It's usually a matter of framing to me. Criticizing and finger-pointing is always easier than a nuanced and tradeoff-minded view. It is also easier to engage people with negative feelings, so much of the media/Internet follows the same path.
Reality is boring: the bad parts of whatever are usually there for a reason, be it historical or goalposts that moved over time or lack of information/time/resources in general available at the critical point in time. But going through the gritty details of how the bad came to be is tedious work. You can sound just as smart for pointing out what's wrong and you can sound brilliant by signaling that imperfections make you angry.
It's just a bad habit for thought workers that you can overcome with attention and deliberate practice.
When the whole menu bar is made black with these modifications, it’s going to look a little bit weird probably because then you don’t see where the notch that “interrupts” menus is, so there will be a more strange looking gap.
I’m still on MacBook Pro M1 2020, so not planning to buy a new machine for a while. But if the notch is there in the model I buy, I’m keeping the notch the way it looks.
But in the end it’s all personal preference, so I’m not trying to protest against what other people choose to do on their desktops. That would be silly of me to do.
oh it's literally just a thing that styles your menu bar? I thought it was people who were pushing their menu bar beneath the notch and creating black no-man lands on either side of the notch.
He won mobile. He didn’t have to build phones to dominate mobile advertising. Facebook was a great beneficiary of mobile adoption and that’s why we’ve been seeing Apple attack their business model.
TL;DR venture capital is becoming regular capital because tech companies keep growing fast well after the IPO; “the next big thing” is not coming on the short term, just more techy companies surfing VC money and more growth for tech companies; the current cycle is not yet ripe for disruption.
The traditional model of plant for 5 years and harvest for 5 years is dying/dead. Seed investments are getting larger and bleeding into Series A. Companies are staying private for longer. Liquidation events can be pushed further out without compromising growth. Sequoia Productive Capital makes the 10 year cycle less important. This allows Sequoia to focus on sourcing deals and reallocating capital accordingly to deliver results, which they have been consistent enough to keep acquiring capital from LPs. We are also seeing outsized returns on existing investments so sticking around for Series D/E/etc. and multiple years post-IPO might be key to get the 50-100+x returns.
The first habit you need is journaling. The NoOp journal (which requires no further habits) would be gratitude journal or dream journal if you’re able to consistently remember them. What matters is that you make it daily.
Then, any other habit becomes easier to incorporate once you talk about it every time you journal. My favorite journaling method is the Theme System by Cortex (Myke and CGP).
Yet many rich democracies have been using electronic voting without issue. There’s an entire field of science and engineering for securing digital democracy, don’t take a single YouTuber as your source (ftr, I like Tom Scott’s videos too)
And on top of that there was massive fraud with votes due to re-voting option existing. Certainly Russia isn't a country that you want to take as example in anything related to democracy.
It doesn’t seem common to write single file libraries in Python; and it doesn’t seem to be too unreasonable to add an entrypoint script for version checks.
