In addition, lithium is very likely to be supplanted by other, hyperabundant chemistries long before any shortage of lithium will be felt. Sodium batteries, especially given their great thermal properties (so they don't need nearly as

Yes i do have a very specific thing is mind but i don't want to sound like a typical American pie-in-the-sky founder so i'd only apply once we have at least a crude working prototype.

What is your position on hardware-rich startups? Especially those that plan to manufacture here in EU? Defence/mixed use tech. Are these too much of a pain/unscalable/little monetisation potential, or OK?

Question is: why? Why anyone would count calories (a method that our grandmas used and it never worked for anyone ever since), in the age of GLP-1?

Why incorporating in Belgium? Let's revisit one big benefit of being in Europe: plenty of countries, very different tax regimes. OK forget Hungary because it's one more little MAGA land, but there are also Malta and Cyprus that ha

Let's not overstate it. GenAI will build itself into software development pipeline much like code completion did in 90s or proper IDEs with debuggers having breakpoints and things, in the 80s. To the point of becoming invisible a few y

A friend of mine was determined to make an actual career as a writer, and she gradually followed the money switching jobs in the direction of those that paid the most. She now easily makes upwards of $15K per month writing, sustainably over

Can't upvote this enough! Most people habitually build those overcomplicated things, and THEN base them on clouds where they will be 40x-200x more expensive to run than on dedicated machines, as a result, getting things that are fragil

Why not just introduce a competitive, market-based system and let the market decide? Give a monthly subsidy to every woman for having a child until the age of 18, regardless of marital status and number of children, and fund it by a flat pe

In case of India vs Pakistan, isn't the situation clear? India and Pakistan are sworn enemies and the conflict between them will never cease for as long as both nations exist. And a clean victory of India over Pakistan, is possible, ev

A lot of training of the birds, by modern standards, would be illegal just about anywhere, amounting to animal cruelty.

Trump acts as if the world was strictly zero-sum. It's almost frightening to see his tactics working - perhaps indeed, for the most part, zero-sum it is.

This. Even worse: every good idea is the one that looks bad to a layman, otherwise there won't be an opportunity there: if an idea is obviously good, a lot of people already came up with it a long time ago.

Not really. That might pertain to angels but not to VCs. They don't operate with private (individual)owned, post-tax dollars. They are businesses and operate with pre-tax, business money, not even theirs - but bank loans.

Feudalism wasn't at all about people. It was about land. That's the principal difference with slaveholding: in a slaveholding society, principal asset is people, and the land is usually cheap, just worthless unless you own slaves

Don't get why people do that. I propagandised it a lot when i got on GLP and keep telling people how it changed my life (and how it didn't, too).

We live in the world where there is no such thing as a negative publicity. Just look at Trump. People take notice apparently. After all, we all know that funded startups are just a pump and dump game. It doesn't matter whether the thin

These are good ships. They suck for peacetime with poor reliability and high running costs, but in wartime that's not important, ships will be sunk by the enemy too often to worry about their reliability (just as no one cares much abou

It's obvious that they can work. But they are also a lot more expensive to use, by definition single-use, and also uncover the position of their controllers too obviously especially if they launch many drones from one position which th

With the rest of Artemis cancelled they won't even need to do any of that. Starship v3 could deliver astronauts to the Moon and back in a single-shot, expendable configuration with direct ascent method, by far the simplest, using Drago

I wouldn't agree with you if there was no alternative. But since there is an alternative - the Starship - which at least in expendable form, is ready now - continuing this waste made no sense at all.

I don't live alone, and in general i'm not against the idea of someone doing it for a fee, but $14k!!! It's a fucking annual minimum wage. Also, as for driving a truck, sure it sucks driving a truck for days, but shipping a 2

True, but it's easy to see that effects of smoking are worse than those of heavy drinking, it's just that they typically appear later in life.

How much one needs to make to justify the shocking $14K moving bill? I made north of $1M last year and never in my fucking sane mind i'd pay nearly as much! Worst case, it's a matter of renting a truck and moving things oneself ma

Maybe we should look at it differently. If there was no patenting, only way to create drugs will be know-how: just keep contents secret and there will be no copy-catting. But that's not allowed: they can't sell drugs without telli
