The Mondo Duplantis strategy.

I almost always use Claude when shopping online, to find unknown unknowns. And I loved using Claude to plan a recent trip, instead of not bothering to plan at all because it’s so tedious. Just as a counterexample.

I don’t know if I would see ”Now I'm the only go person so guess who gets paged for everything” as an improvement.

Last time I was looking, a year or so ago, I sent out dozens of applications and got zero interviews. Last time I switched jobs, in 2022, I sent out the same amount of applications and >50% led to one or more interviews (and eventually two offers).

That is not what ”innovate” means, you’re mixing it up with ”invent”. You could argue that they never invented anything, but not that they haven’t had, and continue to have, plenty of innovations the past decades.

Think every product that was one way, then Apple did it differently and suddenly every product on the market looked like theirs. That’s a long list of both hardware and software.

On the other hand, when was the last time any mass market tech product was _invented_ by that definition (something no one else has done before)? Most products are incremental improvements, even innovations are rare when it comes to mass market products.

I think it’s a fine label. I have skill and interest in all of those areas. Some things requires specialists, most jobs out there don’t.

I just tried on my iPhone and it does not do that, there is no countdown. It will force a passcode and give you the option to call SOS, shut off your phone or show your medical id.

I used to do that too, capitalizing the first letter and appending 1.

I think Apple Music (on iOS, on Mac it’s quite bad) is really good. But even if it wasn’t, I still would use it just for ratings and complex smart playlists.

The bean counters only understand (and measure) one of those well enough to try to control it.

I’m not following. The label is the entity that the artist chose to represent them. The labels do not pass on the money that they make during that representation. Who else should the artists blame, other than themselves for choosing poor representation (from only poor options)?
