See slides 47-51. You won't be disappointed.
That's great; what city is this?
How much commission do they take? I heard it's a lot too but not as bad as others.
In long-run, I predict that sellers de-listing because of this and moving elsewhere will have not been worth whatever money it is they will make as a seller on their own platform.
Sherwood is not very good. But they are the only real choice you have if you're a tech startup. There is definitely a startup to be built in just helping businesses close properly.

Him funding many effective people working on big ideas at once is probably more effective than him doing one idea himself.

Let's say he wins. Execution of spending billions to win an election is actually very hard. When you look at Bloomberg's tactics, he's been playing the game for a very, very long time. He is on another level from your other billionaires. Everyone is making it seem like you can just be rich and clone tactics or something and boom, election yours.
Will there be a whitepaper pertaining to T-NLG? Post is light on details.

Also, what's the timeline to release private preview? Outside of academia, who else will you likely be working with first?

I checkout playlists of artists I like and go down that rabbit hole. I never have gotten stuck in a genre. Quite diverse.

Tbh, I haven't seen a real-life example that perfectly clones this method but I've adopted parts of the system that makes sense for my own workflow. I think that's how it should be approached. Luhmann developed this in a non-digital world after all.

How to take Smart Notes is a very good book that explains this technique well. Highly recommend.

Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes is a good start. It explains the high-level science of fat regulation well and can deep dive further with references. Gives a good history of bad nutrition advice. There's a bias towards low carb, high fat diet (popular variant is keto).

I'm thankful to live in a country that respects my basic human rights. Having met those less fortunate, I've realized I've taken this for granted way too long. Birth is the greatest randomizer to your life.

Re:Show HN: Hide Likes Everywhere on Thursday November 21, 2019 @03:31PM (#21599250)
Hiding likes to avoid bias towards "liking" a post is good. Preventing likes is not good. This seems like a good balance - still allows for ppl to unbiasedly like and for the algos to try to send me good stuff.

Correction: it's run by Daniel Gross, who used to work at YC. YC has nothing to do with it.
