Seems to me like this story itself is an inkblot test for HN
I'm not publishing a paper in the comments. This is HN. Regardless, you cherry picked one aspect of my comment, and it's very hard from my perspective to see that it was done in good faith. I'd like to be proven…
yet not even one whistleblower has stepped forward? Not one person has been able to detect something which would be so obviously detectable? Come on, man.
You would admit, then, that you're not the norm, and that your experience - while interesting, certainly - does not appear to extrapolate very well to others?
With most advertising mediums, you can only show correlation. But with many parts of digital, you can show certain pages of your website exclusively to those who have clicked on ads (ie. hide those pages from regular…
Agreed with the other commenter - your dosage recommendations are highly specific, but we don't know your context or what you're taking. I'm in Australia and 5g of dried mushrooms does not leave you pleasantly…

Thanks for your comment. To be clear, we're talking about a profit margin cap. Our bet is that in 2030, we'll be a massive business because of the volume we're driving, which will come from the customer satisfaction…
(We're not a software startup.) We're setting a fixed margin. 14% (exact number TBD) of all revenue will go into a profit account. And that will be the profit, it can be reinvested into the business only as capital…
Better said - the revenue model is the ultimate reflection of your culture. I'm working on a startup right now that has this understanding at the core. We are building a revenue model with a fixed margin of profit. In…
Oh, the delicious irony of this post. YOU used a mental model - 'the game of chess' - yet failed to see that it doesn't map to the real world. If you had paid more attention to mental models, you would have realised…
Been thinking about this a long time. Sinek does nail some things but not this. I'd rephrase it to 'start with the individual'. A huge chunk of internet businesses today sit down and look at a single individual and ask…
Washing clothes with publicly collected urine was done as recently as the 1800s in many parts of colonial pre-federation Australia.
Steel is made using fire, and to use flint, you must be aware of its existence, its fire-marking properties, and where to find it.
My opinion is exactly the reverse. This is not the future. This is a story about a company whose time is highly limited. I have a company - not a start-up, just a regular ol business- - that will do just under 7 figures…
It survives because around 15% of candidates, in my experience, say mind-blowingly dumb things that make it easy to say no. As an interviewer, this is one of my goals - to hunt for easy filters.. the social version of a…
What about Paquita Salas! That show is brilliant and has Spain coming out of every orifice. So much so that I don't even bother recommending it to English speakers because they won't get so many of the references
Yep - the key thing you're missing is that Yang is going to allow people to choose whether they want to keep their benefits or switch to UBI.

You're assuming that the people in your example actually _can_ walk a half a block.
I work for a company that is #2 and chasing hard against our #1 competitor. That competitor was bought in the last couple of years and we all thought this would be our chance to go #1 as their head office inevitably…
Hey, this is my field. It's not as easy as you've laid it out. A lot of SEO marketers try to get links into articles. This is part of what they do. Many of them are legit. Enough are not legit. This causes links to get…
Sure, fair enough. Sorry to make you have to contort so much to provide a correct-seeming response.
I understand your intention is positive, and I enjoyed the nuance of your post. As a member of the 'entire LGBTQ+ community', we're not monolithic, or even close to it. SO is the first mainstream website (at least in…
Thanks for the thought. I'm not concerned with the efficiency of their business - I'm concerned with the efficiency of _my_ company. WeWork has removed a big headache for us.
