How You Can Go from Prison and Skid Row to MIT - Daniel Dart's One In a Million Story

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/one-mans-wild-journey-from-prison-and-gangs-to-high-finance-140013426.html

Great work by Rick Newman.

During the last 10 years, Daniel Dart has assembled an elite network of contacts and supporters that completely transcend his troubled beginnings. He asks successful people to mentor him and makes sure to keep in touch. I reached out to some of those supporters.

Street cred has value, too. “He has an incredible adaptability,” says Johan Bjurman Bergman, who worked with Dart for several months on the Saudi project. “He can go to Skid Row and start a conversation with somebody who’s been homeless for 10 years, then he works his way into the rooms where you’ve met him.” Like seemingly everybody, Bergman met Dart at a conference, where he stood out among the business-casual crowd thanks to his signature beanie and tattoos.

How You Can Watch YouTube Videos without Ads

Never watch an annoying ad again!

You get your results, now hover on the link to one of the videos you're thinking of watching, and copy  the link. Paste that :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h3lByx59ns

Now, hack that to be 

https://www.youtube.com/embed/9h3lByx59ns

That's it! "watch?v=" becomes "/"

No more torture!

How about this for a cool one - did you want to listen to a YouTube video and not have to waste power on the screen? Now you can :

You go to Safari and put in youtube.com. Good. Now, the site comes up and, you then tap on the AA on the left of the address bar. That brings up a menu on which you can select "Request Desktop Website". That's it! You're now in business. Yes, it's harder to read stuff because it's your tiny screen and you've "asked for it," but, now, once you start playing the video and it pauses after you lock the screen. You just swipe and tap play to get it rolling again! Nice?

Elon Musk, by Walter Isaccson

For two years, Isaccson shadowed Musk - attending all of his meetings - even making sure to take the urinal next to him whenever Musk had to go.

When Musk was a kid, he had to attend Veldschul or Veldskul in South Africa where bullying was not forbidden. It was like the Spartans sending their boys out to survive in the woods. In his first camp, Musk lost 10 pounds. The next time, he figured that if he punched the bigger kid in the nose, at the start of the contact, that same kid, even if he got the food and gave Musk a sound thrashing, wouldn't trouble Musk again.

In school, Musk was politically incorrect to the point of calling another kid, who did have some sort of handicap (I don't remember what exactly) "stupid." The kid and his buddies later cornered Musk and gave his face and head such a beating that Musk was in the hospital a week. Upon returning home, he had to endure hours-long tirade from his Dad - "how could YOU be so stupid as to call THAT kid stupid. I'm not surprised you got your comeuppance!" Kimball, Musk's brother, only watching, felt the pain of this parental antipathy. Says Isaccson. And, to this day, Musk has issues with his vision arising from that violent incident.

A Fundamental Poker Principle

To win a big pot, your opponent has to have a strong hand - at least a strong starting hand 😊

Raise to 35c with big blind at 10c means he's not serious :) So I figure he'll fold like a gent. But..

Askida Ekmek : And You Thought Paying it Forward Was Invented Yesterday

How we got here:

Relentless self-improvement → Endlessly growing book list → Coders at Work → Peter Norvig → Teach Yourself Programming → "Practice" → Searching for titles with practice → Seth Godin's "The Practice - Shipping Creative Work" → Amazon.com → Barnes and Noble (because I couldn't find the Table of Contents on the Amaazon.com site) --> Askida Ekmek

https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20191125-turkeys-ancient-tradition-of-paying-it-forward

In Turkey, the seemingly modern idea of paying it forward goes back centuries. It’s called askıda ekmek and relates specifically to paying it forward with bread.

Lisa Morrow: Amidst the constant flurry of customers, I’ll sometimes see the owner give someone a loaf of bread without any money changing hands. At other times a customer will pay for two loaves of bread but only take one. Askıda ekmek, which means “bread on a hanger” or “suspended bread”, has its roots in Islam, the dominant religion in the country. It works like this: you go to a bakery and pay for two loaves of bread but only take one. On paying for the bread, you tell the person who takes the money that one of them is askıda ekmek. Your contribution is bagged and hung together with others so when people come in throughout the day and ask, “Askıda ekmek var mi?” (“Is there bread on the hook?”), they can take a loaf for free.
