Success can mean different things to different people. Nowadays, most of us just implicitly default to career as being the source of success. We should be encouraging students to practice more self-reflection on their personal values and wh

I read somewhere that the purpose of monks for society was to meditate outside of the demands and temptations of daily life, allowing them to make the wisest and clearheaded decisions. Jack Dorsey kind of reminds me of that.

I think companies need to test their UI's with senile people first. Nothing has given me more insight into user experience than watching my grandma trying to use an iPad.

It doesn't surprise me one bit that we have a very poor understanding of how to treat depression. I think we often have a reductionist view of it. The fact that a whole constellation of causes is referred to as just 'depression&#x

I think it really depends on the kind of person you are. If you're seeking fast pace and get bored easily, a startup is the right place to be. Otherwise, if you're like me, you can lead a pretty satisfying career in a large compan

So how does Uber benefit from pairing you with another commuter? Will you negotiate a price and then Uber takes a cut?

To be honest, this wouldn't make me feel much better after a rejection. I already know the process is sometimes arbitrary and up to luck.

For some reason imagined folding fan as some compact mechanically fan that could be compacted. Then I googled it and turns out it's just a paper fan. Very disappointed

I like that the intention behind this, but it seems so naive to me. What's preventing it from going down the path of product hunt... which I'm sure had a similar mission early on.

Slack is great and all, but I personally don't feel like it's revolutionary. It's just an iterative improvement over a chat client, nothing groundbreaking there.

But where else will I look to not be awkward?!

Cool that they have $1 billion pledged. Curious how they will decide compensation, seeing as a lot of these figures would be making a ton in the industry.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought the one supposed 'major' update did not add very many useful features and made the UI look cluttered. Also, it ran surprisingly well for a webview app, I don't see why they felt the

Wow, seems like Apple is following the steps of Microsoft now!

Apple totally has the resources to make a great native app experience, even if it's much more tedious. I don't see why they don't go the extra mile, especially since the app store generates so much revenue...

Okay yeah there might be a lot of flaws or criticisms about this, but at the end of the day, this is a net win for society. Go Mark and Priscilla!

Fascinating. I wonder if their meditation practice enabled them to live on such a restricted diet. Surviving a year eating only bark and pine needles does not seem possible...
