I had the exact same idea years ago when I was working on a secrets manager (hobby project).. Self Destruction, Unique link + password makes it pretty secure. With the exception of Internal sabotage, I don't see any other issue.

Yes dual class shares means most modern tech companies are de facto dictatorships but that doesnt change the point. Sergey's boss is the shareholders. This is not theoretical. The most infamous example of one sided dual class shares is

This is a painfully obvious hit piece and its exactly why MSM is quickly becoming extinct. They didn't sign a single contract or start a single project and the reason is obvious. They are don't want to end up in a news article lik

I strongly disagree with on demographics, it looks really good for most of the century. Everything including TFR, young population, working population and even elderly populations looks REALLY good. Especially relative to China. Demographic

Russia is a UUUUGE strategic geopolitical ally for China. In a de-globilised world split into spheres of influence, Russia would be a foothold into Europe. Cheap resources cant be discounted, China has duck all for resources. It imports eve

A lot of criticisms on the way Mozilla was managed over the past few years, especially in terms of investments.. I think what they've done with rust hands down makes up for all it and more. That language has the potential to really cha

As for what happens next: de-globalisation I predict we'll see blocks forming up again, something like: - West (US+EU) - East (China+Russia) - India (India, Sri Lanka, Himalayan States, South China states) - Middle (Middle East+North A

Its definitely not a lack of confidence in USD or the feds. Relative to pretty much every noteworthy alternative, the feds have handled things a lot better. - EU royally f'd with their stimulus & rates. Mind you, they were in a ver

actually found it (Nasdaq: OKTA).. The company lost an insane amount of money each quarter (-46% margin).. The are worth almost 8 billion, 1.3 billion in revenue to net -850m in revenue.. If it wasn't for their balance sheet (pretty st

Naaa this is the best thing to happen to bitcoin. Over the last 2 years bitcoin was being eaten up by wall street and technocrats. The OG crypto people were being bribed by all the money coming in and the ones that remained "pure"

There is no on/off ramps to the fiat world. Other issues like complexity/bad ux are being rapidly fixed but the on/off ramp issue is one thing that technology can't fix. Its a legal issue.

I know this gets into politics a bit. But when it comes to forming my worldview about these things there is usually the rational side then there is the gut instinct. The rational side told me (and the best investors in the world) these guys

You're twisting my words. Peacetime is different to wartime is a general statement that has nothing to do with his service. Military metaphors are common in business for a reason. Modern business management inherited a lot of the milit

I meant no disrespect, just an educated guess since there has been no major war after WWII.. I'm mainly talking about the difference in strategy/posture during wartime vs peacetime.. Just look at whats happening in Ukraine rn, R

Difference is you served (or are serving) during peacetime. This is wartime.. Twitter is in a shit load of trouble and unlike Meta & Snap which are crashing like a shitcoin.. Elon bought Twitter at 2x-3x what its actually worth. Unlike

If u look at the past decade, the real coins survive. Its the venture backed ponzis that die.. Basically no exchange should be holding enough to cause a collapse of the coin. With bitcoin this will never happen, there was multiple collapses

There is a difference between working hard and getting paid exceptionally well for it verses borderline slave labor. Comparing one of the most sought out, well paid, safe, in demand jobs in THE WORLD to being in a sweatshop is asinine and e
