I have cracked other joints as well. I have stopped doing the neck and the spine tho - that seems not worth the risk. I had a particularly annoying joint that I have completely stopped cracking - likely the cause was a functional issue that

the FIFA branding on the EA game was gone and EA still came out well. So UEFA could learn something from that situation.

you guys made the case better in 2 comments - the original article is bloated and misses these key aspects.

People are looking for the AI bear case - so this headline gotta work better. Its not a bad idea haha. More people suspect there is some circular shenanigans but want confirmation -- so maybe this is the best way to lure them in. Come as th

+1 that motivation reel on IG hit so hard... AI is likely correlation not causation. The generation that resonated with the self-help books has aged out. Short form vids on YT, TT, IG taking mind-share is likely the bigger cause.

This is a good point. If there was timeless material, they would continue to sell. Maybe War of Art or Meditations still continue to sell. Deep Work is a joke.

if we get to the stage where the AI hardware is a more of a commodity and usability becomes 10x simpler, then people may buy their own hardware and run local models. Everybody owns a car, washer, TV, etc today. Maybe one could finance a ser

There is efficiency in the cloud model for models. So maybe there is a scope for Apple or an "Apple for AI" in the AI compute game - mainly from the perspective of privacy etc. And once the servers are in space, everything is full

tried to read Prince and I assume it is a translation to English from Italian or whatever. Assuming that translation was done a while ago (100+ yrs?)... It is hard to read. I can understand it if I try. But the phrasing is not current. 100

That's a good point. Some of the (many) B2B companies in YC also get a decent start by selling to the other YC companies.

I personally agree with the premise to ship early, with some rough edges, etc. But teammates may not be supportive. You need the whole team to have that mindset/culture.

It is good only if the whole team believes it. If the team mates have a different mindset, they see it as half baked or hacky. And if there is ever some bad feedback, they just use it as a "I told you so" and throw you under the b

my thinking is that NW does not have to be tracked in a way that the double entries zero out. Every six months, I just open the 3-4 brokerages and banks and make an entry in a spreadsheet for cash/stock/bonds/crypto/othe

These days, I find it is doable 2-3 times a year. Its a lot of work at one shot but somehow able to catch up so as to review the main spending accounts. The zeroing is what attract me still. I get to see some patterns in my overall spending

The hard part has been to import all the accounts and to categorize the transactions on the 1-2 cards and 1-2 checking accounts that get used a lot. However doing hledger motivated me to simplify things. Either delete cards and accounts. Or

The negative externality of EV car manufacturing seems net worse (today) per car. Harsher chemicals, more mining, more processing, lesser life of a car and battery, less mature tech so more wastage, etc. Tesla might be responsible but almos

> EV car production is likely worse or equal to ICE car production at each step Does anyone feel otherwise? Is the net carbon and environmental footprint really lower over the entire lifecycle per car for an EV? Not today

by rapidfl 9mo ago
That's my point about ICE not innovating enough. And of course hybrid would be one of the innovations. Also it should have more electronic luxuries and connectivity to match the newly designed EVs. Hybrids would carry a bigger batter

Agree subsidies does not seem like the correct incentive structure. But that's what the other guy is doing so I guess that's what we have to do. In general, can the EV industry survive without government subsidies? Maybe now it ca

Like many sibling comments, many companies are on a range that is on the bad side. There is a part of EV supply chain that is particularly bad and that is for all companies. But what about the environmental costs that are being externalized
