   I'll broadcast my opinions on your questions: 1) AAPL is arguably the most important company, full stop -- not just in tech. With the highest market cap in the USA, and a substantial share of mobile phones using both its hardware and s

   I've been waiting for the kick in the pants to finally add js error tracking. This looks great. At my previous company, I set up Errorception ( https://errorception.com/ ) and it was a good step, but I'm excited by

   I'm not sure that humans' productive output can be modeled so simply (hours working -> amount produced). It's a bold assumption that the primary value of lunch on campus is to increase "hours worked". I think tha

   If you like learning about cognitive biases (I certainly do!), may I recommend spending some time with some of the articles on lesswrong.com -- I find that for me, sometimes reading online distracts me from work, so I have all of Eliezer&#x

   I think the concept of "e-minimalism" is great. I think it is useful to recognize that "stuff" is a system, and as a user, the system of "stuff" requires some maintenance, is at risk of failure (by theft, loss

   MMORPGs also got that right. World of Warcraft still has 7.7M subscribers, for example, a solid order of magnitude more than Second Life.

    It seems there are some random elements that are set to fixed position, when they really shouldn't be. I imagine it will be fixed very shortly -- it would be odd if nobody at Google has noticed it yet.

    I wish the marketing text under "Want to be the best" wasn't obscured by / obscuring the product photo -- it's very off-putting, and I'm not even a design nut.

    We use this in our admin section. It's definitely a time saver and a sweet tool, although appearance and behavior customizations are a bit of a pain.

    Being concerned with the ownership of code should never prevent you from writing it. Nobody is watching, really. If someone cares enough about your stuff to try to claim it as theirs, that's a high quality problem. Write some more code -- j

    Also make sure to do the full round of antibiotics -- not being officially prescribed them by a doctor is no excuse for not using them correctly. Antibiotic resistance is terrifying, and assisting it does a huge disservice to the world.

    After almost dying in Thailand to an infected scrape, I recommend keeping a round of standard antibiotics accessible. I never expecting that the bumps near the scrape would progress to intense pain, waves of nausea, and blackness underneath
