+1 to Empire Podcast. They have excellent series on a bunch of empires (well researched with references). Its one of those light, informative, non-boring podcasts:
- The British Empire & The Raj
- The Ottoman Empire
- The Russian Empire
- The United States as an Empire
etc
Issue for any country that is not China. A single country getting the most AI tokens business would be generally bad for global economy. Hoping against hope that this business gets globally distributed and there is a healthy marketplace competition overall
Some of these don't seem like "YC scandals":
- Zenefits: A non-YC company put a spy in Zenefits.
- Pebble: Still loved by many, just had black swan event of Apple launching a better product
- Cruise: Looks very much like a GM issue.
A few things that have helped me in the past are:
- Find small wins. Don't expect big changes immediately. Small wins accumulate over time. Examples: say hi to neighbors, go to a gym, work from a coffee shop etc.
- Join a coworking space. This was a huge help personally. It still took more than a few months but this changed my life.
There are 4 different categories of fixing the global CO2 challenge:
a. Remove CO2 from atmosphere
b. Prevent adding new CO2 from reaching atmosphere
This could also be a good use case for #b where CO2 is captured before being released to the atmosphere. For example factories and vehicles could be mandated to use this.
While your link is helpful, he did not say that. He specifically mentions changing the admissions standards. Specifically having different standards for different social classes.
I have second handedly seen the effects of such discrimination in other societies and it really is crippling to the economy. Be wary of any kind of discrimination specifically one that lowers expected grades.
Found this amazing hackathon project by X @blendrskool. There is a 3D skeuomorphic radio on the screen with dials, knobs, buttons all usable from the web portal. Github link: https://github.com/blenderskool/radiai
This is really cool! I am building a p2p social games platform and this will be super useful as a base. Would love to connect if you are interested in seeing a prototype.
Spoke with someone on the Yellowstone team a few weeks ago. They mentioned most wolves lose life to ranchers. Avg wolf life in Yellowstone is just 3 years!
A TV-TV video calling system (raspberry PI + off shelf camera and mic). Idea is have a more immersive experience where you can talk to entire family instead of just a persons face (or parts of face in the hands of my parents or kid). Next stage is to add games to the calls. Have some games already prototyped with good feedback from kids.
Still thinking of how, what and when to open source.
This is great. Always wanted something exactly like this for teaching or learning History and Geology. For some reason I had a real struggle with history in books format.
