Financialization of everything. Like how the Boeing ceo has zero engineering, production experience is going about as well as you'd expect. "The product is the stock"

They have to pay in rubles, which are also strong vs euro

Constraints can be liberating and increase focus and creativity. See limited budget films vs formulaic blockbusters, or even twitters orignal 140 limit and how it led to the platfo…

Thank you, I will look into this. I am worried about it happening again lol

Yes, luckily I had read about this and just upgraded my insurance for theft the month before

I do like Kindle Paperwhite after switching over, but I do think the Nook I used before was better designed in terms of the hand weight/feel, the tactile buttons to turn pages on t…

This passage from raptitude post always sticks in my head, comparing 2 mental approaches to a disgusting part of a cleaning job he was squeamish about, basically practice to feel &…

I had never heard this, potentially SV history changing story before... He recalls a story from his and Mr. Musk’s PayPal days, when Mr. Musk joined the engineering team’s poker ga…
