So like Twilio but for some local European networks?

Isn't it the opposite of what you're saying? I always had an impression that the high cost is actually due to low supply of doctors and this low supply is due to overregulation dri…

In no way your cost of living in Los Gatos would be higher than the delta of 450k, even post tax. Are you serious? Bay Area is still an absolute best place to create savings equiva…

As other commenters have pointed out, the question itself might be pointless. The article makes the same mistake, trying to frame lucid dreaming around some supposed benefits it pr…

Sounds pretty obvious, why would they be doing something that would hurt their business metrics - which are correlated with increasing ads ROI since it unlocks higher spend.

Oh, this is a big deal, had no idea, thanks for sharing. How realistic is it to assume the majority will be reached by the compact anytime soon and if it will, that no states will …

I know it's hard to imagine but not everybody acts purely in self-interest. I'm also supportive of this, even though I'd be taxed more.

For $200m yes, but you’d be really stupid trying to do it all at once. Small amounts, multiple accounts, gradually over time.

It has a very low slope angle of about 5%, so it would be really more like a hike, esp in such low gravity. Unlike Mt Everest, a mountain formed by a collision of tectonic plates, …

I’m kinda glad that the actual definition of “deserved” is determined by the market and not individuals, and this is a good example of why. Your argument is essentially capitalism …

This is a weird assumption, see my comment above - there already exist a bunch of airplanes operating in the US with no TSA. Also, what’s the point of bombing small airplanes? Why …

This is already the case with a bunch of small plane airlines. They are also reasonably priced (compared to chartering). I personally love JetSuiteX (JSX) and the experience is tru…

The only hope is that intern level will also increase significantly with this, helping them to catch up with the fundamentals super quickly.

Lol what? As a single anecdotal point, I just bought meta rayban specifically for ai (and btw it sucks and I’m disappointed and chatgpt is much better). The fact that current gener…

I have a bit of a spiritual, but also actually a super practical take. Imo this whole situation finally liberates us from chasing things for personal gain, for result, being driven…

> > Then go do whatever you feel like doing, free from any shackles. > This is not nihilism, it is hedonism. Only if you are driven by selfish desires, but that’s not the only way …

Why else would you want control over something though? If not to make sure you get what you want. Which is driven by a fear of not getting what you want? (A side note from an angry…

Just to counter your absolutist point: I do. The imperfections and the story and everything make a thing more alive. In general, in most of the cases I’d prefer an item made by a s…

That’s the only thing that bothers you? :) How about we outlaw the price discrimination described in the parent comment? I think everything else just pushed the conversation deeper…

In most of the places it’s trivial to exchange crypto for local currency in p2p fashion, often for cash.

I’ve been paying multiple people and teams remotely via btc in the past years. Even if you can send a wire, sometimes it can be cheaper/easier to send crypto. But in many cases it’…

Having a couple hardware wallets in different places + a paper backup split in a couple pieces gives you enough redundancy not to worry about this. Source: my own experience of clo…

Yeah, but _why_ having a bulletproof car is cool these days in America? I think in your cultural programming (nothing bad in it btw) you may not be realising that this is not unive…

Wow, this is super interesting, thanks for sharing. A bit unclear from the articlr overview if they managed to do 6 reproduction cycles in just 6 years total and got to significant…

Not LPs, but later stage VCs and private equity. It’s a game of musical chairs, you just need to be early in. And A16Z are experts in this, with all their investments in crypto. De…
