The crash is absolutely rational; the cascading effect highlights the missing moat for companies like OpenAI. Without a moat, no investor will provide these companies with the billions that fueled most of the demand. This demand was essenti

Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages developed in the 1960, it came before and is very elegant actually. You can write incredibly powerful things with this pattern and it's also really simple to build an interpreter for it w

No, I talk about the ADL having a point and his recent behaviour, including the lawsuit, leading to an increase in antisemitism.

If it is a medium of exchange, all the attention never made a lot of sense. The use cases are niche; that's the thing. Venezuelans who avoid inflation and ordering illegal drugs are not a trillion-dollar business. All the legal/re

This might be an interesting application in some early medical devices for blind people. What if it's binary but has a better resolution and they would see like that?

The early stage of Theranos wasn't really a scam, they tried to build the actual product. The scam started when they failed to do so and then lied about it.

Isn't Apple in a pretty mature market, they have to double their earnings in the next few years to justify this p/e ratio. Is that realistic?

They are competing with Google, Amazon and Microsoft. Those are not normal companies. I also think that people underestimate that this space will get very low margin eventually and become even more commoditized. Most companies totally overp

I absolutely agree with the killer application part, even for business applications they still don't have any idea. On their website you have a video that displays several use cases that don't make sense if you really think about

Vision Fund 1 from Softbank is at the end of it's lifecycle, now they still try to raise for Vision Fund 2. You spend much more in the early phases of a fund, so it's big enough to make all the difference here.

I mean for software we talk about reproducability and versions down to the bit. But if a consumer products replaces one piece of metal with plastic it's apparently the same product? Products should have versions that look like this. 2.

Exactly those are the ones who could legitimately use it, without driving rents. That is the original idea for AirBnB anyhow. Why not put a limit for 30 Days in the Regulation for when you are not home? It would be easy for AirBnB to limit
