Hospitals need to be connected. They need to send and receive EMRs from other hospitals. They need to receive security updates for their own software (eg Windows has a Bluetooth vulnerability... someone could hack from inside). Medical providers need to look up information and consult doctors in other areas if a patient is being transferred.

The solution here does not need to be “operate hospitals in digital isolation.”

You need a desktop app when 1) you’re spending a ton of time in the app or 2) you need every ounce of performance and feature set that you can obtain and 3) you’re willing to pay for it.

If you’re not building something like this, don’t build for desktop.

Elon Musk is the guy who bets his house at the roulette table. It’s been working out for him so far but one day he’s going to step into some shit his money can’t get him out of and it’s going to be entirely his own fault.

They don’t need to pay SF rates. 100K in Indianapolis buys you a way better standard of living than 200K in SF.

Not asking for any sympathy — not asking anyone to care about my problems any more than I care about theirs.

One thing that’s always been very important to Apple’s marketing is the sense that the coolest people in the world use Macs. The positioning has always been “Well that CEO has a PC but that artist with a lot of sexual partners uses a Mac.”

Logic is part of the portfolio to preserve that image by having as many musicians as possible using Apple hardware and software.

Nobody knows what a barrel of oil will cost next year so any claims about the future price of Bitcoin come from someone who is trying to scam you.
