I don’t think there’s such a thing as a solved space. Obviously you need to bring something fresh to the table, but if this were true, then that intern I worked with back in 2000 would have been correct in his assertion that Yahoo was so po

I saw a density map for the Tokyo area compared to California. Tokyo is equivalent to taking the entire population of CA and packing them into the city of Los Angeles.

As wrong as the original spirit and intent of these predictions are for 2019/2020, I’ll bet many will be common place by 2030 and most by 2040.

Haha, I know - I should have added a wink emoji after that statement.

I’ve read about this form of government in Snow Crash. High speed pizza delivery seems to be a good investment.

Are you referring to the ballot initiative process in CA? If so, what do you think doesn’t work?

Do aircraft carriers count in this context? They’re reasonably expensive to produce.

Exactly, FB should use the same tactic as Apple here, not try to make themselves look better (which is an impossible task at the moment).

I’m pointing out that neither company here has the moral high ground. If you’re bashing FB but defending Apple, then you too, are being hypocritical.

by joejerryronnie 6y ago
Both companies are being hypocritical. FB is of course trying to spin their image to be the “champion of small business”, when the only thing they care about is ad revenue. And the only reason Apple is so pro-user privacy is because their b

You may not use dollars locally but most international transactions are priced in US dollars, giving the US a tremendous amount of influence in the global financial markets.

China is significantly upscaling their army in terms of numbers, technology, and capability - and will be a real threat to the US in a decade if left unchecked. But for now, the US army has far greater destructive force and reach than China

Well, we still have the largest and deadliest army in the world (by orders of magnitude) and the US dollar is the world’s currency. So, while our diplomatic influence may have waned a bit, the US still exerts the lion’s share of hard and so

In the Bay Area, I can roll into a high end dispensary that feels like a Beverly Hills wellness spa. The breadth of product is amazing and the associates are super positive and knowledgable. Almost feels a bit bougie :)

This seems like publicly available info. Should I receive a royalty payment every time somebody views the value of my home on Zillow?

With biomedical and technological advancements, this scenario is highly likely. At some point in the future, I can envision almost a divergence in human species - those who age naturally and live similar to how we do today, and those who’s

I thought Jack Ma was smarter than this. He stepped down as Chairman of Alibaba precisely to avoid running afoul of the party. Yet he then disparages the party ahead of Ant’s IPO? Wondering how long until Ma is charged with fraudulent beha

A co-worker’s parents were visiting her in the Bay Area from their home in Vietnam. They planned to stay for a couple months to help with their new grandchild. Then covid hit and Vietnam locked down. They’re hoping to get home by Christmas.

It’s also the byzantine vendor sourcing process that many gov agencies use. They end up hiring companies who are experts in navigating that process vs companies who are experts in the actual competency required by the project.

Well, there are 2 models of SW development you can use here: 1) 30 top notch engineers to build the MVP and then iterate. 2) 300 engineers - the first 100 to step all over each other trying to build an app and the remaining 200 engineers fi

And when this boondoggle inevitably fails, and Europe falls further behind, the EU will reach for their tried and true hammer - protectionist laws and regulatory capture.

I think the most successful model is when large gov agencies (DoD, NIH, etc) fund core, basic research and then intermediaries (Research orgs, Universities, etc) allow that research to be spun off into private companies. Stanford’s approach
