Since then, I always try to book plane tickets with PayPal. It is a bit ironic that as an EU citizen, I was screwed by EU company (Lufthansa), EU politicians (German government), but saved by a private US company (PayPal) :D

Lenny (01:09:16): ...can you just talk about why war work feels like war, and then what maybe people could do to make it feel less like war?

Jason Fried (01:09:29): ...a lot of work uses war metaphors. You're targeting customers. You are conquering a market... It says, "They conquer the market. They capture mindshare. They target customers. They employ a sales force. They hire head hunters. They destroy the competition. They pick battles and they make a killing."

That's how people talk about business. I find that to be depressing... We use words to establish a perspective in a way of thinking about the world. And if those are the words that are in your head, then you feel like it's this war. This is the other thing. People are always like, "What do the Navy SEALs do?" And they're like, "Heck, yeah." That's the Navy SEALs, man. It's not your software business. Why are we always looking to Navy SEALs to tell us how to run our business? "The military, they've got a group of eight and they do these."

It's like, "Yeah, okay, that's that context." Can we not look at that for a second about ... That's amazing. What they do is amazing, obviously, but what you're doing is you're making B2B accounting software. Let's just chill for a second here, okay? I like to think of words that are more additive and alternative. " We can exist. Let's exist. Let's make something great." Not, "Let's beat them, let's conquer them, let's make a killing." Let's just make something great. I think that matters, and it changes the way you think about the work that you do.

Mainstream economist think inflation is good and recommend 1-3% for a healty economy. And inflation is more practical to implement than putting date stamps on the back of bills like the original idea in the article.

From the article: "On that fateful day, George witnessed a pregnant elephant nearing labor. The large mammal spun in wide, slow circles. As he watched, George hypothesized that the spinning helped the elephant deliver its 250-pound baby."

Saying “recognize speech” makes a sound that can be indistinguishable from “wreck a nice beach.”

There is also an entry on IRS Individual Master File, but is short on information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Master_File

For example, Sam's opinion on books:

“Oh, yeah?” says SBF. “I would never read a book.”

I’m not sure what to say. I’ve read a book a week for my entire adult life and have written three of my own.

“I’m very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that,” explains SBF. “I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”

So there you have it: Books are for losers.

I guess that explains a lot.

Take that with a grain of salt, as I couldn't find a reliable source.

EV infrastructure in EU is incredibly fragmented. Nice that Tesla chargers are becoming accessible, but we still have fragmentation of apps and charging subscriptions/accounts (Tesla app/account is another one you need to have): https://svedic.org/tech/daddy-did-you-really-need-electric-c...
