Other product companies take note: the tide is turning on all this “tracking” nonsense. Clean up your house now or find yourself shamed into submission later. Consumers increasingly don’t care that “the lawyers said it was OK because it’s o

Radar isn’t going away. This article talks as if ADS-B is replacing radar, which it’s not. It’s enhancing radar where radar coverage exists and providing coverage on traffic where radar coverage currently does not exist (usually lower altit

There is a winter coming for the online ad model when more people realize, as this author has, that most online ad spend was probably a total waste. That combined with the increasing crackdown by the consumer on blocking data tracking raise

This DNA testing stuff intrigues me but there’s too much shady stuff going on with the data afterwards for me to want to give it a go. A lot of this “consumer grade” DNA testing may go down in history as a great product foiled by doing shor

Status only matters if the other party cares about it. The ultimate status game is truly showing that you don’t care that the other person is X, has done X, their dad/uncle is X, wants you to think X but rather are dealing with the per

Legit service animals are very well behaved and never a problem. There’s no question though that this issue of pets masquerading as service animals has become a big problem. Makes sense that places are starting to crack down.

Given the velocity it was going the capsule popping off the top basically turned the rest of the rocket into a supersonic flying brick. The amount of drag would be enormous and the rest of the ship basically just tore itself apart. As soon

The flip side is that top talent won’t want to put up with the BS so a lot of these companies end up shooting themselves in the foot to save a few bucks on recruiting.

I was interested in medicine in high school. I was able to shadow a few physicians and talk about career options. At the time I was shocked that most of the physicians I talked to said they would take a different career path if they could d

Apple is clearly taking a position that some of the other big players can’t, and all indications are that they will squeeze this play very hard. The likes of Google have rough waters ahead. Advertising on the internet is obviously here to s

These results are misleading for the same reasons why Microsoft’s market share claims are misleading. Microsoft counts things like Office 365 and Azure AD as “cloud.” If you look at people truly using their cloud products in terms of things

Milk as a beverage is in decline, but milk as a product has been steadily growing as a raw material (cheese, yoghurt, etc.) The companies in trouble are those that were too concentrated in beverage milk and failed to diversify their busines

The major fallacy I often see is that people driven by “status and prestige” often fail to realize that those they are hoping to impress don’t care as much about these things. It’s a bit like LinkedIn. Lots of people are on LinkedIn trying

I look at these headlines a few ways: 1. People have been saying next year is going to be total doom and gloom just about every year since around 2011 or so. 2. They’ve all basically been wrong up until now and if you got scared and sold ou

Term sheet isn’t a deal. Same way an “accepted offer” on a house isn’t a purchase contract until you have an actual contract. Clearly SoftBanks is having its challenges but this just sounds like normal deals falling apart during pre-closing

Certain high achievers in their career use their career as a cover for general failings in other parts of their life. I’ve seen it a few times and it ends badly when it all finally catches up to them, often too late in life to do much about

It’s usually either those that spend a lot of total dollars with United or in some cases “influencers” in a company like the head of travel that control a lot of spend.

This era is gradually coming to an end as the airlines now heavily weight status to how much $ you give them each year vs how many “miles” you fly. It’s freaking some people out but at some level it makes sense that the amount of free stuf

The premium, and highly profitable, market leader is more expensive than other offerings that are trying to play catch-up on market share. This is not exactly a groundbreaking or unknown finding. BMWs also cost more then Fiat’s Also, AWS ha

“Private pilots are enough of an additional risk that life insurance will charge extra if you are one.” That’s often not true. They do ask and you have to provide records but it doesn’t necessarily impact rates. Pilots are generally wealthi

For charter flights things along those lines already exist. For example hopping a ride on empty leg repositioning routes. For truly private jet flights it can be trickier. Many truly private jets operate as private flight operations under p

It makes sense... I mean just look at stock trading. Manual stock traders used to be a high paying profession and now it’s a job that’s almost entirely been replaced by automation. It’s not a ‘could’ in the future but something that’s alrea

Well if someone wasn’t following procedures then I suppose anything is possible. But the general premise of the article (that ‘fumes’ are making their way back into perfectly good buildings via the plumbing) is problematic.

Sounds like the building has other more serious plumbing issues. Gasses and odors of any type shouldn’t be able to work their way back into a building via the sewer pipes. The pipes in the building can’t leak and that’s one of the reasons w

There’s little question WeWork was a train wreck from a corporate governance and oversight standpoint. Less clear if anything criminal happened but let’s wait and see what the AG comes up with.
