I've been listening to EconTalk since 2007. It's one of the only podcasts that I never skip an episode, even if the topic or author doesn't initially seem too interesting.

Articles of Interest [0]. It's a podcast about clothes. I have little interest in fashion but for some reason this really clicked with me.

Stories like this are why I only ever buy items on Amazon that are sold by and shipped from Amazon. (In case it's relevant, this is in the UK.) I've been buying from Amazon for 20 years and have only ever had issues on the rare occasions when I strayed from this rule.

Big plus-one for the Systems Design Interview channel. I learned a lot from watching those videos (repeatedly) when I was preparing.

That website has a wonderful retro feel to it. Functional and clutter free.

If you want to extend your journey into stationery, I highly recommend the Erasable podcast [0]. It reignited my love for wood pencils.

Stationery is such a fun and relatively inexpensive rabbit hole to fall into (as long as you steer clear of the bonkers fountain pens).

If you want to go deeper, Eli Maor's "e: The Story of a Number" [0] is a great read that doesn't shy away from showing a few equations.

This is exactly why I am happy to be going back into the office. The physical separation really helps and my commute acts as a good transition period.

It's also not some new phenomenon. The chart goes back to 2012 and is basically flat over the last nine years.

I'd be interested to see the same chart (a) going back another 10-20 years and (b) showing older age groups.

There was one of these stuck onto at least one -80oC freezer in every lab I ever entered during my 20 years in biology.

It's incredible to consider how much time and money (funding) are backing these posters.

Not to nitpick, but it's Andrew Gelman. Murray Gell-Mann is the physicist.

I see the article was published in 2014. Does anyone know if much more has come out of this since then?

HyperNormalisation is amazing, as are all of Adam Curtis's other documentaries. I especially liked Bitter Lake as well. All highly recommended.

I have to ask, do people really use number pads that often that it's worth having the main key section off center?

Great site! I love playing with colour combinations, but I don't have the colour sense to be able to put together palettes myself.

On the data side, I have often (mis)used colorbrewer [0] to play with colours and see what might work well in visualizations.
