Cyan Banister (@cyantist) says the two people that inspire her the most are Peter Thiel and @pmarca:

"I always joke that I didn't go to university. I went to Peter Thiel University."

"I've never met anyone more tolerant, more open-minded. He gets such a bad rap for a lot of things. He's probably one of the most poorly understood people."

"He's operating 1,000 feet above everybody else. His mind is not like other minds. It's kinda like @elonmusk. You don't know what to do with it, so it's just easier to hate it."

" Marc Andreessen was my hero when I was a teenager. I used to see him on the cover of magazines."

"Netscape was his thing, and Netscape changed my world and changed the whole world."

"The two of them probably would not want to be in the same sentence together being heralded."

TerraNova CEO Laurence Allen on how his tank-sized robots quietly lift entire cities out of flood zones without demolishing anything:

"Our robots are about the weirdest robots you've heard of. They're the size of a car. They look like a tank. They're basically a giant pump on tracks."

"You have this big injection pump, and you park it right next to a well you've drilled to 30 to 60 feet. That pump is fed by a big lay-flat hose that runs from a parking lot 1,000 feet away with a slurry of wood."

"What you get is you can very rapidly provide a ton of volume underground. You use that volume to lift land at acre scale, city scale. It's the first way you can lift land from the subsurface."

"It's very similar to what you'd see with autonomous excavator robots, except you're lifting all the infrastructure and everything currently in place, instead of demolishing it, filling it, and rebuilding it."

We made a small film some time ago to give an update on our progress.

A reminder as to why @buildwithcuby exists.

We aim to become “the building company” … infrastructure for how [anything] gets built. We’re starting with housing because it’s the most critical right now.

To get costs down and speed up, we have to solve for reduction in specialized labor throughout the build process. It is the biggest needle mover.

Therefore, we had to invent a process/system for building without ANY specialized labor. We built a ton of hardware/software to do so and are distributing this system via our Mobile Micro-Factories™ — “a factory in a box” that gets deployed near demand.

It attacks construction’s biggest nemesis — logistics. Getting the right people, materials, and information in the right place at the right time.

It’s a complex problem — and it’s critical that we solve it. If we get it right, the world will start to feel less bleak.

Palmer Luckey reveals the only type of chemical weapon he would ever build

"Chemical weapons I would build, but in a very specific vertical. And this is a very controversial thing. So I want to be very specific about this, and so if you post it, please include this as well."

"I'll give you an example: pepper spray is illegal for most military units to use. We are not able to use pepper spray, tear gas, as part of our conventional offensive military tactics. I think that's a huge mistake."

"I think we understand chemical weapons enough to know there's no real slippery slope from literally hot pepper juice to nerve agents that are going to kill you. There is no slope."

"I think it is inarguably a moral win for us to be able to have a continuum of force that does not have a gap between shouting at people and shooting them. And I think pepper spray is right in that continuum."

"I absolutely would love to build certain types of chemical weapons that give you something in that continuum. But biological weapons I would not build."
