They ask it where the next eclipse is, and where best to watch it. They got the date right, but the suggested locations of Timor and Australia are not in the eclipse path. https://…

The tl;dr of the entire article is “buy and hold low cost index funds” (see final two or three paragraphs).

Related to this quote, I don’t think we’re guaranteed access to better content. I think we’re guaranteed to more prolific cheap to produce content. Think Instagram era relative to …

You need to keep your head on a swivel walking around Hoboken. My son got hit in his stroller in a well marked crosswalk by someone improperly passing a car that had stopped for us…

A society in which almost all are working not out of pure altruism, but out of necessity to satisfy their own selfish needs.

I used to be motivated by pure technical immersion. I loved knowing about software, hardware, networking, breathing it in and feeling energized by it. I’ve worked on major successe…
