Thanks. I do expect people to behave differently when posting something that friends will see -- actually I think I hope so. But also, I also hope that the kind of public post on Quid Sentio will be very different than the kind of post on F

I got tricked into a very dark-patterned coffee subscription company called Amora Coffee. I got one of their coupon with a Hello Fresh box. Which, by association, at the time increased my trust in this Amora Coffee company. And now, after b

I think we are talking about two very different things. I am talking about bus ticket collectors and you are talking about gamers playing pro games giving millions of dollars in prizes. edit: I re-read my previous comment and I am not sure

No it is not. If someone is playing 14 hours of a game that is not even giving a lot of money (not even to any 1%, which is the initial situation mentioned before DOTA was big), then obviously they are not doing that for the money.

> "pursue rationally unjustifiable interests" I disagree of how you define rationality here. If someone feels it serves them fine to play 14 hours of a game, it seems perfectly rational for me. Especially in the case that y

The Econtalk podcast latest episode is about a surgery clinic in Oklahoma that has full price-transparency policy. I am outsider to US healthcare system, but after listening to it, it seems hardly controversial what would be the right thing

Have you heard about Substack? Not big, but YC company, so it's kind of easy to bump around here. They are a platform to host your blog/newsletter and allow very easily to monetize it. You can charge at least $5/month from re

That's her point about diverse teams build better products. Bugs that affect the team building it are much more likely to be found and fixed than bugs that do not affect anyone in the builder's social circle.

Not that relevant, but caught my eye. A 98% or 99% remote company is effectively a 100% company right? 1% or 2% is not enough to be considered a "headquarters" .
