Answer above is good, but yes he's a known quantity. I am a political moderate and definitely don't agree with everything he says, but I find his POV (and knowledge of antitrust history) to be a valuable perspective.

+1 on this!

Zero mention of Sam Altman…interesting

not the most important point here, but llms.txt won't have any impact on anything anyway.

came to the comments to try and find the answer, still don't see it lol

not the Flux Capacitor?!?!

misread this as "my tactical guide to firing a cofounder."

.....probably would be quite useful also?

I have worked in SEO for 10+ years and didn't find this very useful. Yes, it validates a bunch of theories I have. No, it doesn't change how I will do anything.

I work in search and didn't find anything surprising in here. But that's mostly because I've just assumed Google has been lying for years about many things, such as not using click data or Chrome data.

I've directly seen people who have successfully manipulated search rankings by having logged-in chrome users search for a term, and then click on a given page. Works like a charm (though may not stick once the manipulation is done, unless organic users also prefer it).

Big question here: is this something specific to OpenView, or are we about to see a bunch of 'zombie fund' failures rip through the ecosystem?

I'm a nontechnical marketer with a senior person who builds internal tools. We very much have this problem. We get it...most of the way there. But without a strong system to distribute it, get feedback, get buy-in, a lot of the work is underutilized.

>The federal government’s action is, in my estimation, the right thing to do for this moment in time. There will, though, be long-term consequences for fundamentally changing the nature of a bank: remember, depositors are a bank’s creditors, who are compensated for lending money to the bank; if there is no risk in lending that money, why should depositors make anything? Banks, meanwhile, are now motivated to pursue even riskier strategies, knowing that depositors will be safe.

I don't believe this is a binary issue, but a lot of the "pro-bailout" rhetoric is essentially "well of course we need to know we'll get our money back if we deposit it in a bank." This is clearly the best ideal. But that's not how it works! And FDIC limits were real but ignored in this case!

Never seen this site before but love the interactive + visual content. Found this one which is more broadly applicable: https://growth.design/case-studies/mental-models

The idea behind this is nice - "people want to diversify their risk and not be 'owned' by one company" - but I don't think it's in line with the way people are, unfortunately.

People like the simple, dependable nature of the biweekly paycheck — full stop. I run a services business, and I've talked to many amazing in-house folks who I'm sure could do the same (and be more successful than I am). What I've found is that for many people, the concept of not being sure what they'll make is simply unpalatable.

This article cites survey results but doesn't talk about all the reasons people don't enjoy or have success when they go it alone.

To me, this actually highlights how we like to vilify individuals who are emblematic of a larger trend - to make ourselves feel better (while ignoring the disturbing or ridiculous 'norm').

I saw this post around when it came out; I thought it was ridiculous, but not even top-5 cringe on LI for the day. How many of the people slamming this guy are authors of 10s or 100s of histrionic self-laudatory posts that try to deliver some big lesson? It's all gross. Don't act like this guy is uniquely terrible!

It reminds me of how Americans love to point to the outrageous actions of other countries as a way to whitewash our own sordid past...but I digress!

SEO person here. If you look at any topic or vertical with a lot of competition, there is bound to be monotony. That's because SEO people are trained to study "search intent", meaning, what do people think about when they search? What questions/desires can we, as publishers, help them fulfill?

It's a good theory, but becomes circular when you consider that one of the primary ways to determine search intent is . . . seeing what does well on Google.

So if you search for, say, "customer feedback", you see a lot of general guides about strategy, offering general definitions. That's likely because the first couple pages that ranked did it, and then more players saw that and said "oh, search intent for 'customer feedback' is [whatever they are doing]."

When you see all the listicles for certain queries, that's what you're seeing. Yes, it probably reflects some desire from people to see a list of options. But it's also just SEO people saying "look, the search intent is X." It leads to everyone copying each other and reduces the incentive to try and be innovative/think outside the box with content.

am I the only person here eagerly scrolling through the comments to see if "pc" chimes in??

curious what does and doesn't constitute "nomad". e.g. I was based in Thailand and traveled around a lot for 2 years, which probably constitutes "nomad".

but then I moved to Spain and have been there pretty steady for 2 years. I fit a lot of "nomad" traits, except for the key definition: I haven't moved around.

There's a blurry line between "expat" and "nomad".

bit of a different perspective, but I simultaneously believe: a) Video is draining, like this study (and all the anecdotes in comments) attest to; b) You need video at least a majority of the time to maintain any type of human relationship with people in a remote environment.

Maybe the problem isn't the video, but an abundance of meetings. Fewer meetings = less fatigue!

I am 25% Parsi but didn’t know much of the history. Really interesting.
