Maybe it’s semantics, but generally with fund allocation when you’re deploying more than 1% of your AUM towards a single thesis that’s a significant bet.

Nobody bought a Tesla in the last 5 years because “I want fewer highway fatalities”, they often bought it because they thought the overhyped self driving features would let them chill out on their commute. People want self driving cars so b

The decline in birth rates seems like it has little to do with people being unable to afford children and more with the culture. Richer countries have fewer kids. Richer people have fewer kids.

Who decided that “good art makes you ask questions” or “art is about starting a conversation”? Sounds like an excuse for passing off garbage. “The Course Of Empire” is a beautiful piece of art for many reasons: it’s clearly masterful, it re

Because even customers don’t always know what they want. A lot of customers want peace of mind when they’re buying a product, and you can’t always build up that trust in a single call, so a white lie that gets them as a customers as long as

Once you get accepted they do further diligence (that can take several weeks if you’re missing things or have been sloppy) to get it all together before they give you the money and let you do demo day.

Don’t we all known someone who is very widely read, but makes the occasional error or mistake? Gets confused about something, or is asked about a discipline they don’t understand or haven’t researched very deeply? Maybe they misremember a d

I think things like this have been tried (like shipping container homes). Problem isn’t lack of capital for a solution like this, it’s lack of demand and zoning issues. Houses made out of dirt or cargo containers don’t appreciate all that w

This list is biased in a few ways, so it’s harder to calm these “major problems” when some of them are just fear mongered out of proportion. To round it out though, here’s another list: Uplifting the many men falling out of society Protecti

What is incredibly well established is that g is incredibly predictive for many life outcomes from income to educational attainment to drug addiction. This is what IQ test measures. The only thing disputed is whether g is the same thing as

Is this real? That’s incredible if so.

Nah it’s definitely gotten worse in my experience. I played with an early access version late last year/early this year and there’s been a strong correlation between how hard they restrict it and how good it is. Queries it used to blow

The best individual action you can do is agitate for political and corporate change. Almost all the blame is on corporations and government bodies. The emissions of individuals pales in comparison.

Yes, inflation in Europe is the very same phenomenon with their counterpart actors.

You could say the same about Elon Musk or Nokola Tesla or many others. Just sounds like pure survivorship bias to me. "This crazy innovator died so clearly future innovators should listen to the experts!".

Of course inflation is "just" businesses increasing their prices, how else would prices increase - they are decided by humans after all. It's STILL the fault of loose monetary policy. Do you understand that? Many people menti

It isn't all or nothing. Imagine the government we could have if we all paid 90% in taxes - except I don't want that. I don't even want the kind of government that needs a budget of 40% of my income. If you live in a rural ar

It’s never enough. This guy is throwing millions towards others and helping their lives, but because he’s not suffering enough to do it, or doing it out of your defined pure intentions, it’s hardly good at all? It’s clear you care more abou

Just anecdotal but none of their recent work is really that inspiring or extraordinary, especially compared to alternatives. It's hard to articulate it but its like they've lost their touch and are now pumping out corporate-approv

It’s probably about as dangerous to minors as sitting the minor in a room while 2 consenting adults have sex, or taking that minor to a strip club. Does the screen itself prevent trauma? Would you be ok with having your child exposed to eit

Really? Prohibition of fentanyl is most costly than the drug itself? Not to be hyperbolic, but that suggests what you’re saying isn’t true and it’s really a matter of degree. Should marijuana be encouraged for use in kindergartens? Of cours

What the libertarian types don’t seem to get is that it isn’t just them dealing with the consequences. It turns out the aggregate mental health of the society you live in DOES affect you, even if you don’t partake personal. Nobody chose to

Not even necessarily ego or whatever. Some people just like trucks, and a car's "reputation" is part of the purchase decision for many buyers. It's why men don't buy Beetles or Priuses as often as women and women do

This is what a pure meritocracy looks like. There's no more tricks, there's no more hacks, it's just a tight few metrics that you're either really really good at, or you aren't. It's the same with the rest of t

It's really hard to evaluate everything by yourself. If you wanted to listen to some good music, you'd find something you like much faster by scrolling through the top 1000 most listened songs than a random shuffle of the maybe bi

It’s a default everywhere. Usually I’ll go to chatgpt as a 2nd option when google sucks at answering something. Chatgpt is still pretty unreliable for specifics (especially things that involve numbers like dates or statistics).

Have you ever even jokingly mentioned "seizing the means for production"? I guess you're a communist of the same ilk that killed a hundred million right? Of course not, you're just a moral puritan. For the record, I and

He doesn't need to seek any redemption from people like you. You and others like you are thankfully nothing close to being a moral authority. You have more in common with the christian fundamentalists who thought saying "hell&quot
