Has anyone successfully outsourced a majority of their house and yard maintenance/projects? What are you outsourcing versus doing yourself?

The interesting difference in changes in the auto industry is there are so many auto companies, unlike the phone OS business, which ended up being Apple and Android/Google. Apple launched the rectangle iPhone and everyone followed. Not the case with Tesla.
General Motors says it will not adopt a vision-only approach to autonomous driving, saying that dropping radar is a "weird religious stance that ignores physics." "If you scale back to vision-only, physics suggests you’ll be in trouble in certain situations. Radar is so cheap that dropping it doesn’t make sense—dropping it is a weird religious stance that ignores physics," GM Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson said. GM says it plans to launch an autonomous driving feature for the highway by 2028. Full article: insideevs.com/news/813467/gm…

The large companies really have their mass firing flows down. It's one of the things they do best! Access removal, badge deactivation, physical exiting, laptop management.

My grandmother has been in a place for 18 years. It's more of a retirement community though where she transitions from independent to assisted to end of life. Large buy in price and varying monthly cost. Not all these places are the same.
When people talk about assisted living it's clear that they're imagining basically healthy -- just older -- people living full lives in managed spaces. To be fair, this is also how it's depicted in TV and movies. This is not what nursing homes are actually like, to state the obvious. Healthy, functioning people do not typically enter nursing facilities to live for long stretches. They live alone or with family. The people in nursing home typically require significant monitoring and care and by the time it comes to that, what happens is that they spend down their assets until Medicaid takes over, and you're thankful for it, because they require more care than you could possibly give. This is just the reality of the situation.

I had a coworker who would end meetings with "I'll give you back 5 minutes of your life by ending early." ⌛️
Normalize cutting the tension in a meeting by ending it with, “We’re all gonna die one day, so none of this really matters.”

Who's going to fix plane boarding and deboarding? What a waste of human time affecting billions of person flights every year. ✈️ 🧳

Went to a nice restaurant last night. $9 for the kids menu for a basic burger, mac and cheese, or tacos and a small side. I'm old enough to remember when it was $9 for an amazing burger in year 2000. 🍔

Does OpenAI just do a full rebrand at this point? They aren't 'open' and the whole switch to 'SI'.
