To be honest, if they paid me a 6 digit salary, I'd be happy to "answer an email" on a Saturday, it isn't exactly doing an 8+ hour shift at the weekend.
More like 7-8 digit salary, in the case of the CEO's direct reports at Uber

Doesn't the same logic apply to parking tickets?
And speed light cameras

Hey thanks for checking it out!
I will add more subjects in the future, hopefully based on feedback - would you like to see more Business courses or more fun/creative ones (e.g. Home Cooking 101)?
I could see creative being fun, but if I had to upvote another area it would be health (nutrition, sleep, diet, etcl

Just saw a few of the clips from 101 and think you've curated pretty good content here. Even beyond initial learning, I like to revisit good content / lessons every now and then.
Any plans to add other subjects?
Podcasts have always felt a bit alien to me. I know they exist, and people apparently listen to them, yet I haven't done so nor do I know anyone who has. They only seem to come up occasionally as advertisements.
They also feel like they occupy a weird middle space. They aren't as low-attention as something like television - without the visual component you need to pay attention more to 'get it' and follow along.
But it doesn't feel right to sit there and solely listen to it while doing nothing else. But I'm not sure what else you can do that doesn't eat up enough concentration to follow along. Cooking or cleaning maybe? Things that you can do from muscle memory.
Yup cooking and cleaning are great ones.
Also good on walks or commutes.

That is wild. Firefox on Android is an 85 MB download, and it's real Firefox with all the associated features. LinkedIn is 45 MB. I don't see how anybody can believe Apple is spending any effort on automated static analysis in app review if they're leaving such low hanging fruit.
I have Android and it's close to 300 MB. 180 of which is cache.

I feel like the only person in the world who was thoroughly underwhelmed by it and really don’t see how its future space requirements for a staircase can be justified.
This isn’t me trying to be edgy, I like cathedrals, this one (and his general style) just left me cold. Duomo in Milan was far better imo.
The true beauty is in the inside.

Did you try this to confirm it’s even true? It takes 5 seconds, just try it.
Because I did. My iPhone prompted me for my password in addition to the PIN.
Maybe we shouldn’t take this article at face value.
Likely been already fixed as a result of issues like these.
Why is this outrageous... Large non profit execs salaries need to be high enough to attract talent good enough to run operations of that size.
An engineering manager of a faang type company basically makes more money than most of these executives, so seems under compensated if anything for an organization of that size /importance.
