On needing rivals

At one point you tip your hat: you’re very good. I take joy after realising: you cannot just be alone at the top. You need rivals. I’m thankful to these guys, to make me a better player.

On content ownership

One day, Twitter and other publishing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Medium will indeed die, like so many sites before them. And every time this happens, we lose most of the content we created and with it a fair amount of our collective cultural history.

Brendon McCullum on his dismissal in 2015 Cricket World Cup final

All my life I had dreamt of that moment. As a child, I played it out against mates day after day, and as a man, I practised for it with an almost eerie certainty that one day it would come.

.

You know why I laughed back in the dressing room? Because I forgot the only single thing that really matters. I forgot to watch the ball.

.

Yes, it was a bad shot, but it wasn’t a bad idea, no way. If I had watched the ball and hit it well, the tone would have been set. But I didn’t. After a lifetime of dreaming about exactly that moment, I messed it up. So I laughed – otherwise I’d still be crying.

Superhuman is Spying on You

Superhuman is a surveillance tool that intentionally violates privacy by notifying senders every time their emails have been viewed by recipients. I would never trust this company. Only way to make sure your own privacy isn’t violated is to disable images in your own email app.

Superhuman never asks the person on the other end if they are OK with sending a read receipt (complete with timestamp and geolocation).
