Amazon’s venture into health care makes me very suspicious, but on the other hand, our current system is so broken that any alternative looks interesting.

If you’re concerned about business productivity, ask yourself whether a ceaseless barrage of notifications that forces people to constantly subdivide their attention might be part of the problem.

I feel like the campus war protests are getting more media coverage than the actual war.

This is a Saxon box cutter.
