> I am absolutely for banning electric cars from underground garages, ferries, long tunnels, and so on. I’m very glad you don’t write laws.

Dropbox wasn’t a new idea either. rsync had existed for many years.

Switzerland is impossibly expensive, and immensely bureaucratic. The Nordic nations are lovely but so cold. Iceland is one of my favorite countries ever. But I could never live there.

Is there anywhere that’s not true for?

Thank you! That’s the dumbest shit ever, lol.

You missed my point - on any of these 1000 or more, did they change anything or stop them? If not, then it’s largely just procedural, at least in effect. That’s my point.

Oh, sure - that I’d believe. The royal family has historically been the prototype for “above the law.” But I meant I wasn’t aware of any cases in which (in our lifetimes or relatively recently) the royal family had put their thumb on the sc

What? Please clarify, because at first glance it sounds like you’re making an extremely racially charged analogy? And no, it isn’t necessarily a sorry state of affairs; having to sit through a talk you’re uninterested in is hardly a terribl

> That mechanism has been used to change laws - in your lifetime, on this side of the century. I have no bone to pick, not knowing anything about the royal family, but do you have any examples of this happening?

There are also a lot of ways a company could fail due to randomness. In fact, many more failure modes than success modes. Startup success definitely includes some luck, but luck alone does not define success. Clubhouse is a great example of

I’m not so sure. Everyone used to have a Dell/Sony/IBM running Windows. A decade later everyone has a MacBook. It just has to be much much better.

That is not true. Even humans work out, causing pain, but do so anyway because it makes the body stronger. Muay Thai practitioners roll their shins and smack them against trees, causing pain. Anxiety often induced animals to cause pain to t

Depends on how much you cook and how good you are at it, right? When I was a kid, I was damn proud of "discovering" Sub7 and using it to fuck with all of my friends, teaching them to do the same. Years later, I would "disco

While you’re not completely wrong, one of my main reasons for travel is exploring and understanding other cultures. That requires immersion, granted, and concerted effort to avoid the “TripAdvisor lists” unless you have no other ideas at pr

Well, and perhaps more importantly, they took the Fed at their word that they wouldn’t raise interest rates, which they then raised.

It was. This is nonsense. SVB was not a high yield bank like Ally or others.

Precisely this.

No, it isn’t. Small business owners, for example, also have assets often greater than $250k, as do engineers in the valley, as do tech startups, as do franchisees, etc.
