I wasn't sure if my comment was in the spirit of HN given it's overly personal and is now totally irrelevant to the lithub post. But since you asked -- before the PD's conclusion I told myself I would just accept whatever the

I wonder if you can discern what type of problem a person is working on based on their path. For example if you give a person two good solutions to a problem but they can only pick one, would they naturally pace back and forth ?

Somewhat related, about 10 years ago I was in a tragic situation where someone I loved would be murdered but I couldn't speak out because of possible retaliation against my family. I found myself compulsively walking randomly in the ci

A tall bottle on a table is arguably obnoxious and unsightly. I just put mine on the floor if it is in line-of-sight of too many people especially indoors.

Beach city LA, so water quality isn't bad. As for context, he's a pathological right wing troll and we both have ADD and find mild periodic confrontation stimulating. Everyone I know mocks him for being an absurdist, but he has ma

It was kind of a mike drop moment. Honestly, my buddy has associated hard-right and anti-left views as part of his identity. He doesn't wear a seat belt because he doesn't want the gov't telling him what to do. That type of

I got blind sided by an argument when visiting a friend recently because I carry a reusable water bottle with me whenever I leave home for more than a few hours whereas he brings throwaway water bottles. At one point he gestures to my bottl

From a mental health stand point I find this post-vaccine phase worse since there is no clear end. A new culture war among the vaccinated may also be starting. For example, I have family members with children who are highly opinionated abou

IIRC after entering your name, "How old are you ?" was the first question on YC's original application, even before asking what you are working on. It was out in the open back then but perhaps it was removed because it is les

You'll be growing crops year round, indoors. So you could be miserable. Curious if they select for plant strains that give off less pollen.

Or it will just come from outside of Hollywood. La Casa De Papel (aka Money Heist) is so good I am probably going to cancel Netflix since it's taking away from my nightly reading time and affecting the quality of my sleep.

The YC credo is about building something people want and shipping your MVP ASAP. What I see time and time again with teams and people prelaunch is a lack of a catalyst to ship their MVP. I've met many people who have an idea and their

That statement needs tuning then. It's doubtful you have a 529 for your neighbor's college fund or you are bankrupting yourself to pay someone else's medical bills. Did you buy a $2 coffee today ? $2 is what the average Venez

One of the reasons I planed to put most of my money in an expensive home and paying cash is to protect against liability. I had always thought your entire home is protected against lawsuits, but according to the link below it is only betwee

And the elimination/ebay'ing of items that you realize you haven't touched or unpacked since your last move. Arguably untouched junk in American households has better housing than most people in this world.

Too funny, I literally turned the last page of that book last night. It is essentially a meta study on past research regarding the influence of electric potentials and currents on regeneration and healing along with the potential dangers of

Repeating annoying phrases that casually dismiss suffering seem to be human nature. It likely irritated Voltaire so much he wrote the tragic novel Candide in 1759. In that book the phrase is "everything is for the best in this best of

Many people would pass, including me and most of my friends, due to the environmental impact and radiation exposure. It also seems like a dumb way to die if you aren't contributing to a mission in someway. It's cool to die as a re

My understanding was Moore's law implied a form of doubling at at least every 24 months. Otherwise why not just say {qualifier} exponential growth.

I have argued this point with my old married former union-employee relatives that see themselves as "poor". Combined they have a $6000/month pension. When I explain I will need to save $2M+ to achieve that income they suggest

Moore's law happens when the output of the system can be used to improve the system that produced the original output. In other words some recursion is required. It also requires that there is an economic need for more output. So yes i

What a bizarre article. Who cares if the author is now an old annoying egotistical crackpot. Lots of people don't age well but that has nothing to do with their past works. Rich Dad Poor Dad changed many lives, including mine and many

There is a secondary benefit in that it influenced people like me to save, invest, and work very very hard to get that status. I invested in one YC startup after achieving it and that felt like a major personal win. However, the financial g

I think it boils down to bad faith, dishonest, or hypocritical conversations. Why explore that further especially if you previously set boundaries, explained the dishonesty or hypocrisy, and they still bring it up ? [Edited: TMI]

After optimizing my diet, sleep, and exercise, I learned my mood and energy levels were always primarily related to two things: 1) Working hard but nothing to show for it. If I get stuck too long on a problem, I now work on a simpler proble
