That's a bit like saying that if you want to sail from Europe to America, you should jump in a boat and let the wind take you there naturally. Don't touch the sails. The entire hyp…

The story is implying that whenever this happens to you -- forgetting why you came into a room -- the truth is that you were attacked by a vampire that made you forget the reason y…

Not quite. Cost savings is only one of the many things that can lure a customer toward a purchase. While Louis Vuitton would love to keep costs low, they wouldn't do it at the expe…

Hey HN! Briefed developer here. Briefed creates summaries for (mostly hard) paywalled content. I built it because it's something that I wanted, but couldn't find (specifically the …

You sell 10-20% 4, 5, or sometimes more times in an effort to increase the size of the pie while your share of the pie decreases.

I don't think I've ever once been "break-checked" in 15 years of driving. Is that something that only happens to people who habitually drive too close to the car in front of them? …

Thanks!

Aside: If you don't mind sharing; which url and reader are you using? Either my reader or url is so slow that I only saw the amended title in my feed. My url tries to grab only the…

Apple's stance of "it never leaves your device" seems to be working so far.

Looks like Gen Z is outpacing the previous two generations in home ownership. So this is likely a false prediction.

Sure this works for creative endeavors. Now what would motivate someone to pick fruit in the summer Sun? Or clean toilets in a corporate office? Sure you could say, "there are some…

Profits, not revenue. But the point remains.

Hoping for greater fools in the private market I presume. Sort of like "why buy stock in a public company that never pays dividends?"

As someone who was considering using one of those "banks" in the coming months, this whole ordeal makes me want to stick with Chase, Wells Fargo, etc. Stripe integrations be damned…

Not that I see it either, but if it were that easy to see, we'd be in the upswing. Fortune favors the bold.

It's "MBA circle jerk" to understand that taking out debt at a lower rate than the ROI you use the debt for is advantageous?

Are you asking “how could you not have known this before?”, or “how could you think that this is good advice?” Either way, it seems you’ve taken rather strong offense to such a sma…

The same piece of advice can be life changing, completely irrelevant, or anywhere in between; depending on the life the recipient has lived before receiving it. So it’s natural tha…

My takeaway (not necessarily from the article, but from pondering on it) is that status is a lure. It has a certain gravity, and pulls others toward you who are playing in that sam…

Find a well dressed celebrity your age, and mimic their style.

I wouldn’t call 2.5 years the “outcome”. You have kids with a much deeper horizon in mind.

Also work from home and 100% disagree. Can hardly get anything done with a 4 month old.
