Doesn't sound like you have kids or have ever traveled with kids. The point with kids is to measure how much you force them to adapt to. You want the kids to enjoy their trip, just like you do. There is give and take for how much weirdness you can put them through and still have them on solid enough footing to learn from the trip. Sometimes two weeks into a trip, you need some McDonald's to give them some comfort.
Kids are awesome! But they're not adults, and adults that don't have kids don't understand that.
Comcast's careful cable operations are legendary. They really care about all their customers and the public at large. Right? Right? Remember this?

I get his point - more things will be connected to the internet. But more things will also not be. The internet is a utility now, it's not just new and shiny. Sure, there will be coffee machines that are connected to the internet you can buy, but there will be a ton of people that don't want them and want a normal coffee machine. If you don't believe me, look at pets.com and the bubble burst. Seemed at the time that everything would be purchased through a web site. Sure, Amazon has some pet food sales. But people aren't ever going to stop buying dog food locally.
Running your own server doesn't ensure you have control over your email. In fact, unless you have hired, 24x7 technicians you trust, and are running it in a hardened data center you built yourself, etc. you probably have more leaks to your server to bad actors than you do using one of the big providers.
Agreed. For an extremely low paid CEO in the US, it's maybe a couple of months? For a high paid CEO it's a couple of hours? I'm not saying we shouldn't look at CEO pay in general, but this is so extremely modest as US CEOs go it's almost embarassing.
No, it is entirely relevant. The reason why is that drug companies sell things at extremely low prices in, for example, India. So if you can get an EpiPen in India for $10 bucks, you can now legally re-sell those pens by shipping them back to the US for $30 or something. At least, that is my understanding of the impact of the recent SCOTUS decision.
Agreed. Further, their business model is very pro-consumer, because the majority of their revenue comes from their end consumers. They're the one tech company that is treating mere moral consumers as their customer, instead of their product.
No, it is not the same as USD and other government-backed fiat currencies. USD is backed by lots of guns and nuclear weapons.

Further:
The accounting shall also identify the complete chains
of custodians for every copy of any downloaded materials or due
diligence report referencing downloaded materials. Defendants
must also use the full extent of their authority and influence to
obtain cooperation with the foregoing procedure from all involved.
For example, if a potential custodian refuses to cooperate, then
defendants’ accounting shall set forth the particulars, including all
efforts made to obtain cooperation. The accounting must be filed
and served by JUNE 23 AT NOON.
i.e., the court knows what copying is. This is a problem with the media summarizing.
It's a legal thing, meaning return any right of using the materials. You'll notice they are also ordered to stop making any further copies, stop using any copies they have made, etc. but they are allowed to keep a copy to use for legal use. I.e. the legal idea of "returning copies" is well understood in legal circles. FYI, IANAL.
"2. Defendants must immediately and in writing exercise the
full extent of their corporate, employment, contractual, and other
authority to (a) prevent Anthony Levandowski and all other
officers, directors, employees, and agents of defendants from
consulting, copying, or otherwise using the downloaded materials;
and (b) cause them to return the downloaded materials and all
copies, excerpts, and summaries thereof to Waymo (or the Court)
by MAY 31 AT NOON. Copies essential for counsel of record and
their litigation experts to use in defending this civil action are
exempted from the foregoing requirement.9"
When you intend your target to be grandmas or something and then your software accidentally hits a country-wide hospital system. That's when you go from counting bitcoins to having your door smashed down by elite forces at 2:00 in the morning...
There are legal issues with offers and other job interview related functions. Usually retention rules on offers and communications, HR signoff, Finance signoff, etc. So this would be limited to "is next tuesday good for the interview?" and that's about it.
Having extra money doesn't mean you should give it to people because you have it. Do you give away your extra money because you can? Business policy and giving away money don't jive very well, and as stakeholders (many of us probably are due to retirement funds we are in, etc), we don't want business we have stake in randomly giving away money either.
Agreed. But "toys for rich people" and "replacing our transportation infrastructure with flying cars as in Back to the Future II" are not the same thing, I was talking about the latter.
Case in point: Utah just dropped mandatory safety inspections for cars because people didn't like them. Eleven other states don't require any kind of safety inspection. That's somewhat OK in cars, where if something goes horribly wrong your car mostly coasts to the side of the road. With flight, if something goes horribly wrong you mostly die. So yeah, going from that to aircraft-level maintenance ain't going to happen normal drivers.

Energy is the problem, and it's pure physics so we won't be able to get around it. Burning energy to hover someone in the air against gravity, especially if they are mostly "hovering" and not flying 500 MPH forward, is going to be orders of magnitude more energy required than rolling them forward on wheels. The majority of the energy will be spent on the horizontal vector, not the forward vector. So unless we suddenly develop anti-gravity technology from aliens, or we want to increase the energy required for transportation by a few orders of magnitude, it's not going to happen.
Harvard Business Review is focused on the science of running a business. Think of it like MIT re: Computer Science. They don't have an agenda with businesses, they are doing university level analysis of how businesses and the economy work, which smart businesses use to their own ends, and smart employees use to their own benefit.
So what? Pay negotiations still want to happen. "I can't ask you what you make now. Ok, next question: Is our offer of $100k acceptable? No? What would you consider an acceptable offer?"
This doesn't actually make much sense. It's the same as any other field already. Let's take the example above and change it to construction workers:
So, how should we talk about construction workers? First, we should talk about how important their work is. Construction is one of the fastest growing industries in the world as it serves a role in every part of society. Construction workers maintain and build critical parts of our infrastructure. Second, we need to talk about the craft of what they do... we need to show more finished buildings. Every construction worker may use a different set of tools, but across the board their craft is evolving at increasing rates. [...] I think we can drop construction worker stereotypes all together at this point. It's a job people know -- it's time to add some vitamins to that kool-aid. After all, we're just like lawyers, librarians, electricians and cab drivers... we're just people, totally unique and different people. But if there is one thing that unites us, it's a unifying desire to build new things, improve old things, learn when we can and avoid being stereotyped. It's as simple as that.
I've found the best overall savings are if you stay loyal to your preferred airline or hotel chain. Get on their rewards card or miles / points system, and book directly through them. You get the best deals, and a lot more support if anything goes wrong with your reservation. Try getting help from an airline or hotel company if you book through a third party...
Now if we can just get them to stop treating last mile internet access like selling used cars. I swear it is more painful to buy internet through Comcast than to buy a car at a used lot, and I feel more dirty afterward.

Um... given Apple's market cap is heading towards $1TN with $200+BN in cash on hand, I think he's doing the job he was hired to do fantastically.

Edit: Vertical, not horizontal lol.
