Sometimes it's about the journey not the destination. Not everyone's in a rush.

OP did say "I think". When it comes to liking chocolate or flowers, let's assume it's just an opinion.

It's easy to think it if you take Elon at his word (5 years away in 5 years).

What I figured was Amtrak travelers were train enthusiasts or looking for a nostalgic scenic route. There are also some benefits such as less stress than an airport, being able to have a sleeper car, a dining car, more space, and panoramic

And it's unfortunate if you have the Reddit app installed and try doing this, because every link is going to jump you to the app, and you have to switch back to the browser to do another search.

There's no prioritization for help. It's not like YC is running the businesses or anything is zero-sum because they both have the same and equal resources and access for guidance.

Yeah, my point is that most people that have do have high-end phones are better off with a smartphone than an entry-level camera with kit lens. But if you're doing macro or telephoto or anything else, yeah, a bigger sensor camera with

RAW on phone is great. My reason for not using my full-frame less often is that posting photos on social media made me feel like a narcissist so I stopped. I didn't really have the passion to take and process photos just for the joy of

The deteriorating UX.

That's funny. I hope to avoid that myself! People should use partners as one of many resources (especially for motivation and feedback), but should not be the sole resource to mimic.

Great quote. I meant to imply that post-processing is a plus. A good percentage of people still think post-processing is cheating (i.e., #nofilter) but it's where the creativity actually comes into play. The hard thing about digital ph

Please do! It has some growing pains. While it supports 100+ languages, Korean is one of few that has first-class support (just based on cross-cultural relationship statistics). I may reach out to you over email if you sign up.

That's a good one, especially if you pair with SRS. Just have to be careful with songs, they often don't use conversational speech or do funky things with the language.

The business of photography is more marketing than craft these days. Even professional photography is a commodity. There are some people that stretch the art of photography, but they are more digital artists than photographers. They take a

For most people carrying DSLRs (e.g., Canon Rebels), an iPhone would yield better results. Most won't make use of post-processing, focal lengths, apertures that an interchangeable lens camera with high dynamic range provides. Phones ha

Yeah, I wouldn't go as extreme as refold's 100% comprehension before even speaking. Just noting what's become popular recently. Personally, a two-week period or so just absorbing and practicing pronunciation by yourself sound

That's a good point. It's not necessarily learning directly 100% from a partner, but more using them for feedback, reinforcement, and motivation. I'm curious what the context of that conversation was!

by ngokevin 5y ago
Yeah, the method is very appealing because speaking requires interaction with other people. People are very content to learn passively via watching movies because speaking does require that fearlessness.

Interestingly in Hong Kong, they will go to hell and back to divert the conversation to English if they see you aren't a native speaker. You literally have to say "I can't speak English" if you want to keep it in Cantone

Yeah, very hard to learn Cantonese since it's tonal, but you can do it! For movies, I find it a lot easier to reinforce once I've gotten used to the language a bit. Lot of good Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan films to learn with. The

That's a reason why many language learning apps or methods recommend a period of "immersion" (i.e., just watching shows or listening to music) and no speaking. Just listen and get used to the sounds before trying to produce i

An argument for UBI is we are relying less on "people's work" and more on automation, globalization, and a winner-takes-all economy. If more and more contribution is being done by a select few through advanced technology, wha

I've been using it and it's more wholesome than as you describe. It's not long sessions (50 minutes, pre-booked), and there's actually not much "hanging out", just focus time. I've been using it to boost m

There's a video about how Reebok became the sole sponsor of UFC, forced every athlete to wear them for pennies on the dollar (making them drop their more lucrative endorsements). Their store would have clothing with the athletes'

Most traffic is through the mobiles apps anyways, so the traffic to FB from FF is a statistical blip.

The only thing Facebook has really made is the newsfeed? That's maybe the least popular feature.

It's sensible to both not put anyone on a pedestal nor completely villify someone. He's polarizing, for sure. For me, he puts rockets in space, but also spreads a lot of misinformation or lies for self gain. I also don't thin

Would what Elon says in public be enough to refute? He does say many things ( https://elonmusk.today )
