This is what bringing back supply chain looks like. I am not against it. What is happening is not great, but you know the whole necessary evil thing.. this is it. This will start with Tech, but will extend to other domains.

I had to make some assumptions - given the OP said they did not see any value in re-reading. Not every thing is a candidate for re-read, for the fact of the matter 90% of airport literature is not worth single read let alone re-read. Take a

In this case, what meets the eye is completely different from what is happening in background. The Melinda PR team seems to be doing a better job - but folks what you are watching is most likely a well funded PR campaign. It may or may not

Re-reading Pop-Psy and Airport literature is not the recommended reading. How about reading Hayek, Strauss for second time? How about reading man's search for meaning for the third time? You re-read great works, not NYT best shiller! (

Do not forget the Central Valley is also part of California.. the beach bros forget about the really hot and poor part of California suffers from high energy coasts. California is not just the Beach Bros in Malibu and Sausalito.

It's not what they eat, its how and when they eat (or not) is also important. One thing Taleb points out is things like practicing lent or religious fasting that is component in these cultures.

Paul Skallas puts more elegantly, 1KYAE. America exports its culture without even trying. Echos of BLM and MAGA can be found in many corners of the world. If you find it strange.. its not!

The luxury of inexperience make things seem real. This is very evident when 'crime' is an intellectual exercise vs. you happen to be victim of it. Both are 'real' but one is more 'real' than the other.

Death penalty is Lindy. I am not interested in some esoteric academic ethics argument.. in this, I want to hear, from people who lost loved ones - who are against Death penalty. Who endured and still endure the suffering of a losing loved o

Machiavelli in Context is amazing Audiobook/Great Courses, that points out this exact thing. The Prince is most famous but certainly Discourses on Livy is his biggest work.

They are already there. US will not be the first country to ban Crypto. The countries that are facing acute Capital flight post-corona would do that. US will use its regulatory regime to firewall crypto into its own thing. But if BTC become

VoltsWagen will make sense if its similar to Ionic (Hyundi branding their EV, PHEV lineup). Anything else is Carnival barking.

One of true skills of 21st century is to discern Science from Scientism. As a rule of thumb, 'respect my authoritah' is not a scientific argument. Relying on blunt tools of persuasion alienates people irrespective of scientific su

For the foreseeable future owning Fabs is fastest way to be subsidized by American tax payer. Intel may make it modular, but Intel will still own those fabs. I do not see them spinning fabs as separate business at least for the decade of 20

I know my examples are not shiny. I am not a Tesla fanboy, but I have watched Sandy Monroe interview Musk, and my examples show how deep and wide the innovation goes that seem trivial from outside.

One has to look at the sales of Non-Tesla EVs. You can get a lightly used Chevrolet BoltEV for USD $15,000. That is absolute collapse of the value. People get angry at Traditional Car companies when they put most of these models on limited,

Internet makes the smart smarter and the dumb dumber. Its an amplifier. Same thing with Twitter, you can find amazing independent content or you can end up with commenting and dunking the outrage story of the day.

Pretty much that. Most of HN is for Cultural Colonialism, but you know when it is dressed and wrapped in human rights and other bogus shit while buying Nikes and Apples made by real slave labor. Peak virtue signaling.

In the mother of multicultural societies - Nationalism is the fine thread that holds the thing together. India without Indian-Nationalism is warring states inviting new colonial powers for piece of action. This has been predicament of India
