How safe you feel and how safe you are are two different things. San Francisco’s homicide rate, compared to other large American cities, is not high. America is just a batshit violent country.

I feel like the opening anecdote is a swing and a miss. Miss Excel doesn't teach people how to get rich, she teaches people how to use Excel. I can't say whether it's good or bad content but it's not get-rich-quick hustl

I went to a public school where the entire motive energy of the staff was applied to the top quartile. Being in that quartile, it was really great. Every class was leveled and the best teachers taught Honors classes. I cannot describe how r

I’m excited about new treatments for Alzheimer’s even though I don’t need them and don’t expect to. Products can make the world better and anyone can get excited about that.

“ If you know that the school's focus isn't on providing the best education possible to your kids, pull them out of that school immediately” Hard to do when you are poor, as many in SF are. SF seems like a rich city on the outside

What kinds of things are useful to learn in this rote way? Except maybe foreign language vocabulary?

When you sell a power cable for $1000 you only need to sell one to make it worth your while to produce. Many of these products move ~0 units.

Mailing food to your house is just a dumbfuck idea. Meal kits make sense, but through the existing grocery infrastructure.

Some people find public self-promotion 1000x as exhausting as other people. I can imagine that this could have been part of it.

Actually surprised that there is this much of a correlation. Making money and being smart to me have always seemed only lightly related, like height and basketball skill. Many dumber people than me I know making much more than I am, and man

> I’ve seen proposals asking for six figures in dev fees upfront plus upwards of 40% in equity. And I’ve seen founders actually take those deals out of desperation to play the startup game. They often target first time, non-technical fou
