Jobs was the quirk; Cook is the predictability: John Gruber's great take on where Apple goes from here.

This is a popular PG essay making the rounds, defining and contrasting a “founder” way of operating a larger business to the delegated-management model that conventional wisdom thinks is best.

You've seen a reversible lane where digital signs indicate which way the lane is going. Or a movable barrier, like on the Golden Gate Bridge, to physically give an extra lane to one direction of travel.

Mark Zuckerberg's internal email on how he thought about Facebook Messenger's monetization in 2014. Almost none of this happened 10 years later, but it's still a fascinating read into his clarity of thought.

United Airlines inherits a 1968 flight from Honolulu that makes 5 stops in Micronesia before arriving in Guam. And one of the stops is a military base! The “island hopper” is such a weird quirk of modern aviation.

A story straight out of Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. The WSJ's go-ahead is their reporter's eye, watching with binoculars for Gershkovich to step off the plane. Meanwhile, Bloomberg goes early, publishing before the Americans clear Russian airspace— and then bragging about it.

My coworker shared with me this clever Chrome extension. Take my data! Whatever. I'll just be in the corner playing with my collection of buttons.

“Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought?”
