    I'm looking forward to the day when I can have a physical library at home and the exact same digital library on my Kindle wherever I go. I too think the bundle is a major step in t…

    Thanks Jason for the notes. I too highlight important bits and pieces that I read and type them up later. Having a cliff notes document on each book is useful if I ever need to go …

    Fantastic! Fractals are beautiful by themselves but when found in nature, they're just that much more amazing

    Agreed, I enjoyed "Believe You Can Change" when it was posted on HN and was happy to find out this article was next in line in his "Raw Nerve" series. Thanks and can't wait for the…

    I'm very grateful for Blake Masters taking the time to type up his essays on his class notes for the rest of the world that didn't get to sit in on this class. If he wants to get h…

    Seems like Jamie Quint is following the Simon Sinek Why-How-What strategy. Why you should look at this job, how you'll do the job and what you'll get out of it. I agree that the id…

    Fascinating article, behavioral economics and decision choice are exploding and I'm interested in seeing how habit formation adds to them. I look forward to the author's book being…
