"Email is dead. Long live email"

A few years ago, I kept hearing about how email was dead and Slack and HipChat were the future.

Now email is the future, again: https://www.fastcodesign.com/90160460/google-thinks-the-futu...

and it seems like there's a new generation of ecosystem tools coming out to support email's new lease on life.

I still have a few hotmail and juno accounts -- think they'll be worth something someday now?

Ok, I doubt I'll ever take an hour to listen to this, but I really enjoyed the book. It was very interesting to see the little particularities of the legal system and the participants that had a big impact. I basically read it straight through in one shot as the host said he did as well. I found the writing to be florid at times (there was a seamless segue between an anecdote of Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon and Hulk Hogan's decision to sue against the distribution of the hidden camera sextape that made me actually laugh out loud) but I found the asides were unobtrusive enough that it didn't affect the reading.

Bruh, Russ Roberts makes the hour worth it even if the subject itself doesn't.

Check out any of the econtalk episodes with Nassim Taleb or the ones with Cesar Hidalgo or Pedro Domingos.
