Woz says Steve Jobs was like Donald Trump

The Apple co-founder reportedly makes interesting comparisons and also reveals Tim Cook sent him an iPhone X.

You have no knowledge of my politics. This topic has nothing to do with Trump or Biden but I understand the ad hominem.

Woz made the comparison which you challenge. I gave you the source. I quoted his feelings accurately.

I am apparently more familiar with Jobs turnaround at Apple as well. It was not all unicorns, party favors, and balloons but in the end Jobs got it done. I summarized his transition accurately and provided corroboration.

Bradl and you might consider being less emotional and more familiar with topics.

Tell me about Fauci and the Space Laser Lizard people again.

Sure! Right after you tell me about how a bunch of nitwits not bringing guns, entering a federal building, breaking a few items, yelling at the ceiling in costume, and posing for pictures in the Speaker's chair represents the most violent, treasonous, coup ever perpetrated.

I loathe disinformation, especially such lazy and uninformed drivel as this.

So, the mob did bring guns, explosives, weapons, etc., and people (incl. police officers) were terrorized, crippled, and killed by the mob of dupes, dolts, and petite fascists.

"Police stopped only a fraction of the violent protestors Jan. 6, but we still know of guns and explosives seized in and around the Capitol. And we know rioters brought knives, brass knuckles a stun gun and other weapons.

Just as notable, video plainly shows the mob using all manner of makeshift weapons to attack police and force their way in, including hockey sticks, flagpoles, fire extinguishers and a police shield stolen from an officer."

The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

Deflection at its best, and offtopic.

Bringing it back, a little bit of grammar. From Dictionary.app:

evict​

​

e·vict| əˈvik(t) | verb [with object] expel (someone) from a property, especially with the support of the law: he had court orders to evict the trespassers from three camps. past tense: evicted​

Elon Musk cuts Twitter expenses by falling behind on bills

In addition to not paying rent and laying off workers, Musk’s Twitter is also auctioning off high-end office furniture, kitchen equipment and other relics the past, when Twitter had over 7,500 full-time workers around the world, and free lunch and other office perks were common.

www.wowt.com

So not only is the guy causing two companies' values to fall horribly, the guy is cheap, skimping out on bills that he now has to pay because he owns his sandbox. And stans think he's a responsible businessman.

No statement was more worthy of a Dunning-Kruger study nor less a flagrant disregard for democracy and human life.

Put simply, just because you haven't read anything since 8/21 (it shows), well over a year old, doesn't mean the world simply stopped spinning and information hit a plateau.

Of course not. However when you do support a party that wants to do away with parts of Article II so a certain person can remain in office ad infinitum, you are supporting a party that mirrors DPRK.


Back on topic, we have yet another episode of Rules for thee, but not for me in the latest sad saga of Elon Musk’s Soapbox Twitter. This time, it involves reducing availability to Family planning. You know.. something he used to have 8 children himself.

Hardly seems like unreasonable changes for a failing company…or even one that isn’t.

Lifetime fertility benefit reduced from $80k to $40k​

​

No more WFH without prior approval​

New hire orientation reduced from three days to one​

COVID pandemic allowance for daycare is cancelled​

Travel meal per diem reduced to $75 / day​

Revised travel and expense policy​

Holding managers more accountable for approving expenses not covered in the policy​

Employee mobile phone allowance reduced to from $150 to $50/mo​

Coffee, beverages, and snacks will continue to be free for all employees, but they need to pay for their meals now in the company cafe​

Vacations without notice will no longer be approved. Managers will approve vacation requests based on work balances, and project deadlines assigned​

Pre-Musk and the issue looks to have been addressed.

While troublesome the data did not contain sensitive details like credit card information, SSNs, or home addresses.

Last month Musk refused to pay the ransom consistent with Cybersecurity recommendation as paying only encourages future attacks from bad actors.

By the way, that data now looks to be free.

Dang, tech companies I have worked for (who has billions in the bank) never had such generous expenditures for corporate HQ staff. Pretty egregious for a company with no product.

Then you have never worked for a decent tech company. Even the lesser ones I have worked at have offered more for their employees. Perhaps an employer change is in order; I hear Twitter is hiring. Just be careful not to get a position in San Francisco; you may be stuck with paying the rent while the emplyoer tries to keep up with as many children as Nick Cannon.

Cutting fat in departments where fat needs cut is what leadership does in a failing company. As explained before, not everyone likes the changes a new CEO makes to turnaround a failing company.

Leadership without personal action = management. Leadership is sticking to your values and morals when you speak them or let them be known to the public.

Musk has done neither. Cases in point:

• advocating "free speech", then banning journos and/or anyone criticizing him;
• Claiming that a certain user is doxxing him, then goes on to dox another user himself;

When one backpedals the way he has, that isn't leadership; that is a narcissist wanting people to give him the attention he craves, and then gets upset when what he wants is used against him, but is the very exact thing he advocates. He can't handle it, and is an absolutely horrible owner.

But you don't have to take my word for it; just look at Twitter's value plummeting as well as the anger in Tesla's shareholders.

Pre-Musk and the issue looks to have been addressed.

Pre-Musk? Musk OWNS IT NOW. One can't claim that it wan't his fault, for when he bought the company, he assumed all responsibility for the company, including the problems he has. It is now his problem that he has to deal with, and now makes him and his company liable for the damages.

While troublesome the data did not contain sensitive details like credit card information, SSNs, or home addresses.

Last month Musk refused to pay the ransom consistent with Cybersecurity recommendation as paying only encourages future attacks from bad actors.

By the way, that data now looks to be free.

And Twitter's responsibility for that data getting out; and by extension, Musk's responsibility for the cleanup. He bought the problem; now he must resolve it, and he can't do that by tweeting his way out so that his stans can still kiss the ring. But I digress with the deflection.

I see you’ve never worked in a real tech company before. At least not Apple, AMD, Intel, Or any other chip manufacturer.

There is a reason the big ones stay big, because they are smart with money. Especially apple.

But hey, I guess working at Snapchat getting free yoga lesson is “tech” to some people.

Leadership is vision.
Management is the execution of the vision.
Musk is doing both.

Twitter’s free speech policy and the journalists‘ temporary suspension has been explained yet still struggle with characteristic obstinacy.

But you don't have to take my word for it…

I read every post so trust me you needn’t worry about this.

Yes the leak was pre-Musk. As awesome as he is he has yet to invent a time machine.

The leak occurred before him.
The api was fixed.
Twitter refused to pay a ransom.

What’s to resolve about this leak Bradl?
