Could Boston be created today? I think it's uncontroversial that the answer is no. What else are we no longer creating?

You may read this with horror, but if you don't do this to your kids, consider that a trillion shrimp will suffer

Rule 1 of comsec is you do not mention the existence of a more secure channel in a less secure channel. If this purely hypothetical situation ever happened to me it would drive me nuts

Does anyone else think it's hilarious that this pipeline mostly creates effective altruists, but also when this was tried TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO the kid also became obsessed with utilitarianism? If you raise a calculator machine they are gonna try and calculate happiness

Excited to share that I have joined Lightspeed to help drive their early-stage efforts in enterprise. Lightspeed has been on my radar for a while. 14 years ago, I noticed they were the lead investor in many of the startups we were tracking Cisco. Lightspeed also had Cisco

All this 100 humans vs 1 gorilla talk just makes me think about the Roman empire again because unlike us cowards they wouldn't just debate it, they'd make it happen and get the experimental data.

Money is far from the most important thing we bring to the table for technical founders at Amplify... However, we also have money.

But they wouldn’t. People in the 1920s had seen radio, cars, and powered flight come out of nowhere in living memory. I could explain an iPhone to them in 5 minutes and they would get it. They would be more shocked, I think, at how long it took to get to this level of progress.
