    If true, kudos to them for shrinking it all down to one word. Saying "grace" can be an event to itself at some meals.

    Not just users, but number of companies. So many startups list out all the companies using their products, who also happen to be an army of startups. I doubt they're all using each…

    This is a pretty fair comment. Their lack of ambition also has this downside. I've felt they are increasingly de-prioritizing the old iTunes business to focus on Apple TV+, which s…

    So many comments debating the philosophy around this. I like it when these type of sites open a new tab for me. Is there a way to just code in a toggle between the two link opening…

    A few reasons I'm staying positive towards Apple, despite being a streamer themselves, is that they're not large at all. They've currently remained a small, niche content provider …

    If you don't like calls, then ask the person requesting it to email/message you want you want to discuss and any decisions that you're hoping to make it from it before accepting it…

    I lived in China as an American a while back and had a similar take. Their ability to grow successfully and manage their populace definitely presented a new model to a lot of count…

    This is basically ageism. It's not accurate and should be coached out. Flip the question for a 25 year old: * Will they be on on-call or out partying with their friends? * Are they…

    I think it's fair to have principles and still have an interesting an active life. The best example of this would have to be, well, Ben Franklin.

    I attended in the late 80s, early 90s and originally thought my education was subpar relative to other states. As I got older, I realized my fundamentals were solid and I'd constan…

    If it helps you, think of the rate limiter as the "no" final boss.

    I used to count how many non-friend items there were between friend posts. If I recall correctly, my max count was 20. And similarly to you, when I do see something it's from 3 day…

    If you feel there are misrepresentations, then just pick one point and discuss that. I've worked in manufacturing-dependent companies and industries, and lived in China for years. …

    The fact that my technology-inhibited parents somehow chose one of the lesser used combinations has left me dumbfounded.

    I was also at Nokia during this time and recall OPK (Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo), during a visit to the Beijing office, giving a talk where he talked about the difficulties of pushing ne…

    As someone who was there, I recall numerous projects instituted to reduce the number of steps it took to even install an app on the device. It was mind-numbing to see what they wer…

    Earlier this year, I met some of the team behind the launch, and they love their job. They showed up with NASA pins for everyone, the geeked out over the launches, and just express…

    Don't take for granted the number of people who will enter a crowded market just because they think they can do it better.

    I could see how it might be used as a "memory" to some of these AI-generated workflows. As content is generated, having it stored, indexed, and easily discoverable would be importa…

    There is a whole generation that isn't even familiar with this concept, so you could honestly re-introduce it. It's "TikTok for Text!"

    I don't necessarily disagree with you, but coming in with the mindset is not always natural. We don't know where the poster grew up, their education, their background, etc. It's no…

    It's an interesting point about motivation and work load. My experience with burnout occurred at a time where I was regularly doing 60 hours / week, and enjoying it! The motivation…

    Facebook is an ad company, and if that market is declining, those cuts may come from non-technical groups meant to serve those accounts and markets. There are likely other programs…

    When I was in business school for my MBA, the human component was absolutely covered, and I suspect that is the case with many of them. Part of the problem may be though that there…
