Remember: a good phish will push the target to make quick and poor decisions, by appealing to various emotions.
if what I just wrote is true, then I can see how others might use vc-backed companies as a proxy for broad economic gains
Also, Remember how the tiktok algorithm supposedly works: if a brand only watches / likes / comments on tiktokers who build things, the "hiring" feed will be full of people building things.
It seems like it would make sense to have a gas engine and propeller to get the foil on-plane from stopped, then when "gliding" switch to a battery powered jet pump to keep it at speed.

Such strange and probably necessary legal language...

you have to ask yourself: why would the most talented and/or visionary and/or defiant individuals want to stay at a large company to build new products? Be it in Labs, Spin-outs, Spin-ins, corporate accelerators, skunkworks projects, or what have you. The craziest of the crazy will go out on their own and try to build something. Most will fail. Those that persist eventually combine luck+opportunity and turn their hallucinations into mainstream-disruptive innovations.
then, the press secretary in your brain (the thing between your subconscious & conscious mind) goes into hyper-rationalization (denial) mode and you start to defend the amount and type of chemicals you use, even when they are literally killing you and those around you
If you're asking about what physical or psychological withdrawal from a drug feels like, it depends on the person, the chemical, and other variables. The worst opiates (Suboxone / Methadone) have 6 month+ withdrawal symptoms, and the faster ones are ~7 days. Hellish times. However, while abstinence frees you from withdrawal symptoms, unless the underlying mental issues are addressed it's likely you'll go back to the very same substance that got you here.
That there exists people like this person who can chip (controlled use of opiates) always intrigues me -- as this drug was the ultimate pathway to euphoria and thus I became the mouse hitting the button for more more more. If you're on the chipping path I hope you can find peace just for today.
I am pro-legalization of all drugs with some FDA oversight on quality.
I don't know much about semi plants but what sort of jobs are these? Why aren't these plants all automated?
Just seems like the smallest businesses and the largest businesses get the most deals and those in the middle get hosed. Maybe that's working as intended.
Whatever happened to taxing the rich?
let's say it is 80, can you imagine a way to get 80% of the supply (stores) onto this platform? Or, could you chart a path to get to x% supply after y weeks?
idea 1: fake it, just list stores and items on a website and find out a way to get users to see it without paying for ads
idea 2: sign stores up one by one, using some interview-derived value proposition, and get your friends to help onboarding new stores, challenge them to sign up x% more stores per week
idea 3: post about it on hn :(
Doordash put up menus on a website and started delivering orders by hand.
1) fake review/counterfeit problem 2) support mom and pop
Google Shopping is trying to go after the "amazon prime for the rest of the internet", which seems like a good idea.
On 2), One thing to do would be to do what doordash did, just go to 50 mom and pop retail stores in one region and talk to them. see what their problems actually are.
The fake review/counterfeit goods problem is actually pretty hard to solve, but it's interesting because it's not on amazon's top 3 problems list, so you could disintermediate. Ways to solve it that may be businesses: machine learning, limiting manufacture geo's, relying on video product reviews with trusted influencers, tracking PE acquisitions as a proxy for brand deterioration, reading negative reviews first, etc.
This race-to-the-bottom rhetoric seems like a pessimistic view blocking actual opportunity; as we've seen with any marketplace (e.g., amazon, doordash, walmart, shopify) it's a balance...
Is it possible to somehow let the end user design a ui/ux that works for them?
