    There's a cognitive dissonance on this site where everyone claims to hate this attempt at regulatory capture, yet they would do it too if it was their tech company and call it a "m…

    You don't have to be self-employed to have skin in the game, that's ridiculous. How many op ed writers have tried to have skin in the game at all? How many of them produce writing …

    Taleb made a lot of money trading, his firm failed but running a successful business is not trivial and his ideas ended up working when he took up an advisory role rather than an e…

    Porkbun is an interesting case study for this support model. They reply to everything personally, and for me the important thing is not that I'm talking to a human, but that I'm no…

    You know Palantir is not an LLM company, right? Their core product is just data integration systems.

    There likely isn't a Canadian Alex Karp. Karp is a unique byproduct of American culture. The specific brand of arrogance, hunger for war, and callous disregard for human life, all …

    We barely have a space industry, how are we meant to compete with starlink? We need foreign investment. We also need protections against foreign investment. We also need to uplift …

    Although your claim is literally untrue as the grid has been upgraded, the answer is: mostly the apartheid government. They left the ANC with a grid that served only 10% of the pop…

    You can easily look up the lies he has made about white genocide, which even white south africans have debunked. You accuse me of deception for arguing that, in a democracy, the la…

    You are at this point purposefully trying to misunderstand me so you can let out your anger. Conversation is over, sorry.

    No you misunderstand severely, some risks are unavoidable and unknowable. You need a telecommunications industry, you can't just eliminate all risks associated with it. So instead …

    Black people decide every few years by voting for representatives who uphold these policies. There has never been a motion supported by the majority of black south africans to get …

    Again, I never said it was zero sum, but thanks for being condescending. I said it was close to zero sum. Black south africans may get some jobs, maybe some internet, but the profi…

    Economic opportunity for black south africans is close to zero sum when all the profit goes to a foreign entity and white south africans. Separately, kneecapping starlink does a lo…

    Why don't you guys ever acknowledge that the law is an attempt to correct the racism of the apartheid government by distributing economic opportunities to those who never had them?…
