Two weeks ago I was an excited entrepreneur/engineer and looked forward to building new products that improved peoples lives. But with an inability to estimate my product COGS and consumer confidence diminishing, I'm giving that u

Your repeated comment is only half right. This has moved from win-win to lose-lose.

I did talk to a doctor. He quoted me $12,000 for a surgery that sounded excessive and had a long recovery time. I try to get second opinions, but doctors are so busy that I never get a call back or schedule many months out. Oddly the wealth

My small business produces a niche consumer electronic device. Anyone watching us operate would say that our product is Made in the USA. But the components of our product are sourced and pre-processed all over the world and our COGS just in

You are right. Accepting $200k for one prisoner is not worth risking all future contracts from this temperamental US administration.

If the El Salvadorian gov't is corrupt enough to run an international pay-based prison, couldn't they also accept a payment, from anyone, for releasing an international prisoner? The logistics after release would be secondary but

US citizens may not want to travel internationally because they don't trust US customs and border agents upon their return. About 20 years ago a customs agent asked me, "are you thanking the lord Jesus Christ that you have returne

He seems to have solved a mindset issue that eludes others like myself. I reduced to 24hr billable hours a week thinking that it would help with burnout. Instead my ego is constantly deflated given that I am now the least productive develop

No, this isn't about oligarchs. This is about sadists some of whom happen to be oligarchs whose singular goal is to make the non-MAGA sad. It is working.

It's not enough to have personal optimism you need a community/culture of optimists. ~10 years ago that was there in a big way for tech. It was peak YC prestige. HBO's Silicon Valley brought the start-up struggles/drama

That's my point. It reminds me of when the greatest smart contract writers in the world got "hacked" by what was in the retrospect, a rookie error. We now have ETH and ETC which no one at the time (I'm a former miner) w

Imagine if Fort Knox had a magic key allowing the bearer to walk in and out of it, at will, with as much riches as they wanted. Now imagine that bearer is a politician who blames the North Korea for the missing assets. Or imagine that key

I assume this Tesla Takedown link is for organizing law abiding protests. But if you plan on burning something, be courteous and leave a comment in advance. Thanks! https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedow

Of all the coins why choose the one that is not regulated in anyway. At least the others like BTC, ETH, SOL are regulated by the unaffiliated miners and stakeholders. What prevents the XRP team from introducing any arbitrary fork such as a

Do you realize that this cult has marinated their brain in propaganda, like Fox News, for years/decades and their politic beliefs are now their identity. There is no possible conversion therapy. They have to awake on their own. >&gt

Not ADHD specifically, but about 12 years ago, the media was hyping Provigil as a "secret weapon" of the ultra-productive. Despite having a prescription, CVS told me that my insurance wouldn't cover it and it would cost $1500

The above describes me but it is the consequence of my behaviors/habits. Being a workaholic, I learned long ago to ignore the leash that pulls me to the refrigerator. It seems by brain no longer sends me a "you need to eat" s

Go where you have friends, family, or some clear reason to be. The fact that you are open to suggestions implies this is an aimless/distracting way to waste years of your life. Perhaps you have the type of trouble you can't run aw

The claim by the Canadian-American ambassador is that the Canadian border accounts for ~1% of Fentanyl traffic into the United States. Yet we are treating them as severely as Mexico and China. I suspect this has more to do with the U.S. Pre

My comment is off-topic, but I am unclear what insurance would pay in the case of a total loss of a home/neighborhood. For example, a small one bedroom home in the Pacific Palisades might have had a FMV of $2M. Let's assume the s
