In terms of work I’ll look at the overall purpose of the organization. Does it exist soley to make money? Does it do so at the detriment of others? Or does it contribute positively somehow towards the improvement of peoples lives?
What are some arguments against chaneling all forms of taxes into sales tax? To me that seems the simplest way to ensure everyone is contributing, regardles of how or where the money is made.
The age of Apple innovation sadly died with Steve. I think the time since he passed has shown that without a strong willed visionary leader their products have become fragmented and reactionary. I’m sure they have great engineers and designers but I wish someone had said no to some of the recent ideas including abandoning highly useful features like displays, magsafe chargers, usb ports, headphone jacks, etc.
I don't know about SF (I have no first hand experience there) but I can say that the market in the Boston area seems similarly overpriced and not very sustainable. Maybe for some different reasons, maybe some are the same. It's to the point where mediocre 3br suburban homes even far from the city are 500k+. It makes me very hesitant to purchase a home right now because I don't see how the value could do much anything besides decrease from here. That's my gut feeling. Would love to understand better how prices could continue to increase still.
Apple does seem to be in a good position to advertise network privacy oriented features on their devices. This made me feel nostalgic for a time when Apple made complicated things simpler.
