Earlier quoted context omitted.

There's a reason "downvotes" are called "flags" on HN

No they are not. Downvotes and flags are different things, and have different rules about them. (Flags mean "this breaks the rules/needs moderator attention", downvotes are a lot more general "negative sentiment") EDIT: downvotes probably aren't available to you yet, NilsIRL, I think the karma threshold is higher (500?).

^

To be fair, though, the flag button is hidden. You have to click on the comment time stamp to find it. Some people seem unaware of this. It appears to be a minor source of confusion around here.

If you're a history geek you should definitly check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. This year he only made 2 episodes. 'Supernova in the east' II & III. At a whopping 4 hours each these feel more like an audiobook crammed with history rather than a Podcast. But I can definitly recommend them both & the complete works of him of course.

Matthew Walker, PhD on sleep - part I and II on The Peter Attia Drive podcast. It was really a wake up call for sleep hygeine, and prompted me to get a sleep study, which has changed my life after getting a sleep device.

If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of sleep device did you get and what has it done for you?

You absolutely don't have to be a history geek to appreciate Hardcore History. I'm not, but I absolutely love it. You don't have to be a history geek to be able to love a good war movie, and this is very similar.

Tyler Cowen interviews Sam Altman — https://medium.com/conversations-with-tyler/tyler-cowen-sam-... Naval’s “You Won’t Get Rich Renting Out Your Time” (and the whole series) — https://nav.al/renting-time The Portal: Werner Herzog — https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Eua5iPUKw6Y

> “You Won’t Get Rich Renting Out Your Time” This meme is pretty popular among certain circles, but it bears some examination. For a lot of people, "rich" means "financially independent". And depending on your particular lifestyle choices, you can certainly become financially independent by working for a tech BigCo or as a quant, and that path has enormously lower risk than entrepreneurship.

Working for BigCo definitely throws a lot of things off balance. Making a million dollars over 5 years in tech is very possible. Lots of companies are throwing around that kind of money in RSUs/options that vest over 5 years. It’s quite a bit crazy.
