i don't see what yelp had to do with it.
in this particular case, i could imagine that in his role as partner as Basecamp there is a longer "credit trail" attributed to him just from a business operational standpoint beyond his joint family tax filing. that alone could explain the discrepancy between him and his wife beyond sexism.
The only interesting idea I can write out is that the author says that knowing the length/size of an article/book is intrinsically good. I do wonder if that is necessarily true.
Maybe one can argue that knowing the length of a written word has resulted in less people engaging?
It is better to dump 5 billion into WeWork to move it from the "sure fire bankruptcy today" category into the "questionably over-investment with 18 month runway" category. Doing this keeps pressure off the entire investment portfolio now at a critical time when they are looking to raise funds for the new Vision Fund.
Also, there seems to be a bit of helping out JP Morgan as well. The article goes out of its way to link this cash infusion to helping repay JP Morgan credit line for Neumann. If nothing else, the article helps calm people/investors that JP Morgan wont be left holding the bag on that.
The only area in that document she would have followed to reach out Apple's security contact is under the heading of "Security and privacy researchers", of which I am doubting she thought herself or her 14 year old son as.
As one Tesla executive involved in its design told me, the goal here was not only to minimize the movement of materials like lithium and cobalt but also to shorten the path of every molecule that moves through the plant. “Because the further a molecule needs to travel,” he said, “the more cost gets added into it. We actually think of it in terms of molecular distance.”
It's things like these, where obvious truths are packaged as some sort of insight that really get my goat.
or does apple believe that the "autonomous" component is the real stand out feature?
an interesting aside, they now have the ability to toggle the background (and font color). the presets are (black on white, white on black) interestingly, one of the presets is black on yellow. i didn't realize this was such a a popular of a text/bg combination.
the only distinguishing feature is the submission title suggesting a use case for "roleplay"

The book spends the entire time giving you countless examples to hammer the point home.
My favorite example from the book (via wikipedia)
Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear demonstrations.
Which is more probable?
a) Linda is a bank teller.
b) Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement.
there is a weird "rawgit traffic error" banner across the site.
