I feel like there's a big market opportunity to create an EV-only rental car agency that will eventually get rolled up by an Avis or Hertz. Besides the body damage repair cost ment…

She literally wanted to destroy OpenAI in order to save it. Unbelievable. We need a total and complete shutdown of EAs serving on startup boards until we figure out what the hell i…

Can we have a quick moment of silence for Matt Levine? Between Friday afternoon and right now, he has probably had to rewrite today's Money Stuff column at least 5 or 6 times.

You're nitpicking via an overly literal interpretation of what I wrote and missing the point entirely. In the case of nonprofits, the fiduciary duties of board members pertain to k…

Right, my point here is that the "design" of the board here raises a lot of questions. Board charters are often written so that this kind of thing doesn't happen - especially in th…

Pretty surreal to see this trending on HN! "The NVIS loop: so easy, a marine could do it"
