   Good visualization, and kudos to the author for creating this. BUT, as others have observed, this vis doesn't make an attempt at comprehensiveness. One glance at "World Music" categorization is enough to drive home that concl

   Lovely writing, beautiful prose, and more importantly, very cogently argued for a more meditative, attentive life. The thoughts expressed aren't entirely new; indeed Buddhism has been teaching this for millennia (or two). But, good to

   Absolutely chuffed to hear that Daren Acemoglu (one of my fav econ writers), Simon Johnson and Robinson won the Nobel memorial prize. Acemoglu has been a brilliant and prolific econ writer, and I enjoy his exposition. Many have commented on

   Fantastic app, good, clean design, and a very useful use-case. I can see myself using it. However, a few questions: 1. Can I self-host it? If so, how? 2. Can I connect to a "private" Github repo? (I dont want my personal notes pu

    Thanks for this brief endorsement. I'll add it to my list of books to read... Currently, running a rather high tsundoku... My own fav is also called Consolation of Philosophy but it's by Alain de Botton, one of my fav contempo

    Fascinating vulnerability, and a fascinating way to catch it. Kudos. BTW, on Arc's website on "Security" there still is no mention of this vulnerability (as of 20th Sep 2024, 2:32 pm PT) Check it out - https://arc.

    This would make for a great case study in corporate governance. I hope someone is writing a book on _Corporate Governance in Silicon Valley_, and include stories from, say, 23andMe, OpenAI, WeWork, Uber, and tons more. I'd pay $$ to re

    This is encouraging. We need more of these EV retro-fit kits in developing countries, where buying EVs is prohibitively expensive. Obviously, we need a way of safety certifying the kits and the end product as well. Uruguay is among the most
