This makes a lot of sense. Every day, at 4am, I would spring out of my bed and begin screaming as I jumped up and down on my parents bed to wake them up, sometimes literally opening their eyelids for them, kept screaming, made myself captain crunch and began watching my daily episode of dragon ball z while eating capn crunch and acting out kung fu moves on the furniture.

My sister on the other hand is pretty quiet and just sometimes procrastinates too much and doesn't clean her apartment.

People are worried that Jack will be too busy between Twitter and Square, but what they don't know is that the dude's been completely spaced out for the last 4 years, making the same motivational presentation about his Dad's pizza shop to anyone that will listen. Nobody at Twitter talks to Jack anymore, even the most Senior people.

I'm going to work at Zappos and do magic mushrooms all the time, refuse to wear shoes or change out of a wardrobe solely comprised of yak fur, and develop myself into the most central node on the org chart by generally being the chillest, most non reductionist dude in the organization

I read an article by the Economist a few years ago supporting a more general notion that the legal system is subject to a natural increase in the quantity of superfluous fees that are tacked on like pork due to the fact that the legal system is run by lawyers, who naturally like policies and systems that help lawyers make money.

7,750 is a shockingly low number for a service like Netflix, but I guess it reflects the fact that most movies aren't really that good and you'd probably only be interested in watching a maximum of 10k titles over your lifetime, maybe 15,000 hours / 2 years of content
