There is nothing competitive about the wages in Denver when you're comparing to CA. Cost of living is lower than SV, but still one of the highest in the country.

This is an interesting look for me into exactly who Apple is targeting. Obviously, not you, because you want more control. But the more that I hear about what they are doing and the direction they are going, I am more likely to buy their services, because I just want something that works.
Really, I think the crux is that I trust Apple to do the right thing for a bunch of non-solid reasons, and so I am willing to give them the control over the particulars of the mechanisms as long as the input-->output is what I want/expect from them.

They don't need to, but Colorado, and Boulder in particular, is trying like hell to do it anyway.

Unless I missed it, they didn't answer their own question, and instead just listed a few emotions that get people riled up the most.

Ok, but why?

The issue, as I understand it, is all about weight. Putting two different power systems on board takes away all of the benefits of using one or the other exclusively.

I think that "paying attention to" could just mean watching for other bad behavior to justify action. Not necessarily paying attention to take notes from.

It's not that it's a phone meeting. It's that it's a pointless meeting.

One of the first things that I got told in my materials class was that for the strength and weight, carbon steel and aluminum are essentially the same. Steel is about 3x as dense, but also 3x as strong, and does not fatigue like aluminum.
I'm assuming that NASA knows this, and chose aluminum for another reason that I'm not aware of.

I don't think those are mutually exclusive options, myself. I would classify a lot of startup founders as crooks.

That's not been my observation. People assume that if you have a lot of money, you must be good at something, not that you are inherently good.

There is a huge gap between "not frictionless" and "impossible". Sometimes, people have to make hard choices. The reality is that if you want to live in a trendy/convenient/nice part of a major city, then you will have to pay for it, because EVERYONE wants to live there.
Sometimes, you just can't have everything you want.

I don't think that the particular time is the issue here. It's that there is a specific time at all. On top of that, the thoughtless commitment to a particular amount of time being in that chair is just insulting.
I agree with the title - if you don't trust me, then you shouldn't have hired me.

But if they told the truth, they wouldn't get upvoted to the front page.
