This is another part of the broken social contract. Boomers got to buy: AAPL IPO at $1.8b mcap MCD IPO at $33m mcap MSFT IPO at $780m mcap INTC IPO at $58m mcap HD IPO at $60m mcap NIKE IPO at $220 mcap AMZN IPO at $438m mcap EBAY IPO at $700m mcap Average return 4175x…

It's disgusting that IPO'ing has evolved into retail exit liquidity & nothing else They will sell to EVERYONE before they let you wet your beaks. Despicable. They should've IPO back in early 2023 with ChatGPT 3.5 Everyone gets in before you, even Uncle Sam gonna dump on you



Many such cases

Kubernetes migration almost killed our startup. Where we were: - 8 EC2 instances - Ansible for deploys - Boring but working - $1200/month AWS bill Why we migrated: - New investor wanted 'cloud-native' - Engineers wanted K8s experience - Competitors were using it - Seemed like…



Both Uber and AirBnB grew really fast due to their asset light model. But once you grow as big as you can get it’s hard to have leverage or control on quality when you don’t own the assets. Scaling and sustaining a business are two different things.

Curious to get people’s thoughts on why, after a blockbuster IPO and continued growth, Airbnb stock has performed so poorly over the past 5 years relative to other tech stocks

We should have shot-clock permitting in the US Enforce 18–24 month maximum review timelines for industrial, energy, and logistics projects, if you can’t decide in two years, the answer is yes Measure agencies by time-to-build, rank states on how fast they permit and incentivize…

Where did these factories come from all of a sudden? 5GW of solar/yr from a single factory in Dallas?? Is America not that screwed here?



Kevin Schultz reposted

Late last month, our G1_Dallas factory set a new production record: 14 MW of solar panels in a single day. Do the math: that's a 5.1 GW annualized pace. Domestic solar. It's the path to American power. Thank you to our G1 workers!

Interesting article on @wayve_ai’s hardware agnostic ADAS that they plan to license to OEMs. They say it can operate camera only or at higher levels of autonomy with redundant sensors like radar/lidar businessinsider.com/wayve-tesla-fu…


The fact that Apple doesn’t even try to improve spam filtering in their messages app is really damning. I want my text messages locked down with spam filters equal or greater than my email.

I get one of these a day. I keep calling and updating my info, and people keep trying to hack my account. How do I make this stop?

Newark Airport is under a ground delay program today because of staffing shortages in the control tower. Arrivals are being limited to as few as 20 planes per hour through this afternoon, with higher rates later tonight. The average delay is about 2 hours, and some flights are…

The US Navy has managed a total of 273 nuclear reactors, 6200 reactor-years, over 177 million miles, averaging 4 new reactors per year over 70 years. They have done this with a perfect safety record. Zero accidents. Zero injuries, zero deaths, zero environmental pollution.

The view that the US has stopped producing nuclear reactors is actually pretty inaccurate. Over the last decade the US Navy has commissioned 1-2 new nuclear reactors per year. They currently operate 100 reactors, more than any other org on the planet.

Anyone that says “they don’t build them like they used to” has never tried to do electrical work on a 100 year old house

I’m old enough to remember being able to turn on the TV and just watch sports without needing 4000 different apps to do so. Just like make it stop. I want to click the on button and just bam, sports right there. Is that too much to ask for? Isn’t technology supposed to make life…

Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a fair deal, and starting today, Disney programming will not be available on YouTube TV. This means you will no longer be able to watch channels like ABC and ESPN or access recordings from these networks in your Library.

I have no idea why "Republicans always crash the economy" isn't repeated by every Democratic official every day on every possible forum, forever.

The United States is going through the largest number of layoffs since… checks notes… the last time Donald Trump was President. Every single Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the economy. Trump is the first to do it twice.
