Hard disagree. Anthropic hired Mike Krieger. He's awesome at product. Give it time.

Literally the next sentence is “It’s possible by some lights that the market will not produce the optimal amount of safety at all relevant margins, and so regulation persists.”

Did you read the whole thing? There's an entire section at the end that talks about what current players are doing wrong, while raising the question of whether even the suggested approach is fundable.

Fake news. Smaller particles from exhaust are way worse for you than larger particles from tires. Within a category like PM2.5, mass is a terrible metric. A given mass of fuel exhaust will contain orders of magnitude more particles because

Got it, thanks. I think it is your last sentence that is most clarifying for me. I thought the multifocal lenses were a good solution but it sounds like they aren’t as great as I had hoped. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks, I appreciate it. From my layman’s reading, it seems like RLE is very safe and doesn’t have the same side effects as LASIK. I guess my real question is why shouldn’t it be more widely used for younger or less extreme corrections. It’

Every chance I get, I sing the praises of Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse. It sounds like you could use it. Good luck!

Build us a Mach-2.2 electric engine where the aircraft design closes and we'll use it! We're an airframer, not an engine company. Would love to see some innovation in engines. Maybe a good idea for another YC startup.

NYC-SF is a 2h30m block time (gate-to-gate) if it were allowed. Our sonic boom will be quieter than Concorde's, but because of the policy challenge, we are baselining overwater operations only.

The Concorde entered service in 1976, and program launch was in the Kennedy administration. It would be surprising if technology didn't advance enough to bring huge improvements over that time period. There are broadly three enabling

Disclosure: I'm at Boom, which is building a Mach-2.2 airliner. https://boomsupersonic.com/ I think it all depends on how much cost savings for how much speed. In today's dollars, a round-trip ticket on Concorde f
