I don't even know who liberals are. I'm out of politics. Anyway, what you listed is all incremental improvement with the exception of computer vision (which is still in the very early days still). Interstellar travel, colonies in

The human race has gone downhill since the 60s. No more Apollos Or Manhattans projects. This is just another example of the last 70 years culture. Taboos, abstractions, political correctness, pessimism and escapism are the symptoms of a sad

I also need to use the internet and apps and yet Android or Windows will never get a cent of my money, but Apple does. You're the target if you value what the product design emphasises. In this case, you're on the other end of the

I feel like MIT wouldn’t be MIT if it was named Maker School Just like Stripe and dev/payments Also, idk AFAIK the prestige is built upon exclusion + top notch research + beautiful place When you don’t have that, it’s hard to sell some

I don't know, feels like an airline trying to differentiate itself. It feels just like any other random university, maybe worse because the name sounds like a bootcamp. and it kinda feels like it is anyway. I would take the founder&#x2

A Mac and the iPhone 3G. A Tesla X would also be great. But I already mentioned those companies

Yes, but in the prior comment you just said you could present what you just bought off the shelf If it’s outlandish enough anyway, everybody will know there’s nothing like it. Take re usable rockets. In 2005 everyone agreed it was an outlan

I don’t know. According to personal experience and to Chamath and Peter Thiel, a lot of great people doing great things can’t raise anything beyond friends and family.

Yes I barely checked the index because the index I consider good from the UN doesn’t list them as the least corrupted ones. This is a perceived index. I’m pretty skeptical of Sweden, NZ and CA being corruption free. They don’t have anything

It should be pretty close to a math function. It must be 10x something great. If it’s supposed to 10x the speed of human travel, and there’s some plausible reason to believe there’s a chance it’ll work (TBD what exactly that is) then it get

You enforce the law on your citizens just like with any other citizen for any other financial crime. Usually one shows up at your door, then you go to court, etc.

No, because we’re not optimizing for ROI like VCs. You’d lose a ton of money funding 500 space Xs because they’ll all fail most likely, without even returning a percentage point

Very concerning reply. While you’re at it, don’t ever step outside or use a knife. You might injure yourself

by eaenki 7y ago
Again, name one company that has been world changing and raised the seed round in an IPO. None. And no, this is simply an idea that would offer funds to the vast majority, who don’t have access to VCs. 99.9% of VC funded companies are not w

I’m equally shocked by the fact that people value so much fictional piece of papers that are mostly borderline scams. I would exclude from that list only a handful of unis such as oxbridge, mit, Harvard and Stanford

You usually can make a prototype of literally anything with less than $10K. Education on the internet is free. And the internet itself is free at any Starbucks.

It’s nice as I said, but it didn’t impact anything, and most likely never will. Even if the whole internet switched to that, there’s no x10 improvement in anything interesting. Unless you think airplanes are as good as owning your data and

I see no relation between them and at $30B a year, that’s $10/m per American or smth, so... no?

It should come down to a measurable function

by eaenki 7y ago
Well, that would function as a seed round. And having a breakthrough would mean it’s proprietary. Aka you didn’t buy it at the hobby store. If you have a prototype demonstrating a breakthrough that’s enough imo. I can only recall Oculus fro

It would have been faster if you just replied with “CA and NZ”, since those are the only other countries on that list, which btw, I’m skeptical of.

Oh yes, you do, in the current envoirement. You compete for the same attention from retail consumers and enterprises. The price to reach said consumer gets ever higher + the usual monetary inflation. That's why every company is raising

Well, the twist is those are far fetched and they have a prototype. e.g If you want to build a reusable rocket and you already have something 100 times smaller, kind of working but not really and one contract to be paid upon delivery, that&

I find most universities to be borderline scams. The ones I deem not a scam, don't draw any benefit from that. I explained in another reply what I mean by far fetched products, which can be valued mathematically

Switzerland, Norway and who else exactly? Out of 100+ countries

by eaenki 7y ago
Well, I don’t think it’s a given that a mild potential product or a x100 investment product add anything. I feel like only far fetched products do, which usually resolve in a x100 ROI, but that’s a random byproduct
