What entrepreneurs in the US have made huge money from EdTech exits? I can’t think of any. So this critique doesn’t seem fair to me. (India is another story. If you are referring to ByJu, which was absolutely a…
Yes. Anacho-tyranny sounds very conspiratorial, but if you think from the police perspective, it is 1000X times easier to enforce fines and codes on the middle class and shopkeepers then it is to arrest criminals.…
This is indeed a problem. My mom had excellent cardiovascular health (she walked hours a day, ate a mostly vegetarian diet, etc). She got Alzheimers at 65 and is now 82. She's been completely gone as a person for the…
The backlash on these is entirely about the fact that they are unfashionable looking. The previous RayBan Metas were very popular and no one had a problem with them. Then Zuck wanted to put in an LCD display so he made…
Using a manual espresso machine is one of the hardest culinary preparations. It takes much more skill than one would assume!
These aren't stolen credit cards. This hack works by maxing out subscription limits of the Anthropic/OpenAI plans, so you never pay additional API fees. It's fraud but not theft.
Business books are 99% slop.
Mamdani is going to destroy the entire pre-1974 multifamily housing stock of the 5 boroughs. It will happen really quickly (values already down 40%, 11% of owners are behind on their mortgages).
Just don't step-up cost basis at death and you solve the problem. Elon's fine, we can wait until he dies and his heirs sell their shares.
100%. I don't understand how anyone defends the "death loophole" for capital gains. If you get rid of it you could actually get rid of estate taxes, which are a kludge to capture some of the capital gains that are given…
I left last month. $250 a year or something crazy like that. Obsidian has a free web clipper, I'm planning on using that since I was just bookmarking stuff.
Stocks for the Long Run makes the pretty compelling case that over longer holding periods stocks are less risky than bonds.
Yes, for indie developers and small startups. Large corps won't want their code /email/etc data being looked at by the Chinese government.
I think the Malm has the highest body count of any individual piece of furniture on the planet.
This is an amazing frame /reframe.
Gilfoyle? Is that you?
Defining your identity to other humans is incredibly useful. It's one of the essential tasks a human faces, and it makes all other tasks easier if done effectively.
The expectation that artists be "good people" always baffles me. Anyone who becomes a great artist has: 1)High levels of narcissism required to think the world needs to hear "your vision. 2) High levels of sociopathy to…
After a decade, "founder of X that I no longer work at" is considered a lame answer. People want to know what you are doing now, not your highest claim to status of your entire life.
I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of Stanford students are anxious or depressed. Isn't everybody, especially young kids who have spent the last decade going through the meat grinder of prepping for elite college admissions?
Fascinating. I wonder what drives the male aggression towards unicyclists. Is it a response to perceived competition (another male doing something attention-getting: must put them down to maintain my place in the male…
Remade was snappy but Fall went on forever.
Why does he sweat so much? I prefer my technoligarcs to have a matte finish, not a glossy finish.
Environmentalists are just against progress. A few desert species going extinct is not a big deal. It's an arid wasteland. When we eventually terraform it (with desalinated water from solar / fusion) those species are…
He needs uber. He needs google maps. Mostly it's not just about looking up information, it's about functionality.
