This is a common objection, "It's already priced in". I've believed it for a long time, but also been really interested in the claim, since it feels recursive in the kind of suspicious way. Recently I read / watched

What are people going to do with all the GPUs? I guess we'll all have really good gaming rigs, lol. Sincerely, perhaps there will be a new flood of crypto farms, which I suppose would drive the prices of crypto down. Other ideas for wh

It’s possible the comments have changed, but I see nothing in the thread about mass loss. I do agree about weight though — losing weight is largely diet. > Go from obese to not obese and the median person's cholesterol will drop qui

The dietary impact on cholesterol in the blood is surprisingly low. Looking it up, this source says diet can affect 20-30% of your blood levels [1]. I don’t have a great statistic about exercise, but I’d encourage you to question what you t

To be clear, I'm not endorsing Amazon writ large, I'm just saying I like the framing (ha!) as "two-way doors". This is maybe equivalent to your concept of reversible decisions, just by another name. While we are griping

+1! I've fallen in love with many of Amazon's in-group concepts, and maybe I'm just drinking the koolaide, but they have the concept of a "two-way door", which is exactly this -- a decision that can be made, unmade,

As somebody with not-enough self control, I would love this for myself. Self-locks help, but the temptation is always there.

1. If you looked up the average tuition in the US and found the UC system is an outlier, then quoting CSU prices is a red herring — just tell us the average tuition and perhaps the standard deviation. 2. The question that started this threa

by pinkmuffinere 3mo ago
The discussion is about what the average person pays.... surely student body size _is_ the relevant metric? What else would you propose?
75.
by pinkmuffinere 3mo ago
That is very much a real sum of money people pay. The UC system is (I believe) 30k per year tuition if you’re in state. Add rent and you’re probably looking at 45k per year. Out of state is higher. And many systems are more expensive as wel

by pinkmuffinere 3mo ago
85k should definitely cover your expenses. You can rent out a bedroom instead of a house. Buy a cheap car. Eat canned beans. Even in SF, it’s doable on 85k.

This sounds very fun! I would love to hear more stories if you have 'em!

One suggestion — when you have an unsatisfying answer for a customer like “I can’t reproduce that”, or “I won’t build that feature”, the customer may not appreciate the amount of effort you have invested in that decision. A 30 minute phone

Wow, "purchasing a revokable license" is an insane concept. Purchase of something revokable in general feels like... not purchasing? If there was a definite time bound that's one thing, but imagine if I sell a revokable licen
