Why you seem to think Maven will target civilians is beyond me. If you build better recognition systems for drones they will be better able to mitigate collateral damage. Is this not exactly what you want?

What a luxury to be a pacifist. Definition of 1st world privilege.

Name 1 Major thing NATO or the UN has done without US support. The idea that they have any power outside what the US sanctions is to be pretty ignorant of the reality of power in world affairs.

Elon Musk is some kind of enlightened prophet to most techies despite mountains of evidence that he is a shitty person running shitty companies.

You think the US itself doesn't do this?

Startups lasting longer would have nothing to do with this? 0-2 Years represents "New" startups, so the number of new startups is declining.

Read the actual report. The Uber system registered that emergency braking was necessary to avoid a collision but the brakes were not under the control of that system. https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports&

The human operator was responsible for braking in this situation and failed to do so. https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Pages/HW...

In fact, as anyone who has read the NTSB report would know, a Human was responsible for braking in this situation and FAILED to do so in time. The above discussion is irrelevant and results from ignorance of the facts. From the report: &quo

I'd love to see their data, I'd bet that people making six figures or more make up less than 1%.

Given a sample size of 1 I don't think there's much to be discerned form the data at all either way. > There is no evidence that they are anywhere close to surpassing human... Famous last words.

I am not an investment advisor But you can approximate the returns you would get from real estate appreciation by carefully investing what you would spend on a home (down payment, taxes, mortgage etc.). Though if theres a major downturn t

https://www.hussmanfunds.com/comment/mc180604/ This was recently posted on HN and gives a good overview of indicators to look at though it's pretty blatantly alarmist.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. I definitely see HNs pro-at all costs-SV bias but I think it's a website dedicated to tech news and not income maximization? Oh and I can't smell any of y'all so that isn't rea

The problem with this assumption is that you imagine all minimum wage workers are 18 year olds living on their own. In reality there are countless(millions?) of people trying to support a family on those wages and are forced to turn to gove

Their entire analysis hinges on counting benefits as wages. Sorry but my health insurance doesn't pay my rent or put food on the table. Also given that health costs in the US are wildly inflated this analysis seems lacking as health in

FWIW as someone working in tech in Texas I would say that Austin is probably only 30% more expensive than other cities in Texas overall and has real estate maybe 20% more expensive. Meanwhile it is far and away the major Tech hotspot here w

I think you are missing the point, VCs, the corporate entities DJF, Sequoia etc are not landlords. But their millionaire/billioniare founders and partners almost certainly are.
52.
by jimbofisher1 8y ago
Why is this a conspiracy theory? VCs are very wealthy and at least in theory financially savvy so they probably have a diversified portfolio of investments, some of which is definitely real estate. Seems obvious to me.

Rates of indebtedness, quality of debt(AAA, BBB ratings etc), stock market overvaluation, real estate overvaluation. Take your pick, conditions are very similar to 2007. Whether anything actually happens is the trillion dollar question.
54.
by jimbofisher1 8y ago
You are probably missing the fact that many VCs are likely heavily invested in Real Estate and this chain simply loops back to them, what incentive would they have for changing the status quo? VC -> Startup -> Employee -> VC/L

His assumption is that Corporate Profits which are already at all time highs cannot be sacrificed in order to pay workers more and keep prices level.

by jimbofisher1 8y ago
Given that Corporate profits have been at all time highs recently I think their responsibility to their workers is obviously being circumvented in order to increase shareholder value. You are stuck in this Corporation first mindset. You oug

Rents/Real Estate costs in the Bay Area are artificially inflated because of zoning laws, nimbyism and general lack of supply.

This is just total lunacy. Have we reached peak VC yet? If not I have a startup that is building a warp drive even though its totally theoretical and the technology to build one is 100+ years away. Throw money at me please.
