- Zume Pizza introduces high-tech robot delivery trucks. I'm trying to be neutral about the reality of robots making pizza. It's as awesome as it is terrifying.

- The Untold Story of Napoleon Hill, the Greatest Self-Help Scammer of All Time. A crazy, long and fascinating read on the influential Napoleon Hill. "Americans are always amenable to the idea that thoughts produce real world results in some way or another. It’s practically enshrined in the US Constitution. The American Dream is a bit like Napoleon Hill himself—slippery, hard to define, and not aging well."
- There's a Massive Restaurant Industry Bubble, and It's About to Burst "What we're witnessing, as you see this rise of both the high and low end, is the hollowing out of the restaurant industry center -- the gentrification of food, carried to its logical conclusion. You had something that was interesting and a great value, it attracted everyone, and now all that's left until a rebirth is extravagance or thrift."
