Nice looking and expensive operating system by Apple. Ciro Santilli believes that:
- if you want to be ripped off, just use Microsoft Windows which has more software available
- or if you want to attain Enlightenment, just use Linux, which is free and open source
Co-founder of Apple.
Is Jobs evil? Is he interesting? Undoubtedly.
www.folklore.org/ProjectView.py?project=Macintosh&characters=Steve%20Jobs has some good anecdotes about him.
Ciro Santilli is especially fond of: Jobs and Wozniak's blue box.
Good quotes:
- "Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money." quote at: Section "Don't be a pussy" and the related Jobs and Wozniak's blue box attitude
- "Steve Jobs Insult Response" on backward design
- Steve Jobs Pixar office design philosophy: great ideas happen from chance meetings on corridors, not in board rooms: officesnapshots.com/2012/07/16/pixar-headquarters-and-the-legacy-of-steve-jobs/
- Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address
- Here's to the crazy ones: Ciro would like to believe that this is mostly written by Jobs, but apparently it was just written by an advertisement agency. Good job though.
You must watch this: Video "Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs by Epic Rap Battles of History (2012)".
Evil deeds:
- not recognizing own daughter for many years??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Brennan-Jobs
- lying to Steve Wozniak about the 5000 dollar Atari bonus: web.archive.org/web/20110612071502/http://www.woz.org/letters/general/91.html
- not giving stock to early garage employees: www.businessinsider.com/steve-wozniak-gave-early-apple-employees-10-million-in-stock-2014-9 OK, not a legal obligation. But... love?
This idea also comes up in other sources of course.

Some people say, "Give the customers what they want." But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.
He looks like an older and more experienced dude compared to Bezos at the time.

Cooperativeness refers to the willingness and ability of individuals to work together with others to achieve common goals or objectives. It involves being open to collaboration, showing consideration for others' needs and perspectives, and actively contributing to group efforts. Key aspects of cooperativeness include: 1. **Communication**: Effective communication is crucial for understanding and addressing the needs of the group. 2. **Flexibility**: Cooperative individuals are often adaptable, willing to compromise, and able to handle differing opinions.
The "culture of honor" refers to a social and cultural framework that emphasizes the importance of personal reputation, respect, and the defense of one's honor, often seen in the Southern United States. This concept has its roots in the historical context of the region, particularly influenced by a combination of factors including the legacy of herding economies, the social dynamics of the early settlers, and the legacy of feuds and violent conflict that shaped community life.
Moral injury refers to the psychological, emotional, or spiritual harm that occurs when individuals violate their own moral or ethical beliefs, often in situations where they feel they cannot act in accordance with their values. It is commonly discussed in contexts such as military combat, healthcare, and other high-stress professions where individuals may be faced with morally challenging decisions.
The evolution of morality refers to the development of human moral frameworks and ethical reasoning over time, both in individuals and societies. This concept can be examined from various perspectives, including biological, psychological, sociocultural, and philosophical angles. Here are some key aspects of the evolution of morality: 1. **Biological Perspective**: - Evolutionary biologists suggest that moral behaviors have roots in the social behaviors of our ancestors.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
