There are some pseudonyms that have built up large social audiences and are active investors in many projects that I have crossed paths with. At least one is a founder as well as an investor, etc.

Check out @boredelonmusk as an example.

These ads showed up in rock magazines like Creem and rolling stone, playboy, oui, counter culture newspapers, etc.

We used to run a site at quakefinger.com that scanned all the quake and eventually gamedev plan .files. It was awesome. Sadly the wayback doesn't go back to the earliest days but you can get the flavor here:

Optimistic Take: Crypto and NFT markets are opening the doors for photos, writing and creativity of all stripes to get valued far more than ever before.

This took place in real time on reddit, pretty much. If not this exact case - very close to it. You can search for it.

I think the cooking classes are very good. I don't know what a "Master Class" is per se, but getting Thomas Keller walking me one on one through a bunch of his recipes has to be pretty close! The article is right on, the classes totally inspired me and now I cook every day, without fear.

Isn’t this the company that famously went to a 4 day work week years ago?

Bitcoin fixes this.

Few understand this.

Why is this on Hacker News?

Under-appreciated comment. The reduction of friction always wins in consumer services.

Interesting stat - the estimate is that this year 1.4 trillion photos will be taken.

In 2012 it was estimated that 3.4 trillion pictures had been taken in the previous 174 years.

Tesla beta tested this in California a few years ago - between LA and Santa Barbara. I received an invite to try it out but never did. They shut it down a year or two later.

I think they are making good strides on fast charging and decided not to lean into the swap.

I think it's an incredible bargain to be honest. Everything is really well produced and the content is top notch.

Thomas Keller explaining his techniques is more than worth the entire price.

I highly recommend Masterclass to get into cooking. The Gordon Ramsey and Thomas Keller videos jumpstarted me into serious cooking last year. 10/10 would recommend.

I have the tempo.fit - It's a giant video screen with camera that does exactly this. It's a great piece of kit.

Agreed - did not realize they didn't release a larger screen size.

You're right on all counts! Totally forgot about that. Just purchased the RAM. Did not realize they did not release a 27". Thanks!

I don’t think that’s directionally wrong. I bought my first Tesla and all subsequent Tesla’s in part to support the global move to electric vehicles.

I buy the FSD to help move us in that direction. I’m actually happy with their progress so far and I recognize they have a loooooong way to go.

They are making great progress as is the industry as a whole both in electrics and driving Capabilities.

I bought the highest end iMac 27 with 64gb, etc etc, mid year last year for $5k. I knew this was coming. Still hurts.

Where is the best place to sell a 1yr old Mac?

FWIW, Robinhood has zero fees on crypto! I believe they are the least expensive option on bitcoin, ether, etc.

You don't actually take possession of the coin - no wallet, etc, purely custodial. But saves the 3.5% bitcoin fee from Coinbase!

I wrote a few books with a major publisher, but did it largely for the authority that it conveyed on my work and career at the time.

Love works too. :)

I think it makes sense. He's saying that if you get a 15% royalty, vs the 100% royalty minus costs of self publishing, you need to sell 5x more books via the publisher.

It's oddly worded, but the math roughly works depending on your self publishing costs.

Hi - congrats on your amazing looking product and experience!

I just purchased an Ergatta 2 weeks ago, waiting for delivery. In what circumstances would I want your product instead of the Ergatta?

Background: I'm an avid peloton user for 3 years now, (also just picked up the tempo.fit for guided lifting) and am looking to mix in intense rowing sessions. The Ergatta looks compelling for gamified sessions with competition.

Change my mind?

No, they tell you what the price will be at the last moment. They do indicate a range. They don’t really care what you think about the price.

This. All to the benefit of the investment bank and their best customers who are rewarded with allocations of “hot” ipo’s.

How I know this: I have been the recipient of allocations in the past.

Link please?

I think curation of music is a large part of the ultimate answer to recreating the relationship we used to have with music. If you think it's "stunning" I want to hear it!

You see this with... Countries of hundreds of millions of people. The idea that one person is running the United States is ludicrous. The amount of over-attention on the current president is just an amazing case in point. This approach doesn't scale and the resulting lack of progress is holding us all hostage. /rant

I cannot get my head around this.

To be that good at making money and that intent at giving it away is such a massive paradox not to mention paradigm shift from how we typically discuss wealth and wealth accumulators.

Looking for video interviews....

Does anyone aggregate access to all 1500 TLD's? Is there a guide available on which combination of registrars to use to query them all?

Interesting hit piece. I know Alex from the gaming industry - he's very smart, very driven and very nice.

3 thoughts: 1. 375mm is a huge number. 375mm is also 1/3 of 1% of the fund... so small potatoes. Any numbers they throw around are going to look enormous and make great headlines.

2. If some of the investments don't sound a little crazy to you, then what is their differentiation or thesis? Remember PG's essay about good companies often start off sounding like terrible ideas.

3. Yes, anyone that can raise large amounts of money, well, that may be their core strength. Raising money. They need to pair that with someone that can build a team. It's not a bad thing to be able to raise funds.

Every SoftBank funded company must have an army of reporters looking for weakness. One of the cons of getting money too easily I suppose.

That said, I did not / do not understand Wag, and I have 3 dogs and I pay for dog walkers. Against my will, I'm married, she insists. I'm not totally craZy.

It is actually to my thinking.

There is some analysis that boils down to the below:

“He concluded, with help from The Cook Political Report, that the election hinged not on Clinton's large 2.8 million overall vote margin over Trump, but rather on about 78,000 votes from only three counties in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan (by the same logic, Obama won in 2012 due to three counties in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania)

That’s definitely a squeak.
