Not even a little like the headline, Steele sounds like a generationally smart intellectual.

Highly recommend reading Stealth War if you want to understand China. I have a better understanding of China, and much less understanding for weird US posture as a result.
Freedom with Chinese characteristics.

Mercury
Company SSO and IP allowlist.

Covid is not a highly virulent pathogen. Virulence means severity, like things with 80% CFR rates becoming things with 100% CFR rates.

I give 40% raises for this reason. So stupid to let your best people walk out the door. Just shower them with cash!
By Apple* no less.

I have a model Y 7 seater, it's actually not bad in the third row. Kids totally fine, small adults for short trips. Over six feet would hit the roof though.
No, the vaccinated. To prevent actual spread.
For the people in the back: intramuscular vaccines do not precent viral reproduction in your nose, meaning you can still spread a virus. Only nasal delivery prevents it. We need nasal boosters, not more intramuscular shots.
For the people in the back: intramuscular vaccines do not necessarily reduce viral load in your nasal passage but do make it much harder for the virus to reproduce in worse places. Nasal vaccines would do this which is why we need them for covid.

I don't think the universe has reached some kind of natural ceiling on unhappy customers so in terms of startups, no. Plenty of unhappy customers out there!
On the contrary, Canadians are clearly more sane than what the US is doing. The lockdowns here notwithstanding.

Also Canadian and vaccinated.

This is why we need nasal vaccines. The current vaccines prevent escalation but not initial replication in the nose.
It's more absolute deadly, not more relative deadly.

I love how intense Bezos competes.

So much money, too few startups to invest it into.
Finance policy makers aren't smart enough to navigate finance policy.

We should have schools for future Elons, not future Trump's.

Nutrient density. Organisms will consume as much nutrient sources as needed to meet micronutrient requirements. If food gets less micro dense, as it has, our bodies are compelled to eat more until our needs are met.
You know now that we know diseases can be magically solved in two months of science we can't let them off the hook. Why not solve it by next fall?
Australia is basically "very poorly executed China clone" at this point. Weirdly affected by their propaganda but also totally lacking the organizational effectiveness.

If money stopped being a measure of value, it would stop being a valuable measure.
We implemented this with 30 people. No wokesplosions, just private positive feedback.
Look over there, we're not a monopoly. The new monopoly playbook is "look what I'm doing for SMBs". Similar to racketeering.
