There are so many horrible takes in this thread.

Quit complaining and focusing on the past get to work trying to have fucking kids! Stop wasting time on HN and go start spending that energy to try and get your partner pregnant.

Plenty of women have kids up into their late 40s. This woman had 3 after 40.

You need someone to kick you in the ass to get your mind in the right place. I know plenty of women who have had healthy children at 45. Get off your computer and go get laid.

What are the financial penalties for this? Cost of damages most interesting angle and not mentioned in article.

Company and leadership on boat should be held liable to the greatest extent possible. Set an example to curtail this sort of reckless behavior.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig takes you deep into the philosophy on what is 'quality'. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

A powerful excerpt from the book: 'So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as in any other task, is to cultivate the peace of mind which does not separate one’s self from one’s surroundings. When that is done successfully then everything else follows naturally. Peace of mind produces the right values, the right values produce the right thoughts. Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all.'

Odd that more aren't discussing the incentives for banks to secure the funding for their clients who have debt on the books with the banks.

e.g. take two companies who both applied at the same time and each is doing $1M in revenue. However, company A has $250k in debt with the bank whereas company B does not.

Now all of a sudden the banks give the cash to the company with the debt because they know if they fail they will have to eat that on their balance sheet. They are incentivized to distribute the $ in a priority that fits them not on a 'first come first serve' basis which is the fair approach.

After struggling with this problem while a student at Notre Dame I started a company to solve my own problem.

To that end - we've developed a behavioral therapy program combining neuroscience, sleep health products, hardware, analytics, and coaching to improve sleep. It's designed to make long-term changes to help you improve the quantity, quality, and regularity of your sleep. https://puresomni.com

If anyone has sleep specific questions let me know.

Or perhaps re-engineer a food that is already popular in the marketplace with high amounts of good fats in it. Re-market it and you've got a new business.
