It's so pipe-dreamy that I used it for an hour today through SF rush hour traffic. Clearly never going to work though, right? right???

It's not the same at all. Do you know how an IPO roadshow works at all or are you just spouting bullshit?

How would the stock be harmed by them selling better performing or more relevant ads?

In what way would that be securities fraud? I guess you could get nailed under Section 17(a), but really hard to make a case they're defrauding investors by representing they were going to make ads worse performing than they ended up m

Single example is worthless. Is there a pattern of this happening far more often? Overall, do fewer people get incorrectly arrested or detained as a result of this technology, or more.

By this same argument ANY police makes life hard for regular people because they sometimes fuck up, so let's just get rid of police too. What's the worst that could happen.

"This just looks like a pitch to investors" The goal of public companies is generally to generate profit for their investors.

What is an "obvious reason" one might not want to log into X? I can't think of any rational reason.

Yes? It's the data source, not a third-party. How is this even a question?

Here is the actual link, not a link to some weird third-party site that can't be trusted. https://x.com/RonanFarrow/status/2041127882429206532

If you become massively rich from working somewhere, then suddenly discover your conscience when you're fired, you're bitter, not principled.

No, principled would be refusing to sign the exit agreement and forefeiting the money, then writing the book.

This is cool, like qmd as a service with real-time integrations where it matters? How do you handle more structured data like csv/xlsx/json? Would be cool if it were possible to auto-process links to markdown (e.g. youtube, podcas

The author clearly hates Thiel and spends most of the essay mocking Thiel and his ideas without actually engaging with the ideas. The author’s essay is itself meandering, dense with digressions and snide parentheticals. He faults Thiel for

Under what circumtances is the US allowed to pull out of a war they didn't start, which does not directly involve any US interests, in which we have already invested $110bn? Never? Not until we spend another $500bn we don't have?

It is an absurd position that the US should be on the hook to indefinitely pay for any war anywhere in the world forever, and if they attempt to negotiate peace while pulling out of that war that they are siding with the opposition.

by jamiequint 2y ago
There's a difference between "siding with Russia" and siding with negotiated peace. Many people seem to think that the US, and to a lesser extent the EU, should fund this war indefinitely. However, the US clearly does not ben

First, VCs don't get paid when "dogshit startups" get acquired, they get paid when they have true outlier successes. It's the only way to reliably make money in the VC business. Second, want to give any examples of &quot
