@MichaelLamonato @strategyreport Oh man I'm gonna miss this, it made me help sound like I knew what I was talking about with F1 friends.

After nine seasons hosting, the last episode of the #F1 @StrategyReport wraps up the #AbuDhabiGP and 2024 season. Doing the pod has been a big part of my career for almost a decade. Thanks to everyone who joined me over 190 eps and to everyone who listened.

@kwrzesien @SnazzyLabs What's the point dominating the industry if you have to lose margin doing it? It's not like Apple is struggling to make a buck

@SnazzyLabs Further proof that Apple is holding back. The moment they want to dominate the industry all they have to do is cut upgrade price tiers in half.

I tried to build a $599 PC to match the performance of the $599 Mac mini—size and efficiency be damned. I could not do it. You cannot build a better PC at $600 using new parts. Period. But the Mac mini is only a good deal if you leave it as is; upgrading makes it a bad deal.

ok so I'm getting tempted to replace the raspberry pi home server... admittedly I'd be taking a ~$200 setup and probably spending $1200 instead...

It is useful to understand when you are dealing with a person who can be persuaded and when you are dealing with a state machine which has formal transitions for some things you could say and literally no emotional response per policy.

I am confident that the lesson the Australian Labour Party will learn from the events in the United States is to do exactly the same things the Democrats did and lose to Peter Dutton next year

Reminder: Victory for Trump is likely to all but end global hopes of staying below 1.5C, our analysis found in March carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump…

May I offer US friends an Australian proverb in these trying times: Yeah nah shit's pretty fucked ay

@astrange_e @david_obrien @Slav636 @SwiftOnSecurity You mean like 401ks / IRAs / Roths

@david_obrien @Slav636 @SwiftOnSecurity If Australian labor laws came from the US they'd give things normal names instead of "super" "award" and "chazzwazzer"

Europe is ngmi

Reminder that no gas export project has ever paid petroleum resource rent tax, including Japan's massive INPEX project in Darwin. Will Minister King be bringing this up?! 2/3

@ThePaleBlue US Election year social media plus Threads product owners growth hacking.

@ThePaleBlue They brought the Cybertruck dumb to cars and busses?!

my cofounder presented a study that showed teenagers learn better if they can sleep in a little more, and the school came back with “well we can’t adjust it now, we have a contract with the bus drivers” oh, so the school is for the benefit of the bus drivers?? much like the port is for the benefit of the longshoremen, and the polity is for the benefit of the politicians, eh?

What's the mercy rule, can we just call it at 3 quarter time #AFLGF

@maladyvessel @Loster All about aligning economic incentives... for many years search was at the centre because that's what Google did. And then Ads takes over because that's how Google makes money. No profit in meeting a customer's search need by sending them elsewhere.

3:00 PM is too late for coffee and too early for happy hour. I don’t need this kind of negativity in my life!

@ThePaleBlue The Australian edition of The Office is Utopia, no further correspondence on this matter will be admitted.

@SwiftOnSecurity Australia is the great experiment here, manufacturing almost entirely hollowed out because domestic market too small for scale, export markets too far and cost of land & labour too high to compete. Has extremes of resource and service economy, it skews so much.

The framing of a proposed climate trigger in the media is shocking. Every major scientific body says no new coal or gas, bc the climate is already breaking down (floods, record temps, fires etc), yet the Australian media continues to act as if the whole issue is abt the Greens.
