It's like getting a HBS MBA. Sure, once you have it, it's easy social proof. YC gives up equity. If you don't have any prior experience, it's good, but not for experienced enterpri…

Sales cure all.

Spaghetti: wall / money: bonfire; occasionally: winning lotto ticket makes the IRR for the fund/angel. Don't throw out the winning lotto ticket. Oh well. ;-)

Would the mortality rate of prescribing warfarin prophylactically to middle-aged women for 3.5 weeks be less than 4 / million? What's the mortality rate of seasonal flu and MMRV va…

/s woosh. LOL. ;-) It's called tenement housing, in any case. Split the living room in half and rent the large walk-in closet, now a 2 bedroom is magically a 5 bedroom like an airl…

Sorry, but you're spouting nonsense without knowing the facts. In the US alone, there are over 17 million vacant residential properties. Average un-occupancy rates for urban areas …

And iceberg mansions. The neighbors really love those.

Hmm... I should turn my ATX apt into 4 "Parisian" studios then. Such underutilized space considering I have an almost vestigial "dining room" that has been used mostly as a dance f…

Lolwut. Who? Ne'er-do-wells, haters, or rent-seeking bastards? (I'm in a 1400 sq ft / 130 m^2 2/2 apt in ATX.)

Urban sprawl is awful if there's only single-occupant vehicles, bad roads, and no reliable public transport anyone wants to use ... basically, you get Los Angeles. Terrible, crime-…

12 floors is tiny if you're not used to it. There's only ~75 buildings in Paris >6 floors because of the 37m height limit. Cities either have to have faster transportation, build u…

Post, physical NFTs that could keep homeless people from freezing to death.

If you're going to post a low-effort tweet, can you at least use spellcheck first?

Does anyone else have monofixation syndrome (MFS)? Apparently, my left eye doesn't participate in central vision, only peripheral vision.

When I used to moderately binge some moons ago, I could feel my heart rate was all over the place. And the hangovers the next day didn't feel great either. Redbull vodkas should be…

I highly doubt there's any kind of bootcamp for it. I got a paid summer internship doing industrial embedded engineering through my university. There are no shortcuts.

Sadly, it was in a two-party consent state. ): I'm now in a one-party consent state and have a trusty-dusty digital audio recorder.

That maybe so, but those are a lot of different areas to cover. Perhaps specific examples, trends, and/or causes would help support each claim. For example, how is it the governmen…

Unsurprising because FB is all about maximizing profits at society's expense. They'd happily get into human trafficking and child prostitution if they could get away with it. At th…

Next, on Ancient Aliens: pineapples teleported to Byzantium! How did it happen? Are Neptunians responsible? Double facepalm, Picard-style.

Perhaps analogous to BBC and Received Pronunciation (RP). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation

What's interesting is I moved to Austin from CA. I'm used to Texans having accents because my maternal family is from north Texas. I haven't heard one drawl yet. It could be class …

There's an interesting documentary on American accents. Do You Speak American? https://www.pbs.org/speak/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_You_Speak_American%3F

Also: weight, looks, gender, attire, name, skin color, mannerisms, confidence, positivity/enthusiasm/attitude/energy, and age are definitely biases that will get candidates hired o…

There are some interesting iPhones mods where flash can be increased well beyond what was available in a particular model (16 GiB -> 256 GiB). IIRC there's some overseas magic devi…
