But if democracies put together modest bids that their citizens can accept and authoritarians promise to make it spectacular + offer larger bribes, who will win?

I agree that you can learn more facts about place than you can by visiting for a few days, I think this is kind of misleading. I've mostly interacted with the world through the int…

That's fair but homepathic medicine is dwarfed by regular medicine in the industrialized world. There's no homepathic Pfizer or Bayer. I think if there was another practice that wa…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_advertising#:~:text=I... Markets are imperfect and irrational, but you really don't think that there is a trillion dollar misunderstanding ab…

You think TikTok is facsimile of Facebook?

I think it's normal to acquihire for stuff like this. But I'm not confident. Maybe it's just a condition of sale that he spend a week talking to the NYT games team about the design…

It would take months to make static copies of the website and mobile apps? There are youtube videos where a single guy does it in 40 minutes. The AWS bill and ops are definitely re…

Is the couple days work thing really relevant? You could have a solid Airbnb clone in a couple months (I'd imagine) and it's worth thousands of times Wordle. I think it has to be c…

I know this is days late but I don't understand how you can say the voyage was a failure? They hobbled back home for sure, but they made it!

I wish there was context for the pictures. Where they came from, who drew them

Do you mean meaningful in the bull** jobs way or the moralistic way? I find the moralistic version confusing. I usually hear it applied to CEO pay, which last year was 350x the ave…

A person shouldn't be able to have signage above their business to indicate what it is, the phone number, etc? Not billboards, but literally a sign that says "Johnny's Bakery"

I think the mayor of NYC has a strong incentive to get credit for improving their subway system.

But the local governments executing these projects have very fixed budgets. They can't just fire up the money printer.

Cool website. I miss this kind of internet.

That would be way more high tech jobs in Austin per capita.

Anyone know how Zuckerberg avoided the same thing happening to him? Bezos was a 30 year old with a decade of experience in finance, I assume he was quite savvy. But Zuckerberg was …

The US government can't mandate that censorship tact, right? Sounds like a first amendment violation?

I don't understand the big risk. They build a profile about the kind of short form videos you interact with. It's pretty limited.

Ruggedness and low maintenance is kind of debatable. A lot of that is just anti-biotic overuse. Which is a big issue.

It's crazy to me that in Norway they treat the oil reserves they found in the 60s as a good that is owned by the nation collectively, but we can't even treat water that way. Someth…
