For a non-Go player, do you think this trend will persist, or is it more of a dead-cat/human bounce?

Silicon Valley bats for 0-to-1 startups. If you swap "Revenue" for "Risk," that is culturally the same. People who don't have a "1" full-risk-on mode by default self-select themselves out of this game. A

Individual games. The ones that specifically come to mind are Lazavik vs. Carlsen, Speed Chess Championship 2025 Semi-Final, Round 3, and Sindarov vs. Carlsen, Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Finals 2025 in South Africa, Round 1 of the Group Sta

It feels like the cohort GM player pool is mentally cooked against Magnus. Youngsters like Lazavik during the Speed Chess Championship or Sindarov in Freestyle were the most recent convincing wins against Magnus, but the historical mental e

+1 here. The last time I checked, they're custom (read: expensive) and require building out your own backend video storage.

Great points. Good founders are on both sides of selling and building. If you don't believe in sellers, you've never worked with good ones.

I was seven years old, and T2 was the first rated R film I saw which gave me horrific apocalyptic nightmares (see: Sarah's dream). Completely worth it.

Everyone's got a number they can't refuse... Defenders will say Bond deserves a modern update beyond the Daniel Craig era. But if I'm reading the tea leaves from Lord of the Rings, I am not bullish on Amazon's MCU-ificat

Contrarianly, startups should have a little maneuverability to be naughty. Any slight edge against incumbents is directionally sound policy, imho.

Having just read Lynch's Catching Big Fish, two quotes stood out to me: "There's safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to

Maggie Smith's character in both Abbey and HP brooked no BS. We're reaching the time now when more of the Harry Potter teachers are leaving this world, I am not looking forward to the students.

"Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill is hard, but they're wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck. That's philosophy. Understanding luck is philosophy, and there are some people

You bring up good points against the physical medium (especially when it comes to note-taking), but I'd respectfully disagree. Books I've read multiple times, the great ones, nothing beats a well-made physical edition. The way lig

When Ridley Scott's Napoleon came out, I picked up Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts. Turns out Napoleon kept a copy of Ossian on him at all times during his war campaigns. Going deeper into the rabbit hole, I bought a copy of Ossian.

Not much has changed in the current live poker meta. Yes, the average player may be better, but if you put in the consistent time to study/solvers/hand reviews, IMHO that puts you in the top 20 percentile. It's getting to the

During the pivot to Caviar (www.trycaviar.com), we were very cash-strapped and had to do most of the deliveries, customer service, and restaurant ops ourselves. We did this growing from 50 orders a month to over 150+ orders a day, non-stop.

Great point, ultimately we're describing two different outcomes on where the current audience are spending their time on vs movies. You posit television series, if I could add to that list, it'd be live streams, YouTube, Discord,

Highly recommend Doyle's "Poker Wisdom of a Champion" for a throwback look at the wild days of poker in the 60's. The story of the tennis match prop bet alone was worth it. Let the dog die!
