You need to be trained to use a parachute. You also can’t jump out at 35000ft doing nearly the speed of sound and expect to have a good time.

I'm having a hard time imagining how the bottom of his feet were pressed against his chest?! Were his knees bent the wrong way?

Congratulations. I've been through the DD process and it is a seemingly infinite loop of Q & A that is so exhausting it's almost difficult to celebrate the funds finally hitting! Glad you made time for plenty of desserts. All

This is timely. My wife called me out for being a bit snappy this morning. She was right, I held my hands up and apologised. We then had a conversation about how I'm hardwired from my childhood to look for danger. This is one of the pr

I was mostly being provocative. Reality is that OP seems to be quite narrow minded and has made some enormous assumptions about people who smoke cannabis. In very general terms, the world would be infinitely better off if people did not cas

As a bootstrapped founder I am biased but given everything I have seen and heard in the last couple of decades I think the tone has shifted from success at any cost to creating sustainable/profitable businesses. It also helps that in m

Correct, and to add - It is infinitely harder to force yourself through the start-up meat grinder if you know that if that start-up fails it does not materially impact you financially.

This will potentially change as you get older. I’m in my very early 40s and what you say for my 30s was also true but not any more. Most of my friends at the same age as me report the same. Best to dodge alcohol altogether where you can.

I recently hired a person who was on the moderation team at TikTok. I won’t go in to detail but they suffered at the hands of a barbaric company which does not care about its staff or its users. People on the moderation team are SLA’d to de

Yep, I'm a pilot and have been working on getting my instrument rating out of London Southend airport in the UK. I purchased the London Southend airport upgrade to make the airport more realistic. I have the exact same Cessna 172 that

Thanks for taking my suggestions onboard. I was trying to be positive. I do agree with your premise that obtaining customer feedback is hard. That's why you have to be relentless about it.

People are busy. They have a million things vying for their attention. If you want feedback that badly, you need to ask them one at a time for feedback. Go to them, go network with them, have coffee with them, call them, email them directly

Will be interesting to see the mechanics of this play out. Wonder if the profitable offices will be split out and kept by the new owners of WeWork?

I'd love to see the statistics on the daily number of Google searches since OpenAI (ChatGPT in particular) came to the fore this year. Anecdotally, I now use ChatGPT for at least 25-50% of the queries that I previously would have had n

Hey thanks for this info, all of which I'm sure is super insightful for people who understand this level of detail. What would you say the average person in the street should eat in terms of supplements, vitamins and food in general to
