The little puddle that didn’t
Using a bowling analogy, not every ball is a strike. Apple learned that, today. New phone: sure. Revolutionary: not so much. When the best feature is a connector that doesn’t have a “right side up”… However, if this drives the competition to a lower price point, (in the next dozen days), I win. A little like playing the markets. Seriously. In a best case scenario, I could be another $40 richer, just because the “5” has been presented in the temple.
Spent the day trying to get a minor telephony feature to work. Still not sure how successful I was, but the user dataset has been massaged. I’m an old-school database guy. Set your mask, respect it and profit from the stability. In our system, several players added users. It shows.
The local municipal bean counters have told us to be ready. The evaluation role is going to rise, and although the tax bill won’t be locked in (immediately), there’s not a snowball’s chance in Carnaval that the long term trend means money in my pocket. If my house is now worth more, does that mean I’ll do better in resale? Wishful thinking. The market uses the details that help its arguments. That’s it.
The foolish hypothesis (announced yesterday) that the local outbreak of Legionnaires’s Disease was spawned in a mud puddle may have evaporated. Seriously, will the “scientist” that offered that idea for public evaluation ever work again? I may be harsh, but there are twelve dead citizens. A bit of water in a cellar excavation is not likely to explain that one. They didn’t drown.
