That was the case when I owned iPhone 4S. I think that around iOS 9 it was poorly usable partially because developers ignored its dimensions.

That's a pity. I still think that 3.5" is the best smartphone size and I would pay good money to buy modern smartphone with good internals. But it does not make sense, even if some Android manufacturer would create it, apps and websites will ruin it.

Financial jargon.

Buy-side are traditionally firms that are the "leaf" of the system: investment funds, hedge funds, etc. These are buyers of services.

Sell side refer to firms that are selling a service for the buy side, brokers, banks, etc.
It's also about ekeing out any additional labor because the employer pays a flat rate. It doesn't matter if 20-40 of the hours after 40 hours only gain 10% additional work relative to the 90% done in the first 40 hours. That's still a 10% gain for the business at no cost. Employees are going to cycle out anyways naturally looking for better opportunities so who cares if they get burnt out?

Exempt positions shouldn't be an option in any industry, in my opinion. As they become the norm everywhere they become an excuse to abuse labor for whatever reason the employer decides.
Whenever I try to 'push' myself I always remind myself of about 8 years ago when it was 12 - 16 hours on the computer, sleep and repeat.

In my mind at the time I felt like it was being productive and doing good. Reality was that it was a lot of clicking around, trying to focus was impossible and my productivity was just shot.

Now I work solidly for 7 hours and that's it. If I have enough juice to be able to focus on an article or do some of my course then I'll do it but if I have to re-read the same sentence 3 times, I tap out. Tomorrow is a new day and so far my obsession with 'optimizing' every waking minute has provided me with exactly nothing so now I'm trying to switch things up to a more placid life.

> What the corporations are expecting is less clear. They are doing well under a model of capitalism with a woke branding.

The market isn't unlike a heat engine - if there is a heat difference somewhere, it means there's energy to be extracted equilibrizing that difference. Corporations don't really care about what ideologies are in conflict in the society - they align themselves along the best value gradient and pump it for all it's worth.

In this particular case: lots of people respond to woke ideas, and those people tend to control important marketing amplifiers (Internet media), so being seen as woke is a profitable strategy. For the same reason, you also see a lot of environmental awareness undertones in marketing these days - people who care about it respond to it positively, people who don't care just ignore it, so it's a profitable move to be seen as environmentally conscious.

> not much left of a personal life if you are working an 80+ hour week

To be fair, it is made abundantly clear to anyone going into investment banking that they should not expect a personal life in their first few years. Similar to law or medicine.
Yes. Some things that are taken for granted in the US that I haven't seen in the UK:

- Being in high demand, especially after your first job in the industry. Nope, every job search is as difficult as the first one and there are no companies competing to have me on.

- Being able to get a FAANG job as long as you're great at algorithm problems. Nope, those companies have limited presence in the UK, their salaries aren't nearly as good as in the US, it's tough to get an interview and there are no UK equivalents to them. So even if I'm the best at whiteboard problems, that makes no difference to my career.

- High salaries, both right out of university and later in one's career. Or tech salaries being much higher than other industries. In the UK tech is just another group of okay-ish white-collar jobs.

I guess I would assume that it produces better outcomes from the company perspective but honestly can't think of a good counter-example to use as a comparison. After enduring the hazing it is much easier to convince you to do things that might be a bit morally questionable (e.g. shifting your personal ethical Overton window) by reminding you in subtle ways of what you endured to reach this point, what it means to others that have endured with you, etc.

I would assume that in certain adversarial environments it is better to have a small team that will focus on a goal without question than one in which either the goal or the means to accomplish it are ever up for questioning, but someone with any knowledge of academic research on leadership and team dynamics can probably answer better than I.

CoL is far weirder. First, it is not the same as "London", it is just the central part of London. CoL has a different election system from all other parts of England, corporations get a vote (actually, several, how many depends on size and kind of business, derived from the ancient guild system) and outnumber residents by far. This also includes voting the sherrifs into office, explaining the firmly pro-business stance of the police. The CoL also owns properties outside it's own domain, even public grounds in Northern Ireland (via an intermediary). Large parts of the CoL and thereby electoral votes in the CoL are owned by the Crown, the royal family and various lords. This explains the CoL escaping all attempts at reforming it into something more democratic and into a normal part of the city of London (note the non-capital 'c' in 'city').

Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London if you are interested.

If you want to know how ancient and ingrained the weirdness of the CoL is, look no further than to one of three clauses of the Magna Carta still in effect:
"IX. THE City of London shall have all the old Liberties and Customs which it hath been used to have. Moreover We will and grant, that all other Cities, Boroughs, Towns, and the Barons of the Five Ports, as with all other Ports, shall have all their Liberties and free Customs."

I appreciate the warning, though I think that I've already cultivated this type of attitude. I have a healthy amount of cynicism towards certain things thanks to reading about other people's experiences.

Of course, Big Law works on a similar model. associates get billed out for far more than they make so it's in the interests of partners to generate lots of billable hours.

M&A work is mostly speculative work (pitching to potential buyers), the more opportunities you find and present properly the more money you make.
As a consequence, there is an infinite amount of work that can be done and a pool of hungry junior analysts that is willing to do the maximum amount of work they can to promote into the few positions that actually talk to the clients.

