Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' dad Paul taught him how to build a fence around their home in Mountain View, California. The process taught him how to be detail-oriented, a mindset he enforced at Apple, Jobs' biographer Walter Isaacson told CBS's "60 Minutes" in 2011. As Jobs told Isaacson, "He loved doing things right." At Apple, Jobs made sure every detail was of the highest quality, Isaacson wrote in the "Steve Jobs" biography. "Give every f---ing ounce of effort you can; to give the best performance you can give," Johnson wrote in a 2017 Instagram post.

AdvertisementAndrew Yeung, a former product lead at Google and Meta, predicted in May that overseas workers who get their AI glow-up will someday take over numerous jobs. And it's not just learning about AI, but learning from AI. AI is also making it cheaper to bring lessons on AI and other topics to people in languages other than English.

New York CNN —Whiskey, steaks and ties are all typical gifts for Father’s Day, but one specifically made for the holiday takes the cake: Fudgie the Whale. Ice cream cakes quickly flew off the shelves, first created in the mid-1950s, and twenty years later he thought of making a cake for Father’s Day. Fudgie helped Father’s Day become Carvel’s busiest day of the year for buying cakes, Salerno said. Fudgie’s popularity extends beyond Father’s Day, Salerno said, popular for other occasions like birthdays and anniversaries, too. The Fudgie family expanded this year with the introduction of Fudgie Pops, which are mini Fudgie cake pops on a stick.

We were planning to move back to the United States, so I began learning about childcare programs for military families in the US. We lost so much money while trying to find an approved daycare center that we ended up living paycheck to paycheck for a year. Since we couldn't get approved for the 90-Day Looking-for-Work program, I applied to another childcare subsidy program for military families, the MCCYN+ program. Many military families need help with childcareI accepted my new job offer and was hired as a contractor for the Military Family Readiness System. Because I became an expert in this situation, I began advocating for other military families.

Read previewAn early passenger on OceanGate's Titan submersible didn't realize how close he was to experiencing the "catastrophic" failure that sealed the vessel's fate in 2023 until a year after the incident. In April 2019, Karl Stanley, a fellow submersible expert, joined his peer, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, near the Bahamas to take a dive in an early iteration of the Titan vessel. Stanley, Rush, and two other passengers successfully plunged more than 12,000 feet — a depth that closes in on the Titanic's wreckage, which sits at the bottom of the Atlantic at about 12,500 feet. According to Wired, this defect forced Rush to delay the trip to the Titanic and build another Titan submersible. "I just surfaced from a 4-hour dive," Stanley wrote to BI on Thursday.

In an ordinary industrial building off a busy Orange County street, a Seussian contraption, nearly 100 feet long, clattered to life. The room filled with the hum and squeaks of belts and machinery. Like passengers on a dark amusement ride, bundles of colorful magazine pages, printed a week earlier, began a wild, circuitous journey, through tunnels and up ramps, that lasted a few minutes. The long edge of each new 130-page sheaf was dipped into a pool of melting glue, then dropped into a U-shaped cover. After drying during a series of slow corkscrews, the new magazine’s edges were chopped smooth by guillotines and emerged through an opening.

☆ Jeff Bezos is a 'brilliant man' for what he's done at Whole Foods, says ex-CEO: 'He thinks really long term'

In the eyes of Whole Foods co-founder John Mackey, Jeff Bezos is a "brilliant man" — all because of a few price cuts at the grocery chain. Whole Foods was struggling with declining sales when Bezos' Amazon bought the grocery chain for $13.7 billion in 2017. Shoppers were already looking elsewhere after larger, less expensive rivals like Walmart started stocking more organic foods to appeal to Whole Foods' target customers. That included producing a greater number of products from Whole Foods' in-house 365 brand, which Amazon also started selling online. "I hardly ever hear the 'whole paycheck' narrative any longer—that's due to Amazon," Mackey said.

Following a continued slide, the company laid off roughly 10% of its staff in November 2022, according to people familiar with the matter.

In other words, they were faking work, perhaps with the kind of mouse jiggler that you can buy online for $20. At any rate, some bankers over at Wells Fargo seem to have gotten caught last month. “And that’s a symptom of a much larger problem.”In Wells Fargo’s case, managerial mistrust would be understandable, given the bank’s history. Since then, Wells has been trying to reform its own internal culture while trying to repair its brand.
