I've found that this trick works really well for reading in general, as well. If I tell myself to just read a short chapter, I often end up reading 3.

There's an episode of The Dollop podcast that addresses the introduction of cars to the streets of America when horse and buggie still ruled the road [0]. It is highly entertaining and informative, and it touches upon why "jaywalk

I turned down an offer at a large agency in NYC after learning that they build what is basically malware for the browser. Toolbars for IE, weather widgets, etc. I thought the compensation and perks were good for a first job, and the work wa

If you don't mind me asking, if you already have a job you enjoy, what's driving you to the FAANG companies? I know there are a ton of valid answers to this question but I'm curious anyway!

This is interesting to me as I've been trying to read books that I couldn't get into in high school like "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451" and I had to force myself through both because the interest wasn't there

I'm struggling to grasp the relevance also. In NYC, you'll have Subway sandwich flyers and comedy club flyers thrown your way also, but I don't think those have anything to do with VC. Why do bikes rentals strike you as a &qu
