The missing the third ingredient which is passing rollback resistant legislation in its place that protects these freedoms. That makes efforts far more durable. Than it’s a matter of showing up in court to defend attacks against the law(s)

I realize, but that's my entire point: the durability of the business as represented by these valuations says nothing meaningful about YCombinator startups other than they aren't building alot of highly durable businesses.

This is one, at least technically. Though in practice I'm considering more like what you see in China, where they have very strict capital controls. The Remittance tax has an enormous amount of exemption businesses (because no institut

That chart is telling about the durability of this business, but do we actually know the precise point at which YCombinator as an entity sold out? For instance, I know Coinbase may be down -22% from the IPO price, but that doesn't mean

I'm not, in the least. I'm aware of the supply chain issues and CVEs etc. One thing I want to separate here is number of packages is not a quality metric. For instance, a core vue project on the surface may have many different sub

On the pricing bit, I have to say edge driven SQLite/ libsql driven solutions (this is a lot of them) can be a mixed bag. Cloudflare, Fly.io litestream offerings and Turso are pretty reasonably priced, given the global coverage. AWS wi

The bigger problem is the experience. There are some integrations you simply can't do that Apple and Google, as their respective owners of the platforms, can. Full device backups for instance.

I don't think the sell through of Android phones to the wealthiest has been all that high. Celebs, top business execs, even heads of nations state are most often seen with Apple devices in their hands. I'm sure not in every case
