Best airport mental hack for last-minute types: Get lounge access beyond Priorty Pass Even though most domestric lounges are hit-or-miss, it's a way to trick myself into getting to the airport 30 to 45 minutes earlier than I would. T

Years ago I asked my teacher what percent of street merchants or high school kids would know how to write some of the more complicated, uncommon characters from the advanced textbooks. She replied street merchants maybe 50%, but high school

I saw "YOLK", as in, a weirdly drawn cracked egg with the yolk pouring out downward and to the left. Of course, after reading through I'm convinced enough of the mainstream conclusion.

Totally playing devil's advocate, does this loophole work in Twitter's defense? The WARN act requires large enough employers "provide at least 60 calendar days advance written notice of a plant closing and mass layoff affecti

Chess.com has the "personality bots" that supposedly play with the style of various well-known players, streamers, and GMs. But I remember watching Hikaru Nakamura stream once playing through each of these bots (and beating them f

Fair enough, but that implies there may come a day when mortgage rates are much higher and then housing for new buyers is not at all affordable. Homeowners that locked in 30-year fixed rates might not be too concerned at first. But eventua

I always wondered whether the 7-day cruises were stocked only once at the beginning, or restocked mid-way at ports. Does that mean they need to freeze lots of the seafood? Is the food less fresh by Day 6 and 7?

My undergrad was a super nerdy school grinding largely solo in the CS lab. Later I did an MBA program to take me completely out of my comfort zone. I gravitated to those who were chill, and perplexed anyone who tried to play the Status Gam

Maybe a dumb question from a non-medical guy: are medical images considered "stationary" from a stats viewpoint? That is, will medical images of diseases we diagnose in the next 20 years look a lot like the ones from the past 20 y

Oh yes, I was also there! But I remember many people came out of that event hearing very different things from PG (there were also small presentations from YC alums hiring). I remember PG saying NYC had clearly overtaken Boston as #2 startu

One point in defense of the airlines that people often forget. There are certain taxes and fees the airlines must pay when a passenger flies from A to B. However, the government of location B waives fees for connections flying from A to B

Interesting point on why increased correlation hurts traditional stock pickers and market timers. Does this make a case for quantitative hedge funds doing better? Quant funds are in a good position to put on a large basket of long and short
