If you ever get around to write a deeper blog with granular detailing on how you achieved it, I would surely read it. I love Belkin products, but it's perverse that external device…

Oh but for an alternative to Excel Purged I would have All things Microsoft from my (controllable) world

I doubt the events at the retreat were the only cause for his firing. Creative folks are usually given much wider leeway compared to the bean counters. It feels like somebody in se…

He has been set free, but his entire life has been destroyed by this "subtle" mistake. Once you have spent time, no employer will touch you with a barge pole. (innocence not withst…

I kinda felt it was satire, but then the below quote threw me off: > one vendor’s marketing team, cc’d on the cost anomaly alert, issues a press release citing “a 430% YoY increase…

Unfortunately all govt. bodies have been tampering with the economic indicators due to political pressure. Small tweaks to macro-economic calculations, can turn into a huge diverge…

Yes, exactly. Price hikes mid-cycle is not something I have seen Apple do historically. If true, one reason could be that: Cook is retiring, while Ternus is on his way in. Ternus w…

>I also do not think they’re going to raise the prices of existing products mid-cycle This surprised me too. I'd accepted that price hikes were coming for the new range...that's ex…

I would consider your two statements as distinct and separate: > "in a business that is clearly managed by too ambitious people and will never succeed" > "given that you are legall…

Is there any info on what these "certain capabilities" are?

Ah ok. Sorry, I misread your comment then :)

I reckon OP means quotes like these: Manhoff captures the scarcity of consumer goods, the omnipresent surveillance, and the ever-present fear of being monitored by the Soviet secur…

Fun game. But please don't leave it on in the background while moving on to other tasks. Pretty much killed my venerable i7 mac.

He also allegedly submitted business manager visa applications for at least six Sri Lankan nationals by listing them as company presidents on paper, even though they actually worke…

Apart from Woz, I don't consider the rest of the individuals as nerds at all. Those are loan sharks in the garb of nerds. Capitalizing the work of others, Cannibalizing smaller ent…

Agreed. I personally don't like the S-shaped ones. But ended up buying one cos there was none else in the store.

Participants were 529 undergraduate business students with a mean age of 18.14 years I find this participant set pointless. Most kids who were with me in college dreamt of owning m…

Yes. This distinction is important. As a lay person, I have limited knowledge of this field, yet am extremely interested. Unfortunately AI gen content is being used widely to sprea…
