SatefyWing was created by digital nomads, a fully distributed team whose mission is to help other remote workers stay safe while traveling the world. They took a few minutes of their time to help us understand how they work as a remote team.
The thrill of exploring a new place on your own doesn’t negate the fact that it will be hard sometimes.
If someone is passionate about what they do, we see it as more legitimate to exploit them, according to new research from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.
This is a system I only somewhat tongue in cheek refer to as “The Fully General System For Learning To Do Hard Things”. It’s a useful conceptual framework for how to get better at things that you currently find difficult.
New legislation seeks to clearly define workplace bullying — and offer employees a chance to fight back.
In a world where people exploit freelancers to ghostwrite a 1000-word article for as little as $5, making a living from writing isn’t easy. And Medium might be onto building the first ever platform where writers can finally blog and get paid by doing what they love.
One thing that happened was that airlines discovered that boarding by row in reverse numerical order, while intuitive, is one of the slowest possible ways to board an airplane, because people bunch up trying to use the same bins and squeeze into the same rows at once.

Jason Acuna also known as Wee Man sold his Malibu house last year and decided to consolidate and move everything into a home on wheels.
Captive wild animal encounters are hugely popular, thanks partly to social media. But our investigation shows many creatures lead dismal lives.
Anyone who’s ever squeezed their bodies into an airplane seat owns at least a few crazy air travel stories, good and bad. So we asked some of our favorite vagabonds and wanderers to tell us their best and worst airline experiences.
Urban dwellers are particularly at risk from the impacts of air pollution and other hazards on mental health.
How can we work better and smarter in the decades to come—and what’s the moral imperative driving our desire to change? How can we build a more inclusive world, in which everyone has an opportunity to shine? Join us as we explore these questions.
Anytime I hear digital nomad “success” stories it’s always a single person traveling and working without a care in the world. I’d like to hear from any married couples that have made the digital nomad life work, on anybody willing to give pointers in that regard.
You can become fluent in a language in a few years of work, I see it all the time. This paper further proves that even starting much later in life, it’s still possible (if not as common) to reach incredibly high levels of mastery.
