Or Outlook.com, their free webmail alternative to Gmail?

In the long term Intuit is probably a $0 because you don't need TurboTax to file a UBI report.

Palmer Luckey. Many of the things he discusses, he brings an interesting angle I didn't think of, and has changed my opinion on numerous topics. Great orator.

A cool use case; you can tell ChatGPT voice to act as a translator. When they speak Spanish, translate it to English. When you speak English, translate it to Spanish.

Works pretty good.

According to Binance, he owns 90%. Whether he is CEO or not probably doesn't prevent him from influencing Binance operations to support Trump's coin.

> Physical exercise is wasteful compared to other things that can be done with ones time

The human body is meant to move much more than society in 2025 compels it to move. There are countless studies on health, mental health, longevity and quality of life that refute your statement.

What are the variables that prefer local GPUs vs cloud inference? Is connectivity the dividing line or are there other variables that influence the choice?

Anduril submersibles probably need local processing, but does my laundry/dishes robot need local processing? Or machines in factories? Or delivery drones?

This reads like it was written by a developer 'who doesn't get marketing'.

> Nothing you post there is going to change your career.

I can attribute millions of dollars in revenue to LinkedIn, as can a lot of my 'LinkedIn friends'

> Doing work that matters might.

This is a pre-requisite for winning on LinkedIn. The kind of content that performs best are strong opinions informed by actual expertise.

> Go for depth over frequency.

Unfortunately that's not the way marketing works. 95% of your audience is not 'in-market' and ready to buy when they see your content. Sometime over the next 3-5 years they may move into a buying lifecycle, and they are much more likely to trust you, and therefore buy from you, if they've seen your content 1,000x vs a couple of long reads.

> If writing online matters to you, you’re probably better off starting a blog and building things there.

Your long form, in-depth content lives on your blog, and your LinkedIn profile should act as a funnel, moving people from newsfeed --> your profile --> the most important piece of content you want them to read. From there, you can capture their email to touch them on another channel (inbox), push them to your YouTube / Twitter / community, etc.

With that said, while LinkedIn is responsible for a significant % of my total revenue, it's also responsible for a significant % of my anxiety. Building in public invites folks to publicly blast you if they don't agree with your ideas. 'Getting ratio'd' happens. LinkedIn eventually becomes a mentally exhausting slog. But as a career driven individual the upside has been very high and I think the trade off was worth it. I would do it again knowing everything I know now.

I built a Facebook group / community of my target market.

0. Created Facebook Group

1. Optimized my FB profile as a landing page for this community

2. Join all of the other similar groups

3. Send friend reqs to prominent members in other groups

4. Post statuses on personal profile / in FB group creating value for this audience

5. Funnel / invite people into the FB group

Launched 2 products, both failed, but the community came through for me.

#1: Got to $14k MRR in 8 months

#2: Sold ~30 annual subscriptions with a PPT pre-launch

> My weight is stable but each time I go to US for a couple of weeks I bring back 3-5 extra kilos

I live in Spain and visit the US yearly, here are my thoughts:

A) "Being on vacation" and eating / drinking a bit more loosely than I do at home.

B) Significant reduction in walking. In Spain I average 60 minutes/day on the low end, and often at 90-120 minutes/day. In the USA, it's maybe 30 minutes.

> I've seen no justification for the government deciding that from 2022 on we should actively discourage R&D, it just seems to be a mistake.

My understanding is that this was done in order to balance the tax bill passed by the Trump admin due to a requirement to be budget neutral. Cut tax revenue here, increase tax revenue there.
