Why did you go in with your sidearm and camera? Legal or not, it seems unnecessarily provocative, and that you went in with a camera because you knew it would cause a reaction.

On average, I don't know, but I certainly think in some instances, the answer is yes, e.g. if I was Apple's board, I would have been happy to overpay Steve Jobs and Tim Cook relati…

The letter was sent by a partner at Quinn Emanuel, a well known and highly regarded litigation firm.

I take no view on whether Elon will be successful on making Twitter more profitable. But as a user -- and someone that typically supports Elon -- I have to say he's made the app su…

For TV, hard to go wrong with an HBO series. Most recently, Succession was excellent.

Sure, $3,500 is too steep for this to be a mass market hit with v1. But I think it's a fairly reasonable price to get the ball rolling, and they will see a fair number of early ado…

If you grew up with $50M+ and lived a luxurious life, but lost it all, would you not have children over worries they may not have the same standard of living that you did? If you c…

You think you need two children for one to make it to 18?

This is a weird take to me. Even if climate change turns out to be significantly bad, I have a hard time imagining it would be worse than most times in human history. Only a few ge…

It’s still early. Within 10 years, I’d be surprised if headsets and software haven’t improved enough that it’s reached a tipping point where many more people do use it consistently…

Why does it need a server? Does bitwarden have the ability to just use a local vault?

I think it’s probably a failure of an idea, but I think “pyramid scheme designed to harvest biometric data” is uncharitable and wrong.

The person you are replying to did not even get into the politics of it or his feelings on SF, but are we really denying facts now? Sure, anything could have happened, but 95%+ cha…

Not sure how true it, but there were news stories of people actually killing themselves from Lina’s collapse.

Tornado Cash was sanctioned by OFAC, which makes it illegal for U.S. persons to interact with the relevant contract addresses to the same extent as interacting with North Korea. Su…

Well, putting aside how annoying they all can sound, I think today’s markets proved them right that things would have been a real disaster had the Fed not taken the action they did…

I, and others, would never keep more than $250k in a bank account even before this SVB debacle. There are products made to manage this risk. For example, Mercury gives you up to $1…

It says 10+. I wonder what the average duration is.

Things are not black and white. There are certain things that can be more easily audited, verified or enforced on-chain. For example, payments could be automated (potentially based…

Have you tested Awair? How does Airgradiant compare?

Sure, but that's probably going to unfairly impact the poor. Imagine a family of poor immigrants, where the father worked very hard and saved and left some asset to his non-rich ch…

The IRS may be underfunded, but it's misleading to say the IRS does not go after the wealthy for tax fraud. The chart in that article shows $1M+ earners to have the highest audit r…
