And now we build B21s


Is it entitled to want to live in the city you were born in and grew up in?


Maybe for the fabs? It might be attractive for Apple to move production state side via Intels fabs but on the other hand I don't think Intels fabs can do what Apple wants


That would work if the fabs were competitive. For Apple, they are technologically behind.


Depends on what Apple wants…

Yes Congressman, we agree to take over Intel fabs if you agree to drop this antitrust nonsense. And we would like our $20B from Google back too.


I had a friend who had exactly this happen, they wanted to switch teams and suddenly they had a PIP( that they were not even told about but which blocked the process ). She had to get the manager on the other team to investigate and once he started digging he found a completely empty draft PIP in place of a actual one. When he brought that up it disappeared the next day without a response from the original manager :////


Eh I mean it would depend on how your doing it really, Im thinking its the difference between "hey sorry to interrupt, I have a question do you have a minute?" vs "hey {question}"


What became of "don't ask to ask" (https://dontasktoask.com/)? Although it may take some getting used to, I find it convincing that one shouldn't need to ask about whether it'd be OK to ask for short questions because the question for permissing is interrupting just as much as the actual question except that with the former it may be impossible to estimate how complex it is whereas it may be much easier to decide if the question is known.

For longer issues, could it make more sense to schedule an (online) meeting?

And on the receiving side of interruptions: Ocasionally it has helped me to just keep the "chat app" closed when I want to concentrate on something. If anyone has something urgent, they could always elevate to performing an old-style synchronous phone call, but interestingly this rarely happens with "text-chat" people :)


that's similar to the no hello movement. if you're going to ask a question over chat, just ask it, we don't need the pretend conversation around it, and by saying hello you've already interrupted me.
