I just asked it the same, and here's the answer it gave me: "In this situation, the right thing to do is to pull the lever and divert the trolley onto the side track. While this may result in the death of one person, it will save

I've seen a couple startups with ~10 people and no market fit paying $500k/y to hire a FAANG VP. That's even more damaging than a fresh grad kid managing 50 people!

That's pretty much how a lot of "unicorns" felt in the past 2-3 years

A BIG component of "strategy" is learning to confuse & obfuscate. That's why these kinds of empty phrases and jargon are so common.

That requires you to trust stablecoins, though. Not a very wise idea IMO, for any meaningful amount of money

Volatility aside, stuff like Bitcoin _is_ already used for payments, albeit in a much lower volume than the crypto proponents wish it would be. I pay contractors now and then with BTC, particularly in South America and Africa, and works MUC

I’ve recently been through the WeWork layoff, and it was in the air for 3 months. Meta’s layoff from 2 days ago was also “possible” for at least 2 quarters, with comments from leadership and q&a responses that made everyone’s life even

With Apple allegedly joining the space in less than 2 months, and multiple sunglasses-sized devices out there already (nreal, rokid, etc), I think we'll know very soon whether XR has a chance of going mainstream this decade

What makes you assume non-techies aren't feeling like the quality of results is lower? Plenty of people moving their search needs to reddit, tiktok, even pinterest seems to indicate that it _does_ affect them - they just don't art

We actually stopped doing video calls and do exclusively audio, with or without sharing screens or apps like miro/figma, and I feel like stress dropped meaningfully. Video calls are awful, they add noise and delayed visual cues that ju

Culture isn’t about “mingling” - it’s about scaling a group of humans that’ll propagate a set of norms, rewarded behaviors and discouraged habits. If you just leave it to everyone to do whatever they please, you _might_ succeed, the same wa

Tried Brazilian Portuguese - the accent is spot on, but the wording is completely off (reads a bit like Portuguese from Portugal). Great starting point though!

Germany has low-cost healthcare for the unemployed. I used to pay 80 euro/mo while doing my startup - it's essentially free, compared to the american system

I know a couple people from Germany doing startups - a couple of them told me they don't bother w/ programs like this because they can get a grant from the government, w/o giving out any equity. Or just bootstrap, since their

Depends on the school and depends on the person. The same way many companies in the US assume any grad from MIT is a good engineer, there are companies who look at resumes w/ an MSc and bump them up. From personal experience, MScs are

Based on what I see, the concept of "genre" is gone for a few years - you just listen to whatever spotify or apple music or your app of choice recommends, and it fluctuates across a set of genres, but it's not as "fixed&

You can hate Facebook all you want, but it's quite the stretch to call TikTok "amazing". It's very addictive, while the algo knows what you want, but that's mostly it. Obviously anecdotal and personal opinion here,
