I don't think it's just a "market" thing at this point. Reality is if you're not a Tier 1 VC, which CRV really isn't, then you cannot get into good deals that would make any sense.

I'm wondering how we haven't solved "securely leaving packages" at this point.

Having to coordinate with delivery drivers is difficult if you're not home, which is often the case unless you're WFH.

Seems like every front door should be designed in some way to securely leave packages by now.

It's not missing the point. The point is that a lot of people live with chronic inflammation caused by poor lifestyle choices and that results in many diseases later in life, including Alzheimer's.

The point is that chronic inflammation is bad. The comment I'm replying to isn't recognizing that it's just saying "oh inflammation is fine because it's a response to injury" which is very much missing the point.

There is a huge difference between inflammation in response to injury and chronic inflammation caused by lifestyle choices like poor diet.

Uh not really.

The unique part here is that in order to even have the chance to buy a bag you need to develop a relationship with a sales rep and buy a bunch of other stuff. The more other stuff you buy the higher on whatever list they'll put you and when they get a bag in stock they'll give the chance to buy to whoever they have a positive relationship with and who has spent a lot of money.

I think you're missing a key point here and that is you have no chance of buying a Hermes bag unless you have a relationship with a specific sales associate and buy a lot of other stuff there. Very few other categories of goods can get away with something like this.

In some ways Rolex is like this but Rolex is relatively high production volume and there are many situations where you can get lucky and buy one relatively easily, especially now that the hype has died down a bit from 2021-2022.

You don't have to believe social media creates mental health issues or exacerbates bullying or whatever.

The biggest problem is that it's a massive distraction from learning and also enables cheating, especially now with AI tools.

I literally said a room in a shared house. no one is spending $4k on a room in SF.

You're not renting an entire apartment for $1200 anywhere livable in a large metro in WA or NV.

What's expensive about living in SF these days?

You can fairly easily find a room in a shared house for pretty cheap, and you don't need a car.

I don't really see how moving out of state somewhere where you might rent a place for slightly less but then tack on a car means you save money in any meaningful way.

This is silly because it doesn't take into consideration all the health issues that are alleviated when people stop overeating and get down to a normal weight

so you think if they came out and said we have created AGI there would be no changes in stock prices to any stock that has anything to do with AI even if they are already "huge"?

people said NVDA and FAANG was huge 5 years ago.
