Super excited to see Watsi on the list of suggested donations. I became a monthly contributor a year and change ago, and every time I get a raise, I raise my contribution. I love the work they do, and the way they'll select the patient

I think Snapchat will own media curation for wearables/AR displays in a few years. They can be the Comcast of your face– you'll be able to flip through a number of channels, from "X NAME OF HOLIDAY" to "THING HAPPEN

I think you're at least partially right. I don't think having lots of people is a liability if there is a society that can make effective use of them. I think startups are one useful vehicle for that.

I have a copy of a book called the Death of Cancer. It is written by one of the best oncologists in history. I think his book would strongly suggest the contrary -- that ample funding, paired with organizational & regulatory improvement

I started the year with knee injuries that made basic activity, let alone sports, prohibitively painful. After months of PT and exercise, they're better now. I am pretty young, so this problem was very unexpected. The lesson is that an
