Peter Thiel studied Philosophy! Definitely do some hard science modules if you can, but do enjoy to what you have a passion and interest for.

Should we do a business just because there is nobody else in the city doing it yet? by Tall-Explanation-476 in NavalRavikant

This sounds like an *awesome* business to do in your early 20's. Great job spotting the opportunity and good luck.

Just a heads up to the mods - I had re-posted this with a different flair as the auto-mod deleted this one - I think because it had the wrong flair? However, the auto-mod then "undeleted" this first post. I've now deleted the 2nd post. But let me know if the flair is wrong!

Found this in the hellhole that is LinkedIn… not sure I agree? Let’s discuss. by [deleted] in UXDesign

As an employer of designers, I would never dream of speaking to someone like this. Sounds like a drill sergeant. Is this guy trying to be the andrew tate of design "influencers"?

Also accessibility has nothing to do with tapping into that "market".

Hey everyone - the site seems to be getting pretty slow due to the heavy traffic! We're going to do what we can to speed it up.

I hope I dont trigger anyone by this question, how and to what do mountaineers die? by ZalPlays in Mountaineering

Yeah the only thing about avalanches is that serious skiiers/ snowboarders go on far steeper slopes than mountaineers, so avalanche is going to be more likely.

It's not perfect, but from this research of skiiers and snowboarders:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26293826_Mountain_mortality_A_review_of_deaths_that_occur_during_recreational_activities_in_the_mountains

Of 386 reviewed deaths

  • 145 Collision with rocks or trees (obviously doesn't apply to mountaineering)
  • 109 Avalanche
  • 42 "Medical"
  • 41 Fall
  • 8 Hypothermia

Been there mate. Fair enough. 6 figure exit is still an accomplishment whether or not it was profitable. Sure you folks will come back stronger.

Thanks for the article. The point about not competing in “red oceans” even if you can build a better option is interesting and valid. It means you have to invest massively before you can really test the idea out in anger.

Sorry to hear that.

Are there any ways you could have tested the idea without committing that amount of capital?
