I believe there are two scenarios possible. Your kindergarten teacher and D.J. Trump (and Obama, et al) were all appointed in their roles by God. Or neither. I don't think the president is one bit more important or special than any of

I'm aware of the phenomenon, but thanks for letting me know about its name. It looks like people on the upper arm of the K are not only experiencing the economy differently but are also grotesquely unaware of the lower arm.

I'm building something that's not very far from how you describe (and how I also used to see) Medium. What do you think could have prevented its downfall?

Yet if I open X, I'm being told constantly that my European mind can't comprehend how poor we are and the richest European country is poorer than the poorest US state.

I have rather deep concerns about our future with AI. Yet, I'm still sending hundreds of dollars to US companies providing it. I'd much rather send it to EU companies.

"Burning" €13.5M of public funds. That's 4000 times less than the Cursor deal from a couple days ago. I was actually surprised by how little it was.

I will be. Thanks. By the way, Walnut Creek is less than 100 miles from Cupertino. I love walnuts.

I remember when Google buying YouTube for $1.6b sounded crazy. And then when then-Facebook Meta bought WhatsApp for 10 times that. $22b. Are there any companies left that are not in the decabillion range?

Yes, I have nothing against rewarding merit. I just also believe that those who are rewarded have a sort of a duty towards the rest of society. And you can't really say that, because instantly you're attacked with "so you wan
