He really had me at the helicopter, too. I just had to smile, it made me happy.

Thanks for mentioning the "Seinfeld strategy", just googled it. Love it. Might just use it to plan my January.

I think it got stale when Ive didn't have Jobs as a counterpart. Or vice versa. Once Cook & Ive didn't seem to have the same relationship, things stopped working. But I agree that Apple is doing quite well again with the M1-er

I think your comment on Jobs being Ives editor is spot on. They worked as a team and complemented each others shortcomings (at least to a degree). There was apparently never this kind of relationship between Cook and Ive. But to say Apple k

Just taking notes by hand seems to improve my memorization & understanding. (business context, not school for me) But going over my notes again in a timely fashion (<24 to 36 hours) seems to improve them a lot (sometimes just an addi

The original one yes (TR7), but a different company (Sansez) has started producing it (informally called TRS). First tests look surprisingly good, so there's hoping...

Right? Some Muji notebooks punch way above their price-class.

Agreed. Midori paper is shockingly good. And it works so well with fountain pens. Definitely recommended.

Check out Mikrotik. Quite similar range of products to Ubiquiti, very configureable, maybe it fits your needs...

I've learned that "old" is just a sliding scale. When I was in my teens, I considered 30 old. When I was in my 20s, I considered 40 old. And so on. Don't get too hung up on the exact number. Also, there's a physica

Do people realise that Antifa simply means Anti-Fascist? Its origin is Antifaschistische Aktion during the Weimar Republic, though the current movement is ideologically a bit different. Still, it seems that "antifa" has been poli

Youtube's copyright system doesn't seem to work at all. This guys Channel got copyright claimed for a second time and he pretty clearly shows that it was done in a way, where SONY (who claimed the copyright) get to keep an arbitra

Nope, sorry, this isn't accurate at all.

It's a common scenario, unfortunately. Synology RAID is nice. External USB on the same power circuit is not a good idea. Actually, I'd look at least into a surge protector. But it's quite possible to have those blow up and st

That's how democracy works. The parliament is chosen by the people as well. Sometimes interpretation is necessary, as the referendums are vague or well written. Still better to be able to voice one's opinion. What's the alte

To each of those individual data points, I can give you counter-examples that do not support this theory. It's actually extremely common for women to work. Usually a couple (with kids) works each 80% or some other kind of combination

Ah come on, that's just not based in reality. I'm Swiss and in all the companies I've worked, there were a lot of women working. Many of them taking advantage of the option to work 60% or 80% (as men do too).

If you work in IT, you well may be "worth the trouble", because you probably have more access than a "normal" user. First you try to compromise someone in the IT department, then someone in the C-Suite. Goes for social e

This works on a national level. Switzerland does it too. But I don't want to read only Swiss Newspapers, I wanna read the NYT and The Times etc. as well. I do think that the digital pass idea is worth thinking about more.

Exactly. In Brazil, there are quite a few big buildings build with this methodology (long wells that cool the air). I can think of one hospital in the northeast, one big factory (printing business) near São Paulo, etc. It works exceptional

In Switzerland it's hit and miss. New buildings usually have good air conditioning, but anything a bit older doesn't. And there are a lot of older buildings in Switzerland. It's a country that has 4 very pronounced seasons, s

Have you considered switching your desk with someone who likes it colder? I, for one, would jump at the opportunity. Maybe some of your co-workers would too..

It's actually the percentage of (+1) minus the percentage of (-1). 7-8's are literally not being counted (as you said 0's). Imagine if 990/1000 give 7 or 8. Out of the remaining 10, 7 give a 9 and 3 any number below 6.
