Apparently, you can steal a joke. Maybe. I stole this story from Om Malik.


Sleep Cycle knows when I fall asleep, why doesn’t my audiobook app? Is there podcast apps that do this already? Wouldn’t it be awesome to listen to a book, fall asleep and then, in the morning, find the book (or podcast) position marker (“playhead”) set to, say, three minutes before you fell asleep?

Sverige har följaktligen hamnat i den underliga situationen att den tillsynsmyndighet som ska sĂ€kerstĂ€lla en vĂ€l fungerande revision bidrar till att stĂ€rka Big 4:s oligopolstĂ€llning. Och det utan att tydligt ha kunnat visa positiva effekter av nya föreskrifter” (Jan Marton).

Uber Questions

However, if I bought individual stocks [ … ], I would be out: this S-1 is so devoid of meaningful information (despite its length) that it makes me wonder what, if anything, Uber is trying to hide.

“Mr. Winston Churchill Presents His Compliments to Mr. Winston Churchill”



Want to see a bad movie? Watch The Crimes of Grindelwalds. About a week ago I watched Fantastic beasts 1 with my ten-year-old daughter, and thought it was ok. (She LOVED IT!)
