A cofounder with me on another project was involved in Boston Chicken in its early stages. Her sister living in NY at the time told her the business was a dumb idea because everyone could already get fresh cooked chicken whenever they want

A wealth of experiences can be a source of wisdom, and a good basis for decision making. Instead of rejecting that advantage in all situations, I think people are exploring ideas about how to learn when prior assumptions should have less be

There may be extremes, but if you generalize that example it's exhausting. Making a bad decision in one area does not mean that Jack's stupider than Steve and won't know exactly what he's trying to do. Furthermore, is St

The philosophy seems to be reversed with the ISO 216 paper size standards like A4. Anyway, the main advantage of metric seems to be its universality between different markets, rather than the somewhat silly idea of ideal relationships such

How about the employees at all of the subcontractors each of the incumbent manufacturers uses for completed components? Number of employees per car output is one metric meant to be a proxy for something else. Use it in a TED Talk or a newsp

Interesting. I find the same thing with music itself. I often hate the albums I end up liking the most the first few times I listen to them. Possibly it's because those artists I make the effort to listen to when I don't like thei

Ha, I wonder what the students in that class thought when the instructors were "too dumb" to teach the consensus understanding in corporate finance. That said, on Hacker News, subjects like company valuations seem to be discussed

I feel like this shouldn't be a dumb question, but here it goes: So, how come people are purchasing equity without paying any attention to debt? I understand how different classes of shares may be equivalent in scenarios where a compan

I imagine yours is not an uncommon belief, that the main problem is that young black men are insufficiently compliant. However, I find it almost unfathomable that 'once you cut through everything else' that that is the root of the

You're right, and I didn't mean to make the driver sound complicit. From the post: > “So, that guy literally uses this as a dating app,” our driver explained. He clearly could not wait to spill the beans. “That girl you saw bef

It's pretty difficult to sail upwind by heading directly into the wind. So, don't point into the wind if you want to get further upwind. I don't have an opinion on the actual topic, but whether someone's goal is others&#

I really prefer integrated graphics if they're passable, because graphics card problems are a large part of the discussions in support problems. An even older Mac Pro I had, at age three, began taking a hairdryer on the graphics card t
