Is that really "widespread/mainstream" though? Podcasts listening is pretty huge; in the US "38% of those age 12+ in the U.S. are monthly podcast listeners" (ref: https://www.edisonresearch.com/the-i

I can't believe it took this much scrolling to find a reasonable take. I think personal preference is clouding people's judgement. Of course it will depend on your employer and how much the office was part of company culture prior

Huh? Maybe you're not understanding that a Y towing a Y is netting you fewer total miles in the long run than just driving a single Y. There's no reason to do what you're proposing. A simple exercise to prove this to yourse

The top 1% by what? Income? Here's another one: the top 0.001% make 0% of the income and pay 0% of the taxes.

The intention was not to create tax shelters for the ultra-wealthy. Hence the income limits. Thiel used a loophole to grow his wealth using the Roth as the vehicle.

Then why do it at all? What would possibly justify such a large investment of capital if Google didn't believe it to be a potentially nontrivial contributor of future revenue?

I wonder how much faster the 13" MBP with M1 will be compared to the M1 MBA? Comparing the i7 MBA and the i7 13" MBP to the M1 MBA may give us some clues: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare&#x2F

Optimistically: I suspect the reason they didn't upgrade the 16" pro is because of the RAM story. In other words: no 16" w/ the M1 is an acknowledgment that configurations with 32gb (and hopefully 64gb) of RAM are not re

This would make sense given the pricing, too. For example, the $1,249 air is very similar to the $1,299 pro. The MBA has a bigger SSD, but the MBP has a bigger battery, isn't throttled (i.e. has a fan), and also has the touchbar (which
