When I want to work on my projects, I just start my EC2 instance, run Projector on it, then open a Chrome tab and I’m re

Business is not easy despite what you may read online. Sometimes no path is positive and the lesser of two evils must be chosen. The short term nature of Warren’s question can obstruct good decision making. It may be better to announce 20% job losses today and save the company than to go bankrupt in a year out of “integrity”.

Is GM in danger, the same as Kodak was before it went down the tubes in the ‘oughts? The same as Nokia before it, too, went from having the “it” product to the dustbin, as easy as you can spell iPhone?

The idea behind Projector is simple but rather brilliant. It intercepts drawing commands from the IDE (or any Swing application) with a custom drawing engine (AWT implementation) that instead of rendering things on screen, records each command, serializes them and sends them to a web client. The web client interprets those drawing commands and renders them in a web page. The web client records keyboard and mouse input, and sends it back to the IDE via AWT.

The truth is we don’t live in a perfect way and even Warren Buffett has made some questionable decisions. His questions can help to determine your underlying motives for the choices you make. Yet beware of applying them too literally and be mindful that life is usually more nuanced.

“Any publicity is good publicity” is an old cliché but one some businesspeople still believe. The question is completely neutralized when a leader’s narcissism is more important than the success of the company. When you don’t care who you hurt with your decisions then everything passes the test. Donald Trump is a master here, whatever newspapers print about him is good because he can flip it to work in his favor.

Hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to knowing which new companies will become juggernauts and which current ones will suffer a forlorn demise. But in GM’s defense, one can fairly argue that, unlike Kodak, Nokia, and other ignominious has-beens, it has been neither blind nor behind the curve. In 2012, before anyone else, GM delivered a plug-in hybrid called the Volt. In 2017, months before Tesla launched its Model 3 sedan, GM debuted the similarly priced, all-electric Bolt. Both the Volt and Bolt were declared car of the year by Motor Trend. Now, GM is saying it will have 30 new electric vehicles on the road by 2025, starting with the Hummer and Cadillac Lyriq next year, and eventually will do away with its combustion fleet entirely.

If you are ok with your choices being public then it passes and you uphold your principles. Yet there’s a problem when you make a choice which you’d be ashamed to see on the front cover the next day. If you consistently make decisions that make you feel queasy then maybe you’re lying to yourself about what your principles are.

Transparency is proven to improve employee happiness and consumer loyalty. It makes sense logically as if you want to hide details then you can’t be proud of them. Sooner or later people will realize this and your reputation will suffer.

A change to the medium of the question could be more illuminating. I have immense respect for Guy Raz’s podcast guests as he asks awkward questions about the less glamourous parts of their lives. He refuses guests who demand censorship of specific events.

Over the last couple of weeks, senior GM executives have been on a PR blitz to assert that the answer is not only no but hell no. In an appearance on the Freakonomics podcast, CEO Mary Barra admitted that all the world’s auto incumbents won’t “necessarily successfully make the transition” to the apparent new age of electric vehicles. But she strongly suggested that GM would not be one of the fatalities. As did her vice president for EVs, Ken Morris, who said this week on Axios’ Re:Cap podcast that GM is not only moving aggressively into the new world but is in the process of flipping over its entire fleet to electric. “An all-electric company is the ultimate goal,” Morris said.

If you were scheduled for a probing interview, would you feel the need to block a subject? Unlike the newspaper test, you have a chance to justify a superficially immoral decision. When you can’t then it tells you everything you need to know about your integrity.

kes: It’s great to keep souvenirs or little gifts from family and friends, but do you really need to keep them all? Birthday cards, broken gifts, souvenirs from your first trip with your high school sweetheart you haven’t seen for decades. If they are too old or useless, toss them!

The beauty of this approach is that even with a slow connection, it renders crisp, pixel-perfect fonts and UI, because it understands the underlying software, so it can render fonts in vector format. Input is also very responsive, because the protocol is specialized, and therefore optimized. This is the killer advantage over more generic remote desktop solutions like VNC, which stream pixels directly. Remote desktops solutions usually render blurry fonts and feel unresponsive over slow connections.
