Opinion revised: I'm looking forward to the day when a "handwritten" letter causes your aging mother to forward your inheritance to a scammer. Stop doing things you know are wrong to make a quick buck.

I was about to get out my pitchfork but then I discovered that this is not used for marketing false authenticity. It is actually used in a service that attempts to help people lower their property tax rates. Due to the peculiar aspects of h

From the lancet of all places. They completely destroyed centuries of reputation for cheap political points in all this. Too little too late.

If the US was nuked into oblivion the only things remaining would be cockroaches and intellectual property attorneys. I don't know why I repeated myself just there.

Tesla and Spacex are not perfect corollaries but they have shown that it is possible to produce things in the US at a lower cost so long as some level of quality is an important aspect of the product. It requires a level of competence that

I think an overlooked part of teslas very high valuation is that it seems inevitable that legacy, stagnant and mostly incompetent companies like Ford and GM will fold (and would have long since if they didn't keep getting propped up by

I'm am at a loss that otherwise smart people didn't see this coming. The employer/employee relationship is ALWAYS adversarial. An employer is never ever ever going to be watching out for your interests as an employee and alwa

Adam Neuman is every bit the fraudster Elizbeth Holmes is, he just wasn't in a regulated industry. He repeatedly fabricated fake financials and fradulent books to trick investors. His victims (private equity) mostly realized it was a s

wework 2.0 . 200x+ valuation to earnings. Spend 400 million to get 1 billion in revenue, not the worst that has been seen. "$1 billion annualized revenue run-rate". We said it that way cause putting it in GAAP terms would make peo

The underlying math (read cryptographic implementation choices) and people backing Zcash are extremely suspect. These days everything gets all lumped under one crypto banner but from a first principles standpoint I find things like bitcoin

For those that may not be familiar, the relatively strong anonymity on Monero is via a cryptographic mechanism known as "ring signatures". Separate from cryptocurrency they are a useful cryptographic technique for many things: ht

There are many things to like about a Telsa as a conveyance. But if you buy one and you think it is anything more than a CaaS (car as a service) you are lying to yourself. Two other considerations that completely rule out ever buying a Tesl

I don't see why this should come as a surprise. The government poisoned liquor during prohibition, injected plutonium into unwitting pregnant women, gave innocent people syphilis while giving them fake treatments to see how it killed t

A lot of people are trying to interpret this. I read the complete paper. This is very far from any kind of conclusive result that says 5G presents serious risks to human health. However it does raise a couple of important considerations tha

Anyone who has actually read even the first few pages of the so called "gold standard" study cited knows it was useless and inapplicable to any meaningful public health practice. But the narrative MUST NOT BE deviated from. I don&

Techcrunch is like Paul Krugman, a phenomenal inverse predictor. Just bet against them 100% of the time and you will be right > 70% of the time.

They pay their engineers below and in cases half of market rates, place no organizational value on quality engineering, their CEO/head engineer is a buffoon and they have a history of screwing people with regard to equity compensation.

The HN crowd loves to promote urbanization, density, blah blah blah. The fact that such an app exists at all is de facto proof of a failed city. Just a comic level of dysfunction. "NYC, we're so progressive we can't even addr

I really don't understand how Netflix is not 100% a SaaS tech company. To say they aren't in the way the article describes is to say that no SaaS companies are tech companies which is an obvious fallacy. They have dabbled in makin
