I’m aware that delegating can be tricky. It’s uncomfortable, and it’s often problematic. I heard this from anyone has a managing or team leading role: it’s difficult to find the right person, to choose the appropriate tasks to give him, and to evaluate the proper support to give him. It’s a hard nut to crack. Better to do himself, they said.

Imagine if Chrome could deplete your iPhone battery as fast as it does your MacBook battery. Imagine if you were one of the millions (zillions?) of people whose “incognito mode” browsing history was observed and stored by Google and deleted only after they lost a lawsuit.
