How exactly would we deal with this issue then? I'm sure you've seen where people have accused you of editing Austin Allred's username on his account. Nobody else can do that.If I believe that lambda school or coinbase…
I feel like Godwin saying this, but the other side of that coin is that's the same process that Joachim Feist's biography describes Hitler as going through. You might be a Skywalker, but you don't know which one.
WeWork?
Do you not think there is a balance between unalloyed boosterism and lying (the YC way) and not giving you any good feedback? There are just way more people that I know and trust personally that I think could give…
What part is baseless? Sorry for the edit, I know that it's too critical for dang and HN readers, but I promise, having been on Reddit since the summer it came out, that it is as accurate as it can be from my…
Yeah but if you found out a quicker and more efficient way to stop people from reading HN, every business would want it because their workers would stop bloviating 4 hours a day for those who know what it is, and the…
I'll be real, it's interesting to post this stuff and see how many downvotes saying factually correct stuff will get you compared to comments. It's like people downvote when they have nothing to say. What's wrong with…
I absolutely agree with you that you can get insane mileage from improving the basic UIs of almost everything. It's sad how little attention we give to this stuff. I think that's what Jobs got and his imitators only…
Graham should know better, he talked about arc as the messiah for five years before getting beat to market by Clojure. Now they barely do proper language releases.
Graham does this often. Instead of directly saying what he wants to say, he beats around the bush. When Allred was getting criticized for shady business practices, Graham wrote haters and thanked him and Musk and a…
Was the Playstation not revolutionary?
Graham has a tendency to use hindsight to show that, yes, indeed he is contrarian and genius. The Ethereum people do it, too. They use the example of old massively successful tech to prove that Eth too can catch on, but…
Graham's obviously inspired by some Kuhnian paradigms here, but in Grahamiam fashion, he doesn't cite anything to back it up. What I find interesting where he calls most people conservative is how when I'm discussing…
You assume we're talking about different things with different results, but I understand your description of depression. I get different results from it than you because I handle it differently.
You can judge the whole book based upon your beliefs or you could read it and learn.
There might not be a reason for us existing at all, that doesn't mean we can't and shouldn't make reasons. This is all unsettled science. I've suffered depression for a decade. In my experience you learn to live with it…
"There is no reason to create silly rationales to justify it." I don't agree with that and I don't agree with how it is stated. It's an absolutist statement (poster is not an expert) and it is dismissive via "silly". I…
Depression affects everyone differently. But it does not mean a constant unending, it can come and go and those peaks and valleys lead to what I'm talking about.
Cancer has an evolutionary cause, that doesn't mean we associate it with good.
Resilience, endurance, learning to overcome adversity, learning to overcome yourself, learning to be self-aware, thinking "differently". I could think of dozens of other reasons. No?
Thank you. I fixed it, but that is the book.
Or, more likely, we don't know right now.
I didn't say it was a good reason.
I disagree. Depression appeared in humans for a reason. It is possible that one of the results of it, and the reason it sticks around is because there is value to it, even if it is exceedingly painful. Regardless,…
