Makes sense! We have the same setup. FWIW, it's nice to do the React rendering on the backend because it's a bit easier to pass values to those templates directly (as opposed to using URL params or something). We render the React

I agree largely, I'm just not sure that insufficient effort/persistence so heavily outweighs low quality content as a reason for failure over time. I'd imagine there are actually a large amount of "zombie" YouTubers

It'll depend on what you're building, but there's some value in rendering React on our backend. For example, we render documents (HTML => PDF) and emails with the same React components we use for our frontend to keep styli

Agreed, but I don't think you're necessarily in disagreement with your parent. Some people struggle to understand how to improve on their weaknesses and think they're paying attention to how their content is received, adapt

In this case, I think they're mostly referring to "The Hum"[0] that others have been talking about, since the article is about the source of this noise. When it's lower frequency and not this easy to locate, it would be

This seems more in the realm of poorly managed expectations and less intentional and malicious copying. After reading his original blog post[0] I felt like they were originally interested in acquiring his software, but decided to go in a di

Generally if you take the approach "what might I be doing wrong?" instead of aggressively asserting "I am doing nothing wrong!", you're able to uncover some solution on your side. I rarely ever try to deal with supp

I think this is the interesting question. I'm an extremely deep sleeper and almost nothing wakes me up while I'm sleeping, but I've found that I naturally sleep significantly longer if my bedroom has too much light or there&#

I would imagine the group of people who immediately accepted everything this book claimed as fact and went on to immediately adjust their lifestyles to match may have a strong correlation with the group of people who are more susceptible to

Immensely frustrating how many people are citing his book in a thread about one of your own blog posts, of all places. I was so glad to see your post about it at the time, and this experiment is an interesting follow up. "Why We Sleep&

Well said. I'm a huge fan of Elon and Tesla and am optimistic about their future, but Munger's approach here is incredibly reasonable. I would love to see Tesla succeed, but I also know that I'd hesitate quite a bit to bet bi

Elon plays fast and loose with his opinions in public discourse, but generally when Tesla makes an official move like this it seems to be more thoroughly considered by a larger group of people than just Elon. I have the same gut feeling tha

by rdgthree 6y ago
Your comment and OP's comment are a bit silly given the context. Munger didn't say anything controversial here. He was asked a question about Elon and answered by saying he prefers less risk. He specifically pointed out that Elon

Taking this quote out of context is impressively dishonest. It would be incredibly inaccurate to describe Elon's history of winning big as "occasional", and for that same reason it would be incredibly surprising if Charlie Mu

This was a great follow up. I completely agreed with the first post, and I couldn't help but think those critiquing it didn't quite understand what they were critiquing. It's rare that you're able to actually definitivel

Without staking my flag on either side of this argument, it's a bit silly to say "the only reason this stands out is because it affected so many people" as if that's a reasonable counter-argument. The large amount of peo

Because I think the average four year bachelors degree has regressed to soft sciences taught by lackluster instructors with very little rigor. So no glamorization of blue collar work, it's just that a two year trade school is more tran

I'd say the value of the average four year bachelors degree today is less than the value of the average two year trade school, so the value might not be zero but it might as well be. That being said, I think the assessment problem is r

For me, those side tracks are often closely related to a core goal, but still act as distractions that I have to avoid. For example, my business is in the residential real estate industry. I think a lot about rent prices as a result. I have

Well to be fair to them, I think their benefits card provider is a white labeled product from the neolithic era.[0] Normally I'd say no excuses, but it seems like this was a regulatory necessity if they wanted to provide benefits cards

Are you sure this isn't your employer's mistake? With commuter benefits the employer has to manage everything themselves. If the benefit is a contribution it'll show up on your paystub, but your company needs to either reimbu
