Is a lot of your comp in equity? How bad are your debt payments? Not trying to shame or anything. That just sounds insane that you could be barely making ends meet on 200k

But… what if you really like living in SF/SV? :( It’s just such a bummer that the absolute worst financial decision of my life is to live in my favorite place in the world. I get it, it’s how the world works, but it sucks to choose b

Again, super duper not a lawyer, but my understanding is that everyone has copyright protection over their own voice/face/name. It’s not like a trademark, which you have to file for. It’s assumed protection. Edit: after some qui

I mean, if the whole thing is that the filter makes you sound like Drake, you are objectively using Drake’s likeness for commercial benefit without his permission. IANAL, but that’s about as straightforward of a copyright violation as it ge

I have never gotten a startup offer that did not make clear what percentage of equity I was getting. If I saw "40,000 shares" with no idea what the denominator was, I would definitely ask clarifying questions.

“Police are easy to hire” Then why is the PD of every single major American city dramatically understaffed?

Every single piece of advice for doing hard things eventually boils down to this, yes. But even if you read a thousand different ways to explain/justify/dress up "do hard things", you only need one to really click with y

I have a family member who has been going to sleep at 7:30 and waking up at 3:30 every day for a decade or more. And that's with three kids. People do, in fact, do this. Absolutely fucking baffling to me, but they do.

“Things you admire” is an extraordinarily broad category, so yeah, you probably could. But within the world of VC-backed tech companies, I do think “traditional” status markers are still very influential, and that when you dig into the Abou

There's a winner-take-all dynamic at play, though. The better CUDA is, the more things get built on top of it. The more things get built on top of CUDA, the better the CUDA ecosystem of tooling, frameworks, etc. gets. The better the

I could get behind this prediction just because it feels like you could take literally any political affiliation and still end up pushing for it.

Yeah, this is like claiming lead ethyl in gas “hasn’t caused mass harm” in 1954. There’s absolutely zero way to know that yet.

Man, I wish I could staple this comment to the top of every discussion of SVB.

I don't know how fast banks can sell treasuries, but I feel like the answer has to be shorter than "all of 2022" 3 is pretty predictable for a bank that advertised itself as banking half of all VC-backed startups in the U.S.

SVB could have bought 3-year, 1-year, 6-month Treasury bills with that money -- which during 2020 and 2021 were yielding <0.25%. This would have been "safer", but lost them money. Instead, they bought 10-, 20-, and 30-year T-Bi

Exactly the kind of response I was hoping for. This is super interesting, thanks for this.

Lol. If every depositor at SVB just instantly took the straight-up haircut — to the tune of -20% or worse - 50 more banks would fail in the next week. Feds are averting national crisis here.

Yeah, but I think it might legitimately 5 or 10x, if running models on-device is as helpful as it sounds.

Question for someone smarter than me: What would it take for existing RAM to get that much better? I have a dim sense of the hardware industry, but I know that disk storage has gotten 10-100x cheaper, CPU/GPU power increases quite stea

I have to imagine that if you have enough money in First Republic for your withdrawal to actually be a problem for them… you at least have a dim awareness of, say, the WSJ front page.

It’s awesome for formatting and structuring. Copy and paste a bunch of styled JS components -> get back out a single CSS sheet Paste in a markdown document -> get out the same thing in HTML Fun stuff like that.

A nonprofit wouldn't have to distribute profits to charity. It just can't distribute profits to private or public shareholders (because it can't have them). A nonprofit is obligated to reinvest any earnings towards its miss

Tennessee did a version of this, and had to fire a huge number of teachers because they were just straight-up giving their students the answers to state-level test. Not saying incentives are totally the wrong approach, but they're also

Yeah, but that's technical knowledge, not project-management knowledge. The article argues that the real gap is not in people who know how to build things, but in dedicated civil servants who know how to manage those people. And that

I think it's extra insulting when someone uses a font that's just supposed to look Arabic I have definitely seen attempts at a "global-looking" interface where fake languages were put on screen using plausible-looking

A significant fraction of Americans would object explicitly on that point, yeah. Wouldn't matter if the apartments had solid gold toilets. Neoconservatism is a hell of a drug. Wouldn't matter for the areas that could actually u

You're not wrong to say it, but describing conspiracy theories as a "high-growth vertical" kinda makes my stomach hurt
