I’m trying to fend off your admiration for me, you see, in order to save myself from your future contempt.

These people debased themselves to sling MAGA, as a shortcut to power. Look at him sounding smart again.
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

Where is Paul Graham?
He should be proud of himself for having the courage to stand on his principles. His kids should be very proud of him.

You mean to tell me the people don’t like the new helipad at the WH and the reflecting pool? Or the $5 gas?

“The numbers favor renting” in the rent vs buy home debate because you will never be able to borrow against the value of the rent you paid to your landlord.

The State House was built by coup plotters. Higher ground is a tactical advantage in a gunfight. The Person walking/running up the stairs must expose their head and chest first.
Unrelated: why doesn’t the State House have a lift? Or why wasn’t it used? Seeing Adeleke struggle to go up and down the stairs demonstrates accessibility issues. Does Tinubu go up and down those stairs everyday? What if a guest of the president was in a wheelchair?

He’s real for this. I know he’s going to be highest capped NG player of all time in a short time.
“I love playing for Nigeria, but you have to pay for your own flight. 😭You get to the hotel and there’s no electricity. You wash your own kit, the pitch is only half grass, and if you make one bad pass the coach is screaming at you. 😂 But I love the food.”

Progressive people in a progressive city, elected a progressive mayor, but people outside of that city are the most pressed about the mayor doing those things he promised to do.

That’s quite the word salad to say his success makes you uncomfortable for no reason and you’re salty.
He's just a really skilled politician but charisma? Nope. He comes across as a really skilled actor whose emotions are very skin deep. Aka phony. You'll need a titanium drill to get to his real opinions on anything.
But People will eat it up because he looks and acts the part.

Main constraint in computing is cost of moving data in memory. Olix‘s thesis to build specialized industrial chips to jump over the memory wall is definitely interesting & I’m eager to see what they can achieve.
Our world is currently designed around general-purpose memory chips

UEFA already monopolized club football and privatized it to the Americans. All bankable UEFA clubs have exchanged assets for cash with Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan: Barca - 1.5bn, RM - 575m, Crystal Palace - 125m.
What Infantino is offering is no different.

The NFF is a federation. A lot more you can do than just tweeting about their corruption. It’s a federation.

Ben Horowitz on the ideal founding team for a startup
Ben looks for two people on a founding team:
1. The inventor. “It’s the inventor’s job to build a product that’s 10x better than anything that’s available to solve that problem.”
2. The entrepreneur. “The entrepreneur’s job is to take the market.”
When Ben and Marc Andreessen founded Opsware, Ben was the entrepreneur and Marc was the inventor.
“What helped us a lot was that - as an entrepreneur - I’ve got a master’s degree in computer science, so I understood invention. And I understood how to drive the company around continuous innovation. And that’s really, really important. And Marc, although he invented the browser and a lot of important things, he knows a lot about business, markets and competition.”
Ben continues:
“The best thing to do is to have two people who know how to do both, but at least one person who’s world-class in each. And that’s how you think about the founding team.”
