ABOVE THE FOLD #79

gm! And hi to our new readers - great to have you :) Each email = 5 interesting links I found this week + 1 thought to get your wheels turning.

The links

1. Christian Bale is committed to the craft

2. How "sleep sounds" are hacking spotify

3. Netflix: shows, movies ... and games

4. How to increase (effective) charity

5. "Your repetition is my opportunity"

This is so cool: SpinLaunch is developing a new way to launch rockets into space. The easiest way for me to describe the tech is a State of Liberty-sized "shot putter" (concept vid + test launch)

Hmmm of the week: i've been working outta this board game cafe and noticed something interesting: randos keep strolling in to use their printer. But! Turns out: the printers aren't owned by the cafe. Instead, it's a separate company that buys a bunch of printers --> puts them into high-traffic places. The sales pitch: "yo- if u let ppl print in your place, we'll let you keep $X per page." It's kinda like TouchTunes at bars- bars don't own the karaoke machine, and keep a slice of each song played. Which sparks next Q: in what other areas could a model like this work? hmmmm
