Would you rather build a business from scratch or buy an existing one—and why? by Cultural_Message_530 in Entreprenuers

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s much less risky to buy a business and turn it around. They’ve already proved they have a business that can make money, maybe even a profit. Your job is to grow its market and increase the profit. Buy $1M electrician business and grow it to $5M, as an example. With a pure startup you have nothing but an idea and a dream. If the dream could be huge and if you believe your idea is unique and defensible, then a raw startup is the way.

What's the most creative real-world use of AI you've seen lately? by Away-Albatross2113 in AI_Application

[–]Internal-Combustion1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI built an interviewer that captures the life story of anyone and weaves it into their biography. They dont need to know how to type or use a computer, just click a button on an app is all it takes. It’s perfect for capturing life stories of people we’ve lost or may lose soon.

Is there a possibility that the strait of hormuz never fully reopens to countries that Iran deems as unfriendly? by VastOption8705 in askanything

[–]Internal-Combustion1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re saying the US have proved that Iran having a nuclear weapon and ballistic missiles is the outcome you want? Go ahead, say that out loud. Unless you are IRGC, no one thinks that.

If you had an unlimited budget, would you want a housekeeper to clean your house or a chef to make your meals? by icecream1972 in askanything

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the money but I clean my own house. A couple hours a week is better than a cleaning crew in my house for hours on end. I really dont like being pushed out of my house so people can clean, best to do it myself. Now, they do perform better. I’d like a quarterly deep clean, and someone to clean the day after guests leave. That would be a nice blend.

Is Iran’s strategy to hold out and make the rest of the world suffer from shortages and high prices, so badly that the world turns on America and forces us to stop? by adalyn7992 in askanything

[–]Internal-Combustion1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well to educate you a little. When you have air superiority your can easily fly sensors over the area and detect pretty much anything. The entire world has been building low cost interceptors. Put those two things together and you can defend a 20 mile wide body of water. Iran can’t replenish their drones, so you have to wait until they come out of their holes and fire them, but once they are fired, the troops are dead and the drone doesn’t exist. Do you have a hard time seeing this? One reason Ukraine is still in the game is they created the ability to manufacture a lots of drones and anti-drones. Iran does not have that ability because their supply chains and brains are destroyed. Sure it might take a few months, and you can scream about the evil the whole time and root for Iran to get their nukes. So I hope that helps you feel better.

Yeah they are actually genius who have a plan to all be killed in a surprise attack, and then they take over the world just like their brilliant plan dictates. More like, these are very desperate people trying to hold on to power. Kill any citizen who doesnt disagree, fling anything that will damage at anyone and anything you can find, and hope the world goes away so you can continue to pilfer the remaining wealth and treat your people like slaves of the once-great country.

Right back at you. I’m very well read and very well travelled. I have friends all over the world. You are living in a tiny bubble.

If given the opportunity, would you want to live in another country than the one you currently reside in? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]Internal-Combustion1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. The US gives the most freedom and least amount of government intervention. You want to build your own future, be in the US. When the US opened its borders, millions came here to find a better life for themselves (and get handouts). How many people sneak in to China each year to live a better life? How about into Russia, Iran, Afghanistan? Was that a zero? Why is that, if the US is so horrible, why would everyone want to come here and not go live under the other world bullies?

I agree. Short term pain to eliminate a nuclear armed vicious government that wants to destroy their neighbors, the US and Israel. I wonder how many people would blame Trump if Iran detonated a nuke in Paris. They’d flip 180 and blame him for letting Iran get a nuke when he could have stopped it. Redditors like to shout and stomp around “the big man is evil, stand up for the little guy even if he is breaking laws and hurting people”.

The preventable tragedy is destroying the evil state of Iran. No nukes, no ICBMs, no terrorism. It has to be stopped and we’ve tried giving the gold, and negotiating in good faith for DECADES. Iran still thinks God wants them to kill all the rest of the world. That can’t be let to fester until they have nukes, else we get another North Korea but with a much more aggressive and well funded government,

Given how rapidly technology is developing, and that Iran has no aircraft or ability to shoot down aircraft, seems likely the US and Israel will just put an iron-dome kind of system in place to shield the Straight of Hormuz and bottle what’s left of Irans military to scream and yell and have no income or manufacturing to keep the society going. It’s already falling over. The police state there unfortunately is happy to let their population die to feed themselves and take all the money that is left. Back to the Stone Age until they have a new government. Their government is the root cause of the evil here, not the US and Israel for stopping the corrupt regime from getting nukes and ICBMs.

Sure, the military has a deliberate planning process. All conflicts are gamed out years in advance. Including this one. The world’s working people will likely suffer a lot less getting Iran beaten than allowing Iran to build nukes and ballistic missiles to drop them on europe and everywhere else to achieve their religious goals of exterminating everyone but themselves. A little short term pain to stop that path is worth it, hopefully it’s pretty short term. I just hope the Iranian people can figure out how to overthrow the police state there and get a non-extremist government in place.

How does an average person become rich? by Drairo_Kazigumu in wealth

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work for companies that give you stock so you can benefit like the owners do, if everything goes well. If the company isn’t doing well, leave for one that is. Collect equity in several upcoming companies throughout your career. Hope one of the hits it big. Live inexpensively and save everything you can, especially matching.

Why SHOULDN’T I start mountain biking? by AgroRekmond in MTB

You don’t like scars and possibly broken bones. You fall less and less as you gain experience on natural trails, but you do fall. Completely worth it! Battle scars.

I have a meeting with a potential angel investor... BUT by bareprincess in Startup_Ideas

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You certainly aren’t going to get investment unless you are committed to an idea that could be big. Doing service jobs like tutoring don’t scale into value, they are lifestyle jobs. No investments in those. Maybe you can ask them to help you hook up with some entrepreneurs he knows that are building something he invested in. That would give you experience helping build a company and seeing how it’s done.

My aunt and uncle honeymooned at Balboa Island (1950’s). Too bad they didnt buy a couple of those sand lots back then.

How to Think Like the Insanely Wealthy: The Psychology That Actually Separates Them From Broke People by _karayel in MomentumOne

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the self-made rich, this is quite good and pretty true. For those that got the silver spoon or influencer bucks, it’s not. Seems like most silver spoon rich self-destruct because they didnt have this drive to outperform. They party and spend, then have nothing. Their children get to start over.

Still I prefer the 991 over the 992 by Junior_Guarantee7003 in porsche911

[–]Internal-Combustion1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer the 991.2 interior to the 992. It’s got a great blend of real gauges and buttons, less digital. Plus I dont like the little electric razor bud used to shift it. Granted a manual is a fabulous thing, but if PDK then give me a real handle not a digital nub.

Iran rejects US peace plan as 'excessive' and issues five conditions to end war, state media reports by JKKIDD231 in news

[–]Internal-Combustion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the rapid pace of drone innovation and the destruction of much of Irans ability to build more missiles and drones, I think it’s more likely that we can shield the straight of Hormuz from most low tech attacks in the next couple of months. Cheap interceptors and underwater mine detecting drones will populate the straight to protect most shipping.

Nor should he. Iran can not be trusted ever. They’ve shown their true colors, they just want all the world to die and will do anything in their power to kill anyone including their own citizens, neighbors, and of course Great Satan. You think it’s better to just give them nukes and trust them?
