shrug I meet that checklist, but of course I'd only be interested in a non-technical cofounder who passed a similarly comprehensive checklist (e.g. proven career in sales, major connections with potential clients, strong understandin

For me it's interesting -- I'm somebody who has in the past made the niceties when somebody reached about but ultimately not reciprocated much. And it wasn't because I didn't care, it was because never in my life had som

I'm glad to have read it here, it's newsworthy to me, but I don't think the discussion would be worthy. Maybe it'd be nice to have those two be disconnected.

Philosophy mumbo-jumbo. Consciousness is not a scientifically meaningful term if it is not defined in a falsifiable way.

You say that, but if you're in a 10-day survival situation you'd happily have olive oil by day 3. Maybe if you're planning for 3+ months off the grid it becomes a bad idea, but I don't think there are many scenarios wher

I dunno this seems stupid to me. So 10 days worth of emergency food at $8 per meal? Like olive oil is safe to eat for years, costs $5 / meal if it's all you eat and you get the fancy kind, and if the world doesn't end you can

It's really scary how a tiny amount of a mineral can permanently damage the human mind. I have to admit there's a part of me that almost wants to be skeptical, that mg of a rock could overcome the wonderous self-aware human mind.

This actually, according to hard economics, is potentially an optimal solution. Fossil fuels provide a great benefit to one party but produce negative externalities to other parties (people in hurricane zones, people born into hot regions,

Yeah it's an interesting question. Of course these days since it's public domain you could have chat GPT give you every sentence with a modern translation alongside. It's sometimes hard to tell when people advocate for someth

I agree with the first paragraph, but I think your math is wrong. If you invested in Nvidia in 2006 it'd be up 46% a year every year on that investment.

My personal wish is a compromise -- there should be a universal button that we designate as the "SHOW ME WHAT I CAN DO" button. It would show scrollbars, enumerate every shortcut, hilight everything clickable, indicate everything

You're welcome to flag, but it looks like maybe you're the minority opinion on this. Looks like more people prefer a TL;DR than are upset by it.

To be fair, the article is only promising diagnosis, which doesn't care about the direction of causality.

I mean good for them. I guess before I'd make a profile (either for my employer or myself) I'd want some basic stats: - How many fully remote jobs paying over $200k base do you have in your pipeline? Basically I have no interest i

I'm not sure I believed in sugar as an addiction at first. Then I tried this keto diet because I had seen my friend try it and he lost a lot of weight. And then I had this phenomenon that was so strong that I still remember it years

We can, but it's going to be technical. The layman's definition is -- "things we eat that bear little resemblance to the food we have evolved on" but wikipedia says that Nova defines it as: Industrially manufactured food

I guess this is why most places change prices more gradually. If they made it 1.10 for 3 months then 1.20 for 3 months etc I bet people would have dealt (assuming it's still the cheapest coffee around).

I think this is conflating two things: Proof of exertion (work) and proof of impact. An engineer making many commits is just proof of exertion. An engineer closing many tickets is proof of impact. A manager can also do a lot of exertion wit
