this is why i wish the tech/sci fi film canon were wider. im tired of references to Her and Bladerunner and The Social Network etc. in 2026 you should be watching: -Demonlover -Until the End of the World -Videodrome -World on a Wire -Solaris -The 10th Victim -Megalopolis -Stalker -Run, Lola, Run -Seconds -and so many more…
films set the ideas and narratives that kick-off passions and careers

free advice to lab employees: instead of blowing your post-IPO money on ineffective, flaccid, and wasteful philanthropic efforts, you should be moving back to your home states and mounting runs in local/state/national politics to enact the change you wish to see in the world

another week, another dip into the sleep-minning discourse. remember, aggregate sleep doesn’t matter, just aim for like 2-3 hours of rem deep sleep in aggregate and you’re fine today’s run today brought to you by @SeedOilScout (not a sponsor but a friend/purveyor of great hats)

it’s underappreciated how many early tech/internet companies were actually atoms businesses that later expanded into bits businesses….amazon became a cloud company, netflix became a streaming company, ebay became a payments company (tho later respun out paypal…), valve launched steam (eg went from selling cds to distributing other publishers), etc there are prob way more examples here
Amazon in early 1997 They sold $147.8 million worth of books that year

there are also obviously many many many subscription businesses now in consumer hardware. but that is the weak and lazy form of this.
