No, my argument is: if you do not know how to navigate power, you have no business on a board that purports to govern a fast-growing, prominent and critical organization. This board does not exist to serve itself, its abstractions or its un

Any board member who believes it is her duty to destroy the organization she pledged to serve should simply step down. The folks who argue that it is a CEO's duty to serve the board do not understand governance or power. Open AI would

I just hope everybody knows that "on-prem" means about 10,000 things when it comes to installs and integrations. And that's why small b2b teams should focus on SaaS first. You don't want to build 10k versions of your pro

The amount of negative energy on this page is astonishing. I assumed HN was a gathering place for technologists and builders, but it really seems like it's a place for carpers who hate what's new.

I agree. I find the tone so tiresome, partially because it is mean and simplistic. I don't feel like he's going deep or considering things intelligently. He's reached his conclusions and is preaching a dogma/vibe now.

Given that the risk of dementia can be reduced with regular exercise and improved blood flow to the brain, would it be reasonable to assume that those two things have some relation to ADHD? https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/abou

The headline is misleading and kind of troll-y. Sure, self-optimizers can get in their own way, like everybody else, because there are lots of ways to try to improve, and not all of them work. This guy is basically saying he learned to focu

I fully support critical ignoring, and would just note that it has to be done programmatically. That is, you have to block things before they appear on the screen, through many of the tools mentioned in this thread. (For those who have to i

Very relevant, thank you! I've always liked the quote from Borges, which I hope is not apocryphal, that 'The original is unfaithful to the translation.' I'm not sure I buy his analogy that multiple drafts of a single wor

Tangentially, I'd like to just plug the translations Robert Fitzgerald made of the Iliad and the Odyssey in the 1960s and 70s. Your experience of these books will very much come down to the translation you choose. In America at least,

Speaking as a former journalist, I would say: It's the job of reporters to do more than explore a question. Their job is to surface new and useful information for readers, and then prioritize it. And the job of the headline is to teleg

This book dates from 1973. Its author John Nash was born in 1909. At the risk of being that guy , Huberman has a great episode on how lights, both natural and artificial can affect your health, supported by more recent science: https:

Modern America reserves walkability for college campuses (which explains some of the nostalgia that attaches to them); golf courses and shopping malls -- which may explain part of their popularity.
