I am so grateful my parents didn't need to "create space in my schedule" for anything. I created my own schedule (outside of school). That is autonomy, not your parents creating spaces in your schedule.

Ok, I have to ask, what kind of camera was that? Did we really have film cameras small enough that could be casually carried by tourists in 1935?

No really, if a lot of them (gift givers) are older family members (already married). In that case, you will pay back much later when you are that older family, so, at best, it's like a long-term loan when you needed most.

Getting that domain probably wasn't dirt cheap either. Kudos for the commitment.

I mean, you have no reason to suspect he was ever violent. On the other hand, if he flashes women at the office, they'll sue the company. If the company is well known, the press is going to get to that. Anyway, you have shit on your hands. If you are not the owner, just an employee in charge of recruiting, you may even lose your job. It is a bit risky.

But I don't see a problem with hiring the guy to work from home as a contractor.

Yes, like that. However, in the last couple of months, I managed to move my kid's schedule from waking up at 4:30 AM, to more humane 6-7. I am very proud of this achievement.

Which means it only makes sense being profiled if the readers of those sites are your potential customers.

Eh, I guess. Seems quite common even among high profile people though. I also remember a dean from the MIT being caught for the same thing, after something like 20 years. She too just resigned, and that was that.

Probably not. If it was, for example, that Yahoo CEO, pre-Mayer, who also faked his credentials would have been arrested.

Any lawyers here? How much can he get for this?

There is a guy from Stanford, BJ Fogg is the name IIRC, who does a course "Simple Habits". It's like, commit to doing 1 pushup for 5 days first thing in the morning. It is supposed to lead to forming long-term bigger habits, but I'm personally not convinced. Anyways, check him out.

It delivers in Canada. Both small items by post, and large items (furniture) for $100 flat.

Are those services free in the US? In Canada forwarding costs quite a bit.

where is this quote from? I want to learn more about Charlies thoughts. What should I read?

In this context, I think he really talks about taxing capital (or capital investments that displace workers).

Drinking water was invented as a torture device?

yes, it's I believe $5/month to unlock all of the stories, otherwise you get just the newest one.

No, because people who give the money to the investor (limited partners) can optimize their own portfolios. It is not the VC's mandate to do that. From the LP's point of view, investment in the VC fund is the risky component of their portfolio.

At first, I was surprised about southern BC, but then it could be that it's so awesome there that people don't want to move.

You really don't think that Uber should do any background check, such as whether their drivers have suspended license?

Anthropologists seem to agree* that hunter-gatherers (our ancestors, but also ones living in modern times) worked a little less than 8 hours a day.

* For source, I've seen Yuval Noah Harari and Peter Gray writing about it.

I remember reading that Australian aboriginals have up to 5% of Denisovan genes (don't remember source, but it was widely reported after the discovery)

Have you ever heard of a Harlow Monkeys? Basically, even monkeys go insane when raised by a "robot"

or 'Nurture Shock' that also has a chapter on that.

I do, but I consciously keep only a small number of them (ideally not much more than 100) and regularly purge.

Just for the record, Udacity founder has said that he won't have anything to do with this company (per BI article)

> Right? This is an odd choice.

Why? UofT / Hinton are doing the AI here...

From the WSJ article:

> Mr. Musk has taken an active role setting up the California-based company and may play a significant leadership role, according to people briefed on Neuralink’s plans, a bold step for a father of five who already runs two technologically complex businesses.

"document rather than create"

what does this mean?

Their garden looks beautiful!
