Hospitals need to be connected. They need to send and receive EMRs from other hospitals. They need to receive security updates for their own software (eg Windows has a Bluetooth vu…

Airplane logistics are already tremendously complicated without trying to chase down personal effects that are hopping from country to country. It's just not going to be a high pri…

Not sure about that. Plumbers make a lot of money.

Of course they do! You want to spend every minute you can with them and start cutting whatever corners you can with everything else.

You need a desktop app when 1) you’re spending a ton of time in the app or 2) you need every ounce of performance and feature set that you can obtain and 3) you’re willing to pay f…

Naw ban me. We’ll both be better off

Elon Musk is the guy who bets his house at the roulette table. It’s been working out for him so far but one day he’s going to step into some shit his money can’t get him out of and…

If you do that you also have to disregard the other myriad ways in which Indianapolis is a better place to live than SF.

They don’t need to pay SF rates. 100K in Indianapolis buys you a way better standard of living than 200K in SF.

One thing that’s always been very important to Apple’s marketing is the sense that the coolest people in the world use Macs. The positioning has always been “Well that CEO has a PC…

Nobody knows what a barrel of oil will cost next year so any claims about the future price of Bitcoin come from someone who is trying to scam you.

Costco/Walmart is an inaccurate bucketing because they are completely different stores tailored to entirely opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum.

The problem is that Apple has no way of truly controlling what someone does with data once they have it.

I wonder if there is an exception for execs. At a previous employer it was quite common for a big piece of news to be announced by a senior exec and then have the CEO and other exe…

Imagine a college educated family of anti war hippies whose son applies to West Point. I don’t think you’d be shocked to hear that a parent hid the acceptance letter. Very simply, …

And the flip side of this is that if you have really dedicated parents then they can often overcome huge amounts (although not unbounded amounts) of privation to help their childre…

Facebook isn’t trying to maximize your enjoyment, they’re trying to maximize their profits. By that measure they are doing vastly better than 12 years ago.

On the one hand, cops shouldn’t get to kill unlawfully and say “I was doing my job.” On the other hand, if an Amazon engineer checks in a bug and AWS goes down and a hospital loses…

There are very few people who want to wade through primary source data. I don't -- doing that is what journalists are paid for.

Well "trash" is a matter of opinion, but profitability isn't. If a community is left unmoderated, it gets so toxic and extreme that advertisers won't go near it with a 10 foot pole…

By natural resources I meant agricultural productivity.
