FWIW, the old copy was from an actual print run of ~10,000 copies per print run. The new copy was made using print on demand copy where they print one copy at a time. With the difference in quality, I would try to find an old copy on eBay too!

I have a confession: The idea for Basecamp wasn’t eating me alive inside. It was just something we needed, that we knew how to build, and then other people asked if they could use it too 🤷‍♂️
If you want to start a company because it sounds like a nifty way to make money, you are wasting your time. Start a company because you have this idea that is just eating you alive inside and you have to get it out into the world for the pure satisfaction of making it happen.

Given that the main function of universities these days is filtering and signaling, the best move is to get admitted to Stanford and then drop out.

Just a reminder that ten years ago Chrome had zero percent market share, and as of today it defeated Internet Explorer .. permanently. The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The second best time is today.

The majority of Tesla’s surprisingly high profits in Q3 came not from selling cars but selling regulatory indulgences to other car makers. A fact it conveniently forgot to highlight. apple.news/APuJssuT7Q_GqKB2K…

If you bought $1000 worth of XRP in January it would now be worth $79. If you bought $1000 worth of Bud Light in January, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for a nickel deposit, you would have $79.

I need everyone in tech and especially in tech media to stop misleadingly and credulously calling machine learning technology "AI". Nobody has invented AI. Nothing on the market is AI. Not Siri, not Watson, not anything. It does not exist.

You made your point but you lost the customer. You said the last word but it cost you your health. You won the argument but you lost the friendship. The price of winning stupid games.

My takeaway on the Fred/Donald Trump tax fraud/ real eatate deep dive- Do you realize how BAD you have to be at business to inherit that portfolio in NEW YORK CITY many years ago and NOT be worth $10bn today? It is almost impossible

Are you about to open-source a private repository? Do you want to squash all history into a single commit before making the code public? This one-liner takes care of it: git reset $(git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -m 'Initial commit')

Do you know the JVM's definition of a server class machine? It's >=2 CPUs and >=2GB RAM. You can override with -XX:{Always|Never}ActAsServerClassMachine #optimizingjava #java #jvm

Straight chills. This is one of the greatest ads I’ve seen.
FIRST LOOK: New Nike “Just Do It” ad, voiced by @Kaepernick7, scheduled to air, as of now, on tomorrow night’s Falcons-Eagles season opener.
