Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I've been using Superhuman for years and it definitely helps me get through the 50+ emails that are awaiting me each morning significantly faster than either GMail's web or mobile client or Outl

My former employer granted me 0.1% of the company, which was 26,000 shares. 3 years later they went public via a SPAC at $10 a share, with 371,000,000 shares floated. Apparently, fundraising rounds significantly diluted common stock and the

And the sun also greatly increased its activity over the last 100 years. Anthropomorphic climate change is still debatable. https://www.space.com/2942-sun-activity-increased-century-st...

According to an actual source, the WSJ, the coming rolling blackouts this summer are due to green energy policies: https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-summer-of-rolling-blac...

Sigh. As with many things, we don't really know what is and isn't caused by "climate change." Why for instance does CA now have so many fires but TX has fewer? Could it be climate change? Sure. Could it be the major diff

The article also made an absolute statement calling the blackouts "climate driven". That's inaccurate.

Yeah, this article seems to be bashing the concept of the 10x engineer. I know engineers who I'd define as 10x who are equally excellent at all of these items as well. If anything, this is just a general definition of an engineer.

I can be all 3 of those things at the same job. Just depends upon how I'm feeling that day.

Blackouts are not climate driven. We are retiring unfavorable sources of energy like coal and nuclear faster than we are bringing new sources of green energy online. It's fucking stupid. edit: According to the WSJ, the coming blackouts

What an incredible achievement. Good for AMD. The Epyc is a fantastic processor. And there are another 2 (3?) faster systems coming online in the next year or so.

Yes, and most/many were corporate reimbursed. I lived in SF for 10 years without a car.

Of course. We can't raise interest rates because we need to protect asset prices for the rich and don't want to pay more interest at the government level or on the $8T borrowed in the last decade for stock repurchases by the Fortu

I've had over 10,000 Uber rides, all black, some SUV since 2011. I would have no problem if they just focused on the higher end of the market where there's profit to be made. I never thought their going down market was a good idea

Be careful. I have a lot of friends leaving Chicago due to outrageous crime rates.

Agreed. I left in 2018 and am much happier now to not have to play the game "Is that water or urine?" when I see a puddle on the street. Trick question.....it's always urine.

Leave. It's so much better elsewhere. I'm so happy in Boston.

by gsibble 4y ago
Completely agree. Lots of people are blind to it for some reason. It's worse than some 3rd world countries. Absolute shithole. Glad I left in 2018.

by gsibble 4y ago
Pretty much all the reasons I left in 2018 after 10 years. Expensive, filthy, and dangerous. I live in Boston now and my quality of life has soared. Make just as much too.

I've been paid high hourly wages to build software and you definitely start to look at every minute of non-billable time as, "I could have made X in these 3 hours I spent relaxing." Leads to overwork. There's a healthy b

Not to mention in many cases, you can carry a gun in public, and you do need a license that has to be renewed, just like a driver's license. So the original poster's point is moot.

An even better number is the types of guns used in homicides. AR style weapons are used in less than 150 shootings a year on average out of 24,000 homicides. It's mostly handguns. Just because they are prevalent in particular tragedies

It's precisely because we all act like this and essentially glorify the shooter. If we ignored it, it would go away.

As I've said elsewhere, having dealt with them and seen who they invest in, morality does not seem to be an important aspect of YC investments.

People are realizing crypto has no use beyond store of value. It's a solution looking for a problem. Crypto and Defi are a joke.

by gsibble 4y ago
YC has never invested particularly morally knowing many of their founders and companies. I wouldn't say it's their strong suit.

As I mentioned above, my wife works longer hours than I do. I do the laundry, groceries, supply shopping, cook meals, clean, etc.. I have two full time jobs and I do all the housework.

Indeed. I'll never work for a company like that again. And it's another reason managers want people back in offices.

Actually no. They replaced me with 9 engineers to do the same amount of work and had to delay the project 6 months because they had me working 100 hours a week and renegged on a raise and a vacation.

This. Historically, a company is fundamentally valued by the discounted rate of its free cash flows into the future. The discount rate is decided by several factors including the risk free rate.....which is frequently tied to interest rates

A lot of this is because VCs are in bed with the media, especially tech news sites. They've been publicly and loudly unhappy with the prices of rounds for several years now. They raised an enormous amount of capital over the last few y
