One way to tell houses furnished by interior designers from those furnished by their inhabitants is that designers tend to work in pairs.

Fascinating new research from Cory Clark and co.: People distrust politicised institutions, even when they share the institution’s political slant. This suggests that, rather than polarising people, politicisation costs institutions trust across the board.

Most startups are paranoid that investors will share their decks with competitors, but Dan is so confident that he's publishing his on Twitter.

Sexual dimorphism of the human pelvis illustrated.
The balls represent the size of a newborn baby's head, which will pass through the female pelvis fairly easily, but will get stuck in the male pelvis

new ball experiment: the badly drawn ball, red pen variation
**Response to @paulg:**
If you want to get rich from startups, either as a founder or early employee, be really good at building stuff.
**Response to @paulg:**
In a typical software startup, the main thing that matters early on is programming. That's why the people getting rich from startups are mostly technical. If you're a lawyer or an MBA, you may get hired eventually, but you won't be in the first 20 employees.
**Response to @paulg:**
But here's something few people get: startups need different kinds of work early on than they do later. So your chances of getting rich from a startup vary enormously depending on the type of work you do.
The amount of equity you'll get in a startup decreases exponentially as your employee number increases. If you want to get rich from a startup, you have to be there early, either as a founder or an early employee.

This may seem a surprise ending, but the truth is, I miss the old days. I used to love reading the Sunday New York Times. But maybe I'm mistaken to be nostalgic about that era. Maybe there was a lot of dishonesty then too, but we just never knew.
