    Any runners? Breathing life into myself

    HEALTH 
    Thank you, will try as well! Listened to his zone 2 video yesterday. Tried today running very slowly, nearly 13:00/mile, for about 8 miles. Maybe even that is too much for a start, will see. But then the first half felt like a relaxing walk, so maybe it is a good amount for me combined with a...

    temptations in the entrepreneurial journey

    MINDSET 
    The "go work with AI, is the future" is nonsense. The term 'AI' includes a dozen fields, and if you get experience with X, it will have very limited relevance for Y. For example, working on forecasting for the grocery supply chain and working on a chatbot and working on a video generation tool...

    3-step diet idea

    HEALTH 
    This year I had a breakthrough how to think about diet. It can be summarized in 3 steps. 1) Eat enough calories for your activity level. 2) Eat enough of each necessary nutrient. 3) Limit the harmful nutrients / harmful quantities. That's it. If you are not eating enough food, you will not...

    Building a private social app, what do you think?

    IDEA 
    The privacy part reminds me of "The Ministry for the Future," a great fiction book about climate change. The book also touches on the idea of a new social network where users own their data potentially overtaking all other networks once the technology becomes feasible. Could be also a great...

    Any runners? Breathing life into myself

    HEALTH 
    Curious, 160 bpm is relatively high. Why does all the advice on the Internet suggest "zone 2"? Is there any harm in keeping 160 bpm (or higher if comfortable), or is it just not optimal for building endurance but OK?

    Any runners? Breathing life into myself

    HEALTH 
    I enjoy running as an addition to other exercise. A couple times I tried specific speed drills and using a specific multi-week program, and those have helped me get better times. For example, I never broke the 5k in 25 minutes but was able to get a 4k in 20 minutes on a slightly downhill slope...

    Replicating software of others - should I do it?

    - AI - 
    from experience, (1) you need the domain expert as a co-founder. (2) don't trust the domain expert on what the customers would pay. Find out for yourself. If the domain expert cannot easily find you people to talk to, there is no need or they are not a good partner. Or go to some event, find...

    LLC arbitration and money management agreement questions

    one thing to remember about is taxes on phantom income. LLC needs to make distributions for members to pay their taxes, and if it requires both members to vote, then one member can block it, which allows a person with more net worth to have the upper hand

    Not letting the words of others effect me.

    MINDSET 
    How often do you have worrisome thoughts? How much impact do they have on your life? If one thought per week and about 2/10 impact, just let it go. If daily and major impact, why not consider therapy or a support group? There are other techniques such as meditation + visualizing happy thoughts...

    People dont care about strangers...

    MINDSET RANT 
    There are billions of humans on the planet. If you stopped to care for a second for each individual one, your life would run out of seconds. Look at yourself. How much time have you spent today caring about other people? Say, you spent one hour (I doubt). Does anyone know about it? Does anyone...

    Google Chrome Silently Installs a 4 GB AI Model On Your Device – Without Your Consent

    @perchboy the government doesn't care about you, but there exist other people who make life tolerable for the rest of us including journalists, dissidents/activists, lawyers willing to take controversial cases, people at grassroots nonprofits. Just like we need swamps and bushes to make oxygen...

    How a new cafe in my building became successful

    STORY 
    This year, a new cafe has opened in my high-rise. Another coffee-and-sandwich place on that same block closed within weeks. Absolutely destroyed by the competition. Now I find myself spending about $500/month on takeouts from the new place. And it's not like there were no other restaurants...

    2-year old Volunteer project seeks programmer

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That is an option, but it requires finding those multiple people willing to contribute. I am just trying to find one person for a start. The game is interesting enough to play and educational enough that it's worth trying to improve it further, but not quite amazing enough yet where it would...

    2-year old Volunteer project seeks programmer

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hey forum, so there's this volunteer project, a computer game, a city builder focused on the climate change theme. I can share link in DM. (Hence posting in off-topic because it's currently not for profit.) It's been in development for 2 years and the main programmer wants to move on, so...

    Why SF rental properties are bad investments, and why Fastlane is the better alternative

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Yes. I knew a very clever person, experienced in finance, stocks trading and a high earner, who decided to purchase and rent out a house. Long story short, first, he overpaid for the house. Second, after factoring in the maintenance it ended up being net negative. Before he could accept it, he...

    "Artificial Intelligence" is the biggest scam going.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The schools of thought are 1) the end of work because AI will be doing all the work and it will be a 'brave new world' with the few controlling the many, who will still be satisfied 2) potential end of the humans because AI will get rid of us 3) no big-picture impact, and the two ideas above are...

    How I Finally Stopped Wasting Time in Front of Screens

    MINDSET 
    Habits like this always relapse. Only a daily positive habit can destroy an entrenched negative one. And daily positive habits stick best if there is a big 'why'. That said, one thing that worked miracles for me was having rules (e.g. at most read reddit once a week) and clear punishments...

    Neither choice is "correct." I've seen people who commit to clubbing and partying for decades, and it's working for them.
