That’s more specific to the food business. I run an advertising company and we always take payment in advance and work with several large (publicly traded) companies.

What’s really grounded me is using a habit tracker and forcing myself to keep a string of positive habits alive - working out, meditation, writing, etc. Good habits keep me grounded when I’m feeling lost. Something I do to block Reddit addi

If I recall correctly they’re also used to be a kids version. It was great and perfect to show kids the building blocks of science. It started with a lever or something very simple, then went into locks, etc.

As a VC whenever I heard this or saw it on a deck it was just an immediate sign to not take the meeting. The founder didn’t know anything about his customer. It was such a poor use of logic it’s astounding.

It’s hard to define what a friend is, but my definition is someone you can call for help at 3 am and they’ll take your call and help no matter what. There are only a few people in my life that fit that definition, and I consider most of the

You seem to be getting a lot of advice, some good some I disagree with. But I would say that this post on the front page of hacker news is an amazing opportunity for you to promote your three failed startups. Maybe one will get the traction

I really don’t worry too much. I’m lucky to be surrounded by the tech seen in Israel and just see so many innovative ideas and solutions to various problems on a daily basis. It’s more that it just doesn’t seem worth it. We use a bag for a

I monitor my urine color and how I feel. If I feel bad I’ll grab a glass of water or even buy a plastic bottle, but that happens maybe once a year. I really think that people aren’t that fragile and the bottled water industry has done an ex

I end up using the bags I get (from food delivery, shopping for fruits etc) as garbage bags or dog poop bags. So I reuse the ones I have. But they still last 1000 years in our environment to save me a minimal amount of convenience.

That’s a sunk cost. You can’t change the past and it shouldn’t affect your future decisions. Plus someone in your position doing a great job could probably save a ton of carbon from hitting the atmosphere.

Exactly. What I always tell vendors when I get a strange look after refusing their plastic bag is that we use it for 5 minutes but it stays in the environment for 1000 years.

I think individuals can help but not so much by conservation. More in trying to affect policy change at local or national political agencies.

The risks of dehydration are way overstated imo. And I live in a warm weather country. Whole being thirsty isn’t optimal the actual risk of something serious happening is negligible. Especially since I monitor my urine color and other signs

It’s definitely a choice. I prefer to travel light even if it means I’ll be thirsty sometimes.

I realize that. It’s definitely a choice since I like to travel light and walk a lot.

I try really hard not to use single use plastic. Especially plastic bags, plastic bottles, etc. This frequently means I’ll be extremely thirst throughout some days but will wait till I get home or to work to drink filtered water out of the

$0.25 per egg is still a great value in terms of health and satiety.

Excellent book. I read it a long time ago. I’m sure if their was an update their would be even more studies showing the massive benefits of exercise on all aspects of life.

You’re half right. Eventually sellers flood the market for that product and the profit goes down. Then as they get rid of their inventory the margin grows again. So you have to stay on top of thousands of products, and your cost, in order t

I somehow started inviting friends and meetings for walks instead of meals. It started because I was tired of sitting all day. And because I was connected to a VC and had meetings where I could dictate the terms, I’d let people know that I

The author was basically stating that it’s not as much fun to watch anymore. I don’t follow sports too much but I recall he wrote striking out happens 2-3x more often than it used to. Coaches use many more pitchers in a game as well. Anyway

I read recently on the Atlantic newsletter that in sports that’s more the Moneyball statistics of playing. Sports have become overoptimized. 3 pointers in basketball. Strikeouts or home runs in baseball. Maybe it’s too much a focus on math

How do we as a society combat this oversensitivity? Since when is the use of the word “guys” a micro aggression? Why is it so rare for someone to stand up against this type of behavior?

Seems much harder to fake an Airbnb review. You actually have to stay at the place. And since Airbnb charges a lot of fees and taxes, it’s fairly expensive to have a friend do that in order to leave a 5 star review. Source: Airbnb host sinc
