“Endless wars” was in fact the process through which America allowed various rogue regimes to stay alive but somewhat crippled to be used as permanent villains and convenient forever threats.

We're moving from a human-based economy to a humanoid-based economy and the transition will be faster than most people think.

There's ~600 acres of unused federal land in the heart of the Bay that could be turned into a micro city of the future, filled with humanoid robotics, drone delivery, robo-taxis. Like a test environment for integrating physical automation and urban life.

5/18 The Solution: Frontier Valley solves this crisis. Located at Alameda Point - the only large, vacant plot of federal land in Silicon Valley - our zone will feature the most expedited regulatory code for physical innovation out of anywhere in the US, by far.

Prices for new drugs will effectively migrate to a different model, closer to how Apple prices an iPhone (allowing for somewhat "limited" geographical variation) rather than the old Big Pharma model of extreme 4X+ price differences between US and other markets.

On August 9, 1978, Olympic Airways flight 411 with 400 passengers took off from Athens to NYC. With one of its engines destroyed during take off, the Boeing 747's speed was 158 m/h, well below the minimum speed required to keep the plane in the air. 1/4 youtube.com/watch?v=f9YzsO_Z…

Let's face it, 30% app store fees were never going to be sustainable. Sooner or later, we'll see them dropping to 15% or lower, either from market or regulatory pressure. Perhaps this is an early indicator of changes to come.

Today is the 64th anniversary of the government-orchestrated pogrom against #Turkey's Greek Orthodox citizens, which also led to attacks against other Christian communities and Jews. My @POLITICOEurope piece from 2015 on "The Turkish Kristallnacht." politico.eu/article/the-turk…

The Turkish Kristallnacht

Sixty years after its pogroms against ethnic Greeks, Turkey grapples with its ugly history.
