   I never felt the impetus to switch back. A few years ago I used Chrome for performance, add-ons, and syncing, then I moved to OSX and use primarily Safari. When I tried firefox here the performance seemed poor so I didn't try it for lo

   There are plenty of problems that aren't solved, I'd be interested if you would like to point out some?

   Our kraamzorg experience is one of the reasons I will likely never return to the US from Holland. The amount of care that society here puts into practically solving problems, while maybe not sufficient for every societal ill, is incredible

   Now that’s the kind of thing I’m looking for! How’s the learning curve? Edit: too bad about the $199 price tag. Way out of my impulse purchase range.

    This was my introduction to Mike a few years ago, and he's been a really interesting guy to follow since then.

    I have a guilty pleasure of reading biographies of people who are moderately famous/wealthy/successful and are talking themselves up, as I think they reveal interesting things about the human condition and ambition. On that note I

    I wish I had found The E-Myth Revisited before I started my first business, and I'll re-read it more carefully before trying again. It really breaks down the difference between the roles needed: the technician doing the work, the visio

    Having many unqualified applicants is unrelated to how many good 50-75% candidates self-select against applying. It’s likely entirely different groups exhibiting the inverse effects of Dunning-Kruger.

    There's something about this that resonates with me, in the stark reality of the intersection / tension between art and commerce: “Finally, I got in touch with the lead designer at IKEA who had picked the photo more than 10 years

    That last point is key. You can’t always see how things could come together, but there may be a serendipitous connection there. In my (shorter) experience, when I’m looking for a role I can’t see ahead to predict or drive how things will pu

    Musk is trying to make money, and he says that he is trying to move humanity forward to secure our long term survival. This may very well be true. However, similar statements are often made by people committing scams in order to give inve
