Imo, vertical integration is always great in the short term but it's a problem because in the long term it prevents competitors from getting a foothold. The thing to understand is that the benefits of competition isn't price. It&#

That would be an uncharitable explanation. Surely, you aren't going to also argue that the vulnerable people don't care about others? A charitable argument is that people who cannot get the vaccine for a medical reason probably al

Covid hospitalizations where half in the vaccinated group (as % of pop) than unvaccinated. That's extremely desirable when you're in a situation where you have do dedicate whole wings (and then some) of hospitals to a singular dis

Well, if say the vaccine gave 1/100 fatal lung cancer then a population study would show a decrease in covid deaths and an increase in lung cancer deaths though. It's only the case if the vaccine gave everybody slightly higher cha

Honestly, the thing I find more interesting is the "Social Deprivation Index" where vaccinated individuals were 21% "most social" and 19% "least social" while unvaccinated individuals were 15% "most social

Martha Stewart was convicted of obstruction of justice. The securities fraud (inside trading) charge was thrown out by the judge. It seems entirely reasonable to me that an individual could mis-remember their dealings of ~49k when they&#x27

What do you think OpenAI's valuation would be without Sam? I think there are other people that can do Elon's role but definitely rare.

That seems a bit risky for when the car isn't waiting for you at the terminal. At least with an ad it's obvious a separate company is involved. If you do all the payment through OpenAI it seems to leave them open to liability.

I'll give a hot take. The real advantage AI gives is cover to change current processes. There's a million tiny tasks that could be automated and in aggregate would reduce labor needs by making labor more productive. AI isn't
