Just like when the medical industry made insulin cheap because it’s been around forever and costs nothing to manufacture.

Thanks for responding, I do think you interpreted my comment correctly.

I see size as negatively correlated (maybe as a semi-direct cause) with preserving company mission. Hence why I was confused by you addressing it. It would never cross my mind to argue that size has protected Costco.

I haven’t read your book, just skimmed the post so I don’t know if it’s convincing. But I’d like to argue that those companies failing their mission is proof that they did not have good leadership. however, that makes the argument a little circular.

I’m aware of FedMart (Acquired podcast on Costco is very entertaining). I think Sol Price was a bad leader and selling out to Hugo Mann was putting profit above other things.

The parent comment didn’t say anything about size or wall street. It said leadership is what has preserved it.

Which it doesn’t seem you have refuted in any meaningful way. You just restated what the parent comment is responding to with no further reasoning as to why leadership doesn’t account for it.

Hello, I am a Full Stack Developer with a focus on backend and performance. I have experience in the healthcare industry. I am looking for challenging work that has a purpose beyond making money.

Maybe instead of all the wealth flowing to a couple huge companies in a couple countries wealth would be distributed more broadly.

Robust and redundant manufacturing spread across the world with more opportunity for innovation?

nextdns lets you set times when domains are blocked. Originally I had it just for my computer but soon realized I needed it for my phone as well.

Author covers how IANA handles Königsberg, it is logically its own timezone.

  An IANA timezone uniquely refers to the set of regions that not only share the same current rules and projected future rules for civil time, but also share the same history of civil time since 1970-01-01 00:00+0. In other words, this definition is more restrictive about which regions can be grouped under a single IANA timezone, because if a given region changed its civil time rules at any point since 1970 in a a way that deviates from the history of civil time for other regions, then that region can't be grouped with the others

I agree that time is a mess. And the 15 minute offsets are insane and I can't fathom why anyone is using them.

  sad but true: learn "yes" then learn blame other grugs when fail, ideal career advice

When I first entered the corporate world I thought this wasn’t true, there was just poor communication on part of technical teams. I learn I wrong. grug right.
