I am curious how the leanest of "cutting-edge" startups will adapt to these new employee expectations. In the short-term, designing a company as "remote first" is a huge boon, but I could foresee a bounce-back to close c

To start, malls tend to be built on highways removed from a municipality's center. Many of the people in this area will need certain amenities (for example, schools) and will have commutes. The entire surrounding area would have to be

Yeah, I'm a firm believer in moderation and not allowing perfection to get in the way of progress. So many decisions can be seen as immoral once examined under heavy scrutiny and choosing to be "vegetarian" instead of just &q

My wife is pescatarian, which has really lowered my consumption of meat. There is such a weird contrast between meat marketing and the actual use. With my reduced consumption, I am still sometimes pulled in by marketing: the masterfully gri

Not only is it tougher to book an act and fill a venue outside of a town whose economy is fueled by 20-somethings, but I think there is also a NIMBY factor, mostly justified by noise complaints. If there are any residential neighbors next t

I'll do you one better: a curated retailer that only carried merchandise with a 10+ year manufacturer's warranty. And they automatically register/store all proof of purchase information in an online portal. If that isn't

That was an awesome video. I can't wait for someone to inevitably start a The Joy of pAInting twitch feed, complete with chill commentary and occasionally ruining the canvas with a daring addition to the picture.

It is an awful side-effect of products getting bazaar-ified, where technology reduces friction in entering the marketplace and new "stalls" appear en masse. Human curation is a clear remedy - I can only listen to so much music or

It is staggering how quickly the discourse in tech circles went from "What are we going to do with all of these humans when automation renders their jobs obsolete!??" to "Oh gee wiz! There is a shortage of lifeguards!"

Giving artists control of that visual element has to be an intentional way to make the music "stickier". Physical albums had artwork and literature to help a listener get to know an artist. Showing lyrics, music videos, visuals, a

I just think it's a cyclical response to life becoming increasingly casual. In my public high school (~2005), we started doing "Formal Fridays" where we would dress up in suits. It was just a dumb, ironic fad that spanned mul

I know someone who went to Unity after being laid-off from 20th Century due to the Disney acquisition. True talent is being tossed around by the whims of executives and the economic climate.

I have been thinking the same thing. I'm just returning to a job that I like after a 3-month parental leave of absence. A lot of co-workers have left our niche boutique consultancy with a decent work-life balance to join... other niche
