Beginning of game:

CEO = 0$ value Employee = 0$ value

---

Round 1 Year

CEO = $20M Employee = $0.5M (generous)

--

Round 5 Years

CEO = $100M (if pay remained the same, and they did not create new companies, which I'm sure they will).

Employee = $3M (let's give them promo) etc. Cost of living is increasing with employee's wage, nothing for a CEO.

----

Tell me who is more secure, who has the flexibility to take risks, and create new value.

It's not about the 900$ every human being gets. It's how much differentiation 5 years makes, which is 1/4 of value generation timespan of adults.

I've been using it for the past 3 years. Things I love about Apple Maps.

1. Limited distractions. 2. Traffic Lights, Stop signs are so easy to follow! 3. Lanes are rendered very clearly.

Of course, once in every other blue moon I have to open Google Maps when I find myself in an alley with no outlet, while Apple Maps is telling me to drive through the building.

I agree with the sentiment here, but I couldn't find a way to scale when working with others over async document communication channels. However, I did a self experiment and realized using markdown in electronic communication, google docs (even if its not supported) is much better at create a mind map of knowledge than regular text. I don't know why. My current ranking model is:

    1. Is this knowledge for me? Write in a notepad. Upload a screenshot to my personal rambling google doc.
    2. Is this knowledge for a group that includes me? Use markdown text files (READMEs, Google Doc etc.)
    3. Resort to Wiki or a Rich Text Editor.

I think it depends on whom you ask.

1. If you plan to continue your entrepreneurial journey, VCs tend to look for what you've learnt from the failure of the business, what would you have done differently etc. 2. If you want to board the FAANG train again, technical details about product, scale, issues etc. would be of interest.

Does that make sense to you?

100% agree. There are a lot of unnecessary features, that I rarely use. As a customer, you need a simple reliable service.

I have been thinking about similar problem. I have a few TBs of hard drives lying around my house. And I have 180GB of photos in my iCloud. Instead of paying iCloud, can I compress my photos and save them in my hard drive.

My mantra

  - Don't use anything that has recommendation engine. Especially the opaque ones. I don't need to watch "what Crypto crash means" when I recently searched and watched Cricket videos!
  - The only exception is Hacker News. 
  - If I want to watch something on YouTube, be goal oriented. What exactly am I here to watch.
  - I've also cut down on streaming content. Started buying the content I wanna watch. I feel paralyzed and drowning with the array of content from each provider. And somehow they never have the content that I exactly want.
Started enjoying boredom a lot more with my kid.

Well said! I wonder if Web3 could solve such a problem (or a zero trust solution). Where you provide your service that can run in a special container

It never sat well with me that none of the production services could leverage my local computation and storage power. I don't need to store my contacts on a remote server that could index my contacts when mixed with every other contact in a single table. That’s a blatantly oversimplified example but you get the gist.
