much more interesting than the actual article

thats been replaced with spac deals

also: can't pump the ipo and get exit liquidity for vc through a dutch auction

this exact behaviour is why insurance is getting more expensive

lets see how corgi holds up in a few years

if trump ordered someone to be shot for accepting bribes we would find this idea a lot less appealing

anyone who spent a lot of time in that part of the world will tell you this stuff can basically be made up

the western method to do this is to plant csa material on a person and then publicly announce they've been caught with it. not many people consider that 'possession' can simply be a USB stick found in a tree on your 2 acre lot, or a usb stick that has been planted in your car

your entire family and social network will immediately cut you off and very few consider these things can be fabricated

its difficult to see from the lens of software and information technology, and open source academia, but physical science is often discovered via experimentation and cant just be brute forced. usually it disseminates as it is adopted into industrial process and is then copied. a lot of scientific discoveries are made due to impulsive-creative intuition

for example: - until the end of ww1 the haber bosch process was confined to germany

- jet engine turbine blades today

- most historically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_fire , medieval napalm that nobody has been able to replicate even now

until mid 00s broadband internet was not widely available outside US/Europe/Japan. At one point I think over 10% of the internet was just Russia. Even today Russia and Japan make up about 5% of the internet each. you can see this in early 4ch culture especially

this meant most of the people on the internet were middle class suburban from the developed world, educated, literate, and technical. importantly, 3rd world bot farms and relentless content grinding had not yet taken off. that is a big difference

I guess you could call it a Qwen size bed

because $100bn annual revenue, high FCF, high margin. Its a monster.

it takes advantage of an esoteric piece of insurance regulation. They’re doing very aggressive underwriting without any of the traditional insurance regulatory protections applying to them.

elsewhere; "Laqua, whose father is a lawyer for an insurance company"

lol

its so much better though. android junk UI and TV OS are so bad I will happily pay the Apple TV price just to get the remote and not get a headache when I get home from work and want to watch TV. the product name is too poorly thought out though

now try closing your company for less than several thousand. lol.

you should consider UK company, enormously better. or sweden. continental EU is mostly backwards.

its faster to use an LLM + MCP (chatgpt or claude integration cloud integration) to search your email than to use the search field in the web browser now

its also possibly cheaper than the monthly licence fee for the desktop app suite

public defender lawyers who fought for workers rights and against items like company towns, abolitionists, etc. many good lawyers

finance people who invented life insurance, health insurance, car insurance, friendly societies. as much as we complain about insurance here in the US, life was immeasurably worse when there was none. there was no such thing as state health care or social security in those days

you would be surprised to find that there are many people in finance who never tried to make a quick buck, and are pretty altruistic. this is evidenced by the large amount of family owned banks

tech now going through what finance did in the 1980s, shift to greed and excess

tolkien largely copied the nibelungsenlied and accidentally inherited western chauvinism and many other ideas from that lore, including especially a great amount of racism

a more honest way to look at it would be that the government gets 50% of the employees total expense to the company, so it is basically 50% income tax

the ironic factor is - this is how vw itself started, as did mitsubishi etc

this is called: sensible state industrial policy

perfect IT response

regulation are written ambiguously and the specifications do not match the industry

I have even seen regulators refuse to specific legislated laws because "thats not what the government meant", giving a company the choice of following the law and being fined, or breaking the law to please the regulatory agency

you should rewrite this comment with chatgpt if you do not want to be dox

opinions vary, but this was the opinion adopted when formulating this index

it probably makes it easier to ship in europe where some private banks and pensions (eg denmark gov) ban defence investment

There are many valid complaints about public markets undervaluing businesses in comparison to private markets, now that everyone is putting their money on the line we start to see a different view being taken

which is exactly why public markets have always been a superior price discovery mechanism in comparison to private markets

you cant take out life insurance on your spouse without them signing the paperwork in most cases

you dont take out cover on your business partner, the company itself does

some life insurance policies pay out for suicide after an initial exclusion period. this is often six or twelve months. insurers can include it because suicide claims are relatively uncommon.

if there is evidence that someone took out the policy with the intention of creating a claim then the insurer may treat it as fraud and decline it.

yeah its awesome, the only side effect is mental illness and dementia

it also did not seem to impact lifespan for them

dying in your 60s was par for the course until second half of the 20th century.

lead petrol, cigs, war, asbestos, lead paint in children bedroom

absolutely not true

they erode your gums

and the accelerated rate of nicotine absorbtion probably has side effects we do not yet understand

think more broadly than 'labor theory'

finance today mostly valued on labor value following ideas of marx, hjalmar schact, keynes

in future money will be valued as energy derivative. expressed as tokens consumption, KWh, compute, whatever

you are right, company extracting surplus value from labor by leveraging compute is a bad model. we saw thi swith car and clothing factories .. turn out if you can get cheaper labor to leverage the compute (factory) you can start race to bottom and end up in the place with the most scaled and cheap labor. japan then korea then china

you may evaluate the concept of a milk enema, dramatic and rapid defecation ensues in comparison to a saline enema
