One cannot convince someone that has a negative view of businesses as a whole of anything but that opinion.

Agree - In the earlier days, it may have been semi-passive; today's landscape it most definitely is not!

Agree - I use it as shorthand for software solving problems.

I personally use SaaS as shorthand for a business which mainly simplifies, eases, or improves business or personal problems or processes with software - and get paid for it.

I understand your sentiment which I believed has a negative tone to founders that are more business focused - but I'll flip it. Yes a company can be started along a founders personal passion... for this example, lets call it bikes [cou

No - but I've seen enough people begin that way.

I'm a founder at heart; I've loved creating - and have a software background. I really resonate with the paraphrased vibe of way, way more SaaS companies. I've been looking outside of SaaS to potentially harder science compan

These cycles are interesting to observe from afar: Financial bubble: People complain about not making enough. Three years later after S&P falls 40% and massive layoffs: Same groups will say "I'll take anything, so glad to have

Follow up question: I am looking at a vehicle that has a gas or PHEV option. The hybrid option is ~$9k more. I plan to own it for only 3 years to purchase a full EV, and I expect the $7,500 tax credit in the U.S. may not apply. So in effect

Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5 for me?

That is a clear explanation - thank you. And I probably misunderstood the exact Spacetime semantics of the situation. Thank you

It is late - but while watching an episode of spacetime+ the host stated an entangled pair could be millions of miles apart and one could immediately cause a change in the other. This would be faster than light

You needn't feel like a d*ck. Just realize that when people call you or text you it is on there time; however, replying does not need to be on their time - but on your own time. I have found if I forcefully and succinctly communicate t

I fully understand where you're coming from - there are others like you. I can fill every moment of my time usefully with learning, work, projects, hobbies, etc. I am high energy (not AD[H]D, etc] and excited about things constantly. I

Disagree - I am an ambivert who is great when someone is visually within my sight. Terrible if that person is out of visual range. When you're out of sight, I don't know if that person exists. I have so much work, ideas, hobbies,

I think it is more base than this. I believe it is that males with higher testosterone appear to focus on s3x more often than other groups; and they on the whole like girls.

I fully disagree with you. You get as many at-bats as you want. It depends on what you're willing to give up FOR those at-bats. Is it worth your extra time, spare time, finances, family time, TV time? That is for each to decide.

Never - creation should always be the goal.

You may have one long, extended duration - but you can try again part time, time a business taking less time or resources. You can try until you're 85. Keep going.

I disagree - I know many founders - and all of them were broke, broke, broke (and went broke to bootstrap). Yes, some subset of founders have parental backing - and that's fine. They're at a different wealth level trying to increa

As a followup - I've seen illegal immigrants in the U.S. create million dollar legal businesses without connections, unable to speak English, in fear of constant de-portation, and tons of hard work. [as singular examples] So I'm p

You have a 40+ hour workweek, until you put in enough intelligently focused 80 hour work weeks coupled with some dumb luck, to possibly arrive at anything resembling a 4 hour workweek. I'm really tired of seeing online 'equality&#

A version of this caused my grandfather and father to never touch the stuff - and acted like it was kryptonite when I grew up.

Mine came from feeling like junk even after 1 beer/wine/cocktail the next day. I experimented with thinking it was an allergy to grains, allergy to hops, wine quality - but I think it's just alcohol.

I've loved club soda - and dislike alcohol; however, never thought of adding bitters. I like this idea a lot.

A thought of theirs could be drawing a correlation to industries which unionized and became less nimble (eg: auto industry). Now was it unionization or a 'fat and happy industry' disregarding competition. Probably a little of both
