Respectfully disagree. I feel like quality and selection at most Nordstroms I’ve been to recently has been much worse. Salespeople have been less knowledgeable and more pushy. Feels like they’ve moved from upmarket into a space more easily

But seriously, what’s the point of putting out this drivel. Isn’t the point of these statements to excite investors and potential big customers. Who in the publicity chain thinks these statements move anything closer to a goal?

I think this sort of thing is much harder to do in the modern digital world. It’s one thing when it’s one-way, magazine -> audience, and the current edition is off of newsstands in a month or two. Once you throw in forums and social med

I think more than tax what you need to be learning about/seeing if you can outsource is KYC.

Changing the name of a landmark or a species may require thoughtful consideration but not an organization. Companies change names all the time and a bad name drags an org doing good work down. Why should employees have to come to work in th

Not that MS is the poster child for chivalrous competition…but this level of desoerationjust signifies how important the battle for the branded browser is.

Anecdotally noticed the same.l with my 3.5 year old. Also in addition (pun intended) to what she’s learned it’s made her much more curious about a bunch of math concepts.

I find the ultra wealthy moving to avoid taxes pretty hilarious. It’s basically saying I have enough money to do whatever anything, except live/be where I’d like to. Even within the US I know many wannabe New Yorkers who count their da

This article is trash but the data from the research is actually interesting. Without CarPlay it’s still super easy to stream audio from any app and has been for a decade (sure maybe CarPlay makes it even easier?). It is interesting and con

Why is it so hard for Android OEMs to keep supporting their devices? I don’t buy that it’s just planned obsolescence. As Apple invests in making devices usable for longer and longer this doesn’t seem like a competitive move.

I always tip well because I get that tips are misplaced wages, but the tip economy is so messed up. A huge piece is that it's based on an asymmetry of information. I don't know how much a barista makes so I assume min wage and tip

I miss the “Under Construction” banners. It was ok to tell your visitors your site was a work in progress! (Also you generally had to publish and debug live.)

The rebranding really was disastrous. Echoing other comments, as someone who bought 6 packs largely for nostalgia or to reconnect with SF from the east coast the new packaging ruined that.

The White Stripes produced such a tight, complete, profound body of work and then somehow and the awareness and self-control to stop. Maybe it was just happenstance but it makes their limited catalog that much more timeless.

Pricing the headset at 7x the Quest seems like an Apple power move. Ordinarily if you’re 2nd or 3rd to a category you’d expect there to be pressure to price in the same ballpark. You want customers to compare but say the new product is wort

For me it was a matter of coming to 2 important realizations: 1) Not everything needs to be captured and preserved. My kids do dozens of things worthy of capturing every week, sometimes every day. While in the moment they all feel unique, “
