Great servers DO NOT want to get paid a higher wage from the restaurant instead of tips because they make so much more in tips.

Why would you think it was a bunch of "finance bros"? You can BS your way to the top in such things as Sales because raw intellect and mental ability is not required. The same can be said for many aspects of finance. But you can't just do HFT or Quant because you want to - you actually need skills. Same way I can't BS my way into designing a rocket - you either can or you can't.

"Avoid 'quick decision' situations"
That's a great way to hear god laugh. Jokes aside - if the quick decision can be "walked back" or is not detrimental if you decide wrong then it doesn't matter and you should probably decide quickly to get through the "maze of life"

You don't need to say "non-entrepreneur" - by default everyone is a non-entrepreneur if you're not an entrepreneur.

Don't listen to the people on hacker news as they are a very specific niche of iphone users. Your users are those fat chicks with bitch on board bumper stickers who buy bubble tea because they think it's healthy.
What I'm trying to say is it looks great and just iterate!

More accurate to say Smart people are curious - be curious.
Helping other people succeed guarantees nothing for you - people can be selfish - especially in business
Since romantic relationships are often an important aspect of one's life, I would also add: If you're interested in someone go talk to them.
Re:Why Simone Giertz spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]

My biggest issue with coat hangers - including this one - is that they are all thin so forget putting heavier shirts, sweaters, and especially jackets on them - they'll stretch out part of the shoulder and you have this visible piece of material sticking out when you put it on.

Re:Why Is Everyone Wondering If Apple Will Buy Disney?
on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @08:49AM (#36785465)
I think Disney is overvalued. I believe people's eyes get glossed over with this "Wonderful world of disney" spiel. They rely on this legacy portfolio of content and who knows what's going to happen with streaming and movies in the next 5-10-20 years because of this greater tech component that's influencing it.
