What if Encyclopaedia Britannica made a single-use e-reader meant to sit on your bookshelf? No apps or feeds - just an always-updated encyclopaedia. A dedicated object for curiosity, that turns looking things up into a quiet, physical ritual. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Just heard the Microsoft outage described as “like a snow day for adults”. Brilliant.

Whoever is handling Encyclopaedia Britannica's social media deserves a raise. Posts are consistently brilliant...

I'd love to visit the International Space Station but I'm claustrophobic - I need more space.

@mpawlo @MicMars @nntaleb Musk can’t protect his job just because his reputation thrives on controversy; the board’s decision depends on what it thinks is best for the business.

I am more of a slave to my library than my career, careers are often means to other ends, aka other ends need to be funded.

Did it hit you that a centibillionaire, Jensen Huang, is less free than a random plumber?

Guessing he will get a nice option on the way out and have a a few billion to cushion the fall.

Jensen's Inequality. He decided that averaging his time across multiple partners yielded a much higher output than staying committed to his one expected spouse.

My job is very enjoyable, mostly developing chemical process , my salary subsidizes, literature , travel, piano , concerts , the FU money freedom is just a silly story. I think he worked his ass off by the way.

[Ernest Boehm plays Kawai & Steinway Pianos 🎹 @ErnestBoehm]

I work for a business , most people do I am pretty happy. I talk to a few people who run businesses good when it’s good shit when it isn’t and never really a rest. I am sure that 99.999 of us don’t get to FU if your a business owner you will want employees aka slaves. I don’t want to start a business I just want to do engineering work. I also choose not to manage people. I walked on a job that was boring. Boring work is way more common than slavish work.
