In perhaps the least surprising news, ever, it turns out that when my Evri parcel was marked "delivered" on Thursday evening...

That meant "can't find it on the van just mark it as delivered anyway."

The challenge with anything this nuanced is that some people lack the experience to understand it. For example, many people perceive product management’s role as running a functional feature factory, and nothing more.

Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.

It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.
