Can you say more about how you got the idea people want to be scheduling meetings? I find I often want to bail out of meetings, not encourage them.

What if there was an AI that hand-picked resources for me to read?

Is "basic food" enough without "basic shelter"?

Maybe Gmail does, but not all mail services do.

It wouldn't be that hard to add a 1x1 invisible pixel in the message footer and see how well it works.

I doubt Zach himself agrees with his article's title.

Because the title isn't his point.

His point is, and I quote: "What I think is bad is that there’s so much pride and focus on The Best of the Best of the Best, With Honors."

Which doesn't conflict with 10x. If 95% of the world's best software is written by the top 5% of programmers, the programmer who isn't in the top 1% and barely made the cut at the top 5% is still exceptional.

It's true companies seek pain avoidance rather than pleasure seeking behavior. But pain avoidance also gets you Windows instead of Linux or Mac.

If the question Zach is asking is: "is there such a thing as a 10x engineer?" the answer is yes.

The story from philosophy class was educational though.

An optimization is to notice which side you wish the coin lands at before it lands.

It's not about economics. It's about foresight.

If you are working on something that will grow big 10 years in the future (like AI), and it takes you only 6 to get there, why can't that be a success?

What happened to "you'd better get a co-founder"?

> it doesn't matter who invents a thing, what matters is who uses the thing to bring actual change to people.

They both matter, and you need both. They come with a different price to pay, and a different reward.

Breakthrough business model?

With a great house, you can make more money from several bids at $150 than you would from a market using neighboring prices against you. The buyer doesn't have to be local, and they can sell it afterwards at any price they want.

It's the force that counteracts location, location, location. It's easier for a buyer to be from as far a location imaginable.
