Thank you for writing this! I've been thinking about this a lot after becoming a dad (3yo + a 2nd baby in about one week or so). Ambition may or may not be the right word to use, as others have commented. One thing I have reflected on

So many seem to have made a similar move. But the one thing holding me back: starting with a new email address. My email address is not just for email. It's so firmly embedded in my digital life, it's hard to think how to remove i

This is a problem specific to the US. The price of your health insurance is very far from the actual cost of it to providers.

The UK has 3 of the top 10 universities in the world: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankin... It's a talent pool that many big employers want to tap into across a range of skills and industries.

Can you walk me through this argument for a customer service agent? The jobs where the nuance and variety isn’t there and don’t involve physical interaction are completely different to flipping burgers

Did you read the entire article? That's exactly the point it's making, but you decided to pick on the word "timetable"

I've seen this done multiple times too. It works until the human forgets about it, or knowledge is lost through collective organisational forgetfulness or churn. And the outages still happen because the lookup fails at some point.

GBP and EUR volumes are pretty similar (just north of 500K atm). I find this interesting. How can one country equal sales of the whole Eurozone? Is that more showing of commerce activity or the popularity of Black Friday in those countries?

My parents had one. My dad’s first car and I think the first one I drove too. I have a photo in front of it as a baby. It lasted until I was 16 to drive it, so draw your own conclusions. In the 80s Bulgaria, you had to wait 5-10 years to bu

Understanding everything before you get into it is overrated. Belief is a necessary requirement to move the world forward. And that in itself requires some naivety. Otherwise those people who can actually see it through wouldn't even s

People have already pointed out that there's no direct correlation between "safe" and "open-source" in the other comments. I agree. But one other reason I think this is flawed is that it assumes innovation in those

Honest question - monitoring air quality accurately is great, but monitoring doesn't solve problems. Once you know it's bad, what do you do? I've been wondering what's the point of monitoring something if you can't

If you look at this moment 10 years from now, you'd be surprised how early it is for you. Eric Yuan founded Zoom at the age of 41. David Baszucki was 41 years old when he created Roblox with cofounder Erik Cassel, who was 36 at the tim

Thanks for sharing this! It's quite the motivational kick for me and more people need to see it.

I still use a 2012 air. It has been demoted in the food chain (so no longer main laptop), but it’s mind blowing how well it still works for basic browsing. Maybe time I replace with a 14” MBP. If that one lasts another 11 years I’m happy.

Well... I agree with the spirit of the effort, but not the letter of it. >>> From spring 2026, the obligation will extend to laptops So this would force Apple to replace MagSafe with USB-C? How is that not killing innovation? Stand

If you're joking: Haha If you're serious and this is the conclusion you reached from Celsius going bankrupt: good luck!

AFAIK, none of this is true. Banks are required by law to provide open APIs with solid authentication mechanisms, apps usually access them via aggregators and never request your banking credentials.

I understand, but that's still somewhat manual (compared to an API and a client pulling data from it without user involvement)

This comes up on the homepage consistently about every 6 months or so. I am not sure why. Every time it does, it's obvious it has devoted fans and bitter enemies. The biggest problem with it as far as I can tell is the requirement for

I also have that MacBook Air, fully functional including battery. It has only been used occasionally and lasts for a couple of hours, but nothing has been replaced and it’s still my casual personal laptop (I use another machine for work). I

The whole economy is intertwined. This is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but if you can park risk-free capital somewhere which generates high interest, the opportunity costs of investing in tech become higher, so VCs stop investing

This is genius. Attention to detail and quality of the writing and delivery is amazing. The fact that the watch in the first animation also shows accurate time reminds me of the 9:41 in each iPhone screenshot when Steve Jobs was doing the A

Many conflicting viewpoints here. Sure, there's been less of a push from Russia than everyone expected, but it's not like Ukraine controls the sky either. Are Ukranians really still flying? If that was the case, the mentioned 40-m

(I worked at Telerik until 2014). They were acquired by Progress software later that year for $262m, so no longer independent nor a unicorn. Still one of the biggest successes. The Payhawk founders are ex-Telerik and Telerik has made a majo

I'm so happy to read this (a proud Bulgarian). The founders are amazing! We need more examples like these in Eastern Europe that can promote and create an environment for entrepreneurs.

You should really read the article. Ben is arguing that 53 foot containers exist, but not for ocean shipping, only land. The link you've posted says the same. "The USA and Canada, however, have been using 53ft long containers for

It wouldn't make a difference in the comparison against M1 Max, but the benchmark was also done on Windows 11, which introduced bugs for AMD scheduling. Fixed now, but maybe the AMD results have been skewed because of this. Overall, th

100% this. Collecting and validating data should be so easy that you don't have to think about it. Otherwise I find I can't stick to any solution/tool for too long. If discipline is required, then it's too complicated. T
