You're right, I should have been more clear. There isn't a crude shock that would come from the middle east to Europe. That would be more an economic shock because of the demand fr…

I don't think the rest of the world would "outright shun us." I think that the rest of the world that you're describing are mainly European countries that are highly dependent on G…

I'm not sure I understand your argument - you seem to have proven my point. They always could close the Strait and they eventually did. In this case the US is already energy indepe…

Let me give you a new perspective. First, I agree with you on the drones. They're a new entrant to the battlefield and the US has had to learn to adapt. You're viewing Iran as a si…

thanks for proving my point. There's no evidence other than you falling prey to the tropes of yesterday. In what world does it make sense that Israel controls our government? Only …

Israel owns out government? You have proof of this outlandish claim?

Truck drivers and the hours they're on the road need to be logged per law. Most of this is done (or perhaps MUST be done) electronically.

>>It's effectively x-ray vision into some huge workloads running on their competitors. I wonder if there are antitrust lawyers watching this closely. Would be really interesting to…

Well yes but Boeing also said it "would not result in a safety of flight condition." There's a lot of gray going on here.

Don't be duped by China's clean energy talk. Their energy infra is mainly coal and they continue to build (dirty) coal plants. They sell you solar infra so that you can feel good a…

Agreed and this is a good comment. It's strange that people in SV pretend like if they refuse to build software then nobody else will. Palantir exists (and has been so successful) …

We should be clear about these cases that are brought against him (I'm not saying he isn't guilty, but context is important here): Case 1 - as Minister of Communications he, allege…

Iran has killed, threatened, or killed-through-proxy many Americans in the last 50 years. They have created and sown instability throughout the region threatening Israel, Iraq, and…

Wiz is a private company but the street's assumption is $1B/ARR over the next year or so.

but in this case (to keep with the comparison) the people having the conversation are recording it themselves and posting it publicly.

>>The disagreement with the board was supposedly related more to elements of the board trying to parts up and sell off bits of Intel. If true this would be very interesting. The mo…

Maybe you don't care as much about politics (for or against) and instead care about working on something at the bleeding edge. If you want to work for a company on the bleeding edg…

I'm saying that people _say_ they have issues with sweatshops but when push comes to shove they're willing to buy the Nikes. I'm not trying to make a decision here on right vs. wro…

And that's fine, but they're solely yours. 57% of US citizens support expanding the military. Further you have no evidence to back up your claim that anything outside of the Air Fo…

This is a strange view. Weapons development is at best helpful as it hopefully provides a deterrent to nefarious actors and at worst protects our interest as Americans if someone c…

I'm not sure what data you're using to prove this but it seems like many of the largest brands in the US are still using sweatshop labor [1]. Many still have no idea of what's goin…

At the end of the day I don't think we're arguing here and I'm not saying that the OP _shouldn't_ speak to a lawyer but here are a few choice comments from this post that I'll use …
