My friends and I once argued about the primary reason top schools "produce" overachieving students. She thought that at least a part of it is from better staff and student to teacher ratio, whereas I argued that most of it is a se

I wonder how much of this is a self fulfilling prophecy due to racially weighted admission. i.e Many Asian parents are painfully aware of how much the deck is stacked against their kid, and therefore allocates extra time and resources accor

I’ve always been taught to spend >50% time practice hand separate first, increase tempo one hand at a time, and only combine after much practice, which seems to differ than the post. Does anyone have a view on how soon to jump into two h

You can buy a put option on robinhood to put your bet to the test with limited downside risk.

What interests me most about the FI community on reddit is how they split into two very different subgroups(leanfire and fatfire). Part of it is a difference in frugality, but part of it is is a fundamental difference in modeling risk.

I really like this approach for simplifying Kubernetes. A few projects similar to OAM in that it provides a higher level "Application" CRD: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/carvel-kapp https://githu

Exponential growth is very counter-intuitive. Although it's been around forever the vast majority of users probably came onboard recently.

Give that pg is someone who can walk away from running YCombinator to work on other stuff for fun, he probably doesn't care about maximizing utility or impact at this point.

Speak for yourself. I make my $$$ selling saas tools to people who make tools for people who invest in tools for ad peddlers.

I agree with a few of the points, but it lost me at Tesla. I like my Tesla a lot because it’s a really well designed product, not because of some Elon Musk story.

That has got to be the most frustrating landing page design... waiting 5-10 seconds for the slogan and the call to action to appear...

I really like the system and it seems there's also a temporal order to the learning path: 1) Tutorials <- starting point 2) How To <- intermediate 3) Reference <- comes back to it regularly 4) Discussion <- final step to un

I personally alternate between taking courses and doing projects. Doing all MOOC is bad for some of the reasons the articles covered. But doing all projects is also sub-optimal because sometimes it is hard to know what you don't know.

In other industries for example gaming and desktop tools, people eventually just ship a new version that existing users have to buy again. For continuously deployed web products a repricing is the only way to frame it in customer's min

This looks cool but I'd be in the market for a software solution that gave me "games, races, and programs" with a Concept 2 + iPad. If anyone knows of such a product please let me know.

That sounds interesting. Out of curiosity does AWS have streamlined support for vendor deployments? (I don't work in large organizations so have never seen how non-saas deployments work)

posthog looks like a great product. But it's interesting that a product offering with "open source" and "on your infrastructure" still has "cloud" as the first tab in the pricing. (Not a criticism at all,

That figure includes the gains, and represents approximately how much college will cost in 13 years if trends continue. My point was that $600k for going to college sounds so ridiculous that the trend shouldn't be able to continue.

Recently playing around with a 529 college saving plan calculator, it told me that for a 5 year old aiming to go to a 4 year private school, I need to save up $600k in the next 13 years. I thought the calculator was broken, but it was simpl

I wonder what percentage of kids age 8-12 want to become a professional athlete. I bet it's at least 100-1000x than the amount of job opening at the "can make a full time income" level. In that case it's mostly the paren

I've experienced cheap delivered food done well when in Bejing, and it's definitely a real thing. However if you tag a $10+ service/delivery/tip onto the bill, it kind of negates the "cheap" part of the experie

The value proposition was clear and well written, until I got to this part: "you want to do it without having to standup layers of infrastructure on AWS or be beholden to the legacy players like Heroku or other providers who don’t get
