I think it needs to be more radical. Paid lobbying is bribery, period. It's illegal to bribe a judge or a juror. It should be similarly illegal to bribe legislators. Outlaw the entire practice.

The US isn't even really building hyperloop. Even if it gets prototyped, it's not like governments are going to sign up. A generation of Americans were brainwashed that infrastructure equals communism. Nothing will happen in US in

The US system is worse than "capitalism will solve it." It combines everything that is bad about socialized medicine (regulatory red tape, bureaucratic overhead, slowed advancement, state-enforced moribund monopolies) with everyth

The underlying cause of both companies' issues is the same, and it's not organizational size and style. It's complexity. Bugs and edge cases grow exponentially, not linearly, with complexity, and both Tesla's cars and th

CockroachDB's license is exactly what we're studying. We're also eyeing their technology for future use, though for the moment stock PGSQL still wins due to query complexity. I'm curious to understand why you're so

We've thought about it, but the alternatives we have considered are those that restrict cloud SaaS monetization. Mu guess is that you don't like those either. We are a commercial venture and licensing to for profit users is curren

Author of LF and founder of ZeroTier here. I think my write up was a bit wordy so here is some more TL;DR: LF is like etcd or consul (or so far just the data store aspects) but for decentralized systems that can be run by multiple parties a

When you compare it to median income it isn't as affordable as it seems. You can get a very nice house in Ohio for 200k but jobs there pay shite and decent jobs are really hard to get. Try paying that mortgage on barely above minimum w

The low amount of thought that goes into investing tons of money blows my mind. When I was younger I assumed investors did tons and tons of homework and had all kinds of domain experts, etc., but then I too got out in the real world and saw

Marx once quipped that capitalists would sell the rope used to hang them. The Chinese are really only nominally Communist (and barely even that) but that statement remains as true as ever. Finance has zero foresight.
