“Most people don't know why Steve Jobs fired two board members of Pixar.”
“The reason he fired them was that they never disagreed with him.”
“Steve said ‘If they don't disagree with me then they aren't bringing any value to the company.’”
“That's an unusual way of thinking and he really believed that.”
.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:
“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”
“I never take in any negativity.”
“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”
Your resting heart rate at 40 is a window into your health at 60.
But most people don't pay attention to it or know how to track it.
Here's what it tells you and how to lower it:
Craig Federighi.
This HIGHLY beloved character made the past two years of WWDC keynotes more difficult to watch than they would have otherwise been. He was the embodiment of broken promises. His defense of those promises came with more transparency from Apple than usual, but less transparency than the circumstances perhaps called for. He assured us that the software was real. That the architecture was the issue. That it would be available in 2026.
It’s Federighi who’s been the public spokesman for Apple’s software since 2012. He has been the one standing on the WWDC stage each June and making the year’s software releases matter and sometimes entertaining. To an Apple fan, his performance at WWDC is an essential rite of passage every year.
That is what Federighi does when he holds the reins. We have ten years of proof: inheriting the mess left by Scott Forstall and Apple Maps, the transition to Apple Silicon and the seamless switch to macOS Big Sur, and finally, Swift, released from the internal environment to the general public. Those are the markers of an individual who works well when the power balances out with the duty.
For two years, in the most important new platform that Apple has ever created since the App Store, there was no such balance. Now there is, and Siri AI is its first child.
@MerlijnTrader The tax clip you show is not EU policy
And the EU is not a country government. Many government official are not elected incl Elon.
Plus its hypocrisy for Americans to claim freedom while they’re more and more a failed state with little democracy
In primates, gestures like placing a hand on the face or resting the chin on the hands tend to increase following aggressive disputes or social conflicts.
Gorillas have highly complex neural networks & can process past social interactions & disputes.
Unlike chimpanzees, who often resort to physical touch to reconcile after conflicts, gorillas frequently sit quietly near their partners to diffuse tension.
We share over 98% of our DNA with gorillas.
Our limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for processing emotions like fear, anger, stress, & frustration, is remarkably similar to a gorilla's.
And just as it happens with us, when a gorilla sits in a stressed posture for long, others often come to console, mediate, & ease the tension.
These are ancient gestures, ones we still share with them.
Being in good shape in your 20’s is impressive.
You've got time, hormones, and youth on your side.
But being fit after 40 is a massive status symbol.
It means you can juggle a family, career, responsibilities, and health all at the same time.
