Great work by Charlie on this. As Charlie is an NYC VC, I assume most investors on this are from NYC and there may be an Easy Coast bias in the data here. It’s a stereotype of East Coast VCs to overly focus on monetization compared to West

It’s not a coincidence this guy works at a big corporation like Volkswagen and holds the opinion he does. If you want to know about the future, don’t ask the incumbents. They will only tell you about the status quo.

Great article. The part that stands out to me: > Unfortunately, after a year of purposely trying, I was still not becoming Elon Musk nor any other “successful” person. Despite reading everyday, meditating, getting up early, taking cold s

1. Several examples are false (as pointed out in HN comments) 2. This post is descriptive, but not explanatory (startup bro science) 3. Even taken at face value, it’s Confirmation Bias presenting outliers

Yes it is. The business's legal structure is being closed and shut down. OP only has claim over how the assets of that legal structure are distributed. If his partner goes on to start a new business in the same niche to do the same thi

This is not true at all. The business's legal entity is being shut down and closed. The OP only has claim over assets of that business. If he agrees to certain assets being given to the other partners, he has no claim for the future us

This is a terribly unethical viewpoint. Just because your startup is worthless doesn’t mean you get a percentage of your cofounders next business. That’s ridiculous.

You don’t have to tell me. I am well aware. I am not defending CCP. This article still provides no proof and very clearly looks like trolling. Lot’s of people favorite tweets about HK and South Park. It’s a completely different thing when s

There is no way this is true. This guy is trolling. China is not that vigilant. This guy is not the NBA, Blizzard, or a major TV network. Though this joke may ironically end up getting him banned in the end from the media attention. I would

I’m curious why the author used phx-change function for the form, I believe a better way to do this would be the phx-keyup function attached the text field.

I agree with this for the most part, though there are many false positives of “great teams” on paper who screw it all up purely because of a backwards methodology. Methodology and people are not mutually exclusive. And it’s a lot harder to

Yes, all of my statements are just one of thousands or millions of potentials scenarios.

Absolutely. That would be incredibly enlightening.

You are absolutely correct to point out the key hole in this entire article; there are thousands of potential outcomes and potential benefits of proving we’re in a simulation. 1. Perhaps the goal of the simulation is to prove it’s a simulat

I’ve hired a lot of engineers over the years who were better at engineering than me, but I can get 10x done faster because it’s my vision/passion and I work 80 hours a week vs their 40 because it’s my company (I am also full stack). So

Debunked = Clickbait. Nullified or reversed is different than debunked. Flat-earth theory is debunked. This is not even close to that.
