The tone is of course hyperbolic as it must be these days, but I do agree that Sesame Street used to have a very interesting adult/child dynamic, which may be gone (haven't watched the show in years). I always loved the interactio

Jordan's legend isn't due just to his prodigious basketball skills, but also his meticulous approach to personal branding over his career. I remember reading an article about 15 years ago where he talked about how he wore a suit t

Those take a considerable amount of strength to "lock in"... I always do them when my wife and I assemble furniture. We are quite slow because we apply wood glue to every joint.

In what way? Intel makes the best CPUs in the world and Adobe makes the best photo editing software in the world. How are they mediocre?

There's a very precious type of statement: the kind that is really hard to come up with for the first time, but it is obvious when you hear it for the first time. It makes you say, "oh, of course!" Example: https:/&#x2F

The test would need to be validated against a single SKU of phone, guaranteed to have the same camera module across all units. That's a big advantage of using the iPhone for hardware applications - the number of configs is very small.

I've always spent a lot of money, floor space, and electricity for high-wattage lamps and never regretted it. My living room has 4 IKEA lamps and a halogen torchiere.

Also, Tesla is the SI unit of magnetic flux density, so it's in the lexicon independent of Nikola Tesla himself.

I don't think it's OK to commercialize a dead person's name even with the permission of their estate. I wouldn't want my great grandchildren selling off the rights to my name to some organization I might have actively di

Also, with the proliferation of internet-connected devices, a lot of electronics can't be resold if stolen. If an iPhone is stolen you can remotely lock it and it won't be usable as long as it's still in the country, and many

Digital signage could be a big market. Right now, the TV screens in an airport or rail station are massively expensive to wire up and maintain because their video feeds are all computed centrally and distributed over wires. This could let L

There's gotta be a better word for "content farming" that doesn't make it sound like the productive labor of turning sunlight and water into food.

For indie bands, it's not so much Spotify's efforts as the bands' effort themselves that has gotten them on Spotify. If you're an indie band, you're going to take the effort to make sure that your music is showing u

It's not that the labels own Spotify -- it's that by issuing limited-term licensing deals, and owning all of the music, they'll be able to charge whatever they want for their music, leaving just a little bit on the table to k

There are two components to successful remote work: it has to work for the employee, and for the company. Obviously, how well it works depends not only on the particulars of the arrangement, but on the specific employee (introvert, extrover

All of these businesses are predicated upon an ever-increasing erosion of the middle class, increasing the number of customers and depressing wages for the workers by increasing the supply of people competing for the jobs.

That's what the vertically integrated delivery companies like Munchery do. Ultimately I think this model will win, since the food prep facility does not need to need to pay rent in a restaurant neighborhood, and the food can be designe

I do like the sugary white New England "regular" :) ... also, of course I'm only referring to the major chains.

Dunkin' has always been more famous for its coffee than its doughnuts. People in New England can argue over who has the best doughnut but nobody argues about who has the best coffee.

The car manufacturers actually lobbied for laws that prevent them from cutting out dealerships, to remove barriers to entrepreneurs investing in building brand-exclusive dealerships. The dealerships wouldn't have been built without the

Sure, some validation is important, and Kickstarter has their own incentive to ensure some baseline quality independent of regulation. Fraudsters should be prosecuted, but I hope that people aren't discouraged from launching Kickstarte
