Oh god please don't exaggerate with 'survive the coming storm' when it comes to Google. They make like 60 B in profit each year. Survival is so far away from the right word to describe their situation. It's just about profit maximization. How about we step outside the cult of capitalism for its own sake.

I'm down. I'm into things like product management, climbing, gaming (diablo 2, starcraft broodwar mainly), swimming, landscape photography, stoicism, applied philosophies in general

Hadriel | 2 years ago | on: Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket

tldr: "To return to information overload: this means treating your "to read" pile like a river (a stream that flows past you, and from which you pluck a few choice items, here and there) instead of a bucket (which demands that you empty it). After all, you presumably don't feel overwhelmed by all the unread books in the British Library – and not because there aren't an overwhelming number of them, but because it never occurred to you that it might be your job to get through them all."
