You missed my point. Said another way, "mathing out correctly your existence to guarantee survival" generates a type stress no one warns you about. Consider yourself now warned. Twice.

Consider if "space tourism" ends up having no product market fit. There is no data currently that it is a viable business. Sure, there are a bunch of pre-orders, and owners of companies now making maiden voyages, but that's

“Scale up”, a software term that has almost zero value when translated to aerospace engineering.

A thing the FIRE community misses: The felt sense of Agency is VERY different between a) still making some income, feeling like your hand is still somewhat on the wheel and b) sitting in the back seat, with nothing to do but continually rec

Have you interviewed both successful and unsuccessful YouTubers and asked them about their growth story? Questions like: What tactics worked and didn’t work for their own subscriber growth? You could even ask them how they think they would

Dude, the pentagon left the door wide open saying “we don’t have the technological capabilities to determine the origin of these phenomenon”. And that “we won’t be able to report the origin of these phenomenon until we have the technologic

That expensive part is NRE and only making a few tens of them, no production efficiency. With the volumes spacex will be hitting, efficiencies will certainly be found and NRE exceptionally better amortized.

I like to think of google ads the IRS of the internet. I pay my ad agency to minimize my google ads tax, not to grow business, same instructions I give to my tax accountant. Google will argue that everyone wins if you grow and pay more goo

Maybe it rolled in there? Or the delivery agent didn't want it to roll off the stoop, so stuck it in there? Either way, shapes that can roll are not the best choice for items we want to stay stationary!

I also operate a DTC company and ship similar volume. 8 years ago, when we started, we shipped exclusively in tubes. The loss rate with USPS was somewhere between 5-10%, it was too painful to measure exactly. I switched to a custom-sized

This was talking about destroying the physical tooling. Ain’t nobody sneaking 60,000 tools out the back door to the Soviets. Many/most of those tools are going to weigh many tons, would require rigging to lift and flatbeds to move.

While Apple surely has lots of mechanical engineers, Apple doesn’t have the greatest track record of successfully innovating moving components with high lifecycle requirements. Would you be excited to drive a moving vehicle designed by same

I encourage you to validate your assertion at your local sporting goods store (comparing tactile feedback against price point). Don't worry, that Yeti is still a great cooler (I jest, I jest) Source: I engineer tactile mechanisms to

Some of the latches on expensive coolers are intentionally hard to close, leading users to slam them, which leaves the user with the feeling of the cooler/latch being rugged (and hopefully worth the extra price of admission). These sla

There are tons of human-safe SLA resins, the dental industry has been doing this for years. Maybe I misunderstood your point.

That 1.3 number is generally accurate, it varies a bit by type of plastic and end-item requirements. BUT, that 30%, it’s not post-consumer recycled plastic. It’s the manufacture grinding up the runners, sprues, and bad parts. In the indust

You have it backwards. Political ad creatives needed something to do outside election cycles.

If I understand your argument correctly, my response is the same, that the "of law" or "by law" has no bearing and never has. People/organizations/governments will do what they have the leverage and power to ge

100% disagree. People good at this “know it when they see it” on the “finding a product that people are willing to pay for”. They don’t find this part hard. What is hard is keeping mistakes/ignorance marginally less fatal than the g

Possibly you have cause and effect backwards. What if the act of ‘thinking’ that you have a problem leads to the heightened distractibility?

I believe your valuation discounts the persuasive storytelling value of the YT’s “longerish” content. Not the greatest comparison, but YT : TikTok :: TV ad industry (2019-$70B) : Print Magazine (2019-$15B) [0] https://www.marketi

As an American business owner, in my experience reality has no concern for “fairness” but is constructed by leverage and power.

While I 100% agree with the intent of the HN guideline, there are times when calling out crazy as crazy is fully warranted. I believe this is one of those cases. I don’t believe parent comment was a “shallow dismissal”, it was an accurate a

Thank you for the references and synopsis. I’d be happy to purchase copy of that book!

Did this re-framing “framework” come from a book, class, etc.? It sounds well formulated, I’d like to learn more.

Also industries that require the ability to relentlessly “sell, sell, sell”. Many political advertising and online DTC mattresses companies (to name a couple) are based Utah.

Possibly related to our naturally-selected drive that underpins Persistence Hunting[0]? Doesn’t speak to the “irrational” prong of your question, but more along the lines of “past any/all expectation.” And no idea if anyone has already
