Yeah, this is par for the course with VC. You should never believe your VC (even post funding) is your friend. They can be a great business partner and resource but they're never y…

Yeah, it's definitely a head-scratcher. I wonder how often unapproved people make it in. Seems like a major security risk to have someone unapproved in the room with that many high…

Just fyi - That reporter wasn't on the approved list and was removed once white house staff became aware of their presence.

I think 90% of my HS psych class didn't replicate

We're seeing a flood of fake AI generated job applications basically DDOSing our hiring funnel. Not sure how widespread it is but it has become enormously frustrating to sift the c…

Yeah, someone like that would be perfect. I personally am self taught and didn't finish my CS degree and every few years I look around for an option like this. I'm an experienced s…

I've heard it put this way: Why would Stanford reject 95% of the people who want to pay them full tuition for the education? I think Peter Thiel's answer is correct - The value of …

Whenever there's information asymmetry that financially benefits one party you have to be cautious. It's been shocking how many times people I know have sought second opinions on r…

Thinking Fast and Slow was blowing my mind until I started running into more and more studies that I knew didn't replicate. It took on a Freakonomics/Gladwell vibe after that

Virtually every study I read about in AP Psych in HS failed to replicate - including this one. That whole class in hindsight was at best a waste of time and at worst provided bad i…

According to NASA: If the debris is 800k can take centuries and geostationary objects on the high end (~36000km) can take thousands of years. Most of the debris is in LEO so it cou…

This isn't just about extending how long you live but also the reduction of disease. That's something that seems highly promising about some of these treatments

I wonder if the photosynthesis from all of the plants would make the air feel fresher

We also have a part-time program that's for people who need to keep their 9-5 job while going to school.

I like to think that a strong military creates security which allows innovation to increase. The US is able to produce and innovate at such a high level because we're kept stable b…

This was represented in the movie American Sniper. Chris Kyle was providing support for those building the walls. Not sure if it was in Sadr City

Yeah, it's a similar idea with a few differences. Lambda School is six months long, online, and teaches CS fundamentals (computer architecture, operating systems, C++) in addition …

Well, self-paced options typically have very low graduation rates. It's hard to compare a self-paced online course to something that's live, full-time and >40 hours a week with ins…

Yeah, it was really hard on our relationship. I work from home now though so that has helped heal any damage that was done.
