Also, learned to avoid huge, carby meals in the middle of day one.

I've actually got better at this in recent years. May be age eroding my sleeping patterns.

Delayed onset jet lag. Rough!

When I used to travel back from Beijing for Qualcomm agency meetings, I'd get in early West Coast AM. They would put on a LAVISH lunch. Then at 2PM all my bodily functions would halt and I would have bounce at the back of the room to stay awake through the slides.

I love this when I go to Asia, but the reverse trip is rough and I need to be winched out of bed for a day or two.

Hey, cheaper than a terminal sub and much better shitposting.

Yeah, it's on their IR website and newsroom now. Just the Terminal being a couple of minutes in front, as, I guess, they are paid to be.

There it is: investor.apple.com/investor-rel...

Only on the terminal so far? Nothing on their newsroom. Bloomberg just posted this story. Not quite the same as that terminal line. bsky.app/profile/bloo...

Wow...

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could...etc...

You killed the munchies, you bastards!

I had the same thought. On the other hand, they got The Verge and Wired to write about Prego Pasta Sauce AND Storycorps. 🤷 I was curious if there was an existing Campbell's / Storycorps relationship, but I see no evidence of it. (The release is joint to both orgs, Campbell's owns Prego.)

Some sauce company PR people cracking a bottle of Brunello today.

Mind you, I'm not saying that's a great strategy or that it will necessarily work out well! I'd be amazed if the Atlantic's response isn't, "come at us, bro." They have something to signal as well.

Yes, Streisand effect and discovery are risks. But, given who is president, it's possible there was also risk in not suing and not visibly and publicly punching back as hard as possible. Lawsuits can be a form of signaling and communication, even to a narrow audience.

I call these "bullshit trend" stories. There is an actuall interesting story underneath on how some huge tech companies have highly personalized leadership, and what that means, but this is just, "lol this is weird."

A grainy black and white picture of a scuba diver following an ascent line that leads from a coral-encrusted wreck up and to the right. He has a porthole tied to a lift-bag, which is shackled to the ascent line. A cloud of bubbles rises from his head. There are a few striped fish in the background.

I used to do UW photo. Once on a lark I took Tri-X down instead of my usual slide film (this was back in the day). Here’s a pic of said Australian on that wreck, floating a porthole up with a lift bag. This is about 40m down, at the wheelhouse.

I did some looney dives off of that boat, before I moved to China and had a kid and stopped gambling with my life.

That wreck was mis-charted for a while. A salvor I used to dive with, a crazy-ass Australian who had a converted 70ft crayfishing boat, had relocated the wreck and blown the props off with explosives to salvage the brass. Something like SGD$30,000 worth at the time. Before I knew him, but saw pix.

Anyway, it was a tremendous dive site. 26m to the top of the funnel, 40m to the wheelhouse and 60m to the bottom depending on tides. Often had whale sharks and manta rays. Lots of spaces to explore inside.

Related: I did much of my technical diving training on the wreck of an oil tanker that exploded and sank off of Singapore. It was unladen, but there were residual fumes. The insurance claim was a lightning strike but the general suspicion was a crew member was smoking.

A+ photo choice.

it is legitimately unfathomable how the US squandered its significant EV early lead primarily through entirely backwards short-sighted policy decisions in support of the oil industry which likely has already set the stages of the US auto industry's demise. a death in slow motion.

Not saying that tech companies can’t be culty, though. They absolutely, 100% can be.

I live in the Valley and know lots of people who work at lots of companies. I have seen countless logos on clothing but zero faces.

The Must-Have Item in Silicon Valley Is a $178 Sweater With a CEO’s Face Leaders at companies from Nvidia to Palantir are now driving fashion, signaling a new era of the cult of the founder.

The good thing about working for a low-profile chip maker is that we’ll never do this. But also, there are two (2) examples in this story and they are exactly who you think they are. www.wsj.com/tech/silicon...

It’s interesting how sticky the pseudo-grille is in some manufacturers’ design language, the Germans prominently. A conspicuous visual callback to combustion. Not something you see in dedicated EV companies, I think.

From a different source, the top 5 model registrations. One is Chinese, one is American:

Renault 5 / Alpine A290 – 8,165
Škoda Elroq – 8,103
BYD Seal U (BEV + PHEV) – 8,063
Tesla Model Y – 6,941
BMW X1 / iX1 (PHEV + BEV) – 6,678

Standing by my theory that the war is an enormous, unintentional pro-EV industrial policy.
