Bull markets, according to John Templeton, “are born on pessimism, grow on scepticism, mature on optimism and die of euphoria”. The legendary Wall Street fund manager put this philosophy into practice in 1939.
This man is an American hero.
Kaylub Giamanco was driving home for lunch and saw a gunman run into his daughters' elementary school.
Kaylub grabbed his long rifle, ran into the school, and killed the gunman before police arrived.
What a savage father.
Heroes walk among us.
We're the most technically advanced civilization in history. And the least competent at the same time.
SpaceX can catch a rocket. Delta can't land you at JFK on time, makes you rawdog the flight, and loses your bag.
Amazon gets you a package in 4 hours. The DMV needs 6 weeks for a license.
AI can pass the bar exam. Public schools can't teach kids how to do basic math.
Your watch can detect AFib. Your insurance needs 3 weeks to approve a visit.
Your car can spot a pedestrian and brake on its own. Your city can't keep needles off the sidewalk.
AI can design a new protein. Your hospital can't send you a correct bill.
AI can draw a building in minutes. The city takes three years to approve a duplex.
Satellites and cameras can track a car across the city. A man with 30 arrests walks out the next morning.

A data center can lower your electricity bill. a16z's Alex Immerman, David George, and Sarah Wang on the myth that gets the least pushback and deserves the most:
"It may seem counterintuitive, but a data center can help lower your electricity rate. A recent US study showed that for every 10% increase in data center capacity, residential rates went down by 40 bps."
"You should think about it as a power grid is a shared fixed cost base: poles, wires, substations. A large stable customer, like a data center, can help spread those costs across more units of electricity. Simply put, more demand across a shared system is a positive."
"Investment in shared infrastructure can also improve the economics for the households and businesses connected to it."
"I don't think that point gets enough media attention. Dina Powell went on a podcast recently from Meta and talked about the Louisiana site that they did, where they worked with the community to lower electricity costs. There's real examples of that today. It's not just lip service."
