The book is very famous! I would guess more people have heard of it than read that specific BAM post.

What's the difference between a polisher and a tumbler?

Agreed. Even the title set of immediate ChatGPT alarm bells. Please write in your own voice!

There are many upvotes so clearly people like the guide. Congrats on documenting something useful! Is anyone else immediately turned off by articles like this written in "ChatGPT v…

IDk, I feel like they're doing the thing where you list people they don't like, then list other worse people and kind of imply the first set are related / just as bad as the second…

This is speculation, but I suspect he may have gotten a settlement from Google. Any settlement would likely include a gag-order. It would explain the early retirement + lack of wor…

No, and you can see my post history to verify this.

I think that's uncharitable. He was a regular SWE who got cancelled. Granted I have not followed him closely but I haven't seen him claim to be a genius or special. Sure he went to…

FTX was insanely profitable (100s of millions in revenue, low expenses). If SBF hadn't have taken customer money they'd still be around. Even now the CEO overseeing bankruptcy has …

I just played this for the first time earlier this week! For anyone who lives in NYC, they have one at the Barcade on 24th st and 7th ave.

Culver's is an example of doing the same thing for fast food. Large menu, breaks all the traditional fast-food rules. But somehow works and people love it.

Yeah, I was confused because I felt like the article didnt do a good job of clearly stating Hilton's beliefs - it was meandering around. Felt off. Then I saw the Cade Metz byline a…
