    setting one number is a little silly tho. somebody with 4 kids has totally different needs than a single person. especially if someone has a kid with special needs the costs can be huge. obviously that doesn’t apply to these CEOs but I would say one person doesn’t need more than 100k

    how would android or chrome have the funding for development outside of google? really weird plan to fix this, seems like there are going to be a lot of unintended consequences.

    and the ironic part about this, it comes at a time when google is on the verge of being destroyed by new technology and their own enshittification. i haven’t relied on google search in years now, it’s so bad. some monopoly






  • my college buddy and startup cofounder had a pathetically slow old laptop. he asks me the other day, “should i buy an ipad pro?” i was dumbfounded. bro you don’t even have a proper computer. we went around a bunch and he kept trying to get really bad ones like a base model mac mini. finally i persuaded him to get a 16" M1 Pro for a grand (about 700 after his trade in) and he couldn’t be happier.

    I’m still using my M1 MBP like 4 years later. Don’t even care to upgrade! these things are great value







  • it’s not my position, but the book author’s. i doubt i could do a good job explaining it, as i haven’t gotten very far in to it.

    sometimes people are curious, and just want to know that the information exists. that is me. I’m reading the book as a challenge for myself, because i disagree with the premise.

    other times people i guess think that you could cover a complex topic like this in bite-sized spoon-fed internet comments and memes. i feel pity for those guys.
