Well, we have the technology. It's only a matter of time until someone publishes such a book.

Fascinating character. I ended up reading the whole Wikipedia article [1] because of your comment. Sounds like he was very skilled and continuously getting better -- which is of course impressive. At the same time, his overall life story

Yeah, I came here for the obligatory Doppler shift joke. I don't see one, so I'll give it a try: Maybe they're called Blue Zones because they're moving towards us so quickly that we can see all their wrinkles more clearl

I know this'll sound daft... Can you share some of this data? I know there's related studies, like the famous "pick up your kids from daycare on time" study -- and of course plenty of examples about incentive structure

Fascinating article. It is interesting to see how much room there (still) is for applying basic, obvious, common-sense approaches. And of course the best part is seeing the incredible impact he's had on literally thousands of lives as

Initially I was in a similar boat, but recently I stumbled on a way to be more aware and positive about the change. I lost 55 pounds and still felt like a chonker. At the time, I only had about 10 pounds to go to hit the "ideal weight&

Hmm. I think you might be getting at two different questions. One: How do you get better at systems design? Build stuff -- lots of stuff. If you're interested in designing particular kinds of systems (say, planet-scale web services...)

You are right. My mistake; I don't use that app, and I'd totally forgotten about it.

Stripe shares do trade on secondary markets. If you sniff around on the big ones, I bet you could pick some up.

Strong agree. It feels like a different lifetime to think back to 2018 and 2019; back then, everyone in town was hyper-fixated on a whole raft of companies that kept teasing their IPOs. I did some very quick and lazy Googling [1][2], and ev

I suppose you're technically correct (the best kind of correct ;) but I am not so sure that the brand-recognition metric is the best one to apply to Stripe. PayPal and Square both have a strong B2C presence. PayPal has B2C offerings fo

Took me a minute to figure out that "standard" meant "manual" here. Interesting usage. I tried to research the actual % out of curiosity, and I think your anecdotal guess was pretty accurate. This article [1] claims that

It's almost as if every human being is complex, multifaceted, and always growing. Perhaps every one of us who's interviewing and writing perf reviews would benefit from questioning a system that tries to reduce human beings to a

Oh, don't worry. You said it very clearly. ;)

TL;DR: Good article. Worth digging through the MBA-speak to get to the value. As someone who has led a decent number of initiatives (and usually done at least a pretty decent job), I can confirm: The article makes good points and strongly s

With a sufficiently robust RCT, I'd think that indicates an issue with the observation in the observational study -- i.e., there are some confounding factors in the real world -- rather than any sort of issue with whatever effect the
