Apple claimed during WWDC ‘22 that 79% of U.S. buyers would only buy a car if it was “CarPlay-capable”. Biased source, sure, but the data indicates most consumers value music, maps…

Even if there is a chance it’s all a mirage, wouldn’t it be better to behave as if these and other creatures have an inner life? Appealing to the philosophical zombie seems like an…

On focal depth: In the real world you can look at an object close up and your eyes will adjust so that it is clear and objects at other ranges are blurry. Then, when you look at an…

I worked at FB in a partner team and this isn’t exactly what happened. When these products were chartered Clubhouse was in the middle of a massive upswing and the industry was conv…

Do you have a position on a better alternative business model, or do you feel that a service like YouTube shouldn't exist? It seems to me that YouTube and many of the ad-supported …

They also say, "We're in the business of making software, and a few tangential things that touch that edge." Advocacy on the policies of one of the world's foremost software distri…

There are pros and cons to growing up in a smaller metro. While having access to top tier culture and internships are great, there’s also a grueling competition to stand out. In SV…

This accounting, while pointed, aligns with most of the reporting and the facts of the case. I spent some months at Oberlin years ago in close contact with student organizers there…

I hope it is canon that Count Chocula turns to "chocolate cereal dust" upon death.

FTA: "The opportunity cost is even greater: Investors in the S&P 500 have seen their money grow by 50% over the same period." At this point, any retail investor can buy into Uber a…
