@saikatc Better rackets didn’t mean fewer practice days in tennis — competition raised the bar; rising output ≠ more money, and that’s why this is a redistribution argument, not an AI one.

Exactly, @garrytan

In private investing, capital is released in tranches against milestones — miss outcomes, funding pauses. It raises an interesting question: could a similar results-first framework be proposed as a voter initiative that wins public support and also holds up legally by gating spending (not taxes)?

Done right, it would respect voter intent, protect what’s working, and create a natural pause-and-correct mechanism when outcomes don’t show up — while accounting for the usual bureaucratic workarounds.

High-speed rail jobs created, dollars spent, and miles permitted are inputs. The output voters approved is a fast train that actually moves people.

Bill Maher: "If we are ever going to get back to the old America, that's got to be the Democrats' part of the bargain… You can’t just say sh*t! Math is racist. Queers for Palestine. Looting is cool. Healthy at any weight…"

@elonmusk Funny how ‘young’ is an insult. Washington didn’t seem to mind—his top recruits were under 25:

• Hamilton (19, the ‘Big Balls’ of his time)
• Lafayette (19, General!)
• Laurens, Humphreys, Randolph (20s)

He valued their energy, loyalty, and fresh ideas. Maybe we should, too

@bryan_johnson As an investor in startups, I like the vision of longevity, but what excites me is that this also solves an immediate pain point with a clear long-term vision. Practicality today, ambition tomorrow.

The situation in the Ukraine hits close to home for the Placer team. We have a team of nearly 80 in Kharkiv who are seeking cover in their homes or protective shelters.

We are thinking of them and their families during this time and wishing everyone peace and safety.
