Elon’s recent Tweet switching from Delaware to Texas probably raises some questions


Not that HN provides especially reliable advice, but if so, I'm glad OP asked here because at least it may be (in the case of Leftium's comment, probably is) better than acting on any dubious short social media take.

What questions does it raise?

Moved to Cloudflare a while ago and have no complaints.


That’s too bad I love my Instant Pot it’s my favorite kitchen accessory behind my cast iron skillet.


Maybe this won't seriously impact the product line. Looks lime they're filing for Chapter 11, not Chapter 7.


It doesn't really matter. Automatic electric pressure/rice cookers will be a product segment forever.


The Instant Pot’s only remarkable feature is the low price.

Korean brand Cukoo preceded Instant Pot, and will exist for a long time still. Their automatic pressure cookers are better in every way.


How so?


There’s only been incremental improvements to products launched by Steve Jobs under Tim Cook. The only vastly new product category that I can recall they’ve launched under Tim is the Apple Vision Pro. If that becomes a runway success like the iPhone then we can credit it as something launched during Tim’s reign but otherwise he seems to be a good operator not an innovator. The value created is Tim riding on Steve’s success.


Apple Watch? Tim Cook became CEO. The Apple Watch was released in 2015.

The last March End quarter before Tim Cook became CEO was Mar 2011.

Apple’s entire revenue for that quarter was about 24.5Bn (iPhone, mac, software, everything included).

Apple’s wearables alone brought them about $8.5Bn in Mar 2023.

Services, which have largely grown under Tim Cook, is up to $21Bn.


Sure they've grown, but that wasn't anything special that Tim Cook did. They were growing astronomically already. The apple watch was not a game changer at all, it was just an obvious progression and the apple watch literally makes up just over 2% of revenue.

The iPhone changed the world. The iPad changed the world.

Tim Cook just kept the company running and business as usual but they haven't done anything all that exciting.

TBH Microsoft has done way more interesting things in the last 10 years.

Reasonable amount of time is an understatement I purchased an Apple Airport router probably over ten years ago for my parents and it still works flawlessly to this day and receives security updates despite it being discontinued for five years now. The older version has been discontinued longer and it too still receives iirc.
