It doesn't intend to provide such guidelines nor give out a license to cooperate with anyone.

I think this comment[1] from the post's author does a good job of answering this: > I would word the intended message as "whether or not someone shares our values is not directly r…

Hm. I'm interested in hearing more about the specific scenarios where this sort of tool is useful. I skimmed through the HN comments and see that it can be used for adding diagrams…

That's a really cool app. What JavaScript framework did you use?

I strongly disagree. Relative to other books, maybe it is on the expensive side. But relative to the value you get from it, I think it is incredibly low. One way to think about it …

I have linked to this so many times over the years. Very cool to see it on the front page.

Interesting. Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble understanding though. The furthest I got with math is calculus. I'd love to hear a more ELI5 description of w…

That makes sense to me that in these two particular situations they have leverage. But what if they don't have enough board seats and you also aren't looking to raise a subsequent …

I see a lot of startup advice combing from founders who've walked the walk, accelerators like YCombinator, and platforms like Indie Hackers. However, I also know that there are aca…

I've never understood why React components are considered to be pure. The output is not just a function of the props, it's also a function of the state (as in `useState`) and conte…

This strikes me as overly cynical. A pendulum swung too far. Yes, someone who takes "we don't want to change a thing" at face value is probably overconfident. OTOH, someone who say…

This advice boils down to "be the best of the best" because you'd only go out of your way for someone if they're that good. I don't think people who haven't reached that bar are ne…

I disagree. The question at hand is how we should update our beliefs in response to the evidence of Zuck making the statement. Given the priors of P(M|R) and P(M|~R), it tells us t…

Yes, thank you! I appreciate that. I should have elaborated in my OP. https://arbital.com/p/bayes_rule/ has some great follow up info.

I think a Bayesian perspective is helpful here. 1) How likely is it that Zuck makes that statement if he feels like he is responsible? 2) How likely is it if he doesn't feel respon…

The idea here reminds me of one of my favorite blogs posts ever: https://justinjackson.ca/words.html
