I don’t know what Steve was thinking, but the desire to try alternatives is not necessarily just woo based thinking. Chemo and surgery are not just a walk in the park. I’ve seen people do chemo and surgery and then just die anyways, having

A typical startup would require the consent of a majority of the investor shares for a sale of all the assets, so there would be investor protection and consent to this type of a transaction. And indeed this article says “Almost all of Suns

In my experience, the alternative to a pay to play or similar situation in which the old investors get hosed is the company dying, so they get hosed anyway. The fact is, a messed up cap table or zombie company is not attractive to new inves

I think most of the pro-Israel crowd legitimately believe that Israel's interests are aligned with the U.S.'s interests. The same with Canada, the U.K., and Australia. We share a set of values. Israel does a lot of dirty work in f

Compared to past standards, Trump and Biden were arguably both too old to run in 2020 and had obvious signs of age-related cognitive decline. But they were regular old, not senile. Biden clearly got much worse throughout his presidency, dec

Trump’s success is largely a reaction. The democrats need to change and run a compelling alternative, and I see no evidence that will happen any time soon. The democrats and the left have, among other issues: - refused to run legitimate pri

I am not going to argue that many members of the "American Right" are not racist. Many of them are openly and disgustingly so. But we are talking about half the country, and a group that has as many in-group differences as the lef

Twitter and the terminally online need to touch grass and overemphasize things that the real world doesn’t care about, but, to an approximation, it is the vanguard and real world talking points, political trends, etc, are all downstream fro

I have a good sense of what Waymo and Tesla’s capabilities are, but not Zoox. Can anyone here clue me in on how Zoox compares?

I’d guess they are trying to limit power draw given the smaller battery. It’s a trade off.

I’d get the Air but I really like the 0.5x camera. I’m disappointed at how the Pros keep getting heavier.

VC is a marketing game. You want to be attractive to founders, so that the best founders/companies come to you and want to choose you.

There is nothing I can see which suggests the shares have positive value. The FAQ I linked directly says the opposite. Nothing is suspect here, other than journalists and internet commentators making assumptions based on misunderstandings.

Doesn't that just mean the Common was underwater and worthless? It’s another way of saying they are due $0. Edited to Add: Yeah, the above seems right. This seems like standard fare. See the below FAQ from https://philzcoffe

Predictions about the future and puffery are not illegal. Lying about facts are. Nobody knows how far away AGI is, everyone just has their own predictions.

The administration seems to be deliberately making the deportations as cruel and scary as possible (CECOT, Alligator Alcatraz, etc) as a means of deterring future illegal immigration and encouraging self deportation. I haven’t looked into t

Apologies if I misread your post, but by calling Sam a psychopath in the same post, it seemed to imply that you would have offered her treatment that he did not.

While I am wary of AI being used to pump out crappy papers with bad science, I will say that many academics can be good in their fields while being quite bad at communicating clearly. I don't think it's a bad thing for a good scie

I quickly adapted and this barely slowed me down. I recommend the following iOS apps: 1. Jomo - you can create block lists of distracting apps. Like OneSec, when you try to open a blocked app, it makes you wait 5 seconds or more. More impor
