A bad trackpad really renders any laptop useless IMO.

Ah that's different then. I'm wrong.

Yeah it's wild to me that they'd consider going with some first gen startup solution for what is ultimately their most important professional device. And it's starting at $2k so it's not like it's insanely cheap eit

Have a truck with a light bar. But it's for offroad use only. I'd never drive with it on regular roads with traffic around me.

> It's a deceptive way to sell people less game. That's a dumb take. The buying phase is an integral part of the game mode. And the game is free .

Would be interested in hearing more about (and maybe joining) the manager peer group if that's a possibility.

Is there a way to dig up old GeoCities pages? My only thought is to remember the URL and get it from internet archive but I can't remember my 4 digit number. I think I was in the "Baja" area.

Smart glasses will have the potential to cover more use cases than a smart phone ever did due to the potential of AR-enabled viewing display.

Lol record high stock price, fiercest competitor banned, and cutting 5% of under performers. They're thriving from a business vitality perspective.

Most large tech companies require the manager to write some sort of a promo packet to be reviewed by a relevant committee. But it's not a mystery and ultimately it falls on the manager to put together a strong packet that makes it clea

Let me rephrase: Cyclists are maniacs at a much higher % than drivers. I say this with no data.

Do they buy-and-resell or do they just provide a front for the ticket-buying flow with their own fees added on top?

Let me generalize on your behalf: Cyclists are maniacs. They want to be given the equal respect of cars in traffic but absolutely don't follow the same rules.

The general "not paying attention" is hard to prove.

Many people clearly love them and have found great utility using them. Not sure what point you're trying to make - that you're different?

You said 1 or 2 people who aren't executives. There's way more than 1-2 E7s at Meta, as an example.

See levels.fyi. The pay levels for FAANG companies are fairly accurate. But you'd have to be something like L7/E7 level at a Meta/Google to break $1M. Also note that some comp numbers get heavily inflated by people incorporat

The argument that a startup could be the next FAANG is anchored in lottery-like odds.

I won't buy a Tesla due to Elon's antics. But it's not some attempt to punish him. It's because I don't trust him to be a stable long term owner of the company that is building and servicing my car. I could see myse

For me it's not about bankrolling Elon. It's about not wanting to sink a ton of money and become critically dependent on something that is built and serviced by visibly erratic ownership. If Elon was making toasters I wouldn'

Because first impressions matter. See the current perception of Gemini and its "woke parameters".
