It's not illegal to be a monopoly. What's illegal is taking advantage of your monopoly position. Microsoft was a monopoly? That was fine. Microsoft forced people towards Internet Explorer? Trouble.

If someone can't run their own mail system, what do you recommend? Are there better options?

I like the psytrance you created. Saved for later.

Agreed. Though they hold their value/worth extremely well, which means you should be able to work with older, used models for quite some time.

Love the easy way people can play with it, but it'd really help convey the concept if you showed an example calendar all filled out!

ADHD makes normal life/jobs/college harder, which leaves entrepreneurship as a viable option. It might be less chosen and more that you don't fit as well into regular societal work expectations. That was my case. Worked ou

I'm sure there are counter-examples, and this is totally gut feeling, but it never seems like things that start with Q work out! Never invest in Q.

Parenting an ADHD kiddo is hard enough, for sure. But I read that sentence with emphasis on the word, "different" rather than "exercise" -- so they would be saying that there's such variety in exercise, it's ha

Yes, it seems pretty bad that by default they were accessing user data everywhere. Gross.

Props to Airbnb for treating everyone well. This sentence is interesting: "While we know Airbnb’s business will fully recover..." That might just not be knowable given that travel/hotels/etc might be changed forever.

Interesting point. Later in the article, Google Hire is mentioned. The article was written in February (Medium redacts the year) and in Sept Google Hire was sunsetted.

Do we know of any viruses that we don't develop immunity to? (I don't know either way). I'm guessing that if we've never encountered a virus like that, then the occasional person we've heard that "got it again

In addition to job title, consider also company size/phase. Small companies benefit from and appreciate generalists more.

Love the idea! Happy to chat sometime. We're approaching this from the other side - a free hiring platform to help small (but growing) companies find people based on more than just resumes. We're at http://www.happym

I was bullied in school, and jiu jitsu feels like it's re-wiring my brain and erasing much of the damage (fear of conflict, especially with males).

Most of the things you listed are evolutionary improvements rather than revolutionary improvements. None of them are radical bold new concepts.

This study shows that they are correlated, but not necessarily causation. It could EASILY be that people feeling worse use Facebook more.

I think there's something to that. You're zipping through just listening for the highlights. Similar to how you can listen to a full podcast, or often just watch highlight clips on Youtube and feel like you "mostly" en

I went through the same thing. Took me ~20 years to find success. Biggest factor (hindsight is 20/20) was deciding to only consider businesses that had both competition and a business model.
