One of my all time favorite pieces of (non-political) journalism. A beautifully told story about magic and one of it's greats.

I agree, and just as important as weight/reps and number is the speed of reps. Muscle growth comes from the amount of time the muscles are being utilized under weight. If someone cranks out 10 bench press reps quickly, that will have vastly different results than a 3110 lift. (3 seconds up, 1 second hold, 1 second down)

so is stealing a package off someones porch

I certainly don't deny that.

Personally, I'm still not going to perma-dye someone's car.

Interestingly, the list lower on the page that has companies from 1300 to 1399 is twice as long. Does anyone know if something significant happened in the world that leaves so many more companies from that century around?

A great book that touches on the subject is "Musicophilia" by the late Oliver Sacks. It goes deep into the neurology of conditions like acquired savant syndrome, though the core of the book is on music-related neurological anomlaies https://www.amazon.com/Musicophilia-Tales-Music-Revised-Expa...

I saw a movie about this once. It didn't end well

Yup, this is the correct way. If you want to bring an extinct big reptile to life again, choose wisely and assure that you can outrun them.

As a recent graduate, I know many people who used the "free work for a short term" method to get in the door for a new job. It isn't going to work at very large companies, but at startups and agencies, absolutely. "Illegal" sure, but a smart manager wouldn't turn down a chance to get a great look at a potential employee

A smart manager would know better than to open their company up to potential employment litigation.

Unpaid wages are one of the few offenses that can "pierce the corporate veil" and leave founders/owners personally liable.

On top of what @theoracle110 said, would other contracts in previous investment rounds (in which Jeremy did not speak up) have any power/relevance?