When a deal is actually in the works the buyer, the seller and the investment bank want to close it as soon as possible putting all the time pressure on the lawyers and investment bank analysts to finish everything as soon as possible. In this case you need a team that's used to work 100 hours a week to deliver. There's a saying that "time kills all deals".

Adding more analysts is not going to "fix" that periodically the team needs to have no personal life.

It's only a small step to go from this level of commitment 15-25 times per year, to fill up all their remaining time with speculative work that could bring a deal to the table.

The work they do is not specifically high-skill, most university grads can do it and the starting pay is higher then other options so they get ambitious, money-oriented grads willing to churn and burn for a while in the hopes of promoting.

Now let's consider what happens when HR decides to institute normal working hours. Letting them work like normal employees goes directly against your bottom line (less profit, less bonus for the MD's) and come crunch-time if a deal fails because your clients are waiting for a junior analyst to do his work, your clients will +hate+ you and tell everybody.

Personally, I never thought getting into that line of work is worth it but nobody is forcing those analysts to work there. The slavery is entirely voluntary, they can and often do leave for more normal jobs. They are very easily replaced for an equally skilled worker.

Add that investment banks are riddled with zero-empathy psychopaths and you get a perfectly toxic culture that attracts and retains precisely the types of people that are willing to work in and perpetuate such an environment.

The best analogy is Turkey: gargantuan clotted Istanbul vs nice and quiet Ankara. While almost 20% of turks are living in Istanbul, situation in Egypt is even worse: about 30% of egyptians are living or working in Cairo-Giza conglomerate. It's pretty almost unlivable place by Western standards, besides several districts like Maadi or Garden City.

Considering vast size of Cairo, this new "capital" de facto will become another higher standard city district, which is not bad, I think.

BTW, another Cairo project is new airport and giant museum right by the Great Pyramids of Giza. It also makes a great sense to reroute touristic flow from central Cairo with its popular museums but nothing particular interesting besides.

Why would you? There are a tiny share of small screen size phones out there, and often you need a substantially different design for a small screen. Basically you are doubling the layout effort on your designers and app developers (or let's say 1.3 times modifier at least), and those designs have to be maintained as well.

The alternative is to really have a "one size fits all" design, but this will likely mean making compromises on larger screens.

Mobile development is expensive, and there's already enough to deal with to support backwards compatibility, and localization. It's just not economical to support small phones which almost nobody is using.

> have rarely seen traders working weekends

Traders don't work these hours. Bankers do.

As the old joke goes, a bank trusts young bankers with PowerPoint, young traders with its balance sheet. A sleepy trader could lose the bank millions. A sleepy analyst might, at worst, typo a spreadsheet that gets reviewed by an associate. Banks are incentivized to avoid sleepless traders in a way they aren't with analysts. Also, exchanges shut down at night--nobody is gaining an edge by staying up until 3AM. (Counterfactual: FX.)

(Disclaimer: I chose trading over banking. Mostly because the people were more fun. But being able to go home at 6PM on Friday, having put in your 60 hours, and turn off until 6AM on Monday was no small matter, either.)
For Clubhouse app, it seems deliberate tho'. It looks cut-off on my iPhone 11 Pro too.
I have been hearing similar arguments for a long time. It used to be "tesla has one tiny factory, just wait until Toyota converts it's many huge factories to electric".

We've had this discussion on HN before and I'll make the same point, because this is very similar with responsive websites as well. All too often I see designs that don't think about odd size tablets, or (as here) phones less than 375 or 414, or whatever else.

It absolutely boggles my mind, especially when you can attribute a "this is how much these users spend" amount to it (an ecom store, for instance). Most of the time it's not much extra effort to make it work properly (or even if you remove features, just keep it tidy), and absolutely worth it it real money terms.

What happens to that phenomenon when rates rise and the cost of money increases?
So part of getting on the ride at Six Flags is knowing when to get off.

How much money is enough, exactly? To cover your needs and a comfortable life, that'd be $2m of even lower.

If you're making 7 figures, you could make that pretty damn quick and then get out if you wanted to. Some people do this. I've seen stories about people who quit finance by the time their 30 because it's not what their passion is, they want to spend time with family or whatever.

But money can be a trap. If you're making $5m/year, it's easy to think that if you stay another year you'll walk away with another $2-3m (after taxes). I bet that's hard to walk away from. Also, people's standard of living often rises with income so you might be making $5m/year but now you have to pay the mortgage on a 4000 sq ft apartment overlooking Central Park, your house in Southhampton, your 4 cars and a boat.

Anthony Levandowski was a classic example of this. Paid $120m+ by Google. That's more money than any reasonable person needs for a lifetime. But he got greedy. Think about that. Why get greedy when you have more than you could possibly need?

For some I suspect it's not to much the money but it's the power and the ego. You like being seen as a huge success. You like the attention that gets you.

So I have no issues with business grads seeking to make their fortune in investment banking (even though I think that industry as a whole adds pretty limited value to humanity; but that's a separate topic). But if you can't get out and lose everything else as you chase even more money... well, that's on you.
