Where do you get the data to make the claim about the first generation immigrants. People like Sam Altman were born in Chicago. A great deal of AI research began in the US in the 1970s. What have the US colleges been doing since then?

Didn't they just layoff a number of people? Surely there are some good, local talent that were once good enough for Google. Why ask to import more when you're laying off people?

It's a bit unfair to talk about the garages in Palo Alto being attached to "multi-million-dollar" houses. When the people starting Apple, HP, Google and Facebook took over a garage, the places were solidly middle class. Even

It could be the opposite. Ford, Rivian and other third parties will be building to this standard. Tesla no longer needs to jump start the marketplace, so to speak.

Munich may be expensive, but is it as expensive as the US Bay Area?

No. Copyright gives the right to control how a work is reproduced. In the case of printed books, we've arrived on the first sale doctrine which still does a pretty good job of spreading costs over all users. It's not perfect, but

Do you think the authors and editors should be compensated for their work? Charging for use seems to be a pretty straight forward way to reward the people who create good books.

The beer company? I guess if Doomsday comes, everyone getting really drunk on a stockpile may be as good as any other strategy.

While I also agree that there are downsides to keeping the exchange constantly churning, I worry that it's hard to align the open moments with the times when market-shifting news arrives. We can't expect the Bhopal plant to explod

This is all good news, I suppose, but I think that if it were widely adopted the system would fail. I doubt the libraries pay enough to support the news rooms if everyone tossed aside their subscriptions and started using the library's

Now Google takes the ad revenue before people get to the content generating sites.

They have to be competitive. I've seen some nice prices on Toyota electric cars. They're just starting to pile up on the lots.

It's pretty impressive what you can buy on eBay with the words "CVD Diamond" in the title. As best as I can tell, they're chemically identical. (Modulo honesty on eBay, of course.)

Don't let anyone say that the teachers aren't keeping up with technology. Certainly not the gym teachers.

How do you handle companies like AMZN where Jeff Bezos still plays a role. Yes, he seems to be busy doing other things but he does seem to have a role. And the founders at all of these companies are still doing things. Even Bill Gates has s

Is this really socialism? It seems more like a company with lots of owners. I can imagine that the local residents who must buy from this cooperative may feel pretty excluded, especially if the cooperative overcharges. The insiders can stil

Would it be fair to say that companies like AMZN or GOOG have "employee ownership" because of the stock options? If so, it means many tech companies meet this definition.

I think the point is that some automated systems like Canvas may hide the names, but they're still presented in alphabetical order. Pseudonyms don't help if you don't shuffle them.

I'm psyched to see the market evolve in this way. All you need to do is look under the hood of an ICE car and you'll understand that electric cars can be dramatically cheaper than ICE cars. It's just a question of figuring ou

You might want to read a bit more about Margaret Sanger and her little project called "Planned Parenthood."

Indeed, the US had their own camps that they filled with Japanese, Germans, Italians and a few others. Of course they were relatively nicer to the people placed in the camps.

Some suggest that war focuses the economy and drives it forward. How quickly would atomic power evolve without WWII?

Baiting and entrapment? Please. They used the API the way it was designed. The next thing, you'll be arguing that hot women in nice dresses are somehow "entrapping" their rapists. If anything, their examples illustrate the ki

How did "corporate capitalism" create this situation? Some guy decided to volunteer his time to write some code. If anything, it might be said that corporate capitalism paid him well enough so he had the spare time? And I don&#x27

Certainly not all of it, but if you were to cut and paste some words from one of your textbooks, maybe change a few words, and then pass it off as your own, I would call you a plagiarist or a thief. The NYT makes a credible argument that th

I was just at a party where a guy told me he was hired by a SF startup to covertly download many hours of YouTube videos without paying either Google or the original creators. When he mentioned the word "copyright", they fired him

Zipcar is still going strong around my neighborhood. I use it occasionally. It's a much better deal than owning a second car.

Some places like Google and many state governments are publicly removing all requirements for college degrees. Whether they still choose degree holders anyways is an open question, but some are very openly proclaiming that it's not a r

Unfolding? It's been in motion for quite some time. And maybe it's not a bad thing for the population to shrink gradually and through the free decisions of people.
