There are tons of cards with no annual fees that offer collision damage waiver too.

You have to adjust your priors at some point though, right?

    Fool me once, shame on my prior.
    Fool me twice, shame on my posterior.

Lots of fears are visceral, but even if we were to allow only verbalizable fears, one could imagine the arachnophobes thinking "what if this tiny spider burrows through my eyes or ears and lays eggs inside my brain, and then all the baby spiders stream out of my mouth and nostrils"

Thermophiles living near hydrothermal vents are the real "steam"-punk

People who are not terrified of spiders, of course.

Arachnophobia (even the mild variety) is not universal. I know some people who think spiders are cute. It takes all kinds, I guess.

Shockley -> Fairchild -> Intel, AMD couldn't have happened with non-compete. So Silicon Valley couldn't have happened in Washington.

Per capita isn't a good measure here, as Washington's weather helps lower the denominator (I say this as a former Seattle resident)

It's funny how states like Washington are notorious for enforceable non-competes, to be "business friendly".

Meanwhile California bans non-competes, and its GDP is 4th largest in the world if it were a country!

"incumbent friendly" vs "startup friendly"

I see, thanks for the feedback. I'll improve that.

Thanks, I'll create an HN theme for that page. BTW here's more discussion about this, back when I did a "Show HN" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35904988

Thanks, will do. Please see my cousin comment for a potential workaround.

Thanks. I'll create a HN-like theme.

In the meantime, if you install the browser extension, you can get the tags directly in HN itself. Would that address the ui issue?

I'd love for everyone to move to https://histre.com/ :-) (which I built)

"Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans." - Douglas Adams

Different strokes indeed

While that can always be arranged if all the parties agree, it would be a bad idea for the founders to give the angels the option to cash out like that, as the fact that they're choosing to cash out will tank all further investments. VCs will wonder "What do they know that I don't?"

Always consider signaling risk.

This can be avoided by always cashing out, I guess. But it's bad for angels to always cash out, as letting it ride on the unicorns is the only way to make meaningful returns, if any.

Always consider power law.

It makes sense to walk away even in the game theoretic sense. Many people think in terms of prisoner's dilemma, when it is actually iterated prisoner's dilemma.

This morning I made this while sipping coffee, and it solves a real problem for my gf: https://github.com/kirubakaran/xmldiffer Sure it's not enormous, and it was built from scratch, but imho it's not a trivial thing either. It would've taken me at least a day or two of full time work, and I certainly don't have a couple of days to spare on a task like this. Instead, pair programming with AI made it into a fun relaxing activity.

Less than 6 bars a day is pretty doable! :-p

Humans have so far failed all the tests that crows set up to measure their intelligence
