How are people talking about a second wave? You have over a thousand people still dying daily and over 20,000 cases/day. When did the first wave even end?

I don't see China and India's current problems escalating. The leadership on both sides is mature enough. I would, however, pay very close attention to Taiwan. That just might be the trigger.

I've come to the conclusion that if you want to be a successful indie SaaS developer nowadays, it's better to start off as a marketing/sales person than as a developer. So many small SaaS products suffer from the same problem

Has something like this ever happened in the past? Wouldn't a friendlier political regime just reverse the sanctions?

What's stopping another company - or Twitter itself - moving somewhere outside the US jurisdiction? I can't imagine it would be easy to regulate a service that isn't really location dependent.

1. Keep hard schedules. Work stops at 6pm no matter what (outside of emergencies). This sounds easy but it's tough to stick to. 2. Get some sunlight everyday. Even if its for 5 minutes. 3. Physically separate the work area from everyth

I really don't know if the old behaviors are going to come back. They say that it takes 2 months of doing something regularly before it becomes a habit. I've been in lockdown for over 2 months now. Cooking instead of ordering in,

This is a bit harsh. I'm sure a lot of readers must have got at least one takeaway from this article. It's helpful to remember that what might be obvious to one person might be a revelation to another - depending on their skill an

To be fair, people will go to great lengths to argue over things they think are wrong. People make alt accounts on Reddit and Twitter to do it. Heck, people will even navigate 4chan's awful UI and content, fill in captchas, just to tel

It's been absurd that I have people on my Twitter feed attributing the low death rate in India to India's "widespread daily use of HCQ". 31 years in India and I've never even heard of it!

Unfortunately this has been happening across the world. Some people have been convinced that every single institution of authority is corrupt, and that the handful of provocateurs they've voted into power are the only source of truth.

I would be worried about Alibaba as well given how the world has been building up momentum for a China-USA decoupling.

Their other big bet, Oyo, was already struggling with an ill-conceived expansion strategy and poor brand image in its local market.

I've found that you get far better results for many queries on YouTube now since it's tougher to mass spam YouTube with low quality content (compared to churning out a $5 article).

Maybe it's because I'm an amateur musician and hear some truly awful music, but by EDM standards, that's at least mediocre, not "bad".

I don't think it's just that. People are just buying more. I run a smallish hobby site and monetize it with Amazon affiliate links. I've had Black Friday-tier sales all of April and May. I suspect Amazon's numbers for th

I still don't understand why there is a single global (or rather, country-wide) app for food delivery. Unlike getting cabs, this is hardly something you do when you're away from your home city. If you had an app that only served,

Convincing bullshit is often a single truth stretched thin in a logically consistent manner. A bullshitter, for instance, might know nothing about Picasso or cubism or even art. But if he knows about continental Europe in the 1900s, he can

I'm generally an optimistic person but I can't see a way out of this mess barring a vaccine or proven cure. South Korea's recent spurt shows that a single super spreader event can undo all the gains of the lockdown. My countr

I also don't think that food delivery is something that needs to happen at a global scale. The market is local enough that you can have one player for every city or region that can grow organically, charge lower rates, and be beneficia
