My hypothesis on this whole thing is that the post war political consensus that defined left and right and political success through ideology is coming to a close. It’s not dead yet, millions of boomers are still voting. But politics is ab

Fair enough, but I do think there are diminishing returns beyond the basics, and there’s a hierarchy. We are very fortunate to have clean water and sewage. There are terrible stories in Victorian England of like workers popping in water sy

The auction used to be automated. I could say my max spend is $30 an ad, but if my biggest competitor maxed at $15, I would pay ~$15 + 1. Now I pay $30 Also made more simply, if I made XBOX games, Google used to say “you can pick ‘Xbox’ a
