why wouldn't you just serve them via a CDN?

I haven't followed Neuralink too closely since it was announced, so I was not expecting to see what I just saw. I've seen a handful of breakthrough moments in my life - I think this will be remembered as one.

Honest question: how? I've never seen anyone who's obese and having a diet that made me go "huh that's odd how can they be obese?"

While the inverse occasionally has been true, generally people who I consider in good shape appear to eat less, and less greasy food.

So while there might be exceptions it seems to be a damn good rule of thumb to me.

> I've never seen anyone who's obese and having a diet that made me go "huh that's odd how can they be obese?"

Your question isn't refuting OPs claim: the people you are observing to be fat are fat because of their carb/sugar intake, not fat.

i.e. if you just fed someone large amounts of protein and fat they would be lean; it is the sugar and carbs that make them fat.

Second "yesterday." How is OP so casual about this? $300k at 10% interest is crippling for a new grad, especially a slightly older one. Just the interest is $30k a year. Every year! Just to tread water! This is a debt emergency of staggering proportions.

If you're a junior, you should already have marketable skills. You need to start earning something ASAP, even if it's applying to every scholarship under the sun. I don't know why/how you're taking for granted that you'll even be hirable in a big tech company right out of school, especially making enough to cover an extra $30k+ in loan payments every year.

brettv2 · a year ago
The interest depends on the loan terms, right?

300k over 30 years is ~21k in interest per year. Over 10 years its ~17.5k a year.

But yeah, that's a lot. I'm curious how one racks up $300k at a state school. I just checked a few state schools in New York and their out of state tuition is ~7k a year?

$300k is enough to have gotten a degree from the most expensive private school in the US (Harvey Mudd).

But to answer the OP: absolutely do not start a company. Get a job and pay your loans off.

Wow, so many query languages, right? Do we really need another one? What's the story behind that decision? Cheers.

What would you recommend to bring someone from noob to semi-pro as quickly as possible?
brettv2 · 2 years ago
noob to "semi pro" isn't the jump you are looking for. To get to a level even remotely close to 'semi pro' would require thousands of hours of playtime.

you just need to grasp the basics.

Phil Gordon's Little Green Book and The Theory of Poker (Sklansky) are common recommendations.

Is this real? The "Click on the Laptop", along with the rickroll suggests that this is a gimmick.

The only other thing is to log in, with an email address. Given how questionable the site seems, I bailed.

brettv2 commented on Internal tools often make bad startup ideas   philosophicalhacker.subst... · Posted by u/kmdupree
kromem · 2 years ago
I think this notion can be more generalized: "most ideas are bad startup ideas."

An industry with a 90% 10yr failure rate isn't one where the majority of its members embody wisdom and foresight.

So there's counterexamples to internal tools being good products. But most are bad, just as most external tools are also bad startups.

brettv2 · 2 years ago
Right, but the important difference between an internal tool and {any other start up idea} is that the internal tool, in theory, has "traction" - i.e. it is being used by people. By definition, you can't pose the same perceived value on something that _isn't_ an internal tool.
