Listen, UNAM is one of Latin America's greatest universities, and Mexico City is highly industrialized, but Mexico City is like Milwaukee or Houston or Albuquerque or Buenos Aires, not like Sunnyvale or Boston or Singapore or Shenzhen. If you're a hacker in Mexico City, you're gonna be pretty isolated by comparison to a hacker in a tech hub, and you're swimming against the tide of a corrupt and technically incompetent government in the same way you would be in Houston, a way that you won't be in Sunnyvale or Boston.

I'm well aware that people in Mexico City aren't illiterate paupers. That's not what I was saying, man. But you're going to have a hell of a time launching a new kind of laptop in Mexico City, and that's what they were trying to do.
