Support. The boring part. Having a person that can make reasonable decisions for the customer. Some of this can be automated. We’ve seen the result with the big companies though.

Facebook is the only way that a lot of local organizations advertise their events, so if I'm not on Facebook I don't hear about things. So I'm on Facebook and check it most days. N…

I use chatGPT a lot, professionally(software) and as a personal sounding board for potential career pivots, business and creative ideas, and my personal life.And I keep memory on, …

There was a HN article about the same book about a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40940799 So maybe you saw it then.

I wonder how much of this is also due to either an unwillingness to live with someone or difficulty making friends? I know that where I live the rent on a 1 bedroom apartment would…

Invest in a standard index fund (like S&P500, etc)

It is very convienent. It gets unclear when people try to substitute it 1-1 for he or she in situations when the number of people is unknown. I use they as often as possible, but t…

The A variant of the F35 doesn’t have vertical takeoff.

Unfortunately, many if not most social events are advertised primarily, and sometimes exclusively, on social media. This is at least 95 percent of the reason I am still on Facebook…

Completely hypothetical... two ways this could happen and not be "forced". One, as you said the minority gender could be stronger "on average". Which could happen if the reason why…

I have a nice fenced backyard, so walking/jogging/running laps around the backyard. 250 steps per lap. Bonus is it gets me outside in nature. Lots of trees, birds, squirrels, rabbi…

Not going to defend Carvana... but most people trust used car dealers about as far as they can throw a full size pickup. Most of the problems with Carvana are the same problems you…

Perhaps the self-interest in this case is "managing expectations". If they tell everybody to prepare for a 20 percent drop but the market falls 10 percent, then everybody feels goo…

Not the OP, but oddly enough I ordered this book this morning before I saw this thread. Looking forward to reading it. 20 years ago when I graduated undergrad I had to make a decis…

Should that always be the case, though? We could try to force a position where 2 separate moves checkmate. Then only 1 (presumably the one that results from capturing the highest v…
