Normal countryside villages actually work really well as an accompaniment to cities. Ironically, the most desirable villages build densely around a small core and the farms spread out radially around the village itself. [1] https:/&#x

I don't blame Canada. The country is running out of space really fast and they lack the technology to build more than 1 floor of house. Unlike massive countries like South Korea, they can't fit 50 million people. Can you imagine b

I'd go 1 level deeper than that. Agriculture isn't a real market at all. It is closer to govt infrastructure contract work, than selling a commodity. There are no wins, juts minimized losses. Govts decide farming subsidies, allowa

The only value of having a knee-jerk 'startup' going is to not appear unemployed. If it's for the optics, then I'd just move the dates of my previous side-projects around and call it a faux-startup. It's not lying.

I believe the doom-n-gloom around all of tech is rather overblown. There are sectors of tech that will absolutely struggle. Gig-economy companies won't ever meet their valuation. Negative PE ratio startups are realizing that hyper-scal

It doesn't have to be this way does it ? Startups don't have to comprise merely junior employees. Sure, the senior employees rarely have a skill-for-skill match to your profile. Startups can't afford that kind of redundancy.

Tesla has a similar operating margins as BMW or Mercedes, which makes sense because they only sell premium cars. Once Tesla starts selling Prius & Corolla competitors, their margins should go down accordingly.

The market cap of the 7 big car-companies combined (Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, VW, Ford, GM, BMW) = $557b. Tesla market cap = $527b. This means at comparable margins, for Tesla to reach its current valuation, 3/4 cars sold in the develop
