You really think the world is better off with every halfwit creating due art? If that were the case Beverley Hills would be a bastion of culture and progress. Instead what is it? Oh yeah, a hedonistic playpen.

To be honest, most executives wish they could fire 10% of their staff. Once you get to even 30-40 people, 10% of your staff are almost inevitably dead weight. Unfortunately you can't mass cull without causing morale issues. This period

The problem is you could have said the same in the 90s for veggie burgers. Existing and slowly expanding doesn't mean it hasn't been a flop - especially considering the monumental amount of capital & hype that was put behind p

I don't know how you equate "speculative value" with "valid projects". Bitcoin has value because people are long on crypto. "Long" has an end date - just because it's 50 years instead of 10 years does

With most technologies, I find the heuristic of "how will this technology help improve your average suburban consumer's life, or those serving them" helpful. Internet? Great. Smartphones? Yep. Electric Vehicles? Kind of. Cryp

That's what it always was. Just instead of what's bothering Musk, it was what's bothering Yoel, Vijaya and San Francisco Liberals This is the problem of having core global communications infrastructure be centralized

Um, they did - China was the global superpower for most of human history. Western (read: caucasian) dominance is a relatively recent phenomenon. And even that dominance is thanks almost entirely to the Islamic golden age that preceded it. A

I mean - you’re wrong. 20 years ago America and Europe dominated the world - today the US is growing increasingly perilous politically and Europe is little more than a museum, irrelevant by the day. The collective economies of Canada, Europ

Lesser of two evils but I haven’t used google maps in years. Apple maps has done everything I need and is far better from a privacy perspective
