Non-hardware person here. How does the D1 compare to Cerebras WSE-2 wafer chip with 2.6 trillion transistors? The WSE2 is much larger obviously, but I would also think it can resul…

I call it "disruption management". A strong assistant knows your priorities, often times better than you when you're being bombarded. They help manage the firehose of requests, log…

I appreciate what Tim has done and continues to accomplish to raise the profile and acceptance of startups as a viable career choice in Japan. I've first-hand experience with the m…

I've worked on "Bring Your Own Device" concepts together with Honda.[1] There are plenty of wins for consumers in this type of setup. Automakers have taken notice that people are u…

A friend of mine is the head painter at Chilton San Carlos. He said the volume there currently is absolutely insane as the Model 3 has ramped. They are swimming in wrecked or poorl…

I spent my past life at a fund of funds and partially agree. In general though, hedge funds are more likely to be up to some strange or "non-traditional" activities. At times, our …

Where can I find information about the potential requirement for evacuation within a 150+ mile radius? I didn't downvote, just interested in learning more.

What is your criteria for size of fish? Enron's market cap was $60 Billion.

I see your point. The admonishment to Sahil at the end to "stop using" the term "lifestyle business" does seem to miss Sahil's self-awareness of the internal conflict between knowi…

Agree the essay was a great read. I didn't see anything to suggest the OP missed that fact so much as had a reaction to a specific part of the essay and wished to discuss it. Being…

It's not just due to the olympics. There have been calls to move the fish market out of Tsukiji[1] for close to a decade at least. Advocates for the move have concerns about the ag…

Thanks, the overall explanation makes sense now. > The technology 23andMe uses is wrong about 1/10,000 times Is 23andMe's tech considered state-of-the-art? I'm assuming there are w…

Thanks, this is fascinating. How is error rate being defined in this case? I took your explanation to mean: Cancer is common, so the genetic blueprint for Cancer risk factors shoul…

Can you clarify a bit? It sounds like his doctor is quoting this study, which does indeed suggest a 40% false positive rate: https://www.nature.com/articles/gim201838

Those 2 tracks are typically disentangled. I encourage you to check out MBA curriculum. Like most degree programs, there's a core set of business classes and a variety of electives…

As a counterpoint, Japanese people generally eat almost the inverse of the keto diet (high-carb, low-fat[1]) and have the longest life expectancy on the planet. It's just not as si…

Tough problem to solve upstream, particularly in a "first-to-publish" news environment. Better fact-checking tools in the hands of the publisher is critical here. It's ultimately o…

> I don't care about marketing and branding, and focus only on the product itself. That's where I find your framework breaks down. You can't ignore marketing and branding. Apple, T…

How do you determine real value and how is your determination of real value the correct one? Particularly in the context of the article, where the author is advocating for startups…

"Pay attention to price early" rings true. Everything else in the article seemed very anecdotal or cherry-picked. This is what makes case studies about product success so difficult…

Agreed. "Compensation-driven thinking" may not be the best choice of words. Money is always a touchy subject. I read parent's comment to be more about highlighting the expectations…

This isn't a fair assessment. Startups can't pay BigCo wages because they don't have the money to. They have to leverage other, harder-to-value benefits which BigCo generally can't…

Not much content here, just an anecdote. "Don't over-parent" In particular, there wasn't any evidence supporting the implications by the title that Lawnmower Parents are a new, ris…

I think we're talking past each other a bit. I responded to someone drawing similarities between Cambridge Analytica and Elon Musk's joint toke, claiming both were examples of "stu…
