We were taught the same (Australian) - though it always felt slightly off as March often has major heatwaves, and December can be quite spring-like, often cool and wet. Adelaide’s …

Okay great point I hadn’t considered - makes the parent comment more sensible. Thanks!

I think this might be a US vs international thing then on the value of life insurance (typical payouts here are around $100k, 10% or more are rejected, and that policy would be aro…

Sorry what’s the inheritance logic here? Are you talking about life insurance or something? Otherwise, and again presuming the cure doesn’t work which seems absent from your assess…

I'm not in the startup scene or the US but I've come to understand this as 6 days a week of working 9am-9pm - typical hustle virtue-signalling nonsense and/or the latest move to ex…

Agreed this was well expressed, and I value this sort of reflection and cultural introspection, even if I lightly disagree with elements of the author's piece (that perhaps I'm wro…

Agree with you, though potentially easily remediated if that third party provisioned for the “+” convention.

Accepting a little exaggeration (“works” vs “works well”), for a segment, almost certainly. Particularly when they know that people like the commenter above are making sure it ulti…

A superb question that hits at the heart of the trail above.

I think we’re using different terms for value but I agree with your argument about comparative advantage and non zero sum trade, while also noting the other comments here that pric…

> The price of something and the value of something were never expected to be the same While I agree with you (quite firmly: it’s a great starting point to put on the table to chal…

Personally it was why I noticed the interactivity of the post, and I thought it was really cool.

Reminds me of a problem I ran into once where someone had wanted unique but short codes as identifiers for relatively small counts, and picked a substring of a UUID: http://mattmit…

What would the world be like if an identity-associated (and seemingly ego-threatening to others) label was not a requirement to get access to a consumable good that made a material…

If I were to say to you for the sake of argument that contextual clinical interpretation was no longer required, let’s say that we had a perfect test some other way, does part of y…

In my highest ego moments I've probably regarded my strength in the space you articulately describe - that sort of balanced points, connector, abstractor, quick learner, cross-doma…

Yeah I can picture it. The non-rhotic R on its own doesn’t narrow it further, but there would be distinction within Australia based on the sounds of the “ea” part. Off the cuff I c…

As a rough generality, being good at something, like proper good at it, is incompatible with the basic forces of how modern organisations work. By this I mean the systems of reward…

At face value I was inclined to agree with you (SO2 causing acid rain and being generally impactful to health through cardiovascular and respiratory issues, damaging mammalian DNA,…

Good take and thanks for a link I hadn’t come across in this space

This might seem a little odd, but I’m trying to “find my tribe” of interesting thinkers to bounce around ideas with and your comments on this thread suggest you’d have some great/t…

I consider Venkatesh to be amongst the brightest and insightful thinkers of our times (The Gervais Principle being a particularly brilliant eye opener that I share with everyone wh…

Completely agreeing with the other comments but tangent looking at the reference screenshot, does anyone else remember the emotive excitement of building out a new Windows build ba…

This is a super insightful point that is obvious in retrospect and explains so much.
