Do VCs invest in companies doing the same thing? (I will not promote) So I have an investor meeting next week and the venture I’m building is very similar to one of this VCs existing portfolio companies who they just invested in. However, the one we’re building is more defendable, scalable, has more revenue angles and ultimately does a better job of solving the problem at hand than their portfolio company. I have two main concerns: A.) This meeting with the fund is instead an information fishing exercise from them to gain more information on their portfolio competitor. B.) They feed information... 4 6 replies
Thinking about my younger self I'm 25 m, I'm on my bed at 3 AM staring at the ceiling and letting my thoughts consume me. Until one thought absolutely sent me down into a spiral. I saw him, the face of my 10 year old self looking so happy, so proud of cleaning his own room, so proud of his grades, so proud of finishing a doodle on his sketchbook, filled with dreams. If he saw the man that he would be 15 years from now he would be mortified. A man that was... 3 0 replies
Photos Backups for Multiple Family Members I want to back up my Photos library and my wife’s Photos library to external storage, but I don’t know how to ensure hers are backed up without manual intervention. I have a personal Mac to which my original photos are downloaded. I enabled ‘Optimize iPhone Storage’ for my iOS devices. My photos are backed up in multiple ways: - Time Machine (backup of internal SSD) - Carbon Copy Cloner (backup of internal SSD) - Carbon Copy Cloner (backup of `Pictures` directory in which my Photos library is stored)... 1 0 replies
Considering Publicly Building a Stock Technical Analysis Tool I am considering publicly building a stock technical analysis tool. So for example you enter in a stock ticker like ZZFMG, and the tool will list its analysis i.e.: "Moving Average-Bullish crossover occurred as MA50 crossed above MA200 (Golden Cross), indicating an uptrend. MACD-Positive histogram and MACD above the signal line indicate strong bullish momentum. ....." If such a product was built, would it be very useful to you and how much would you be willing to pay in monthly subscription? 2 0 replies

6 and a half years ago, I prayed, "pls no, not today." Breakfast was biscuits from the top shelf because the basement kitchen was flooded and our cook couldn't commute. We had no electricity like the rest of Kerala, and the overhead tank was running dangerously low for the 50 of us in the building. We waded through the water to school with the principal who was also our warden to shift what was left of the lab equipment and CPUs to the library upstairs. I remember the feeble jokes we cracked to lighten the mood. "Watch out for snakes" one... 3 0 replies
Is it a fair to say that Indians face tremendous pressure from family when it comes to marriage? Ok I got into an argument and I wanted to know if my observations were relatively accurate or coming off as racist. I'm from the US. At my University's pre-med program a huge percentage of students were from India. During the time they were in the US, many of them developed relationships with Caucasians. Almost all of them were pressured by family to break off the relationships eventually and marry someone the family approved of. This lead to a lot of heartbreaks and eventually most Caucasian girls just started... 2 7 replies
Best way to create an archive/backup of my Apple Mail to the cloud In the light of the recent fires in L.A., I've been looking at ways to create off-site snapshots of important files. My email archive is definitely important. I have multiple email addresses on my Mac so that complicates things immediately. I've also organized the forty years of old email (yes, that's old stuff but I've saved myself a lot of grief being able to pull things up from way-back) into folders. Often folders within folders. So, while organized, it's complicated. I already have a time machine backup of everything... 3 0 replies
MBP and MBA running 15.3 -- Safari not syncing -- which MacBook has "priority / seniority" so to speak? I can create a note in the Notes app on the MBA and it shows up on the MBP and vice versa. But I can't create a folder and put bookmarks in the folder in the *Favorites* of Safari on the MBA and have it show up on the MBP, even though I have Safari to be synced via iCloud. I have tried toggling Sync to iCloud till I'm blue in the face. Both are running macOS 15.3; MBA is M3 and MBP is M4, though the hardware shouldn't... 2 0 replies

Are there any Indian movies that are an actual musical? I'm a westerner that watches a lot of Indian movies, and I've notice that despite how prevalent musical numbers are in Indian cinema, I've yet to see an Indian musical. In Western musicals, the musical numbers drive the story and used every time there is a strong emotional beat. But this rarely seems to the case in Indian movies. Most of the strong emotional beats in Indian movies are done through dialogue, and the only time musical numbers tend to be used for emotional moments are when it's for... 2 10 replies
If AAP wants to survive - they have to really develop Punjab In Punjab they have more power. They have to show what they can achieve that they weren’t able to do fully in Delhi because of LG. And use that narrative in other states to expand. I’m sure Center will try its best to punish Punjab in all ways possible and Congress will try to divide AAP. So let’s see - I for one am rooting for AAP to survive! 1 0 replies
