It was amazing

You forgot about how they have confusing setup screens for each major Windows update. Every one of my and my family’s machines have been swapped from Chrome to Edge. They can’t find their bookmarks, don’t know how things work, and call me to fix it.

Check out the book “Apple in China”. Most of these Chinese competitors exist because they learned how to make phones by learning from Apple directly.

The book “Apple in China” delivers an amazingly detailed description of both, with jaw-dropping anecdotes.

I understand the criticisms presented here.

But seeing a beautiful, whimsical image of my baby daughter in the Ghibli style was pure joy and brought tears to my eyes.

I have no idea how I could have done this otherwise, and I hope it brings happiness to Miyazaki to know that it brought joy to someone.

I moved to Mexico City from San Francisco. CDMX is cleaners and safer than Mission Bay in SF!

I literally can’t place Costco Mexico orders and perform other tasks on Sundays because payment gateways are down (?). It’s quite frustrating. If it fails every weekend, they should in fact just shut down.

I have memories of my first dream or an early dream. Everything was white and bright, and I was just there, naked, with my younger sister. I’m guessing I was 2 or 3 yrs old.

I woke up and was very scared by what I had experienced.

My solution to this was to sell my home and leave San Francisco after living there 19 years. The moment I had a baby on the way, it no longer became tenable for me to deal with the lack of cleanliness or safety on the streets.

The irony is that I moved to Mexico City. It’s a far safer place than San Francisco.

But it’s fun and, besides, those tiny powerful flashlights have saved my bacon a few times.

Same!! My mom still keeps one of my micromachines on the windowsill in the kitchen, it’s at least 30-35 yrs old.

Gave away my original print copy but it was such an amazing read for 23-yr-old me. It changed the wiring in my brain to think about truly global-scale infra problems differently.

Chase in San Francisco told me that one factor is a handful of deposit box users who come into their branch multiple times/day to access their box. That’s a huge burden on their staff’s time.

My favorite museum in the whole world, but also an impressive museum in its own right, my opinion notwithstanding.
