I’m actually very conflicted on my opinion of his micromanaging. On one hand, you’re completely right that a CEO should not be spending their time analyzing the production process to come up with tiny improvements. That’s why you hire competent industrial/process engineers and operations managers.

Amazon lost money because it was building out an infrastructure that is both necessary for and conducive to growth. Amazon becomes more profitable as it scales up (as it offers more products and ships them faster and cheaper to more customers). On the other hand, Uber loses money on every ride, and their costs to…

This has little to do with freedom of speech, as no one is asking for his right to state his opinions to be taken away. In most of the working world, you can be reprimanded and/or fired for saying stupid things, and it’s not an infringement on your freedom of speech. And certainly, the Sunday Times has no obligation…

I had a long-term Dodge Charger rental last summer, which was decent. However, I was forced to exchange it after 30 days, so I was put in a Chrysler 200. As you said, it looked snazzy initially, but it was vastly less ergonomic than the Charger, and I was so annoyed by a multitude of little things that I went back a…

Oh, of course you should have some savings that are easily accessible and safe from the risk of market instability. Most people refer to that as an emergency fund, and there are various guidelines for how big it should be (as well as various ways to structure it so that at least a portion of it is still earning you…

But if you’re not investing any of your money in stocks, you’re missing out. You don’t have to be able to predict anything to make money in the long run. What else are you doing with your savings?

I think his car ownership history suggests he is a car guy: http://www.cnet.com/pictures/the-c…

That was exactly how I was feeling about taking sides; for a while, the Mazda was clearly the reckless one, but after the shoulder move, I had little sympathy for the Lincoln driver.

The first part was on M-14, the second part (after the exit on the left) was on US-23. And yes, I was going to Ann Arbor.

The Lincoln was actually passing other cars (and going close to 10mph over the speed limit) when the Mazda began tailgating. But the Lincoln driver took the tailgating personally, brake checked the Mazda a few times, and then the Mazda driver felt the need to defend her pride. Before the video starts, there were…

Yup, it’s Rain-X, although it’s been much longer than they recommend since I applied a new layer of the stuff.

It’s Rain-X, but it’s been many months since I applied any.

I don’t actually know what the proper way to do that would be, and I’m also a bit weary of somehow getting myself into trouble for driving with one hand and filming with the other (which I felt qualified to do safely).

I was surprised that the Lincoln caught back up after she pulled off to the shoulder. She must’ve been going fairly quickly to make up that time, and it seemed like she wanted to get one last move and therefore tried to pass the Mazda, but got cut off. As I said originally, it’s not very exciting to watch when held up…

Haha yes, I would never disobey Stephen Colbert’s directions.

I also recently captured some road rage. Nothing nearly as exciting, but the stupidity of both of these drivers is palpable. Note that the white Lincoln was not hogging the left lane when the Mazda began tailgating (a few minutes before the video starts). The Mazda had been driving very aggressively up to that point,…

Here’s another good one that made the right choice on soundtrack:

You can't even scratch the surface of its handling prowess on a public road, no matter how tight and twisty that road is. It's on a different level. It's like taking a San Antonio to Dallas flight in the Space Shuttle.
