Even if offices vanished entirely, that would only make room for new urban functions that would probably be more vital, further consolidating the city’s relevance.

Brilliant Hardware in the Valley of the Software Slump
A sign of great hardware and software is in forgetting about it, smoothly allowing it to integrate with your life — drawing fluency from it. Speed and reliability are often intuited hand-in-hand. Speed can be a good proxy for general engineering quality.

Release Date: 11th June 2020
Born and bred in London, Anjunabeats started life as a university project in the year 2000. Today, Anjunabeats is one of the world’s best-loved dance labels. Over 700 releases spanning two decades wear the iconic Anjuna ‘A’.
To celebrate, they’ve opened the vault for a handpicked group of artists from the label’s 20-year history. Each artist will sift through thousands of hours of music to create a definitive, mix of their all-time favourite Anjunabeats releases.
On 11 June, GRAMMY nominee Mat Zo delivers the second mix in the series.
"Anjunabeats is a label with a lot of history, and it's cool to be a part of that. I've seen the label evolve over the years from relatively humble beginnings, and it's amazing to still be a part of it 12 years later. With this mix, I wanted to show how broad the range of Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep is, and what drew me to the label in the first place.” - Mat Zo

How Racism Shapes My Habits
I notice the “you don't belong here” looks when I dress a certain way. You may read each of these encounters and think “this isn’t so bad” in isolation, but a lifetime of small injustices is a massive boulder to carry.
Presentation Rules
Failures in an organization larger than 1,000 people are attributable to failed communication. The question mark is underused, the exclamation point overused. Treat headings as the structure of your argument, not your document. So only show [numbers] after you are done presenting your main point.
For a Black Mathematician, What It’s Like to Be the ‘Only One’
Fewer than 1 percent of doctorates in math are awarded to African-Americans. Edray Goins, who earned one of them, found the upper reaches of the math world a challenging place.

If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

The Myth Of Blackness In Venture
It is for this same reason, that I struggle to support funds who’s primary thesis is that of diversity. Too often it serves as a vehicle for high net-worth LP’s — typically fund managers elsewhere — to point to their contribution as their action towards equality, with little structural change to their own fund. And make no mistake, that is what we are witnessing now. This country was built on the backs of Black people — and it has no future without the progression of Black people.
Call to Action
The remarks below started as a first draft and incorporate feedback from half-a-dozen colleagues, mentors, and friends who push my thinking, every day.
“An Unsent Letter” by Jenna Le
where apples fall and find no funeral.
#128: The Cool Zone
There’s a saying, “You aren’t stuck in traffic, you are traffic.” Similarly, the unrest occurring right now isn’t something that is happening to anyone, but a phenomenon that everyone is a part of, even if they haven’t left home or directly participated at all.
The Out-Of-Pocket Game Plan
This is going to take years to build, and I don’t want to rush it. Second, I’m a believer that if you make your plans public there’s a much greater chance someone will reach out to help you build it vs. someone who’s going to stop everything they’re doing to copy your idea.
To Run My Best Marathon at Age 44, I Had to Outrun My Past
Running is the simplest of sports: right foot, left foot, right foot. But the simplicity opens up complexity. I traveled to the Philippines to bury him. In his bedroom, I found a poem I'd written in the second grade about watching him run down the Queensboro Bridge. Perhaps his praise was an attempt to reverse the way his father had treated him. Still, what more can a child ask than that their parents have faith in them? Sometimes I think that everything in life would be easier if I just put my shoes away. But more often I think the opposite. With a stressful job, it's helpful to have just a little bit of time where you force yourself to go outside and breathe. And I've come to believe that discipline in one part of my life makes it easier to have discipline in another part of life.
