Exactly, this is an atribute that comes out of societies not inherant nature.

To soften this a little bit, and I mean a very little. The youth unemployment numbers are hard to judge, could be right but it is hard to tell on the outside. The fertility figures…

Booooing intesifies!

This is the asymmetric nature of people. The needs/wants of today out rule those of tomorrow even if it means making tomorrow worse. It is not set in stone but it is very prevalent…

China has been tipped to fail any time now for the last 25 years. They have long term issues but they will play out over long term results. A whimper rather than a boom!

Their problems always seem to look worse than it should be but functions better than expected.

I will offer somewhat opposite. My father had 4 kids and at my age looks roughly the same. That is look like we where/are in our late 20's at age 40. Genetics goes a long way.

Right on. Just because a company provides a lot of apparent value doesn't mean they should be exempt from these kinds of regulations.

Bingo! Now that they are a key part of the industrial complex, good money can be thrown at bad and it will all still work out. Not saying that is what they are doing but they are n…

1 to 2 orders of magnitude? ... Falcon Heavy launches nowadays run at approximately $40-70 million each. So you are implying that others cost minimum $400 to $4 billion per launch!…

Like we have. Moved a lot from radio over to the internet. Highly focused communication.

That is very fair. It felt like Gil had some good ideas, had a reasonably good feel for what needed to be done, just didn't have the intuition to execute it well. Jobs did. In a wa…

While I was very skeptical of the base claims of LK99 (extrodinary evidence required), I did sort of fall a little bit for the hype of what this kind of material could be used for.…

One amission that I always see from this period of Apple is the impact of Gil Amelio's decisions and how much gets attributed to Jobs. This is not to undermine Jobs, he was absolut…

It is an idea that many floated as soon as Greta turned up in the news. They didn't like the message, so they decided to attack her rather than the ideas. Use some media based pare…

Exactly. At most, make a note of it, tackle it the next day. Work to live, don't live to work and all of that.

I saw that on youtube once I saw something that is this idea flipped on its head. It was two folks, one of them was trying to talk to the other about politics, the other just shoot…

Someone once said to me, it is easy to be enlightened when you have a full belly. In the same vein, it is easy to grant social gains when in easy times. But we are in the liminal s…

Kind of not surprised that True Crime NY is like that. It felt like a title that was a little strapped together and yet could push the hardware in unique ways at the same time.

I have heard this every month for the last decade.

Thank you for the clear explanation! I love it!

I think that is the crux of it. New features are either not that big of a leap any more or are to nebulous to be a big attraction. Things like iPhone 14 satellite SOS calls. Neat t…

Pretty much. My phone is an Oppo... something. If I benchmark it, it is considered very slow but in general use I never hit the ceiling. A part of all this more starts to look the …

First thing that comes to mind is like twisted pairing on cables. Distributes the external/internal forces more equally. Is it anything like this?

I will always appreciate the old jokes like this. Never apologies for them no matter how cheesy! My favorite from the 90's was, what does a computer and an air conditioner have in …
