I like Masters of Scale even though it's really overproduced with too many sound effects. The episodes could be longer with less breaks, but it's still an enjoyable listen.

Most retailers have in-store pickup these days. I find myself hardly ever buying from Amazon anyways (unless can't get at a store within 10mi radius) because I'm too impatient haha.

That's why I said in most instances, of course there are instances where people without influence have their lives destroyed by negative news coverage. Wouldn't it be great if there was a non-profit organization that operated like

That's a pretty reductionist view of wealth creation and capitalism. I hope the inherent irony of making that statement to an audience of people united by a common interest in technological progress, entrepreneurship, and startups (on

GitPod is a lifesaver on the go when you need to work on private repos. Couldn't recommend more highly.

I feel horrible for the people who had to scrape together the $700 for a Christmas present for their kids, who won't be getting their scooter (like the person in the article). For most middle class people, that's a lot of money. I
