Loved this post, thanks! You mentioned the 3 constraints under which you (and many founders) thrive in: * Being the underdog * Hard challenges most people shy away from * Personal responsibility for outcomes Why are some people best under t

An effortless hack which I've gotten a lot of utility out of: put your phone behind your laptop. Out of sight, out of mind (and you can't feel it in your pocket either!)

> If you look at companies that have made a lot of people rich, like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, almost none of the employees who became rich had an instrumental role in the company’s success. Is this true? Dan seems to kind of skim

I really love this comment on finding a job at a startup by patio11: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11118880 So much so that the comment and surrounding discussion is much more valuable than the actual article it&#x27

$18,000 (or $36,000 as another comment suggests) seems incredibly low for "The largest ransom-ware infection in history"... how can this be worth it for the hackers?

Does anyone have an estimate of how much money WannaCry has made in total? Incentives matter, and if the ransomeware developers are actually getting paid a lot, they will continue exploiting these vulnerabilities. On the other hand, if it t

Interesting! For myself, I tend to already know what topics I care about, e.g Entrepreneurship, History of Computing, Stoicism, etc. These topics usually become quite apparent when I look at my goals in life. Can you explain more about how

This article touches on, in my opinion, the 2 great problems with non-fiction reading nowadays: * Deciding which book to read next out of the seemingly infinite decision space (which book is optimal?) * Reading books "well", such

I think the "survivorship bias" argument for reading is a bit overplayed. There's practically _zero_ of these mega-successful people (Gates, Buffett, Zuckerburg, Musk, etc.) who don't read. Astonishingly, I can't th

Yes! How to Read a Book is amazing. We spend so much of our lives reading, yet very rarely view it as a skill which we can develop, nor do we have goals for our reading other than to absorb as much information as possible. One of my favorit

Love this concept; read it once in Black Swan and it's kind of been stuck in my head ever since. Everyone has an antilibrary of books, so much so that I think the most common response I ever hear to "have you read X?" is &quo

I agree with your point on 'social' (although perhaps not 'web' ha), GoodReads seems to have the social end of reading pretty well fleshed out. What's not really solved right now, imo, is the organization of what yo

Very insightful article. I find it crazy how few people I know read. Successful people seem to unanimously agree with the article that books are "one of the best ways to engage with the world, become a better person and understand life
