What other business books have you read?

What are you talking about? What "technological innovation" would Adam possibly bring to housing that improves social cohesion and affordability? Like, an app?

Not sure I follow your point. NYC is not affordable. Are you implying the New York real estate market is in a desirable state because people still want to live there despite exorbi…

I'm not advocating for death marches, but a small project being built in a company that has a money machine printing billions of dollars a quarter isn't reflective of most environm…

Cramming people together more tightly does not create more land.

Because you can make more food but god ain't making any more land.

Yeah I think the identification of "gifted" children is pretty imprecise and error prone. Also it's unclear the kids doing well (better than everyone else, I imagine) are the ones …

I don't care if people wanna WFH. Not for me but more power to them. However, I know several people with 2 full time jobs now. I believe this "drop in turnover" is largely because …

I didn't say I have a problem with it existing personally, but rather that the statement isn't true. It's not personal. All the things you're asserting are also not true, you're ju…

The problem is moer that we can't do anything about it. It's not enough.

At this point, unfortunately, "take responsibility" it just a PR phrase. It doesn't come with any consequences, responsibility, or costs to the individual in the corporate class.

I may be wrong about my assessment of the leadership's competence in this case (I'm not, but I can see how you may not be able to know) but that doesn't mean jealousy is the motive…

But why does capped compensation help? The issue is not that people are highly paid, but that undeserving, corrupt, and even fraudulent people are highly paid. Capped compensation …

Without fail, there is always one comment on HN that is faux-insightful but really just being contrarian towards the general tone of other comments without much substance. You don'…

I worked for a large, late stage, Softbank backed company. They brought in some C-suite execs while I was there. A CTO paid several million annually with large, public company expe…

How else could Coinbase have ended up? It's a company for people to speculate on digital tokens. There's no grand mission to the thing, his rhetoric has always struck me as hollow …
