In all seriousness, @jococruise.bsky.social is a truly excellent way for nerds (or anyone else!) to dip a toe into the cruise thing. The the community that's developed over 15 years of the cruise is welcoming and friendly. There are always things to do, officially programmed and otherwise. It's fun!

The loser has more in common with the winner than with the person sitting on the sidelines. The winner and the loser each had the courage to try. Both risked embarrassment. Both were willing to face uncertainty. Both were stubborn enough to continue. Success is endurance in disguise. It belongs to the person who can absorb the losses without absorbing the identity of "loser." It's the courage to start — and to stick with it — that is the real separator. Results tend to find the person who stays in the game. The sidelines are safe, but sterile. Nothing grows there. Related

7 Films I Love: 1. Perfect Days. Can you find enlightenment from cleaning toilets? After watching this Tokyo-based film, you might well think so. Perfect Days is beautifully shot and earned lead actor Kōji Yakusho (Shall We Dance) the Best Actor Award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. 2. The Wild Robot. This is a family-friendly, “This is so cheesy! Why am I crying?!” type of feel-good watch. This film was adapted from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated middle-grade novel The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. 3. Argentina, 1985. I absolutely loved this film. It explains the brutal story—… Related

Why, in his 1513 “Letter to Francesco Vettori”, does Niccolò Machiavelli so dramatize the simple act of opening a book? Why the stripping off muddy clothes, the donning court robes, the crossing a threshold into “the ancient courts of ancient men” where he asks questions of Livy and Cicero and they answer him? Because for Niccolò the thing was new. He had spent fourteen years running his intelligence on live human contact: Borgia’s menace, a king’s facial expression, a council’s mood... 1/ Related

Co-founder and CEO of Linear; previously principal designer at Airbnb, where he led the Design Language System, and founding designer at Coinbase.
Important for employees to ask some of these questions about equity before joining. Sometimes founders just don’t have their own experience these things so they don’t prioritize the employee equity. At Linear we tried to make it friendly as possible since the beginning: early exercise, 10y exercise window, reminding people about their 83b election, pushing back on 409a valuations, keeping company valuation in check and increasing over time, informing people about qsbs, and now running employee liquidity programs for all past and current employees. Quoting @deedydas Many startup employees do not recognize the sheer litany of ways that a founder can screw you over without you even knowing. Founder trust is one of the most important things to look at when you’re joining a startup. From cutting you out of M&A, screwing your retention pool, overdiluting your equit… startups Related

Spent a good part of the day repairing my electric lawnmower. It would be easy to find someone to do small engine repair on a gas one, and it would be easy to throw out a ~8 year old mower and get a better replacement that uses the same large batteries as my chainsaw. This does make me wonder how environmentally friendly this kind of electric tool really is. Anyway, it seems to be either a hall effect sensor problem or an off balance blade that's causing the hall effect sensor to think the mower is overloaded or has hit something. Runs fine without the blade it turns out. So I'll try replacin… Related

Historian at Stanford and the Hoover Institution; wrote Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative and Goddess of the Market, on Ayn Rand.
Their words
Over time, they all come to share Ayn Rand's views and opinions on everything, from music to art, to clothes. She gets a dining room table and a bunch of them get the same dining room table, and it becomes incredibly conformist, because they've all believed they're acting rationally. And they believe that to act rationally is to agree with Ayn Rand and they believe there's no other way to make decisions than rationality. To disagree with her is to be irrational.

really happy to see my essay on Rosa Luxemburg’s herbarium in the latest issue of Lux Magazine (in very good company). It was a chance not only to consider her beautiful specimens, but also to read her letters from prison(s), a surprising mix of political fervor with mentions of “the titmouse with whom I am friendly.” You need a subscription to read it online, but imho Lux is something very worth subscribing to.

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
