The question is not whether education is important. It's not even about whether an MBA is important or useful. It is: Is an MBA the best education for a company with 1-3 people for an extended period of time? Many of the organizational

It's just a ton of opportunity cost (50-80k + multiple years) and irrelevant skills at the early stage. It's not like an MBA makes you 100% successful (or even a lot more likely). So the common wisdom is you might as well take tha

While there is a correlation there, I think it's more about supply chain. Take a look at NM, Utah, Montana, AZ, etc. There is way more density on the East Coast. You can also see this by swapping the product to Guacamole

I agree with this fully. There is a small sweet-spot of people who are doing hobby projects or have SMB tech companies to where a project being open source matters. Note: this is much different from infra being open (React, Linux, etc). Peo

I would be very surprised if you, or anyone on this message board, had a use case for it. It was a niche example that I knew you wouldn’t know. But you made my point that advertising is about awareness first.

Cool idea! I would try to focus on a specific use case in the beginning even if the platform is still broad. It doesn’t work without network effects and it’s hard to get that if 100 people are on and each are using it for something differen

I wonder what "Truth" is. If I say I want you to make a picture of a lion eating at a 5 star restaurant, is that Truth? Is it truth because it can't refuse an ask? That feels like it is uninhibited, but not Truth, or truth.

Every time you’re wrong and you disagree with someone who is right you are inventing things that don’t exist. Unless you’re saying you have never held on to a wrong opinion that was at some point proven to be wrong?
