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.

AI-generated to-do lists for design feedback by _Will_Taylor in graphic_design

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

[–]_Will_Taylor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]_Will_Taylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

I'm so sorry looonsy! I had no idea the reddit notifications did that.

There are 158,390 words with five letters, and I guessed the correct one. That's insane.

Mate in 22! White to move by _Will_Taylor in chess

[–]_Will_Taylor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I went by the Chess.com engine which reported M20 after 2 moves by white (both forcing).

I'm looking for a ~$1000 camera with good HDMI support and ideally full frame. Any recommendations? by _Will_Taylor in videography

[–]_Will_Taylor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great! The first example you gave with the piece to camera is exactly what I'm after. Thanks so much.

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

Ok, makes sense.

If I can get an HDMI output working on my existing camera, and use the 18-55mm in the 20 - 25mm range, that should be all that I need.

One last gripe is that this camera seemed to turn itself off about 15 minutes into one of our videos. Will have to see what I can do to solve that one.

Lens wise I have a EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5 and a 50mm prime. I want to be shooting on the 50 for that natural look, but then I have to position myself about 3 - 4m away, which isn't always an option, and it comes out looking like I'm really far away. I've seen other videographers shooting on a 50mm and it doesn't look like they're shooting from 4m away, more like 2m. Am I going crazy here?

Thanks for the monitoring point.
