Hand-blown titanium crystal glassware for whisk(e)y and spirits. Produced in Europe by a glass factory that has been operating since the late 1700's. PG's mantra "do things that don't scale" has been a great inspira

I think it's important to note there are two types of "great work" 1) Where you have work expertise that is objectively higher than your peers or in the top percentile of your industry due to natural skills or experience or b

My favorite thing to do when looking at paintings is to stand next to it and look at it from a steep side angle. You can really see the texture and brushstrokes better, which as you said, brings a lot of life to the visual.

The best part of an empty bar to me isn’t just the lack of noise, but total freedom to drink slowly. Delays the effects of inebriation and there is more time to relax and contemplate all your choices in life.

As a Shopify user, I am conflicted about the Flexport acquisition. On one hand, it was really nice having a fulfillment partner directly related to the webstore. It gave a sense of harmony for future growth of services. From a stock perspec

There is an interesting study that has shown SUV drivers tend to be overconfident, likely due to the vehicle size and their driving position, and are less able to judge the speed and capabilities of their vehicles accurately. [1] https:&#x

Regarding safety related weight, there's a very interesting and thorough study from Berkley, I'd recommend reading, if you want to be nerdy. [1] https://are.berkeley.edu/~mlanderson/pdf/anderson_auffhamme

Correct - a "one-size fits all" solution would be foolish! But... This has been accounted for to not penalize EVs disproportionately :) Hopefully battery tech can improve at a steady pace that there are in the near-ish future nota

I am working on research towards the goal of introducing strict federal weight penalties for consumer vehicles. Cars are simply massively overbuilt for their average use case. Reducing weight of vehicles is a very achievable goal that will

Is 192/24 discernible to most people with mostly common listening equipment? No. Should we be complaining that an audio streaming service is offering the highest quality audio? No. Especially because they're not charging a premium

I always wonder how seriously significant and BASIC errors such as this happen... My experience suggests it's likely because there's too much power at senior levels and lack of ownership at lower ones. Like some senior person says

Of PG advice/tips/guidance, "Do things that don't scale" I think is still a great starting point and a piece of advice that is a bit less abstract. When you start from that, only the ideas that most people would nev

Anecdotally, I run a consumer goods business and UPS has set me up with a business account for volume discounts and tries to get me to use them for shipping. The irony is that I do use them for shipping, but get cheaper rates from a variety

Excellent. I wish that Hue and LIFX would also make a physical adjustment switch/knob for color temperature.

My takeaway from great meals that is restaurants are snow globes. You may not remember the food, but you'll always have the memory and all the events and experiences that led up to that time. Years later you can shake that mental snow

Ooooh, related one of my favorite topics. Part of the reason modern lots are so big and why parking covers so much area is simply because cars are too big! There is zero reason a person needs to own a 7 seat SUV to transport 3 people or fiv

I drive a 2017 Ford Fiesta hatchback that is 160" long, weighs about 2,600 pounds, and gets a minimum of 26, average 28, MPG in Los Angeles traffic on basic gas. I've moved with it, put a rack on the top, and drive friends around.

Airtable is like this and it's frankly insane. For various personal projects and nerd reasons, I would love to use the apps available for Airtable, but going from free to $20 is bonkers. I don't need the 20GB or 50,000 records and

It 100% is a toxic sector. Hawaii's education suffers dramatically because the work is all in tourism - this is firsthand knowledge from teachers I know over there.

Speaking as someone who works for a company called "BoardGameTables.com", we really like our obvious name. Nothing wrong with something broad. We sell more than board game tables, but everything is connected and it gets us a lot o
