A sad day for America.
Very few will like where this leads.
I hope cooler heads prevail and pray for him and his family.

Isn't that what VCs in general are doing? Hiring for more money, with more expected gains from you, with a different kind of legal arrangement, but still hiring nevertheless.
No, words have meaning.
If i order fast food im not hiring the worker because i pay them.
Hiring means one thing, investing means something else.

Japans debt is 300% of their GDP and yet their society seems to work a lot better than the US. Maybe there’s more to economics than debt ratios.
Japan's currency is in the toilet. They are struggling.

This is awesome! I love to see projects like this.
Ahh to be young again.
Yet despite these problems, the F-35 remains the most commercially successful airframe in the world, with over 670 sold, and 2,500 on order from US-allied countries all over the world. What could explain this sales pipeline, if the F-35 was the boondoggle this article implies it to be?
Unfortunately we do not measure combat weapons in terms of commercial success.
We measure them in terms of lethality and reliability.

This seems to be content marketing for their company.
I found it fascinating.

But what exactly would they be trying to do by making it complex to control their speakers?
Making it harder for alternative OSes to use their hardware without accidentally damaging it, further cementing macOS' position as the only OS to be trusted.
It's similar to their war against third-party repair shops by deliberately making it difficult to replace parts, even with genuine ones --- see my second link about the iPhone 12 camera.
This is the automotive equivalent of adding sensors and ECU firmware that detects if the engine is using the manufacturer's proprietary oil, and subtly changing the parameters to decrease power and fuel economy, increase emissions, and/or shorten the life of the engine if it isn't. Then blaming third-party repair shops when customers complain.
Considering how well Apple speakers perform for their size, I would say you’re making a huge leap not supported by evidence.
They make and sell more speakers than any other company on earth and are routinely praised for their quality to size ratio.

Surely you've worked with a product owner who's invoked one of those "I'm not technical, but..."
I don't know of any working conductors out there who predicate their directions by "I'm not very musically inclined, but..."
I have been fortunate to only work with technical product owners, or ones wise enough to listen to the more technical when deciding a path forward.

This is such an incredibly cool site. Bravo.
I don't like many of the ones mentioned on this website but here are some minimalist examples [1] [2] [3] [4] and an exception I do like a bit because of the custom shape [5]. [1] is more like a skin.
