Commenting a long while after the thread was active, but... there's no reason we couldn't rename other rounds too. The seed round could be the "traction round" and the Series A-Z rounds would be the "scale rounds&qu

Well, if the government is going to drop money from helicopters, I would at least prefer they ATTEMPT to do so in a way that might lead to some scientific advancement. They could also just send everyone a check for $1000, but although that

This is a really interesting observation. I've never heard someone mention a "buffer/holding effect" before, but that makes a lot of sense. I wonder if it's something like... the average individual spends half of w

And a major reason workers are spent out is because of high rents. If the US would build enough housing in the major employment centers that the highly skilled workers wouldn't spend 90% of their after-tax income on fixed expenses, th

Instead of injecting money top-down through the Federal Reserve and large banks, they could inject it bottom-up in selected industries. Invest $1 trillion in biotech. Some will succeed and produce amazing advances. Most will fail, but th

For starters, have you visited every major city in Europe, including historically famous cities, sites of historical battles, capitals of smaller countries? Sampled the local cuisine in each? Tried the local hobbies? Danced in a local cl

Why not call it a "POC" (proof of concept) round, or "concept round", or "dice round"?

You could make a delete button which merely opens a popup to explain that they do not save it in the first place. That way if they're looking for a delete button, they'll find it, but it will give them the right information.

Also, the creator of this site can profit by 10% per year by working for 10% more than it takes to afford ramen noodles and live in a tent.

Someone please release a generic "generate event" button! (Or please tell me where I can get one... Googling for "wifi enabled button" provides irrelevant results). Below someone mentioned this: https://flic.

Never said that. Just said there was an article about this, and with my limited knowledge of biology it's a plausible thing that I'd personally try (along with everything else). Certainly I'd do whatever the doctor says, an
