Maybe I’m misremembering but I feel like Steve Jobs era Apple was much better at admitting mistakes. Nowadays even fiascos like the butterfly keyboard don’t warrant an apology, just a quiet change.

The one time I flew from Austin, there was a band playing at a restaurant in the ticketed area. Going through security it was bad (you could only really hear the drums) but once I was through it was downright painful. Really makes you wonde

I’ve witnessed some of the most talented leaders of my generation hit rock bottom due to burnout—hustling through the grind at 4 AM, hungry for that next breakthrough. These are the visionary disruptors, chasing that high-level synergy betw

Isn't that the point of X-ray spectroscopy? As a layperson I don't know of any point in trying to "photograph" a single atom, but surely being able to do spectroscopy on a single atom is really useful.

It's quite clear to me that tech companies know that reneging on WFH will cause some employees to leave. I think that this is actually the entire point. You can do a soft layoff, without ever having to say the word layoff, and without

Radio Free Asia has repeatedly put out exaggerated or sensational claims about North Korea, at least some of which have turned out to be false. Nobody is endorsing NK, executions, etc.
