally linked with tobacco related cancers [6] such as lung, colon or rectal cancers. Recently, Hashibe et al [7] carried out an epidemiological analysis of marijuana smoking and cancer. A connection between marijuana smoking and lung or colorectal cancer was not observed. These conclusions are reinforced by the recent work of Tashkin and coworkers [8] who were unable to demonstrate a cannabis smoke and lung cancer link, despite clearly demonstrating cannabis smoke-induced cellular damage.

> Furthermore, compounds found in cannabis have been shown to kill numerous cancer types including: lung cancer [9], breast and prostate [10], leukemia and lymphoma [11], glioma [12], skin cancer [13], and pheochromocytoma [14]. The effects of cannabinoids are complex and sometimes contradicting, often exhibiting biphasic responses. For example, in contrast to the tumor killing properties mentioned above, low doses of THC may stimulate the growth of lung cancer cells in vitro [15].

I’m having trouble believing this. You’re saying restaurant workers are expecting tips from the delivery drivers coming to their restaurant for pickup? I’ve only ever seen drivers show up, confirm their identity and orders to the restaurant workers via an app, take the food, and leave.

It seems like promoting a fairer society is a priority for you, given your focus on paying fair wages. That’s great! Please consider extending that desire to serving people who do not have credit cards or bank accounts (or crypto …) Plenty of them exist and like coffee too.

It is entirely reasonable to be concerned for the development of a child whose mother is on the verge of becoming a convict felon and serving a long prison sentence.

This is obviously an advertisement, containing very little information, for a paid "club" of questionable value. Flagged.

What are the many and better ways? Social media certainly isn't one of them. Subscription email also shouldn't go to junkmail unless you're doing something very wrong.

I recommend reading about the term Banana Republic.

Is this different from a staging environment?
