The Netflix show Stranger Things was loosely based on this. It was originally going to be called "Montauk" and take place on Long Island, as there were conspiracies of mind control…

The next evolution will be foldable phones that can unfold into tablets. Smartphones in their current form have essentially peaked, I agree.

The least they could do is have a V1 of their smart glasses ready by this event. Several startups have managed to create ones, why hasn't Apple?

The incredibly dull pace of innovation coming out of Apple lately is the logical result of a supply chain expert becoming the CEO.

Interestingly, from a technological standpoint, container ships could switch to nuclear propulsion tomorrow if they wanted to. The 2 main reasons they haven't is the large up front…

In the case of an article that lists 82 startups, their comment is essentially saying "Here's a startup I think is notable". Hence their opinion.

What's your meditation routine? As in, how do you actually meditate, do you use something like Headspace?

Right after their sleezeball CEO and all their VCs cash out, leaving small time investors holding the garbage at the end.
