Why leave tech? Just imagine what you want to change about your job and find an employer that fits that criteria.

What are you missing? A whole lot from the sound of it. There is so much variety out there it's incredible. There's software behind every industry and product you can imagine. Manufacturing, construction, chemistry, pharmaceutical

Apple's stock is up over 1000% in the 10 years since Tim Cook became CEO. Over that time it went from a $350B company to a $2.7T company. He oversaw the creation of over $2T in value and his net worth is in the low single digit billio

My point is only that there is a valid argument to be had here. Not that it is so clearly foregone that only irrational fanboys would defend Apple’s position. That position is a straw man which is unproductive toward the discussion. Whether

Just a counter point. Apple can charge what it wants. So can Microsoft. So can Sony. So can Nintendo. So can Valve. So can Epic. They all take a cut for access. In many cases it’s exactly the same as Apple’s, 30%. They also have total contr

Bigger, name brand tech companies have way more applicants than they can accept so they have a crude recruiter funnel that is tossing out resumes for any reason they can find. They're literally trying to turn thousands of resumes from

The San Francisco Bay Area will almost always be the most financially beneficial choice if you can get a job at one of the top tech companies. Not only because your initial job will pay well, but you will also have many more high paying alt

This assumes a perfectly efficient market with no opportunity for arbitrage. Sometimes what you can get in rent is less than what it costs to maintain a property, but it’s still better than letting it remain empty. Assuming the owner is eve

I’d look at incidents per flight hour. Some of those 737s have been in the air for decades. I suspect the numbers for the 737 MAX will stand out more on this analysis.

IMO the manager’s job is never to subtask. That’s micromanagement. If you set a clear context for the team they will be best able to deliver the results you want. I’d go so far to say they can’t deliver the results you want without clear co

Regarding the first question, fundamentally you can’t “prove” a number is truly random. Even if a number or sequence is completely not random looking (e.g. a valid copy of Windows 98), there is a chance it really is random and coincidental.

What value would Apple add to Tesla? Apple CarPlay is available from most manufacturers already. Maybe they could negotiate better with suppliers? If Netflix takes a hit like is predicted in the article maybe Apple should buy that? They alr

At the risk of sounding nationalistic, I think companies in the United States and other democratic countries should reconsider any and all business relationships with authoritarian regimes like those in China and Russia. And I say regimes b

Sorry, a world where every tool is riddled with security holes by default and every developer needs to learn them inside and out to close them all through configuration is a ridiculous burden. Is it really that difficult to require someone

Insecure by default is flawed by default. Unless a product requires certification to use it can’t rely on expert knowledge to provide safety.

I think that may be the opposite of irony. It's foretelling if he's not 100% sure what's been approved. Speakers at large companies must get the entire content of their public presentations approved by PR and upper management

That's true everywhere. Nowhere solves 100% of its criminal cases. You must watch too many police procedural TV shows if you think the cops just march out of the office and catch the bad guy by the end of every episode. Lots of times v
