Its a way to control the population if you control the transactions. It amazed me that people don't understand what they give up by not using cash. Cash is the ultimate privacy payment.

The difference is very easy to define and notorious difficult to solve: it is physics. And man is physics a hard problem to "solve". Welcome to the world of hard tech not easy machine learning models. Capital is in short supply,

They didn't have anything - not just the mechanical technology, the talent, the market, the capital, infrastructure or the use case.

The whole thing was lost on the mag 7 being unprofitable and that he was so sick of talking about AI he decided to take his shot at making money writing a book about AI. So many AI hucksters these days

It can run for another year or two. Long time to sit on the sidelines with your cash inflating away. This is the crux of bubbles - timing and where do you move assets so they have protection.

That is a depressing chart.

I just overlaid that with the immigration into uk with that chart (both from statista) - charts are disturbingly similar trend. I would hope that its correlation and not causation but its definitely eye opening and kind of concerning. Assu

Thats a bold statement - certainly possibly as a factor but to 4x it that seems unlikely. It sounds like you are callously dismissing valid concerns.

Doesn't part of your soul die when you start working for big tech? All that youthful energy and hope to push a potentially meaningless product. Such a sad thing to watch potential and idealism get crushed. I understand its provocative

Understanding people and companies incentives doesn't mean that it is inherently bad as you are implying. YC is also investing in a bunch of people and putting money towards new ideas. Lets not forget that innovation is difficult and

Wouldn't it be nice if some companies instead of ramping up ads for revenue passed along the value to consumers? Once they made their money back on the original investments convert to a lifestyle and provide a valuable product without

So anywhere in NYC but it must be targeting the UN /s. Also funny was that it was considered espionage at first ... but they found lots of drugs on site -- clearly not espionage.

One example - and very a extreme one to prove a point and not a very compelling one at that.

Or alternatively trying to not have an area run rampant with too many people living in a house causing fire risks. Or god forbid trying to plan a city for density, resources, school locations. Come on - zoning rules aren't some tool o

Those plans were already in place as a continuation and during a time when they thought tech would have a more coveted space in policy positioning. Watch what happens going forward -- they will re-plan investments (at least for the time be

Listen - I'm not saying that that isn't the logical response. I'm saying I don't see how an executive would go ahead with that plan thinking that there weren't going to be worse repercussions for their company from

I can't imagine that any company executive thinks the solution to the new H1-B visa is going to be outsource more employees (if they are a US Based company). That would be the antithesis of this administration and I wouldn't be s

For sure a great infrastructure build out -- lets hope the leftover are better energy infrastructure so that whatever comes next in 7 years after the flame out has some great stuff to build on (similar to telco bubble 1.0) and less damaging

Won't get you the necessary 4 9's uptime and energy sadly. Im still 100% for this -- but need another model for energy delivery.

That can't be real - wow. They were the company that rolled the vehicle downhill to make it look like progress right?

Pretty good comment. It's a spectrum right? So if you went all in on profits you are likely all in on tastelessness. If you profit a small amount your probably only shedding a bit of your taste. However I would wager the argument ma
