Thanks for the post. I run The Observer Effect, would love any feedback or questions!

Interviewer here. Thanks for the post. It was a lot of fun to ask Marc about his productivity routine, how he spends time, how he makes decision and his "build" essay.

If you liked this, you might like my collection of business memos here. https://sriramk.com/memos

I remember this particular memo very well as I was at Microsoft at the time and it felt so unfair to see the reaction to what you expect any good CEO to do.

I just noticed who the OP is. Kind of cool to see Ray active on HN!

Absolutely do. Ex-MSFTer. This exactly fits with the kind of behavior you see from him internally.

New comment by sriramk in "Lost Posture: Why Indigenous Cultures Don't Have Back Pain"

sriramk — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:17:18 +0000

I can testify to this. I'm 6'6, turned 30 recently and developed chronic back pain which made walking/standing for over 15-20 minutes painful. I got frustrated and started going to the gym again and doing very basic deadlifts/leg presses/lunges a few times a week. It's been a couple of months and my back is about 70-80% better.

sriramk — Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:06:33 +0000

FWIW, I think Nathan will make a fascinating commencement speaker. He gets a lot of flak (rightfully) for Intellectual Ventures but he has a lot of success in multiple unrelated fields (cooking! archaeology! Microsoft).

You mean when Netflix streaming started - they've been around for a long time doing DVDs :).

New comment by sriramk in "Graph of Foursquare's Popularity After Removing Check-Ins"

sriramk — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:29:58 +0000

I was about to come say this. That sentence is provably false - Foursquare took great pains to launch Swarm first and launched the other app months later. They also did extensive communication at each step of the way.

That's not corporate speak - that's very precise language in different domains. For example, anyone in sales knows exactly what that means.

New comment by sriramk in "Uber banned from operating in Indian capital after rape accusation"

sriramk — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:38:40 +0000

I think Uber is being unfairly maligned here - too long for a comment, long piece at https://medium.com/@sriramk/in-defense-of-uber-in-india-f81c....

tldr: Uber just can't do the same checks it does in the US in other parts of the world which don't have records. And even though it did actually get the right certificate from the cops in this case, they should have thought of doing more.
