Respect The Weak For Trying

I wonder if we should show respect for those that are currently weaker or younger than us, and shake hands after we win instead of gloating or putting others down at the end of a competition.

Dear Anonymous Athlete,

Thanks

  • You should be very proud of yourself for everything you have achieved in your life
  • You have had an exceptional career as a basketball player due to your hard work
  • You have made your own life as well as your family much better in many ways
  • You have brought joy to many people who enjoy watching a fun competition

Gifts

  • You are also lucky to have been given some incredible and uncommon physical gifts
  • You are lucky to have been given an amazing opportunity and life partially by chance
  • We should realize we could easily have been born as someone else without such gifts
  • We should consider treating opponents and others as we would our young children

Respect The Weak

  • Unwritten rules like not scoring at the end of the game can be confusing to understand
  • I think the reason for this unwritten rule is not so both teams stop trying at the end
  • The weaker team losing should always keep competing until the very end to catch up
  • The stronger team should show some mercy, not run up the score, and shake hands after

Competition Can Be Good

  • Competition is good because it makes all of us better, even the weakest and youngest
  • Competition is good if the older and stronger show respect for the younger and weaker
  • Competition can be bad if the stronger and older do not show some level of respect to those that are currently weaker or younger than them for competing and taking part, which could cause some people, who are not lucky enough to be as intelligent or strong, to give up and not want to compete or contribute to society at all
  • Competition can be bad if the strong rub it in the face of the weak or young at every opportunity and never come to realize or learn to understand that the goal should be to ultimately pass on their superior skills and knowledge to future generations through competition and to make us all better in the process

Ask Open Ended Questions

Ask open-ended questions by remembering the acronym WHI and starting with why, what, how, and in what way, in order to become a better listener who encourages longer and more revealing answers from people.

  • WHI? - Why? - What? How? In what way? - Yes/Open
  • WHO? - Who? - When? Where? Would you? - No/Closed
  • Asking open-ended questions allows others to share their thoughts
  • Asking open-ended questions allows you to become a better listener
  • Why, what, how, and "in what way" encourage long open answers
  • Who, when, where, and "would you" encourage short fixed answers

Change W To One Syllable

I think we should rename and change the pronunciation we use for the letter "w" from its three syllables of "duhble-yoo", to a simpler sound of only one syllable, just like every other letter in the alphabet. I suggest "wee".

What

  • Pronounce the letter "w" as "wee"

Why

  • All other letters in the alphabet are a single syllable
  • Saying the letter "w" becomes shorter and simpler
  • Spelling out words becomes shorter and simpler
  • Reciting the alphabet becomes shorter and simpler

Options

  • wee
  • woo
  • wey
  • voo
  • vey
  • vi

Make Separate Fanless MacBook Chips

I wonder if all MacBooks which are fanless should use separately designed chips, possibly named B-Series and B1, which are more appropriately targeted at the MacBook Air and future powerful fanless devicesΒ without throttling significantly or needing a fan.

Why

  • MacBooks and MacBookOS can be designed and targeted at powerful fanless MacBooks
  • The entire fanless MacBook line could use the same B-Series chips, creating consistency
  • Macs and macOS can be designed and targeted at more powerful Mac devices with fans
  • The entire Mac line with fans could use the same M-series chips, creating consistency

More

  • The MacBook B-Series chips can be targeted at fanless MacBooks and fanless devices
  • The fanless B-Series chips can be targeted exclusively to more powerful fanless devices
  • Powerful fanless chips targeted at larger devices will be needed in future fanless devices
  • Device Ideas - MacBook Air, Apple Vision, iPed Portable Console, MacPad Detachable
