I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

Phone addiction got so bad that watching a movie feels productive

[James Clear @JamesClear]

One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.

If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.

The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution.

@joshm I’m seeing a lot of smart people outsource their thinking to something objectively dumber

We’re gonna look back on this period as the “we all got too drunk in college / started drinking for the first time” era of AI.

AI is going to upend how the economy works, what labor does, how we learn, etc. But a lot of us are going overboard & actually making our work worse.

The obvious way to buy back your time is to pay someone to do something for you. Pay the mechanic to change your oil or a dry cleaner to press your suit.

The less obvious way to buy back your time is to say no. Passing on a promotion might "buy" you more time with family. Declining the dinner invite might "pay" for the time you need to exercise. We buy back our time not only with the money we spend, but also with the opportunities we decline.

The more clearly you know how you want to spend your days, the easier it becomes to say no to the requests that steal your hours.

It only takes five minutes to break the cycle.

Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored.

It doesn't take much to feel good again.

History of Software Design, an upcoming interactive exhibit now has a lil website.

No one truly knows how software came to be. We don't either. But we will find out and bring a few important moments back to life.

What We Do in the Shadows was released 12 years ago.

Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement encouraged heavy improvisation, often shooting long takes and letting the cast overlap dialogue like a real documentary crew caught in chaos.

"If it could save a person’s life, would you find a way to shave ten seconds off the boot time?” he asked. Kenyon allowed that he probably could.

Jobs went to a whiteboard and showed that if there were five million people using the Mac, and it took ten seconds extra to turn it on every day, that added up to three hundred million or so hours per year that people would save, which was the equivalent of at least one hundred lifetimes saved per year.

'Larry was suitably impressed, and a few weeks later he came back and it booted up twenty-eight seconds faster,' Atkinson recalled. 'Steve had a way of motivating by looking at the bigger picture.'"
