here are five links worth reading/viewing ...

1. Technological Unemployment: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
<https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=121d63302d&e=b690a1d3a3>
by Scott Alexander
"Technological unemployment is a hard topic because there are such good
arguments on both sides."  Alexander spends the time to dive into each part
of the issue and ultimate concludes that as technology spreads, "we’ll just
get people being pushed into worse and worse jobs, in a way that does not
inspire widespread sympathy or collective action."  Yes, it is a downer ...
but super well-research article.

2. Decades-Old Graph Problem Yields to Amateur Mathematician
<https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=1dad1e52f1&e=b690a1d3a3>
by Evelyn Lamb
Too often we ridicule the non-experts. Or we pity them. But many of the
world's biggest problems could benefit from people looking at them with
fresh eyes.  This is true in math, science, business, law, policy, and
more.  Aubrey de Grey, a biologist (and Five Links reader), created an
elegant solution to a math problem that has been stumping mathematicians
for decades.

3. Keep Your Identity Small
<https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=f883107e0a&e=b690a1d3a3>
by Paul Graham
This oldie (from 2009) is one of the best pieces on understanding social
science and social interactions.  It is also incredibly good advice.

4. Podcast: Auren on Software Engineering Daily
<https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=6d6e4c2dae&e=b690a1d3a3>
with Jeff Meyerson
Thoughts on data, machine learning, company culture, hiring practices, and
more (packed in under 53 minutes). Jeff Meyerson (also a Five Links reader)
did a great job with the interview.

5. book: Microtrends Squared
<https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=036755c291&e=b690a1d3a3>
by Mark Penn
I loved the original Microtrends book (from 2007) and sequel is just as
good. Mark Penn is the former pollster to Bill and Hilary Clinton, fmr CEO
at Burson-Marsteller, and fmr exec at Microsoft (and Five Links reader).
Microtrends Squared is 50 easy-to-consume micro trends from Love and
Relationships, Health and Diet, Technology, Lifestyle, Politics, and Work
and Business.

6. bonus for fun: Packets are a conspiracy of dentists and dry cleaners — I
despise them

by Auren Hoffman
A humorous piece to lighten your Spring.
