Thanks for reminding me of /r/askhistorians. I had not registered it in my mind as a source for general consumption. But what the heck is r/anime_titties/ about :) ? The feed is interesting , but I can't make up my

On lesswrong, from memeory and in my very humble opinion, the ratio insights to (pompous?) lengthy sentences is way too low. But I will take a look again.

I wonder if there is a place on the internet with the format of HN and a not so dissimilar quality of comments but focused on World events, philosophy, art, science ( excluding politics because it's too prone to flamewars). By the way

I second that. It's a bubble with great breadth of topic vs insightful comments ratio. But in the grand scheme of things, it's still a bubble.

There was a similar trend in 2017 I think, but it died off with the bear market. It has scents of the original dotcom bubble. Slap a .com extension on your brand, collect the cash.

Yes indeed, it can be liberating to feel vindicated if you have a particular hunch about a market and it's validated externaly. Were you in the driving seat, like a founder, when it happened or in an employee position trying to stir th

I am sorry if it came off like fighting. I didn't consider it fighting, but just arguing. I am indeed interested in subjective opinions. But most of the first answers were answering by explaining what was "the right" way for

Well it is not really a war, so much as a rebalancing of power dynmics within Tradfi circles. You can look at the impact of computer on capital markets since the early eighties through the evolution of the social structure of investment ban

Both fair points. But at very least it shows that feeling slighted is within the range of possible reactions. Regarding the original Iphone, once you get to the level of product decisions, it's perfectly legitimate to consider Steve Jo

I honestly didn't think it would be a controversial opinion. I was merely asking for some insider, foot soldier account. But I'll bite. Let's say you are a bicycle making company and you come up with a completely new form fac

Regarding " sincerest form of flattery ", I think how you copy and when you copy matters. For example, if you copy something that is still in its infancy because you are privy to some insider talks from the creators. I don't

I don't think your first paragraph support your second paragraph the way you seem to think it does. I agree all smartphones today are Iphone in disguise, but it is not a fact that is part of common wisdom. Therefore, there is no direct

Yes. exactly. You are kind of making my point. There is a comment, in another thread on this page saying: I can't imagine how any of that could have been "soul crushing" ,... I expect it was the exact opposite feeling, act

See, that's why I made the difference between "business consequences" and emotional impact. When you say "being copied means you're correct", you are talking like someone with 10 thousands feet view of the situ

This is so mean ! Yet it's probably the game plan, to be in the best position to adapt to whatever Apple we'll do.

Blockchains has been solving my "problems". The issue is he has a very limited set of "problems" in life. and that's fine too.

For one they are YC alums. Now that I read your answer after reading the others, it honestly makes more sense this way. Especially if some people where on the fence.

Interesting set of answers. I will jump to the most interesting one. 2) It's easier to think of Airbnb as a good idea now, but back then the idea that you could even make a business out of it was mind blowing. A lot of concepts that su
