Yeah - if you take it to the limit, and every small organization can produce/consume everything they could ever need in a local area; then of course globalization will approach an asymptotic “death”. This is like the “limit” of technol

What about one that uses the preconscious to detect criminal intent before it happens? Could file it into a sort of very small report

Except the whole point is that there’s a digital gold standard now. But in this case you can’t modify the gold-ledger to perform what is effectively fractional reserve gold-banking with Bitcoin. Give it 30 years, there’s no stopping math.

Unfortunately for that line of thinking, rewarding demonstrable success is quite literally the definition of meritocracy.

Exactly - is an hour of your time worth more to you when you use it on your own terms, or when an app takes it from you and donates it to advertisers under the guise of "interesting content"?

Largely the only intelligence group that still does anything meaningful to keep the US on par with other countries. Keep dreaming.

This guy is correct on all accounts. Sad to see his comment turn gray and magically disappear because his opinion is “unworthy”.

Need thousands of Raptor engines over the next 5-10 years. Payload will not run out, demand is there (Starlink, military etc.)

Thread is insane; he's checking to see who's doing actual work.

Didn't Kalanick raise that money for his "shitty ghost kitchen venture" after using Uber Eats to prove that the model would actually be more lucrative than the cab-service?

No, in cases where supply was not constrained, they absolutely did not.

What’s this got to do with sound money?

“Communication that can be censored is good”. You should be able to choose what you see, not what other people say.

Apple’s not a single dude working for $40 an hour into his broken savings account last time I checked. Downvote it all you want, money printing is the issue - not “capitalism”. Sound money eliminates this problem.

It’s a system where relentless money printing cripples it by forcing that perspective. You need to gamble in order to keep your shirt, or you need to raise prices. Simple solution is not to print money. Capitalism is not the problem.

They’ve been supply constrained for years; regardless of current events.

Can’t possibly let people go on any sort of subjective journey, can we?

Hand soldering is a pain, also - ALL those joints are going to be cold and brittle - use a heat gun/headers and the paste.

I can tell this will be a legitimately good niche product - just look at how many of the comments absolutely hate it or don't understand the use case.

This is California bro, if you’re not rich - you’re a transient. Somewhere along the lines it changed, and it doesn’t look like it’s going back unfortunately.

I haven't done this particular bone surgery, but I had my jaws broken and moved forward (sleep apnea) - not painful at all if you have a good surgeon. And in this case, they're moving it bit-by-bit over a long period of time. I im

You need to look at the ratio of price to interest rate over time, not just interest rate.

This guy is pretty much correct - businesses are the value-generation machines, usually there will be someone, somewhere with the skillset to maintain its operation over time for the business owner. And usually they are paid little.

So I agree with you, they can. But a lot of them aren’t 24 years old with no obligations who can throw away their stock comp on a whim, so it makes sense for them to complain. With that said, they’re all going to end up hybrid at best; it j

Yeah but let him complain, why get so attached to his interpretation. “Then pick a worthy goal”

Sure, I’m in Palo Alto - so’s the doctor. MMA is maxomandibular advancement. They make fine cuts in the upper and lower jaw, move them forward, and secure them in place with titanium bars. Sounds painful, really was the least painful surger

Absolute slow death - underweight, 50 AHI, CPAP pressure any higher resulted in aerophagia, any lower resulted in the soft tissue compressing my throat. Had the MMA done after three TPD expansions, now no longer need the CPAP, sleep a lot b
