How is autonomous driving an increasingly scarce resource? The tech industry, with zero marginal cost, took to the subscription model with great success. Hugely profitable. Now every business looks to work in subscriptions. I think what we

One aspect I didn’t see mentioned was that a lawn can be practical for a family. As kids we used to run around and play games, the dog liked to run a lot etc. and it’s easiest on a flat short and even surface. Plus you don’t have to worry

Great article. One point it kind of touches on but misses is the higher risk of “growing pains” / incompetence in startup land. Leadership, processes (lack there of) etc can all be lacking / poor. Anything from poor strategic jud

Agree, but in my experience medicine simply kept me from going too low. Some kind of therapy may also be needed, and a focus / prioritization on things that make you happy.

My senior college project was to reduce surgeon error in an Opthamalogy department, and surgeons were definitely cagey about talking about errors. It happened to other surgeons but not them (but it did). They’re so scared of malpractice sui

Authors can hum and haw over estimates all day, but at the end of the day if we don’t have required reporting we will never know. That would be a good first step.

I don’t think it’s fair to fully blame these businesses. If they pay their workers a “living wage”, whatever that is, then they need to raise prices just to remain profitable. Customers see the price increase and go to the next restaurant

Yea I almost spent a bunch of time but after a few screens I thought about saving. I noticed “unsaved” and clicked in. Alas, a premium feature! Felt sad there’s not at least a freemium version you can save, and clicked out. What’s the poin

She’s not saying she doesn’t have responsibility here, she’s saying women in general are less likely to do what you advise - it’s a systematic bias difference in the sexes and / or being raised in our culture. Yes, we could, as you adv

I can relate a bit. I also wrote a book that quickly faded into obscurity. The biggest learning I had was I had no audience. I needed to build that first with blog posts or what not, THEN write the book. I’m surprised that’s not covered he

this is cool. i would actually like to see just the news like this, vs searching for a topic. rather than going to a particular outlet for my news, aggregate a center-ist list of news articles, so I can visit that instead of various news o

This is fine and dandy in a 10 year bull market, but I don't think this is the solution for most folks. When the market turns south, money will fly to safety, and then slowly expand over the following years. It's not going to be

This story is very plausible. Just look at the Shipyard condos in San Francisco. They had a cleanup, and apparently some parts of cleanup were fraudulent. So residents are suing. https://www.cpmlegal.com/news-Hunters-Point

I’m not sure I really follow - what’s an example of a project you solved successfully before in “hacky” way? When you get knocked off your horse you either give up or stand up. Maybe you are feeling it really hurt. But you’ve invested a l

Here’s some to kickstart things. Genuinely curious 1) did you grow up in the church you currently belong to or did you join later? If the former, did you ever explore other ones? Why/why not? 2) there can be doubt about what the Bible

I’m not sure this guy even read the book or blog. The conversations weren’t simply “Bonnie come here...i wish I was more true to myself...”. They told stories of their regrets. As they were preparing to meet their end, I imagine one way t

This seems like an insane concept to me. You’re paying for an “original”, in a medium where copying is free. But hey jump on the gravy train while you can. Maybe you can sell the NFT for the color orange for $1M.

“Evasive bullshitting” - that’s a new term for me. I definitely have done that. It’s where the truth hurts, but you don’t want to “lie” so you base something in truth. But it’s still lying, just makes you feel better because if called on

Curious why does square want a stake in the ecosystem of music artists? Even eventbrite didn’t need square readers, people mostly buy their tickets in advance. Maybe it’s for event organizers to upsell at the event to attendees? Maybe this

I used to work on a tax product. I 100% agree with the premise: to unseat TT, you need a auto-assembler of tax, like other countries have. I’m not sure why the author didn’t delve into it, but essentially if you have payroll integrated, yo
