Evlenirsen pişman olursun. Evlenmezsen de pişman olursun. Çocuk yapsan da yapmasan da pişman olursun. Kierkegaard bunu 200 yıl önce şöyle söylemiştir: "Neyi seçersen seç pişman olursun. Çünkü sorun tercihlerinde değil yaşanmamış bir hayatı romantize etmendir. İnsan her daim gidilmemiş bir yolu cazibeli ve gizemli bulur. Bu yüzden mesele en doğru seçimi yapman değil. Hangi pişmanlıkla yaşayacağını seçip karar vermendir." Sen neye karar verdin?

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules: 1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand. 2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark. 3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby. 4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free 5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort. 6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work. 7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you. 8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn. 9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them. 10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out? 11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long. 12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny. 13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again 14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own 15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy Good luck !

If you could add one feature to the $DOT staking dashboard, what would it be? #Polkadot #Staking

Les hommes dangereux coûtent cher à affronter. Les prédateurs testent les cibles faciles, s'attaquent aux adversaires bon marché et méprisent ceux qui ont l'air inoffensifs. Construisez votre corps, votre capital, vos compétences et votre réputation jusqu'à ce qu'entrer en conflit avec vous ressemble à une facture que personne n'a les moyens de régler.

Daniel Kahneman: the day Saddam Hussein was captured, the same news "explained" both the bond market going up and going down. Treasuries rose - Bloomberg's headline said the capture made the world safer. Half an hour later treasuries fell -the new headline said the capture boosted appetite for risk. Same event, opposite stories. The market moved first; the pundits reverse-engineered a reason. That, he says, is how financial commentary actually works. "Our confidence comes from the coherence of the story - not the evidence behind it." "The conclusion comes first. Then we believe the arguments that support it." "System 1 is largely indifferent to the quality and amount of evidence." ~55 min, free. why the market's "explanations" are stories told after the fact ↓
Daniel Kahneman - the psychologist who won a Nobel in economics - spent his life proving one thing: your confidence is lying to you A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. The answer "10 cents" jumps to mind instantly. It's wrong (it's 5 cents) - and ~50% of students at Harvard, MIT and Princeton say it without checking. That gap is his whole point: the fast, intuitive mind builds a clean story from almost nothing, and the feeling of certainty has nothing to do with being right. "Confidence is a feeling, not a judgment." "Stock pickers can't develop intuition - there isn't enough regularity for it to form." "You can build a very coherent story out of very little information." ~45 min, free. how your mind fools you - from a man who studied it for 50 years ↓

It can be useful if you feel you have too much money and you want to lose some

The idea is interesting, but the question is even more interesting: why would I want to buy tokens if I have cash?

JAR: no token
Replying to @SurrealTrader
If Polkadot is building the infrastructure layer of Web3, its core protocols should aim to be like the Internet's: useful, open and invisible to users. HTTP: no token. TCP/IP: no token. SMTP: no token. DNS: no token. DYOR

Radio Taiso (Radio Gymnastics), a Japanese sport frequently recommended by trainers, is highly effective for maintaining shoulder health, correcting posture, and strengthening the shoulder girdle.

Nassim Taleb sat down with Daniel Kahneman - two of the sharpest minds on risk ever - and the takeaway was blunt: stop trying to be smart Kahneman's prospect theory explains why almost nobody can do what Taleb does We're wired to hate the steady trickle of small losses his strategy needs - even when one huge win more than pays for all of them So you structure it the other way: tiny safe bets plus a few wild ones, never the comfortable middle. "You'd rather be antifragile than intelligent - any time." "Trial and error is really just trial with small error." "Make your gains in small bites. Take your losses all at once." ~1 hr, free. two legends on risk, prediction, and how to win without forecasting ↓

Vous devez impérativement vous préparer mentalement au pire. Les circonstances ne seront pas toujours en votre faveur, et votre survie dépend de votre capacité à encaisser sans vaciller.

The scariest thing about people is how rarely they know why they do what they do. They call it loyalty when it is fear. They call it love when it is hunger. They call it morality when it is weakness. If you want power over your life, stop trusting explanations and start studying patterns. People reveal more through repetition than confession.

The brutal thing about growth is that you do not only upgrade your life. You expose the people who were uncomfortable with your growth. Some will mock you. Some will moralize your ambition. Some will act concerned when you become harder to influence.

Nothing exposes a man like a little success. Watch his voice change, his patience shrink, his spending loosen, his old friends become embarrassing, his appetite grow, and his humility become performance. Success does not corrupt people, it exposes true character.

Voici un mécanisme que les négociateurs d'élite et les espions maîtrisent à la perfection : Confiez un faux secret sur vous-même. Une fausse confidence, un détail calculé qui semble vous rendre vulnérable. L'effet est immédiat : votre interlocuteur va baisser instantanément sa garde. La confidence appelle la confidence. C'est un réflexe social profondément ancré dans notre biologie : nous détestons la dissymétrie informationnelle. En croyant détenir votre vulnérabilité, il se sent en sécurité. C'est précisément à ce moment-clou qu'il vous livrera une information réelle et exploitable sur lui-même. La vulnérabilité simulée est l'une des armes de pénétration psychologique les plus sous-estimées.
