I'll give Bezos credit, I've had good insight into 50+ companies from 5 person to 300k and I've never seen this level of accountability at anything over 10 people. The natural tendency for the average employee is to devolve i

The best use case for Amazon is having drivers put packages within view of the ring cameras. Then ring will know when someone steals the package. The home owner on their ring app would do the work of confirming the package was stolen.

After Exxon lost some control to investors, Buffet is trying to prevent the same thing from happening to Berkshire. He isn't crazy to be afraid of activists. Maybe they start with a climate change report request, but where does it end.

The awkward thing is that these people are projecting their insecurities. When they say "I really care about all the employees, here I am giving the janitor a $500 giftcard" I hear " I feel bad about letting several employees

If the average persons ability to capture a photo of bigfoot or a ghost or a UFO goes up 100x I would expect the number of photos during these sightings to go up some amount. Why would bigfoot go extinct at the exact time that everyone has

If there have been no advancements between now and 2024 and then Elon says that FSD is 2 weeks away. Is that the scenario you are asking about?

by bob33212 5y ago
I'm not saying that FSD was done in 2017. But, How long are you going to hold on to that one? In 2024 when FSD is working really well are you still going to say, "Yeah I mean it work now, but what about that tweet from 2016"

No one is saying that fiat money is perfect. This is a logical fallacy to jump to "Fiat has issues, therefore I will only own bitcoin". That is like saying "McDonalds is unhealthy, therefore I will only eat sand"

The message is loud and clear. If you write a book or say anything and then want a job after that you should expect no one to read the book except with the goal of finding the most offensive sentence and interpreting that as the most racist
