The most important insights I have to offer is this: Ask for help. Offer it as well, but you _must_ ask for it. Do you want to be friends with invincible people who never need your assistance? Probably not if you are anything like me. Givin

I am reminded of Pratchett and co's ideas on narrativium, which I apparently imbibed and internalized early enough that it has made me one of these life-writers. "We are not Homo sapiens, Wise Man. We are the third chimpanzee. Wha

I love that Matthias is getting some love on Hacker News. His home page is one of those amazing corners of the internet I really enjoy revisiting. And as a fun way to pass time I also like his project http://chartgame.com/

Same goes for many of the NYC offices. Our space near Empire State seems to have a lot of consulting businesses that would otherwise be renting out something more complicated (need their own receptionist, water bills, internet bills, blah b

If you stay within the Apple ecosystem like they really want you to, then you don't need that because your thunderbolt display has an ethernet adapter as well as some extra usb ports. The Apple monitor is their replacement for the dock

I actually just read through the last dozen or so articles about the F-35 on breadkingdefense, they don't sound like fans of the F-35 so much as they just are enthusiastic in general.

One of the things I always feel when I read something like this is that I am running out of time. I'm 29, so this is a comparison that's easy to make. And because I feel like maybe you guys will have the same reaction I wanted to

Shame this isn't getting any traction here. It's pretty interesting and insightful. This is the kind of thing I read and think about PG's "Live in the future" admonition, start to think about a world in which the tr

The Baroque Cycle is an undertaking, since my first read of it I have moved on to the audio books, subway listening being easier than subway reading. Cryptonomicon I am at about 15 reads (including audio book listens a few more), and maybe

Here is a good article on non-medical exemption rates http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/02/vaccine-exemp... TLDR: Oregon, Michigan, Idaho and Vermont are the worst offenders with over 5% of their k

This seems cool. Kind of like a 1-many snapchat. So far a lot of the content shared here in NYC seems to be pictures of women though :/

Given the choice between a lecture in which I am more engaged, learn more (however slightly more), and am fundamentally just enjoying myself more or the alternative: give me the fun lecture every time, if only because I will keep coming bac

The idea that: "By reading, you learn through others’ experiences, generally a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men." Is so utterly important when lives

It's interesting to hear that "A" means "competent" in the USA. I'm assuming that you aren't just making an off the cuff statement of course, and if you aren't I'd like to share some Australian context. Most people get a "C" or passing grad

I help run a leadership conference where there is a significant portion of the time devoted to small group reflection. I find personal reflection greatly rewarding and practice it weekly now, this has made me consider a daily practice. Ther
