Best idea I've seen in years on space solutions, specially at colonization. No marketing bullshit, just plain science. And it may be the first practical step on terraform a planet before we try to colonize it. "While it might seem

Maybe one thing lead to another. By making your customers and employees happy, you make your investors happy. The money makes sense when you need to scale fast. Specially in the development stage, when you don't make a dime yet. With t

I like your idea (actually i practice it), but your investors aren't putting a lot of money in your hands so you keep it at the bank to them, right? They could do that for themselves. By experience you don't need years on cash to

I think the "walls" could be your expectations. The world is just the world, but it's your job to define what's that you want from it. And your actions play a very important role in the outcomes. Sometimes different are

I can relate to you. Ten years ago (with 20 yo) i was playing WOW and skipping college. Before that, i was playing competitive Counter Strike and doing bad on high school. Today i look back and think: if i studied and worked more, i would b

I'm with you, but i believe we will see more and more huge user data sets being stored on clouds. So maybe the future will be a hybrid model between SSD local drives (for day to day files) and cloud for mass user storage (like photos,

I agree with you. When i was younger (until 25 years old), i played a lot (GTA, WOW, Counter Strike ...) and i have this inclination to think that games always have some realism inside then. In fact it's quite the oppose. What makes ga

Of course we want. But to see why, you can't imagine it as a car, like everybody insist. It's will be a vehicle, but not a plane, a drone or a car. They will not compete with these. We definitely need for example a faster way to t

Let's back to basics. How do we cover the needs of one person? Better, how do we cover only the need for food? You need to produce rice, beans and meat. How do you produce all that? A lot of ways ... but you need to produce. And that w

I think that's why poor countries suffer so much. Our rulers don't understand basic economy and money. Look at Venezuela right now or Brazil. Our rulers think they can just print money and distribute it. But the truth is: money is

No, but he "lives" in a $40B company. Money is not an asset in it very essence. The financial instruments you put money in are. Money for money is pretty much useless if you can't convert it onto assets.

Right!? Like, i have tons of respect for the guy, but the amount of press and attention that they get just by saying "we are going to mars" are crazy! Nothing practical to show, i would be more interested in a mission to build up

i don't think anxiety is a form o fear. Fear is the lack of response for a given situation. Fear don't let you do your job, for instance. Whereas anxiety is an response (sometimes even physical) to the future, and it's don&#x

Best way i found to find people to evaluate my business ideas was putting up cheap ads on internet. Started with Adwords five years ago. Then you drive them to an landing page where you ask for the sale. But right before the purchase, you s

Mediocrity is an illusion. Elon Musk "level" is an illusion. Musk for example, is a great entrepreneur but just an average (maybe mediocre?) husband: had two wives, divorced three times from the same, is that even possible? Now do

Maybe with a less stress, fewer hours culture they would have even more success in the long run. But how can we know that? I think we need leaders willing to take this kind of risk at their companies. Because the outcomes could really chang

I think it's because they mostly spend money on current customers not new ones. To attract new customers they probably use another ways (like SEO, cold call, and so on).

You've missed the point. The judge is in his right to punish the company, you don't have to defend that. But to punish ONLY the company, not it's users. He could impose heavy financial penalties, for instance. But affecting t

I don't think everything is a fairy tale. Lots of our true happiness comes from basic things like security, eating well, education and good heath. In the current system, money can grantee you most of that. An advanced capitalist countr
