Joe Rogan perhaps has no grounds to complain. I am complaining, on my behalf, because I want a world where more than one viewpoint is allowed to win.

I'll try to explain why I have an issue with what is happening here. Yes, I agree with almost everything you said. However, the issue is that platforms are consolidated. Depending on your chosen format of content, there are only 2-3 vi

I agree, I use lichess - but the question was, where can we play these modes.

>Do any chess games support these modes or is these possible to play today? Chess.com currently supports most of the modes in the list - except, I think, semi-torpedo, no-castling (10), and pawn-back. Which, to me, are the least exciting

Nope. It's $125k for 7%; then the 375k are on terms of next equity round. So the first tranche values your company at 1.78 million; if, afterwards, you raise more money at 6 million valuation, YC gets another 6.25% for 375k. Correct me

Erik Hoel raised a really similar point in his substack - that the vast majority of literary fiction writers now study it, as opposed to no education or diverse education. They have spent a lot of time in workshops and create writing classe

I went to a climbing gym for a year, several times a week. Never had a longer conversation with anyone I wasn't already friends with; not that I tried that hard. I'm not sure how I'd start a friendship there.

But all other stock allocations are an arms length transaction; so all you've done is reframe the question to "why do the founders retain so much equity?" Why dont seed fund demand 16% instead of 8%? Why doesn't the

This is uncharitable, the parent comment explicitly said CEOs are a power multiplier. Using your parallel, I think it'd be more fair to compare > CEO + 300 software engineers, sales people, product managers > 400 software enginee

Everyone in the comments is raising the (valid) fire safety argument; however, I'd like to point out that this is a non-obvious trade-off. How many house fires are there? How many of them are in tall buildings? How many of them would b

Because I dislike euphemisms. Is it any less propaganda just because you agree with it? Educating people of what? "Gender equality is good" is a normative statement. And nitpicking aside, my point stands entirely, whether it'

Well, yes. What solution do you propose? Mass propaganda? Perhaps possible in 2021, but it wouldn't have been as effective in the 1930s.

0 hits for Rammstein and Romania. Perhaps OP just scraped something like a 1000 comments? Also, location filters seem to be hardcoded for US and Canada.
