The critical point every financial advisor guru moron won't tell you is:
"past performance is no guarantee of future returns"
if I was investing based on past performance, I can buy Bitcoin, why would I buy the S&P?

Anyone else jot down the weather when taking notes?
I usually do date/time/weather/location/project every time I start a new notebook page
It’s fun to go back and see where I was over the year

I miss the times when the only people in tech were 100% nerds and didn't care at all about money
Today, most people in tech are closer to bankers and politicians

Not many businesses can resist changing
Updating the "brand" to look relevant
Or monetizing their your loss leaders
HackerNews did neither
Takes leadership and courage to do this

Design is more universal than people think
Like this subway, which combines the disciplines of engineering, architecture and graphic design
Can't make this happen without them all working together
You see this in software too
Good software is made by multi-disciplinary teams

Ferrari designers somehow always manage to make a generation defining poster car.
Crazy how well balanced these look. Somehow both analog and digital. Futuristic, but also legacy Ferrari.
I think this one is just as iconic as the F40, Enzo & La Ferrari.

We don't think about this much, but IKEA kept the same front cover for 26 years
And it's such a powerful way to stamp their brands in our heads
