Someone needs to explain to me why our tech companies are so tied to interest rates. Are VCs borrowing with home mortgage equity??

The issue is that when tech companies look reasonable, everyone and their mother buys in until they look unreasonable. There is nothing else to believe in. We have one growth industry in this world and it’s tech. It’s not a bubble, it’s the

No no no, don’t say that. Your water, roads, sewage, and electricity have not been universally solved. It has nothing to do with better opportunities. It’s a shithole you guys are not committing to fixing.

Better to yell when the car diverts west when it really needs to turn south immediately to get to the destination. Otherwise you end up all the way west and that’s the biggest waste of time of all. This is where being friendly is not optima

How do you differentiate what you are saying versus what people have always said about reading comic books all day, or playing video games all day, watching tv, listening to certain music, spending all your time on the internet, etc? Life i

I think it’s important to point out that this is what the Fed has been waiting for since 2008. We needed inflation. Now this debt gets washed away. Merry Christmas y’all, not only did we bail Wallstreet out in 2008, we’re now bailing out

That’s one way to look at it. The other way is to determine confidence. Either way, these are character traits and filtering for one or the other is unfortunate. Teams should mimic villages, everyone is there. Everyone. The shy, the arrogan

Fair enough. I’m hoping one day they just make some simple mo cap devices that let you control an in-game model and one person just uses a in-game camera like a FPS. Many of these game engines look good enough if you can just get a few peop

It was believed Square’s choice to put Final Fantasy on PlayStation killed the Sega Saturn, and dented N64 adoption. But this is console war mythos, not sure if anyone really dug into it. The power of Square once upon a time may have been t

the lower layers are absolutely necessary for the next layer up. So to counter the idea, all you really need to do is find examples of self esteem and self actualization before achieving the physical needs.

I think they might have people that actually care about the vision (no pun intended) of what that telescope means. That kind of alignment isn’t always possible on many endeavors. We’re basically making something to look at God.

Great point. The crux of the pure physical addiction, separate from the psychological groundwork that leads you to it, is that you just need more and more of that stuff. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than h

Housing legislation is something that few politicians have been talking about in the last decade. We have spent a lot more time talking about healthcare, and student debt, but not the number one financial factor which is housing. You really

What is everyone’s age in this thread? It sounds like you are all kids. A site like CNN+ is using a third party vendor for their video streaming and everything else. The people you are reaching out to are the Rajeshs and Srinis of the world

Twitter is mostly an infrastructure operation imho, someone school me. It’s a scale-based problem space, how do you get all these tweets out in real time at minimum, and at best, how do you do some level of topic bucketing on top of it.

Or more realistically, the first thing he’ll do is re-platform all those that got de-platformed. Trump 2024, here we go.

The monthly payment of 28%-38% of gross monthly pay is harder to get to with the rising interest rate and rising home prices. You’d be looking at over 50% of your net take home pay per month (yes, over half your months paycheck, especially

Non-remote work is the same as hearing a low ball offer in negotiations. I’ll keep looking unless I’m desperate. And if I am desperate, I’ll leave as soon as I’m not, as is with tradition.
