Good Strategy, Bad Strategy book is blowing my mind. "Thus, we should seek coordinated policies only when the gains are very large." Simple concept in hindsight but I've done the opposite so many times in my life because I didn't think of it this way.
It’s a cruel trick of modern life to convince us that everyone cares what we’re doing, all the time; that everyone is deeply invested in how we live and how we identify and how we feel. Seriously believing that is enough to make anyone mentally ill.

When people talk about the culture of a city, they usually focus on the food or the wine or the way people talk
I like to pay attention to the way people move around, because it defines the realm of possibilities in that city, and which people you end up meeting

"Customer obsession" --> "obsessed with exploiting our most vulnerable customers" 🤮
MeV is ridiculously contagious; in a population without immunity each infected person might infect 12 to 18 people, but there are outbreaks where it's estimated that there were on average hundreds of new cases from a single person.

Much of the recent discussion around Apple, HEY, In App Purchase (IAP), Subscriptions, the App Store, and the iOS developer community has been about money. Is a 30% cut fair? How about 15%? What if it was 5%?
And some people say “Why not just have a special price in-app that’s…
Apple just called to let us know they're rejecting the HEY Calendar app from the App Store (in current form). Same bullying tactics as last time: Push delicate rejections to a call with a first-name-only person who'll softly inform you it's your wallet or your kneecaps.
