Also a New Yorker, but my reference point is Hong Kong instead of Europe. Hong Kong has a high speed rail link from the middle of the airport that gets to city centre in 30 mins flat, making two stops along the way at major mass transit jun

One theory for why it isn't acknowledged could be that the creators and trial participants are outside of the Western cultural establishment. The material was discovered and synthesized in India at IIT by a Indian person. The largest c

I was not aware of the practical limitations in connecting PATH to EWR. This makes a lot of sense.

Hong Kong Airport made me realize how idiotic it is that we don't have these rail links: - PATH to EWR - 7 to LGA Not only does Hong Kong have a subway terminating inside the main terminal, it runs separate from their MTR line, takes 3

I love the New Yorker. I have a subscription and I read it regularly. I'm also a hedonistic participant in the "recent arc of food culture" that embraces locally grown ingredients prepared lovingly by chefs with a creative vi

It's not a naive assumption at all. The US has some of the highest entrepreneurship rates in the world despite having a pretty weak government provided social safety net. People would be far more likely to start a company if it didn&#x

People pitching "we're safer now than ever" do so to allay cable news and talk radio induced fears of crime rates and immigration. There's an entirely different discussion to be had about existential threats to humanity,

Does this mean a modern optical mouse wouldn't work on a (hypothetical) plane that is flawless at a resolution higher than the mouse's image sensor?

Having been to the markets myself, I'd say that they're not "no photos" places. The people in them are very camera shy and will typically insist you not capture any identifiable information like the store's name or

It's Johns. One of the things that surprised during my time going to school there was that even buildings less than a year old would have taps with standard levers. I guess they took their own findings to heart.

Harvard is a notoriously easy school - once you get in classes are relatively easy. Grade inflation is rampant. I say this as someone who got in (eventually chose to attend a different school for a variety of reasons) and with many friends

From a product development and deployment perspective, it also makes a lot sense to start in Singapore. Unless a product is completely risk-free, it makes sense to validate outside of the largest and most valuable market.

And even if they try to build a premium hardware division with Oculus, it's unlikely to work. Culture is incredibly sticky and companies rarely succeed in building products that are orthogonal to their culture.

Families across New York City give birth to children, get them to school, do groceries on the back of its transit system. As do people in Hong Kong and Tokyo and Singapore and Seoul and London and Berlin.

The real information here is that 10 square blocks is enough to be 15 percent of the city's inventory. Seattle is tiny. So is SF. I'm amused by how small the core of all of the West coast cities seem to be when people try to convi

I'm a huge fan of Stratechery and Thompson. They've given me powerful ways of thinking about the world. Are there others out there? While Thompson does talk a lot about the intersection of technology with business strategy, he ten
