Thanks for the history PSA. That wasn't the point of my comment. North America has been settled and re-settled for thousands of years, much like Europe, the Middle East and most of Asia. It's called immigration. It's happenin

What this highlights for me was the loneliness of the homestead-era West, and the many attempts by people to connect with each other across the empty acres. It is an under-appreciated fact in America, and generally obscured by the Marlboro

I highly recommend Andrew Huberman's podcast and especially its sleep episodes for anyone interested in understanding sleep and turning the knobs to improve it: https://www.google.com/search?q=andrew+huberman+sleep+podc

Maybe worth pointing out that fusion has been a long-term project of Sam's. Back when PG asked him to lead YC, the other thing he was considering was working on fusion. He's been following the sector for a long time.

Based on the blog post, and without knowledge of the underlying foam that they were trying to replicate, I would say that a crucial distinction here is that the first team was asked to create something new, which meant that many different i

I don't believe every one understands that, and while I recognize the attempt at humor, it was not effective for me. It would have been better if the author had chosen the mot juste.

"Michael Seibel is a professional hater. I've never been denied so consistently by such a charming, kind, and basically snuggly person." Investors are both skeptics and speculators. And they can't be a good speculator wi

I want to put in a plug for Cedric. He is consistently one of the smartest writers about tech online. His writings about naturalistic decision making have changed the way I think about a lot of things in business. https://commonc

This is a shallow and poorly written article that doesn't begin to address the issues confronting us. We are being replatformed as a society. Tech companies are addicting us to new ways of connecting. Those same media are sometimes nec

Docs are like travel guides. When the underlying reality changes, they need to be rewritten. But most organizations barely make the effort for one good guide, let alone a guide that is rewritten as the code changes. So what happens is, they

This is a great piece, the deep reporting of the old New Yorker. Some highlights: > A reporter from Absolute Return, a trade publication for the hedge-fund industry, asked Grant, “How do Wall Street skills usually translate in prison?” H

I was gonna say the same thing. It's a gilded ghetto. He's a lot richer but a lot less people know or care what he says. Rogan's going the same way. And I have to wonder whether that's really what guys like that, who bui

The hiring process is fundamentally broken, but not always in the ways that job-seekers think. It's hard to establish during the interview process that someone will be able to do the job you need them to do. Hiring them is a huge risk,

It's clear from Bloom's introduction, written in 2000 I think, that he believed US society and particularly universities like Yale, his employer, had entered a dark time in which ideologies were blinding readers to the humanity of

I highly recommend Charles Ferguson's "Computer Wars" on this topic, as well as his other book (about startups and the early Web), "High Stakes, No Prisoners."
