    A bad trackpad really renders any laptop useless IMO.

    Ah that's different then. I'm wrong.

    > you weren't in a short car, you were in a normal car What's normal can change. Today, 37% of used registrations in the US are sedans and about 18% of new registrations.

    Have a truck with a light bar. But it's for offroad use only. I'd never drive with it on regular roads with traffic around me.

    > It's a deceptive way to sell people less game. That's a dumb take. The buying phase is an integral part of the game mode. And the game is free .

    Would be interested in hearing more about (and maybe joining) the manager peer group if that's a possibility.

    Is there a way to dig up old GeoCities pages? My only thought is to remember the URL and get it from internet archive but I can't remember my 4 digit number. I think I was in the "…

    Smart glasses will have the potential to cover more use cases than a smart phone ever did due to the potential of AR-enabled viewing display.

    Lol record high stock price, fiercest competitor banned, and cutting 5% of under performers. They're thriving from a business vitality perspective.

    Most large tech companies require the manager to write some sort of a promo packet to be reviewed by a relevant committee. But it's not a mystery and ultimately it falls on the man…

    Do they buy-and-resell or do they just provide a front for the ticket-buying flow with their own fees added on top?

    The general "not paying attention" is hard to prove.

    You said 1 or 2 people who aren't executives. There's way more than 1-2 E7s at Meta, as an example.
