I rode a bicycle from Canada to Mexico (in about a month) with a close friend. We bought a book called Bicycling the Pacific Coast (before smart phones). I had a cheap $150 univega bike and my friend had a $3000 cannondale. His broke mine d

Other than watching shows in a foreign language and reading subtitles, is there any specific way you use it to learn a foreign language? I am learning Hebrew but I find that many Hebrew Netflix shows do not offer English subtitles. It'

YouTube music is really good. I prefer it more than Spotify and if you already pay for YouTube it's free for you.

Josh waitzkin breaks this down really well in his book the art of learning. He's a chess champion and push hands champion and discusses how to learn. Basically as you become and expert in something you learn to pay less attention to th

The benefit outweighs the lack of privacy. I just uploaded recent blood tests and other health info into ChatGPT and then had it analyze what I could do to improve my health, specifically cholesterol and sugar. Then asked it to red team its

As a small business owner in a non tech business (60 employees, $40M revenue), AI is definitely worth $20/month but not as I anticipated. I thought we'd use it to reduce our graphics department but instead we've begun outsour

I don't think it's at all healthy to look directly at the sun. But I have noticed that my eyes get weaker after spending a lot of time indoors, like if I'm sick. Getting enough time in sunlight seems to be heavily correlated

At least in business, this isn't really true. It makes more sense to form long term partnerships by being trustworthy than to have a reputation of hostility and lawsuits.

It makes around $40 billion a year in revenue. I find it hard to believe it operates at a loss. It's not a monopoly. Tons of other sites successfully host and profit from videos, such as TikTok facebook etc.

Hosting costs are only going down. Now with nuclear energy costs will continue dropping as well. Google doesn't break out costs but their last earnings report yesterday had YouTube revenue at $9.79 billion for the quarter. I find it ha

I personally think that it's not ok that Iran has sewed so much discord in the Middle East by arming Hez, Hamas and the Houthis. I'm very happy the US got involved and destroyed their enrichment sites. I'm also happy Israel d

The PA still uses a pay to slay program encouraging the murder of Israeli civilians within the 67 borders. President Abbas has a PhD in holocaust denial. Calling the PA left wing isn't accurate. It's also bent on the destruction o

It's perfectly fine to criticize the government of any country. But is anyone in the UK, or Syria, or Iraq (my birthplace) saying those countries don't have a right to exist? Why just Israel? When you have a standard that exists f
