@alexisohanian and sidewalk trees every 15 ft... in fact every city should have a mandate for tree installation, livability and nature should be one of the few useful things they do, as in, fewer frivolous tickets and more trees per block
@chamath more than a problem; they have ushered in a violent revolt, fomenting and organizing it's self now, backed by NGO's and foundations Tech execs all funded them selves over many yrs, well meaning or not, it's their own fault
@garrytan law of golden goose, it does not die, just takes it's gold somewhere else; gold = hard working people with choices, producing in real time, yr IP and ambition walk out the door every night, when yr employees go home in LA/SF Bay..then can also go to Texas
@chamath there's a money trail that leads to people and NGOs, backed by known interests, why did you not address that specifically in yr last podcast? this should be a topic you dive in on and name names, it's going to really matter soon; China degrading our tech and winning the future
@tunguz perception problem here, counter narratives are filling the void, driven by outside forces and doomer malcontents; if we don't counter them actively, we'll all lose to China as they go full throttle, become their vassal state

@pmarca put yr pods on a 10 hr 'rain' white noise, and tune out the music pollution, otherwise, can't get away from it.. we somehow have been trained to accept high BPM inputs, every where we go, on a constant basis, eventually frazzles the circuits
@FreddyLA7 driving back just for that? surely there is a place in Boston that will collect that car, did you go with a smaller CA company or a company doing business in US too?
