   The EU knows it can’t risk a major energy supply (as evidenced by Gazprom running roughshod over Vestager).

   Yeah, this makes sense.

   Thanks for the reply! More efficient water tech and less lawn makes sense and I look forward to drilling down into the details.

   I agree and you make some good points.

   I’d be interested to see your sources and learn how increasing CA’s population will lead to less water usage.

   I think you’re going to see this more and more (at least with wealthy nations). And I think the motivation for war has always been primarily about profit.

   You could be right about vertical construction lessening the transportation burden, but there’s still the water issue. As an aside, I came across a Tokyo density map overlaid on a map of CA (Greater Tokyo Area, not just the city of Tokyo) a

   I’m not sure about 1-5 but I was actually worried about his succession plan when I read about his stroke.

   You’re assuming the CEO is not an uncultured bigot and xenophobe with life experiences that reinforce this condition.

    You’ve hit the nail on the head here. The desirable parts of CA are located typically along the coast with geographies which don’t allow unlimited expansion (lots of hills/mountains and water). No matter how many houses we build, the d

    I’d prefer a new Cybersecurity branch of the military with full funding and resources rather than Space Force.

    Ok, here’s my layman’s take from being in the general vicinity at the time - let me know if this has any merit. Linux was billed as the Microsoft killer when it began to gain prominence, but it never made real inroads in the desktop market.

    I always thought it ironic that Linux killed Sun rather than Microsoft.

    I typically agree but there are some places where this topic is a bit more nuanced and controversial - Hawaii for instance. We love visiting the islands but learned a while back that large parts of the indigenous population see the US as an

    The realtor isn’t really incentivized to try and make the largest deal, they’re incentivized to bring forward the deal which has the highest degree of successfully closing as quickly as possible.

    I can understand if you’re venmoing your buddy $20, but if your are transferring millions of dollars, and faced with that horrendous interface, you might think to consult the standard operating procedures.

    This happened to an empty conference room while I was working at Stanford. They noticed something was amiss when honey began dripping down the walls.

    When I used to commute a long distance to work, I had 3 strategic restroom locations along my route - a Target, a gas station, and a catholic church.

    Yes, I would say you are correct. For small/local businesses a sustainable business which continues to produce a reasonable profit is perfectly acceptable. For publicly traded companies, the expectations are very different and analysts

    While it’s true that various US and foreign agencies can (and already are) tap into communication networks, that is a very different scenario than what you see in China, i.e. the state essentially taking control of private companies wheneve

    Does it matter if they did? At this point, everyone has to assume the CCP has the ability to take complete control of any Chinese company it wants to (see Ant Group). I’m not sure why they even bother with the “monopoly” or “corruption” pre

    Yes, if there is no future growth in the market. Companies need to figure out how to expand their total addressable market or enter new lines of business.

    At what point are battery swaps going to become more feasible than charging a battery (or at least an additional option). I’d much rather role into a gas/battery station and have my depleted battery swapped out with a fully charged one

    Kara Swisher was reminiscing about a similar game on the early web called Lesbian or German Woman which always seemed to trip her up.
