Flying Dog from MD did the same thing Craft beer grew quickly since the mid 2000s, helped along by PE money, and now it's time to cash out Apparently 2023 is the year to cash out

I'd love someone in one of the "strategy" arms in one of these funds to explain what they think the end result of this is at it's extent? Do they believe that eventually these will be sold back to single families to buil

>sold to Sapporo in 2017 Ah, I was wondering where the pressure was coming from. The idea that this 150 year old brewery is closing down a truly cornerstone beer in craft beer history because the label art is expensive - despite weatheri

It’s possible with a cooperative model that has no equity associated with it (no incentive to change hands), and the data is legally owned by the data producer (the individual) So for example if all data between a user and a service is e2e

I’m with you here. I was in the world record secret Santa and it was the funnest coolest thing ever (they sent me my world record letter even!) Pre-subreddits, it felt very similar to HN (which they ofc have the same birthplace) and the rea

It's as simple as inequality - fix that and all this goes away We've seen this over and over and it's blatantly obvious what the problem is - too few people control the wealth of the world and that wealth is used to buy contr

This is precisely what happened, it happened long ago though and has been the driver behind actual physical war more-so than any other factor that I can tell. I'm admittedly kind of annoying with the frequency for which I post it but I

It important conceptually to align "commons" with "new markets" because in practice they look the same with respect to consumption. Fishing is my favorite theoretical example here. Assume you are a fisherman looking for

by AndrewKemendo 3y ago
Yes that is a logical extension If you think of a three dimensional manifold as the unexplored state space of a new market, then the exploring:exploiting process maps areas of the manifold into “known” and “unknown” It takes effort to explo

I don't disagree, but Twitter never had a site wide Billion user blackout If we blackout long enough and then figure out how to cooperate to create an actual community alternative in the blackout period, it could work Not easy and will

This is a concise way of describing the problem I think
2864.
by AndrewKemendo 3y ago
Fair, however I think if we just assume that the community is what is important then we can bootstrap into a new "clean" architecture - but that's going to take leadership and someone with cash to spin everything up over the

Ha yes this is a common response when I say "My trash cooperative" sign of the times I suppose I should probably just say "recycling cooperative"

What if all the blackout communities move to an open source, community funded, community owned and run version of Apollo? I’d be happy to try and convince my 100k community to Apollo and if the UX is similar for web and mobile then I’m not

That’s correct There is no objective and constant set of universal rules for what defines ownership because it’s a made up concept Unless you’ve ingested something to burn for calories, or destroyed something then nothing is strictly and fo

Almost by definition right? My Reinforcement Learning metaphor for equity finance driven startups is that they are the exploration process for capital seeking perfect ROI. After they find a new high margin process they exploit it to maximum

That’s a fair response, though I hope you’d agree that in the context of discussing pass through Vs see through “black” the majority of use cases are indeed fully occluding/lit LCDs near eye and not ML style lenses.

An LCD simply turns "off" to display "black" - so the emissions stop (relative to surrounding pixel emissions) With a projector, you can't "throw" nothing (aka black). As a result "projected black&quo

Off the top of my head: 1. Field of view is limited to existing optics miniaturization 2. Subtractive shading (rendering black) might not be solvable 3. Variable focus objects in the same scene requires projecting n>2 significantly diffe

In theory the wavefront emulator is the simplest display - all of the "pixels" are rendered in your brain so you don't have to build an actual "display" HOWEVER if someone can get the input -> photon production p

Yes "projecting black" is effectively impossible - every once in a while someone from Magic Leap would claim they had solved it but everyone knew it was bullshit
