> Can't believe they flew all these people in to play them a video. Apple can't afford to have demo problems or presentation glitches anymore. Hence the system that they have now.

＞how paper-money-driven Japan is. JFYI, over 50% of payments in Japan in 2026 are digital now. So not as high as other markets but certainly much less paper money than pre-pandemic. https://www.meti.go.jp/english/press&

Almost every convenience store in Japan has a public toilet. Yes, it is polite to purchase something but it's not required. Some even have bidet function.

Solitude by choice is one thing. Leaving when you want to, returning to a life with more connections, etc. These men are probably doing this job because it is work they can get.

I think it looks romantic from the perspective of someone in a major metro area. But long term, that sort of lifestyle is only for the people who can really endure that. After a while I think most would not want that remoteness.

The best forums still have users and traffic. For instance, for Toyota Land Cruiser owners, the best information has always been at ih8mud. Reddit doesnt hold a candle to Mud for the depth of information available (for that community.)

Did you look at Patagonia Inc. as an example? I wasn't aware of the new book but am more interested in it now.

> the system is designed so that VCs keep winning The way around that is to not take VC money. There are some (not many) startups that got to unicorn status by bootstrapping and not taking outside money. It's harder, yes, but in a w

The R1 is a body on frame, so a traditional truck chassis. This new R2 is a unibody- so more of a car, less so a truck

The famous case I always bring up is the accident with the USS John McCain. The US Navy tried screens but due to this accident and other reasons has gone back to mechanical controls. Cars can have some screens but key controls (HVAC, car sa

Good Riddance to Alan Dye. Tim Cook- if you do one thing before you retire- promote the right person to fix both MacOS and iOS. They're both in need of a lot of work to fix.

I've been on Apple since the 1980s. Apple IIc was my first Apple. Since a few years ago, I've chosen to stay at least 1 full version behind the current version and I've never regretted that.
