You keep doing it. The more you try, the more you get over that fear, and understand you can learn what you put your mind to. That also means you get better at understanding how you learn, and prioritizing what to learn as there is just to

Curious what you mean by no landmarks. I'm typing on a 2017 keyboard and it has the raised marks on the 'F' and 'J' keys to orient for touch typing like every other keyboard I can remember.

Interesting! That’s new to me, and honestly a benefit in places like SF, where dropping someone off or picking someone up at a specific address might involve numerous annoying loops / turns around one way streets, where the passenger c

I think it's easy to forget about how widespread the reach of these platforms is. The article talks about fans from all over the world. I'm sure there are a number of chronically super depressed, super isolated individuals, but ev

Grew up in California, after college moved to DC. 2 years into that, I decided the path I was on wasn't for me, and moved to South America to study Spanish for a few months. Ended up loving it in Buenos Aires, and lived there for about

Primogeniture was pretty common in the middle ages in Europe. I've read arguments that it's a big reason why the Normans basically went out conquering England, the Mediterranean, etc.

Even more amazing in airports like SFO where baggage claim is after security, such that anyone can wander in off the curb and pick up a bag. I think this is uniquely American though.

I'm not too sure. I think there's a lot of value in a centralized identity management system. Facebook seems to have filled that role. I can see a near future where it acts as a sort of SSO for the web. That doesn't necessari
