Comment Re:Based on experience, I'm going to go with 'No' (Score 1) 89

"Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.[1][2] It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.[3]".... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I have a MacBookPro9,1 Mid-2012 running macOS Monterey 12.6 just fine. I use OpenCore Legacy Patcher. OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.5.0 supports macOS Ventura for many Intel Macs. Check it out here https://github.com/dortania/Op... . I will be waiting a few weeks to make sure there are no problems with Ventura out of caution but I have no current reason to believe it will not work well.

Comment Negotiation tactic? (Score 3, Informative) 214

At the contracted $54.20 a share for a $44 Billion dollar buyout, we can say that there are roughly 811,808,118 shares. When you times 811,808,118 by $36.81 (TWTR value as of closing today) you get ~$29.88 Billion. That is a $14 billion difference. What is throwing out $1 Billion if you decide to purchase for $10-14 Billion cheaper in next round of negotiation? What is $1 Billion in sunk costs if you were going to throw away another $13 Billion? https://www.npr.org/2022/05/13...

Assume that tech money will come and go. Use the money coming in now to invest in future Seattle. Build subways, railways, etc. Beef-up the infrastructure of public transport with the money you have now. Whether or not tech stays, people will want to live in place where they can get around fast and will not need a car. Logistics and housing are the answers.
