Some have, e.g. Daly City. The issue is that the rent is skyrocketing because people are desperate to live in that tiny patch of land that is precisely walking distance to their and other startup HQs. It’s a massive network effect.

I interned at Sony in Tokyo one summer. I was hugely surprised that nobody had heard of all the animes and cultural icons that I thought were household names — Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, etc etc. There’s a huge bias in t

> Ethics is now inside the corp. fence so it has to be heard. Do you believe this is a viable trend? This debacle seems to point to the death of 'Ethics research' inside of corporations. What do companies stand to gain from hir

This is a very tame reading of the mistake. Telling customers that their stock orders would be executed at prices matching other firms, when in fact Robinhood was executing those orders at inferior prices -- that's a big misrepresentat

I wish! The self driving delusion is more than alive and kicking. It’s just that the hype is moving from the vertically integrated options (Waymo) to the disaggregated ‘stack’ players (Luminar, Scale, Aurora)

This. I have been arguing the unpopular opinion that most AI ethics work in corporate settings is not designed to empower real research. It was a matter of time before an actual researcher with an ethical compass was removed unceremoniously

All things considered, is this truly less complicated than a hand written handshake contract? The real solution is risk mitigation through deposits and payment plans. Put another way: how good is a smart contract if it’s easy to create a de

I feel the complete opposite way. I’ve had to witness my grandfather’s Windows 10 laptop just be absolutely trashed by malware that used all the saddest tricks like fake “log in to Facebook” windows. It’s absolutely horrendous and in my opi

Ballots take weeks and in some cases months to count. We’re all familiar with projecting/crowning a winner with the understanding that it could change. But the way we use won in almost all competitive contexts involve a high likelihood

I think this is definitely the western assumption from events like this, that the regulators want a cut, etc. The real risk here is that once you grow big enough to pose a real risk to economic stability, AND you are clearly not publicly pl

What are some examples in the DBNT category that created unicorn startups? I know lots of DBNT that happened inside of large companies (e.g. Bell Labs). What are some examples of cases where the companies were able to create massive market

The whole point of a standup is to create a cadence to work. But if you don’t enjoy that invented ritual on at least a certain level, you’re probably not going to benefit from it.
