Very boring thoughts re: ycombinator.com/topcompanies/

1) It's refreshing to see a list of anything that isn't spread over 10 pages to optimize for CPMs.
2) It is a <table> which looks good. This is still surprising for me to see anywhere, even in 2018. Why is that?
You can tell a lot about me philosophically from the observation that I talk to people who wonder why we aren't on Mars yet and am much, much more interested in why we can't make tables look good.
And to be fair I lack even the vocabulary to describe why it looks good. Typography something something. Maybe kerning something something. It has the character of not assaulting the eyes like almost all tabular presentations of text and numbers. You get what I mean.
