There are lots of people on HN that share their startups every day. Every so often (but with increasing frequency), you see someone building 12 startups in 12 months. I decided to do 12 scholarships instead. I think that the winners' c

I made this because I kept stumbling upon resources and thought "more people should know this exists". So, I tried to make a central directory of important resources, whether it be places to access important data, job openings and

As someone that used to travel the world and play chess competitively as a kid (fun fact: against Botez), it's been great to see chess embraced as an esport and the definition of a "sport" be rethought entirely. I remember gr

It's amazing how quickly one can go from a "disciplined" investor to making decisions contrary to their principles, regardless of how much you think you believe in them. I too, found myself making emotional investment decis

Nice work here. I personally found around 2-3 years of reading non-fiction extremely helpful in my personal growth. An "inflection point" some would say. But in the last year, I've been struggling to pick up as many books. I

I had a similar experience. Started nomading in 2016. The idea of being able to hop from one place to the next sounded amazing. In many ways it was, but it got old quickly. I think the hedonic treadmill accounts for a lot of this. I became

Stumbled upon this today and although the title is a bit extreme, it resonated with me. I normally don't read very much news, but ever since COVID, I've just been in a sea of information. I need to stay informed for my job, but no

I have to agree with this. People have focused the entire conversation on if/when the virus will slowdown (which is of foremost importance), but there are business fundamentals that have already been stretched. We are already in a re

I think headlines like these are extremely detrimental to the global fight of this virus. Whether or not you're at risk (age, health problems, etc), you are a vehicle for transporting the virus and so while there is no need for "p

Thank you for sharing this. I've also been using a similar frictionless observation and clustering method, but I never had a term to label it with. I'll be reading up more on the Fieldstone method.

I think this is a great point. When I was growing up, I really struggled with writing and in hindsight, it was because I had no freedom with it. I was writing about topics that I didn't care about and trying to write in a way that I th

I think that I would really enjoy attending one of these. How have you gone about finding them? Is there a good online directory of them in different locations?

Growing up, writing was often my least favourite thing to do. It still doesn't come "naturally" to me, but this year I starting using a process that makes it easier for me to "show up". I've basically tried to
