To add to this, Snap's S1 stated that Spiegel was receiving millions in annual compensation.

Seems like a cool idea! The article mentioned the drones were flying in hard-to-reach areas. These trees will be safe against harvesters.

Those seem to back up this quote by the doctor from the article: "What’s going on in the patient’s [mind] is that the rituals of medicine... activates specific quantifiable and relevant brain regions that release these neurotransmitters. And they modulate symptoms."

For minor ailments for which there are no real cure (and are probably entirely psychological) building a new habit covers up the old one and subsequently cures the patient's pain.

People are often scared of testing their business ideas. Having this awesome idea of something that "might" work is a lot more pleasant than learning if it actually does. Most ideas fail right out of the gate - even the ideas of people who've had previous success. When I, or one my friends is excited enough to work on an idea, then the actual execution of the test is the easy part.

It would be interested to see how startups like SkySafe (https://www.skysafe.io/ - backed by a16z) respond to these kinds of incidents. I could see users of these startups wanting to create "no-fly" zones to protect assets of theirs such as powerlines.

I think as drones grow to become more common in our daily lives, the "Drone Security" industry will follow along.

This quote is telling. After listening to a lecture given by someone who is a master of their craft (even if I watch online), I can feel a sense of clarity whenever I'm doing the task they talk about. A master of his/her craft knows the craft so deeply that it's as easy as breathing. This is how climbing must be for Alex... though, sometimes everyone skips a breath. I guess his atypical Amygdala helps him get over that.

I think its a great differentiator for Apple. It'll help them sell products like the HomePod and other products in the privacy sensitive "smart home" space.

I don't know where this article's numbers are coming from, but 1 in 6 Brown undergrads have declared computer science majors this year.

As someone who does a lot of learning online, I can see the usefulness of this! It'd be a lot easier for me to use if the filters on the side of the screen if they matched my search queries more closely. Currently, searching for "react.js vs. angular.js" leads to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton being options in the "speaker"filter.

The "autocratic" management style seems to be the biggest cause of this issue. I'd be surprised if members of upper management didn't have a sense of what's going on.

It reminds me of the events leading NASA Challenger disaster. The engineers and lower management employees were totally ignored by upper management in that scenario.

Though, I should mention, I haven't read any books about the VW scandal yet.
