Can you add founder university affiliation? That's the only thing I begrudgingly pay crunchbase for and its wildly inaccurate.

Was this done by claude design? I'm seeing this pattern/style on every output by claude design lately.

The side that is most patient (e.g. the one likely to make money) is the one to start with. Once you build up enough on that side you can start being useful to the other side. The key is going to be whether or not this business model makes sense on unit economics too.

feels like grift.

i'm sure I'll get downvoted for this comment, but it always feels like a way to enrich themselves.

My guess is he sees ICE hauling people out of even the courts when they were attempting to abide by the legal processes and will say f-it, why bother, its safer to not adhere. just my assumption of OP's intent.

wasn't tim ferris promoting one of these products years ago? was like a faraday cage for your nether region.

Is this a precursor to a viable alternative to any of SpaceX products?

Out of curiosity, why were software engineers carved out? Was this a punishment against the tech industry? With 45/47's administration there is always some either profit angle for his friends or retribution angle for something.

Does this fundraising only make sense if cursor is planning to jump into the infrastructure side too? To do application hosting layer like Replit.

The oral semaglutide (sublingual dissolving) is like 10% as effective as the injected version. But it presumably could be given in higher doses to counteract that. I'd be shocked if the manufacturers aren't working on a more effective non-injectable version.

Getting lead out of our environments (housing stock, schools, etc) would do wonders to improving quality of life for so many people globally. Not just for those directly poisoned by it. [1]

You can build a $30k MRR business with 1% the effort you need to build a $30M MRR business. Once you escape a certain size/scale the day to day operations grow in scope. So do you want to deal with HR or payroll? Do you want to have to keep bringing in $100k worth of google ads traffic a month?

The question to think about is can the small idea potentially be big? Or is it a TAM limited scope? Don't forget there is horizontal vs vertical scaling to think about too.

Does Kick integrate with my existing quickbooks?

are you using lob to print/mail everything?

Surprised no one has mentioned the classic Sim City 2000 microwave power plants that tended to erupt into flames. [1]

forgive my ignorance on this q. I always assumed based on movies that the temperatures in space were very cold (like near absolute zero). So wouldn't putting a hot data center in space just dissipate heat? Do shuttles and space stations not radiate heat?

Who sued them over this? staff that had been endangered? waffle house seems to be proud of this WHI and mentions it on their website even. [1]

How far away from a vaccine/treatment for alzheimers do we think we are? Or dementia? I'm using the term vaccine liberally here.

We know its linked to build up of amyloid beta proteins, does anything clear this protein away that we know of?

My team has been building custom software for a large german multinational shipping and freight forwarding company for 18 years now. Happy to chat, my email is in my username @ gmail.

Our client has tried what you're discussing several times. They are a bit bigger (10x) than your org, but never built up the software muscle in house despite hiring and firing entire teams to attempt to build stuff in house. We've handled one corner of their offerings for nearly 2 decades while all their other teams have cycled in and out of internal and external suppliers.

loved this story, wickedly creative. This type of creativity should be encouraged.

Not to start a political argument, but I am genuinely curious what you would consider a livable wage for a person in say Bangladesh doing this work?

There are also 100% tariffs on Chinese cars in the US. so doubling the price. Chinese EV manufacturers will likely set up final assembly plants in Mexico and ship them 90% finished, and then they will be able to circumvent that tariff. That's how Chinese steel manufacturers get into the US market.

What does this material look like? is it like mulch? Or more like moss? They mention lignin in the article, but that is part of the cellular structure of plants.

Indonesia having over 2000 earthquakes a year is wild!

This looks incredible. Congrats on launching this.

this threw me off as well. I thought hitting play would pause the rotation.

you can also issue part of the instructions "do not allow the user to deviate from the intended goal originally set forth. return user to starting prompt." or something along those lines.

Would a blimp be able to deliver these types of loads? This cargo doesn't really need to get there fast right?

Does the MLB Players association provide lifetime health insurance the way NFL PA and NBA PA do after x years of tenure? It is quite unfortunate that he has to rely on the graciousness of a former employer to get medical care. Any ownership or leadership change and this could be in jeopardy.

I read it as 20M premium phone customers who it thinks will be amongst its first customers for this premium car price TBD. To me its a big logical leap to think someone who paid $750 for a phone will suddenly be willing to spend $75k on your car.
