I’ve played in the NY parks, Marcel is the best player of the bunch interviewed here. Sadly, after COVID most of the Bryant/Union Sq games seem to have disappeared. It’s mostly Washington Sq now. But there’s this one guy who comes and

Ignore the HN armchair hate, Meta is an all-in project by a founder-led FAANG company. You'll be able to see first-hand its early successes/failures. Not bad for your first internship. Glhf!

As much as I respect the founders/alumni that came from PayPal, do any of them still use it? Forced to use PayPal since 2004 as a small business owner, it was impossible to reach their customer support. They've also left me to fig

Chess was my FIRST introduction to "money hustle" via tournaments, playing pick-up park games, against my dad, etc. Owning the results and preparing for the next game taught me a life outlook: Win or lose, there's always a ne

Depends on your speed. If you want a slow but epic burn, Left Hand of Darkness. Something faster action novella, Lathe of Heaven. And the OG Harry Potter tale, Earthsea series. It won’t be time wasted with any of these.

Highly recommend "10 Years" which captures how HK society views the near future when the Mainland presses their influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Years_(2015_film) This is allegedly caused China to

As an 80's anime kid, I remember when I first saw Castles in the Sky and My Neighbor Toro Toro. It left lasting impressions on my world views of flying robots and bus-shaped giant cats. But Princess Mononoke straight out floored me. Th
