I quit after 2 because doing a startup means you have all eggs in one basket thus skin in the game is not reduced.

> Raising capital to do a startup reduces skin in the game (you’re spending other people’s money, after all

Peoples most scarce resource is the time they are investing and I have yet to meet a founder that doesn't do 80 hour week to make the wave next week.

lowdose··on Why is the Google Cloud UI so slow?
I can find my way easier in Google Cloud than in AWS. The services are also more polished and seem more mature compared to AWS. I'm about to give Google Colab Pro a try because the free version has been deteriorating.

lowdose··on FireEye Shares Details of Recent Cyber Attack
> Why say that? Why not just say you were attacked and going to try and determine why and make any changes

Because they would be out of business tomorrow if they say they think it was a 13 year old from Ohio just fooling around on a Sunday.

This is FireEye marketing itself for the F500 by selling fear of an invisible adversary with unlimited resources that already deliver innovative black hat capabilities.

lowdose··on The Rise (and Inevitable Fall) of Citizen Kane
"Once upon a time in Hollywood" is the best movie of all time because it is completely about the career of Clint Eastwood and his uncredited stuntmen. For example the flamethrower is about Clint Eastwoods nazi role in Where Eagles Dare[0] where he is on camera with a flamethrower he holds as a gun. Cinephiles completely missed the meaning of this master piece. Watch Once upon a time in Hollywood again with Clint in mind

lowdose··on FTC commissioner met with Apple regarding Facebook’s iOS 14 complaints
> ALL Ads are bad. No Ads should be allowed. And yet at the same time they are enjoying all the free tools and website build upon this business model.

And then also the notion that ALL data gathered intrude privacy. And somehow anyone on the Internet should be anonymous, may be that is not even the right word, may be invisible could be used to better describe it.

Let's name it the Thiel paradox. Maybe then this flavor of cognitive dissonance is better captured and told further.
