#32I am not sure how relevant the view of these billionaires when: - they did it exactly once - we know from studies that these people are nondeterministicly getting rich[1] https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610395/if-youre-so-smart-...
"studies" aka computer models that assume luck is a significant factor and then conclude luck is a significant factor

That goes for a lot of videos, TBH. Lots of introductions, jokes, uhms, ahs and other junk, and you can't even search them to look for, say, a thing you're interested in.
Think OP meant lots of signal, ie, not much fluff.
Ah, ok. Still, I'd vastly prefer a transcript.

#34There are several comments here about Khosla and his efforts to convert public right of way to private property on the California Coast. It's fair to ask, "why is this relevant to a video of his views on the future (tech)?"
It's relevant because the beach controversy shows that the future that Kohsla wants to create is inimicable to the future that I want to see. He sees a big-L libertarian future, where the strong eat the weak, wealth is the sole source of power, and the wealthy act with a large degree of impunity.
So at best, I would watch with that in mind and have to critique everything he says to pick apart when he is trying to advance that view, vs observations and ideas that are not tied to it. In this case, I haven't bothered. There are others I can listen to for insight.

No offense intended, but that's kind of blaming the victim on a whole other level.
I think blaming the victim is cruel in the case where the victim is powerless to defend themselves. But in the case where the victim simply failed to defend and fight for themselves I think it's important to criticize them.
In what way have the victims failed to fight for themselves? The beach access issue is kind of a thing all up and down the California coast.

The society that lets you get away with it is also culpable.
Even if that were true (it ain't), society isn't "letting him get away with it." It's processing the issue through the legal system, which unfortunately takes time.
I would not say unfortunately, i would say that it has become that way to reflect power interests.
I am a surfer so i feel for the affected...

Strongly agreed. I don't even think I could work for a startup funded by Khosla Ventures.

90% of the page at the bottom is the transcript. Right below the audio file is the time annotated transcript as well. Might have been added after you opened it: should recheck.

#40The signal to noise ratio in this video is extremely high.

This was the exact reason I stopped listening to NDT's Star Talk. Wayyy too many mediocre jokes, intros, outros, how's it goings, what's ups, wayyy too little science.
