When you are two person startup with no revenues, you don't have luxury of going through arcane laws of each of 50 states. You are surviving on ramen in your parent's garage and you can't hire lawyers. As OP describes, there

Too many people are coming down on OP unnecessorily. He started 1 person business which never took off, had no revenue and ended up having to do massive paper work 3 years later that seems akin to colonoscopy. I would have never imagined th

Wow… 50F is quite high! The record high temp on earth was 56F at dearth valley. Given India/Pakistan are breaking records each year, it looks like they are only decade away from vast regions becoming inhospitable. Given the population

This is good experiment defining loss in translation:) “Government should not put so much taxes.” -> “ The government should not pay much.”

Homelessness is mere reflection of massively risen drug epidemic. You cannot solve it simply by giving free housing etc. Even if you remove all homeless people today, you will see new ones arrive in short order.

When government raises taxes to solve X, it is extremely rare that X gets solved.

I thought electricity is much less efficient way for heating than gas - both per dollar as well as pollution outcome. Somebody has to generate all that electricity from somewhere and it’s definitely neither nuclear or solar (it’s usually co

It is intriguing to see EU’s vs US’s philosophy differences. Such legislation would never fly in US. People will be up in arms about government interference and not letting businesses figure things out. The general sentiment in US is that g

Article says that gurus think you need 4000 sq ft per person but then article changes tunes and, without citation, it says you need only 200 sq ft per person. Let’s calculate ourselves. Currently 50M km^2 of land is used for agriculture. Di

At the end of this experiment, either Musk will be cancelled or the cancel culture will be gone.

At least during initial days, Musk spent 90% of time on engineering at SpaceX. He self-thought in rocket engineering and can easily match knowledge of many experts in the field. Many of big engineering decisions were done by Musk, at least

I don't know if this is really the case or if your prediction will pan out but I do worry about very rich people losing ability to make difference. I was reading the book "Happy at Any Cost" which is a story about Zappos foun

No matter how careful you are, you will eventually still end up following some new media like New York Times or CNN or Fox News or US president or some celebrity. And then it's only a slippery slop because for many stories, there are t

I haven't understood why people obsess so much about someone's death. Shouldn't they be thinking about them more when they were alive?

And what is the chance that Twitter's refusal to ban someone in future will cause Musk to get "cancelled"? I don't think you have seen the power of cancel culture. Once, X number of celebrities decide that Y needs to be

I don't think Netflix is "wok". Their content standard has just taken nose dive. Case in point: Stand-up comedy specials. Netflix pays out staggering $10M-$20M for this one hour stand-up. They used to be high quality and wort

If Musk dies tomorrow, I don't see anyone else leading up charge for all the progress in space exploration. No one is gutsy enough to go after Mars landing as much as Musk. I would fear that Mars mission will die out if Musk goes away

Tesla and SpaceX are technology/engineering problems. This is what Musk is good at and can take huge risks to go after it. Twitter is NOT engineering or technology problem. The politics and policies are not Musk's forte, at least

Shotwell doesn't "run" it. She is president and COO, sure. The vision, strategy and engineering is all Musk. Read the book Liftoff. Musk doesn't get much credit for his engineering work and often gets written off as just

I would wish Musk would just focus on Tesla and SpaceX and not throw himself in this snake pit. There is so much to do at Tesla (primarily cheaper EVs, FSD and 10X more super chargers). There is even more to do at SpaceX. Twitter is politic

I would add an ability to follow more than 5000 people. I follow mostly AI/ML researchers in the field and this limit is nausiating. Why can't there be more than 5000 interesting people in the world? I would also add ability to pr

I am still confused why one needs to produce a document as "program" as opposed to set of pixel to be printed. If we know the page size in advance (which we do while pressing the print button), I would expect document program rast

TLDR; There exist many solutions, none of them experimentally verifiable and hence the pointless debate continues.

I think this is great and not often looked way to diversity. They are selling at 20X annual earnings (or 5% annual returns) and have track record of producing earnings for over 100 years. Additionally, royalty is brand dependent (it seems),
