This is a marketing piece that can’t be taken seriously without that context, or maybe one that can’t be taken seriously at all. And yet I can’t help thinking we’re missing the for…

I understand the following isn’t the point of this piece and yet I still can’t help wondering: How much better off we would all be if “senior management” stopped playing these game…

First off, I appreciate the thorough explanation and review of the ZSA Moonlander. That said, I’m here to discuss the “visual ergonomics” of this post. Why is justified text so bad…

Interruptions are productivity and creativity killers. Middle managers are of questionable utility but that layer of an organization would be much more effective if it focused ruth…

So we’re back to the idea that only philosopher kings can shape and rule the ideal world? Plato would be proud! Jests aside, I love the idea of incorporating an all encompassing AI…

I too have survivorship bias that I try to explain away with self serving theories and ideas that pit my special nature against the tendencies of the inferior masses. In my case I …

There are many ways to reason ethically about your situation, and you could start by using historical philosophers as inspiration. Bentham might apply if you consider the overall o…

I think a better title might be “Memorize Exponentially” because that seems to be the true gist of the article. There are undoubtedly many areas in which memorization is useful. I …

It was a cool job until the newspaper business imploded. I have yet to experience anything even remotely close to the buzzing productivity of a newsroom minutes before the press de…

I was a newspaper layout designer in a previous life. The only complaint I have about HN is the line length on large-ish screens. In my newspaper days we stuck to around 60 charact…

I love used bookstores and my retail business is right next door to one that I mostly despise. The shelves are literally overflowing and there is no rhyme or reason to shelf organi…

The article explains this but the link scrolls to the third paragraph. For anyone who missed it: > If you are a guitarist, you might notice that there is something strange about he…

Actually the current REI return policy has a time limit of 1 year. It changed in 2013: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/rei-now-limiting-retur... Before that there was no time…

According to the 2020 census data linked below the percentage increases to around 24% for individuals who worked full time all year. I don’t think there is any easy way to find the…

What if this article is missing the forest for the trees a bit? In my experience performance advertising is almost always paired with awareness advertising. The latter makes you aw…

I started working for a newspaper just after 2007-08 hit and hastened the decline of the already struggling industry. One day, after working diligently on the job for a few months,…

If you were intrigued by the headline and ultimately let down by this post (like me) then I highly recommend reading “Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in…

It’s interesting that you chose 2019 to grow, wasn’t that an off year for elections and political spend? Either way congrats on starting your own agency! I was an early employee at…

I read Don Thompson’s “The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art” last year. It was published in 2008 (interestingly the day before Lehman went bankr…

I check back on Derick Sivers recommendations often at https://sive.rs/book See below for some recommendations based on my 2020 reading. Fiction recommendations: - A Little Life by…

I would opt in to this. I read 100+ books a year, not all digitally however. If this was real my reading would probably look like this: 1. Buy ebooks and read them at the same rate…

Fact: You are conflating two separate instances where Trump bullied reporters to make your point. Instance from 2018 (with what you termed “racist” insinuations): https://youtu.be/…

I agree with your use of “chilling” but more in the traditional sense when it comes to expression: that any censorship/bans/etc will likely have a chilling effect on this type of s…

This is an interesting approach and I hope it results in great work/results/progress in the climate change space. Are there any other examples of funding at a relatively low dollar…

Increasing ridership can come from tech but I think it’s much more likely to come from better and more bike-centric infrastructure and norms. Separated bike paths, bike storage, sh…
