Tahoe running fine on my M3 ultra. The only issue on the studio and the laptop was the initial sluggishness that I ended up attributing to the first spotlight indexing. Nothing new then.

That’s super impressive. I guess that would work for a notification speaker. But for full sound I have doubts about the low frequencies. I would assume you would need a woofer anyway in a home setting.

I gather you haven't started your own business, or did yours start and die repeatedly?

Definitely going to be a smart follower on this one. My accountant pretty much convinced me to let others experiment if they want, on our end we have a peppol compatible system, so we'll enable the feature a few days before it becomes mandatory.

That's nice but it becomes really useful at global OS shortcut level. Those types of shortcuts have been a mainstay of my Alfred setup for a while.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

I love Arc but I'd like to see a path to sustainable monetization. I hope it's not another 9.99$ a month subscription on the horizon, though.

If Meta becomes "the Android of AR/VR", i.e. the cheaper, good enough alternative for most people, I'm pretty sure Zuck will be happy with this.

I recommend "to sell is human" by Daniel Pink to anyone unease about starting basic commercial interaction. I have received good feedback so far from those I recommended it to...

Probably an unpopular opinion but the lack of MS365 support prevents me from considering this seriously as I must combine MS and Google calendars.

Yes. That and they optimize the pricing to squeeze as much profit from captive users (or those that don't know better). They increased the pricing for Evernote quite aggressively, and reduced the free features if I recall correctly. Selling to Bending Spoons is pretty much giving up and letting the vultures have a bite at the remains.

If I recall correctly Sunrise got acquired by Microsoft and turned into the foundation of today's Outlook app...

I sense a great deal of sarcasm and a lack of constructive criticism in your comment. Has this issue impacted your life in the past?

Thank you. It is hard not to be labeled as an Apple fan boy when I posit Musk and Jobs do not belong in the same category. Jobs made the point repeatedly about encouraging differences in opinins. Musk behaves as he's only surrounded by sycophants. He's high on his own hype.

I love Arc on my mac. I know it's not for everyone, but it does so many things right (for me) that going back to another browser is a major impediment to my workflows.

My friends will quickly understand who’s behind those paw patrol binges

Not sure what you mean. It's pretty straightforward to get Netflix shows.

No matter what the client says, ensure your prototypes load fast. I had a project turn sour because the C level test end users couldn't be bothered to wait 20 seconds, despite us telling them it was normal.

So, converted in USD, and comparing gross salaries when there's massive variations in cost of living and taxes. I worked in the UK and the EU, made significantly more in the UK, but didn't have a comparatively higher quality of life. This could be useful for a multinational looking into allocating its workforce, but I'd advise candidates to do a little bit more reasearch before packing up and moving...

Trying to edge past quarterly targets, one can imagine.

Subscribed back in the day to a lifetime deal for Feedly, which is very good at filtering out themes/keywords I'm not interested in. On the app side, I haven't found anything more enjoyable than Reeder (mac and iOS). Keyboard shortcuts are great too.

I don't, nor do I think there needs to be an alternative. In the same sense, there were no alternatives to Myspace. Other, different things emerged instead.

Cut Twitter’s reliance on advertising to less than 50 percent of revenue

He’s definitely reducing reliance on advertising considering how poorly ad sales are going. So we’ll soon be able to mark that one as a « win » I guess. /s

An easier analogy is the ad industry term « inventory ». When you want to commit to buying very large quantities of inventory you might want more guarantees, discounts and other specific terms that wouldn’t be feasible or reasonable in small quantities. It happens for goods, and it’s roughly the same B2B negotiations for ad space. That’s also why most big advertisers never pay the actual rate card price of an ad slot. In TV or print, I’ve seen many discounts of over 50% on the official price for large ad buy commitments.

The problem is advertisers demanding assurances when the company literally had a takeover last week.

Advertisers have the right to demand all the assurances they want. There are other places to spend ad budget. In this economic context there is extra pressure to make every dollar count. Advertisers care about brand equity and RoI. They don’t owe Twitter one dollar. It’s not the advertisers’ fault the takeover is so messy. It’s 100% of Musk’s doing. It’s not the activists’ fault Twitter had no good answers, irrespective of where the questions originated. And lastly, it’s not the first media M&A deal in history. Seeking assurances post-acquisition is boringly standard practice.

We use office365 for calendaring. The onboarding flow stops at "connect your Primary Google Calendar Account". I understand one has to start somewhere, but it still boggles my mind why so many B2B startups treat Office365 as second order of priority. Does it come from genuine market research on the addressable market, or tech myopia of Google apps usage in the startup ecosystem? Guess we'll stick with Sunsama for the time being.

I interpret this as a recommendation towards a (strictly) regulated market economy. Hence my point about unchecked capitalism.

I'm not saying it's what you are implying, not trying to pull a strawman here. But I disagree with the notion that healthy competition is the successful, stable outcome capitalism has been producing on its own. Works fine in economics books (of which I read my fair share). But in practice, the dynamic is towards concentration of power and resources at the expense of the outside world — not to its benefit. The Emmanuel Faber case at Danone partly illustrates my point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Faber

Kind of like an iPad? I'm being facetious here, but the broader point could be that what you describe is better suited for a portable form factor than for a desktop computer, where most users will favor performance over a fanless, sealed design.

If you are rich with most of your assets in liquid form, you're not richin' right. The whole point is to keep as little liquid assets as possible and invest in a diverse portfolio of longer-term, return-yielding investments. You'll want short-term liquidity for upcoming payables, and long-term solvency to justify leveraging as much as possible of your investments through borrowing.
