The Grand Canyon is so magnificent. I thought it was all marketing until I saw it. Glacier is my favorite. I thought The Grand Tetons were incredible. Yosemite is incredible but def touristy. Yellowstone is probably appropriately rated and

I’ve been listening to “The Smartest Guys In The Room” (the definitive book on Enron and their scandal) and one of the ways Enron continued to grow and grow is by setting up a really complicated system of moving debt onto equities off of th

Fantastic. I’ve sold SaaS for three different companies. B2B accounting, Procurement SaaS, and Senior living SaaS (niche, I know). My only rule: 1. Have a good product.

How long do you have?! A friend of mine pitched me this idea of “onlyfans but for NIL” and I’ve been running with that idea. It’s been an insanely tangled web but there’s some crazy stuff happening and I think it can be a big business.

I think that’s the desired outcome but not the most common path. I love music but I mainly Spotify - concerts are a once a quarter thing, right?

I totally agree. This is a terrible place to research - but I also seek to get the “nerd” perspective bc I’m curious if they’ve hacked it to be better. I did some research at a football game recently. If you’re bored / interested you c

It’s less of a mystery - I agree. Less fan fare. I think that’s also with the news in general right now.

Here’s my current flow: 1. ESPN app - mostly for the headlines across sports 2. Tigernet - clemson specific / mostly football. Like the message boards. 3. Instagram - great place to get lots of good news 4. Maybe a google search - “whe

It’s a race to the bottom until someone has a durable competitive advantage: it’s usually a market based advantage or a technical advantage. The best companies achieve and maintain both.

Haha your name is great. The danger I find in information is a) there’s too much and b) it’s already out of date. Wisdom transcends time but is much harder to come by. “I’m not a pessimist, I’m an optometrist” -Ricky

I too have the same problem. I’ve always wondered “what if I simply just read them and took a note / maybe linked them to a word or Google doc or something?” I had a friend who did a similar activity with books. Read a book, took notes

The “religious leader not existing” argument is slightly comical lol.

Does anyone know of any companies where this strategy has worked? Obvs lesser of the evils but the fear is that, at some point, the family or the fund, gets too far removed from the mission / founder (as is common with many companies)

Is there infinite? Tough for finite things to try and understand much less comprehend such a simple and complex quandary. What happens if there really is infinite no beginning and no end. Or what if there is an Alpha and Omega - such a bea

Slack being down is so detrimental… it’s crazy. I’ve almost forgotten how to send my coworkers email. It blows my mind how much we are so reliant on a few tools to carry out so much work.

This is most excellent - lots of stuff I’ve not heard about nor read. Looking forward to checking these out this year. My personal recommendations are to read “The Innovator’s Dilemma” by the late Clayton Christensen and “Ecclesiastes” (ESV

As religious faith has declined, comment intensity on HN has risen. All joking aside this is a pretty well-known phenomenon that folks like Hegel and Nietzsche have discussed. The Enlightenment has had its tentacles on formalized religion f

You’re looking at this wrong. This is a massive opportunity for someone to do what iTunes did to music and what Spotify did after. It just might end up being Amazon...

I recall hearing about this when it was first published. It fascinates me to no end that the more we learn about our own planet the less it seems we truly understand about the complexity and beauty that we are amongst. “That’s a pair of the

Homelessness does not beget homelessness. It is most important to note that. Our society is so focused at solving the primary symptoms without ever diving deeper into the root cause of things like this (looking at you Sf). To experience hom

Herein lies the issue: the quasi-war. The US must make actions in the future to more accurately describe what a war is. In my mind virtually every “quasi-war” that the United States has waged since WWII has been waged unconstitutionally. We
