Raytheon is another example. I think the open book metaphor gets lost in the aggressive roundness of the O. When I first looked at it, I thought why would they make it look like a turbo fan…? Now in the case of…
Don't knock exponential growth!
Seems like a low-on-details article with PR-like flavor. According to this, Toyota cut production by 40%, though it does acknowledge that Toyota took less of a hit vs industry: “New cars often include dozens of…
Doing it “free” is impossible, hence the ad-tech shitshow.
That's fair – I wasn't being particularly rigorous when I implied "delusion". Resiliently optimistic is better. Reminds of me of the Stockdale Paradox: "You must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail…
This is somewhat paradoxical, but I think leadership requires some level of delusion. If one truly sees things as they are, it’s hard to create narratives and mythologies requires to motivate/lead people. Steve Jobs’…
Relevant according to whom? You’ve explained _why_ Google returns those results, but that doesn’t make the answers relevant. Especially not when Google presents them so authoritatively as knowledge cards (or whatever…
WAI. They recognized you, and wanted to you spend more time in the store. /s
Exactly my experience! I had a Casio SF-R20 when I was around 13 years old, and it was a my first introduction to spreadsheets (IIRC the spreadsheet app was called Lucid 3-D).…
Thank you.
Yes, exactly this. It’s useful to understand biases: cognitive diversions from the truth. Echoing OP’s sentiment: How one uses/weaponizes such knowledge depends on one’s goals: to win petty ego battles in debate or seek…
Not so sure about the prevalence of longer route tactic. I’m sure it happens, but with the route plainly visible on the map, it’s hard to cheat here unless the driver is being a bully, which is a different class of…
If we suspend the Uber/taxi comparison, and assume Uber is a new taxi-like service but better, therefore deserves a premium? I know I’d pay for that premium. Not everyone will, but I can’t be alone? So that means the…
Apple uses Torx screws, as do several other products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx
I’ve often wondered how we come up with daily dose recommendations for vitamins. To the HN hive mind/experts on this topic: What types of research design, data sets, etc. inform these recommendations? Essentially, is…
Some pedantry is in order – withered and weathered are different words.
Neat!
Valid point, but I wouldn’t be so prescriptive. It’s also about understanding other variables — the culture of your workplace, the particular meeting/situation — and calibrating your approach accordingly. Of course,…
This, exactly. America has manufacturing talent, but not at the scale required for a manufacturing economy. (Source: ~2 decades in global manufacturing.)
And the Gita’s – “You have the right to work; not the fruits of your work.”
Will VBA live?
Amadeus is a movie that really resonated for the reasons you mention. However, another movie that really resonated, and offers a counterpoint to you’re-either-born-with-it-or-not fatalism is Gattaca. (Of course, one…
Already in use at major Chinese airports/ports of entry.
HN feels like such a sanctuary: a high quality space not (yet?) perverted by the pressures of a purely profit motive. It’d be interesting to study how does HN thrives; more deeply understand the incentives that sustain…
Wikipedia is so incredible because it’s that sliver of intersection in a Venn diagram of what’s ideal and what’s real – a rare phenomenon.
