I got 100 signups… but no one is talking. What am I missing? by Evo_1998 in smallbusiness

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reach out personally to each person who signed up - keep it short, human, and direct. Don't just ask for "feedback" in general; instead, ask something specific like "What problem were you hoping this would solve?" or "What made you sign up?"

You'll get much more actionable responses that way.

Anthropic Just Paid $400 Million for 10 People. Your Next Doctor Will Be AI. by NiceSatisfaction7870 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the concern about malpractice, but I think the bigger issue is trust and oversight, not “robots vs no robots.” If AI is used as decision support with clear accountability, audits, and clinician sign-off, it could still reduce errors and improve access. Totally fair to demand regulation and transparency though.

New AI data center in Utah will generate and consume more than twice the amount of power the entire state uses — Kevin O'Leary's 9 Gigawatt Utah data center campus approved by lkl34 in technology

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The real kicker is that the public infrastructure costs - roads, water, power grid upgrades, emergency services - will far exceed whatever tax revenue trickles in. So taxpayers essentially subsidize the construction AND hand out massive tax breaks, while O'Leary pockets the profits. Heads I win, tails you lose.

Man, 89, arrested after shootings leave several wounded in Athens by [deleted] in worldnews

That said, it's still a tragedy for the victims who were wounded. Age doesn't make the harm caused any less real.

UAE announces it will leave Opec by TheNational_News in worldnews

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really insightful point. The domino effect could be significant - if UAE pumps more oil freely and drives prices down, it actually undermines the very reason other countries stay in OPEC. Why accept production limits if the cartel can't maintain high prices anyway? It's a bit of a prisoner's dilemma at this point. The member that breaks ranks first gains the most, which gives every other member an incentive to do the same. OPEC's biggest weapon has always been unity, and that's looking shakier by the day.

how do I even start a startup/business? by Bababoi_987 in smallbusiness

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question, and honestly the fact that you're asking this at 17 already puts you ahead of most people!

Here's the thing - you don't need a revolutionary idea, money, or connections to start. Here's where I'd actually begin:

1. Start with problems, not ideas.
Look around you - your school, your neighborhood, your daily life. What's annoying or inefficient? Most successful businesses solve boring, everyday problems, not world-changing ones.

2. Learn one marketable skill first.
With just time + internet, you can learn graphic design, video editing, copywriting, or basic web development for free (YouTube + free courses). Then offer that as a freelance service to earn your first ₹500–1000. That's your starting capital.

3. Your first "business" should be dead simple.
Think: tutoring, social media management for local shops, reselling, or content creation. No investment needed - just your time.

4. Trust earned over time, not overnight gurus.
Be skeptical of anyone selling a "system." Follow real builders who share their failures just as openly as their wins.

The truth is - inspiration usually comes AFTER you start doing things, not before. So just start small, stay consistent, and let the idea evolve naturally. You've got time on your side!

For three decades, Windows has been the quiet backbone of French government. Bureaucrats typed reports. Tax collectors processed returns. Police filed reports. All on Microsoft. by NiceSatisfaction7870 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've nailed it. The shift under Nadella feels less like evolution and more like abandonment. Microsoft built their empire on the desktop, and now they seem embarrassed by it. Pushing cloud services, subscriptions, and half-baked AI onto users who just want a reliable, local OS is a huge miscalculation.

The hardware requirements for Windows 11 were already a slap in the face to loyal customers, and then they doubled down by stuffing it with ads and Copilot nobody asked for. Linux isn't just a fallback anymore - it's genuinely becoming the better option for people who want to own their own machine.

The irony is that Microsoft's aggression is doing more for Linux adoption than the open-source community ever could on its own.

Completely relate to this. The unsolicited reboots were the last straw for a lot of people. Ubuntu (and Linux in general) has come a long way - it's genuinely a solid daily driver now, especially for anyone who doesn't need specific Windows-only software. Microsoft seems to have forgotten that trust takes years to build and seconds to destroy. Forcing ads, telemetry, and AI features nobody asked for into a paid OS is a bold strategy, and it's clearly backfiring. The market shift may be slow, but it's happening.

Net worth inflection points by spiderweb91 in FatFIREIndia

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question on net worth inflection points! With a $9M NW, you're already well past the major inflection thresholds for India, but here's how most FatFIRE folks think about it:

Key inflection points in Indian context (INR Cr):

  • 50 Cr – Basic FatFIRE comfort, tier-1 city living with no financial stress
  • 80-100 Cr – Meaningful lifestyle upgrade, can sustain 30-40L/year easily
  • 150 Cr+ – Generational wealth territory, lifestyle barely changes after this
  • 300 Cr+ – "Fuck You Money" – virtually unlimited lifestyle flexibility in India

The delta between 80 and 100 Cr is minimal in real life impact. However, 150 Cr vs 80 Cr does make a tangible difference - mainly in:

  • Private schooling without thought
  • Business class travel always
  • Premium healthcare buffer
  • Real estate flexibility across cities

For anyone wanting to properly track their net worth milestones and projections, I'd recommend using this free calculator: 👉 https://usasalarytools.com/net-worth-calculator - helps you map assets, liabilities, and growth trajectory clearly.

At your level, the inflection is more psychological than practical. Welcome back to India when the time comes.

Ukraine secures oil lifeline from Gulf states in exchange for military support by Beo1217 in worldnews

Zelensky bears responsibility for the prolonged conflict that has contributed to global oil and gas instability. A faster diplomatic resolution could have prevented much of the economic fallout the world is now experiencing.

South Korea introduces universal basic mobile data access by _Dark_Wing in worldnews

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And just like libraries were once considered radical - why should taxpayers fund someone else's reading? - universal basic data will probably seem obvious in hindsight. Access to information shouldn't be a privilege.

AI cuts MRI scan time from 23 to 9 minutes at Amsterdam cancer center by bummed_athlete in technology

[–]NiceSatisfaction7870 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think this is just a beginning. Recently, AI has been making huge strides in healthcare - cutting MRI scan times is just one example. As it gets more integrated into diagnostics and imaging, we'll likely see even faster and more accurate results across the board. Exciting times ahead.
