List worth reading (2019)

  • We previously mentioned this really interesting list.
  • The 2019 version is out and is equally awesome. 52 gems.
  • Highlights:
  • Spotify pays by the song. Two three minute songs are twice as profitable as one six minute song. So songs are getting shorter.
  • Nigeria spends more on petrol subsidies than on health, or education, or defence.
  • The goal of walking 10,000 steps per day may have originated when a Japanese pedometer manufacturer noticed that the 万 symbol (which means 10,000) looks a little like someone walking. The actual health merits of that number ‘have never been validated by research.’
  • Asking ‘What questions to do you have for me?’ can be dramatically more effective than ‘Any questions?’ at the end of a talk. 
  • All references and related articles found in the link. h/t Fluxx Studio Notes.
