Re:The worst volume control user interfaces (2017)

The touchbar’s volume control on the new mac is pretty bad. You have to click the speaker icon once to bring up the bar, then look at it and drag it to the desired position.
What makes sense is really just a up and down, or a knob. Volume isn’t something most users can judge visually.

I have always thought Uber drivers are either mispricing their vehicle cost, or doing some sort of tax optimisation.
If you have a nice car that you only drive a little bit on the weekend, so that most of the cost is in the fixed stuff (age based depreciation (a 5 years old Porsche with 0 mile is still 5 years old), insurance, parking etc), and the tax man let you allocate cost based on miles driven (I am not based in the US), then Uberring where you "try to get business" by driving up and down a highway would be great.

Self driving cars have nothing to do with what Uber has been up to, and having a lot of cash isn't really a competitive advantage when your competitors are Google, Tesla and other car manufactures.

A MBA below a certain level is worse than not having a MBA at all, people just assume you couldn't get a job.

Exactly, and then one has to deal with the runtime and GC.

Microkernels are designed to let users implement those things on top of them.
