Many firms beat the market spectacularly, and in many different ways. Berkshire Hathaway, Renaissance, Jane Street all have their niche and make fabulous returns. So the premise seems flawed, similar to asking "why do VCs invest in sta

Conway's law gives a good framework for understanding this lack in the US. In certain countries, everything needs to be under a single careful eye. In the US, it is preferred to have many different companies sprouting at once all aroun

I will recommend my kids go to college outside the US unless they get into a household name university. It’s not worth the money anymore. If college was about education surely a benevolent government-university axis would conspire to lower

The rule of law and civil courts specifically are much stronger in the US than PRC, although there are many ways that you can get screwed with contracts here too. A common saying is that every bankrupt contractor takes out another business.

Altman is a household name because AI has captured the public imagination. People naturally love drama. This story happens to have a wide ranging audience, high stakes, and most importantly lots of posts on X.
