    Uniqlo HEATTECH T-shirts. I wear these as first layers. They feel good and have a touch of elasticity and never wear out.

    Blackout curtains. I and I imagine, most people, are sensitive to light. Blackout curtains prevent light from reaching your eyes, resulting in your getting more sleep. Eyemasks are…

    Star Wars (1977). I suspect most people who read HN weren't around when this movie came out, but I was around then. There was tremendous hype -- the excitement that this film gener…

    It feels wholesome and healthy to point to WeWork as a thinly-veiled re-packaging of office space and an illustrative example of what's not a "tech" company. With the collapse of t…
