You should move to Venezuela or Cuba. Then see how it's "failing".

You realize that the folks with these fortunes are the workers who built the companies, right? If there's one place that's "worked-owned" it's a startup. And the VCs who also ended…

But what about the costs? There are several domains I want. They're just sitting there and no one is doing anything with them. But when I ask to buy them, they ask for outrageous p…

I wonder if it's possible to harvest the metal and recycle it?

Who can afford that much RAM? I'm going back to the days when 640k was all we could ever use.

This has got to help Space X's plans to put those data centers in space away from the NIMBYs. (Assuming the UFOs don't have NIMBY committees.)

Does the model only care about violence against "protected groups"? What about the people who aren't in those groups?

Oh, she'll be overjoyed to learn later that you don't own any SK Hynix stock. And then there's the fact that you shop in secondhand stores. (If she's still around after learning th…

Can you go into more detail? You're clearly assigning costs to SpaceX that go beyond the invoice price.

The patent system is a pretty useful compromise here. The applicants are forced to disclose all knowledge required to practice the craft. They get a 20 year monopoly in return. I r…

Two tiny notches.

You realize that there's plenty of surveillance in the infrastructure that sends coupon codes to some patrons and collates loyalty points, right?

Exactly. And later the person just insists that even the best of rely on the care of others-- while omitting the fact that the "care" is really the labor of others. Yes, we must re…

I agree that surveillance pricing sounds terrible and discriminatory. But people are also happy with coupons, codes, introductory pricing, employee discounts and many of the other …

The number of city kids really boomed between 1990 and 2010 or even 2020. But the pandemic really changed things.

I think the answer is that it depends upon who is talking and how the question is asked. Many recognize that it helps the US to import great talent. But people also recognize the d…

Gosh it would be ironic if they were hiding the nuances behind the firewall in a way that makes it difficult for retail investors to read.

And there were plenty of movies made "the hard way" that tanked at the box office. "Crime 101", "Mercy", and "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" are three prominent star-driven, big-…

You do realize that the radio stations and everyone who worked at them used their radio "scene" as a way to make a living, right?

There are plenty of semi-wild and semi-domesticated chickens in the Caribbean and Florida. I still want to eat the rooster who woke me up from a great dream at 3am.

And this is another good time to remember Jim Steinman, the genius who brought us "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and many of Meatloaf's greatest hits. https://jimsteinman.com/charts.…

Why do climate people write headlines like this? Everyone gets cynical and dismissive when they endure predictions like those made by Al Gore or Greta Thunberg. Even if the predict…

Probably with the help of some insider who told the criminals that the account existed. They figured you would never notice.

Yes. Or they stayed put. I had a friend who lived at home and drove a Jaguar. He helped his mom occasionally, but it was a financially great deal that allowed him to live large.

That's a big if. Maybe you'll be right. But the odds are you'll find yourself like Germany as it watches Poland blast by it in GDP. Or maybe you'll be like England where recently 3…
