This whole Second Brain idea is new to me. Sounds like a lot of work relative to what you get in return.

Seems consistent to me. Does your example fit within his caveat “(still retry some!)”.

My mind went to a different order but virtually identical reasoning: “Customer” focus - selecting a worthwhile problem, however you define that personally. Curious - natural curiosity provides the energy to solve the problem. Collaborative

Interesting idea. Once you have the questions and get some buy-in… have you considered how you’d deal with an employee solving the problem and modifying the model before you get your results back? It would be a sleazy thing to do but I can

Umm… we stopped nuclear testing, which is what allowed the background radiation to reduce.

I think he stopped short of a more controversial observation (for this audience), that capitalising these expenses for tax purposes is actually closer to GAAP/what's happening in the financial statements, and the prior treatment c

If I were you I’d think of it as a trade-off between legacy support and being able to innovate. Sounds like you have some very particular views about priorities which may not be consistent with reality for businesses.

Many studies showing it aids recall more effectively than typing or event writing on a tablet.

Banks are slow in large part because of systems built to support the AML/KYC controls and fraud prevention. (Think about your wire transfer getting screened etc). New banks do this more efficiently but this is still the bottleneck. A b

It's probably obvious but the more they have then the more they spend (as a share of total spend) on appreciating rather than depreciating assets. The appreciating assets often aren't visible - stakes in companies for example. (Bu

The article focuses on the learning curve rather than the problem Rust is solving, as an observation. Think you need both of those to draw a conclusion as to whether it’s worth doing.

This could indicate many things but I’m having a hard time seeing it as a vote of confidence… Surprised the stock is up.

The market should discount all future cash flows so as long as we end up in a more normal place the results of any one quarter don’t really matter. But yeah, the market is assuming this all resolves itself in relatively short order, which m

Live in a major city without a car/bike. Many restaurants within close physical proximity.

Useful framing. Then follows that when supply of capital goes up, returns go down. i.e. we don't need to believe that the world is conspiring against angels, but in the efficiency of markets, and therefore earning an acceptable return

Those are interesting theories. The system is a little more complicated and it’s hard for an insurer to directly control theft rates (to continue your example) but they do charge less for vehicle types that are stolen less often.

Expectations can only be managed by someone who has sufficient understanding - in this case Google by not providing the result.

I found myself recently making decent superficial progress only to introduce a bug and had a system crash (unusual bc it’s python) bc I didn’t really understand how the package worked (bc I bypassed the docs for the AI examples). It did end

I always scratch my head when someone refers to the “company”. A company is a bunch of people, and that’s the level at which I build relationships and make decisions about loyalty.

Hehe he’s signalling his high conviction to get those in after him and keep the valuation rising!

Pretty sure the verdict is in - natural foods over processed.

As an observation, the quotations and the article itself doesn’t appear very thoughtful or well reasoned. It sounds more like a VC wanted a big deal (or at least to represent it as such) and made a bet, invited his buddies(?) along, and the

Yup - realised the knife wasn’t for show when we were out of control with a knotted spinnaker halyard headed for some rocks.

Comparative advantage makes sense, with a national security overlay. That’s where I’ve landed anyway, and is a very simple explanation for all the more complex perspectives out there.

I thought the same. Notice he doesn’t say it’s better than a laptop, only better than he expected. Then he goes on to explain what he doesn’t like about laptops generally, without explaining what he doesn’t like about this set up.

This was my takeaway too. It’s interesting to see the patterns. It would be helpful for some guidance upfront around when the situations in which they are most useful to implement. If a pattern is a tool, then steering me towards when it’s
