Living in the future and building what's missing today: innovation that creates more value than it captures, but captures enough to pay all of the bills.

@Noahpinion Have you forgotten the global influence of the imperial Prussian administrative state? As Wilson wrote,

“If I see a murderous fellow sharpening a knife cleverly, I can borrow his way of sharpening the knife without borrowing his probable intention to commit murder with it.”

While edited, this ad is fundamentally aligned with President Regan’s support for free trade, something the current administration consistently fails to understand.

It’s official: Ontario’s new advertising campaign in the U.S. has launched. 

Using every tool we have, we’ll never stop making the case against American tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity is by working together.

Watch our new ad.

@Rainmaker1973 “A man ought to shift his own gears.” (He ordered what was probably the only manual transmission Olds Cutlass ever delivered.)

@AIOneManShow Same, on both free and Plus accounts. If they’ve been honest and said, phased rollout starting with paid plans, I would respect their business decision. But claiming general availability and not delivering is an odd choice to say the least

In his oped in today’s WSJ, @MattHennessey argues that advocates of free markets need to speak up, a challenge I embrace today with a powerful observation from @paulg

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Few of them realize it, but people who say "I don’t think that we should have billionaires" are also saying "I don't think there should be startups," because successful startups inevitably produce billionaires.

No, Mr Vice President, the market is NOT a tool: it’s voluntary, mutually-beneficial exchange, free from fraud and coercion. https://t.co/3AY1Qke6oW

@bestinvesting1 @paulg Firing 100% of federal employees cannot close an entitlements-driven deficit.

I just published a new essay, and since the algorithm prefers links in replies, I dutifully put it in a thread about why I wrote it. But a lot of people didn't notice the link, so screw that:

Remember when Netscape had a Web Server business?

Chinese company DeepSeek’s new AI model rivals Claude 3.5 Sonnet but cost just $5.6M to train—100x cheaper than Meta’s Llama 3. Given chip export controls, the team “delivered this superb model through ingenuity rather than brute force.” @azeem

The US needs to continue to reward technology risk-taking.

[Edward Conard @EdwardConard]

My WSJ OpEd argues that mining the tech frontier motivates America’s talent to take more risk by increasing expected after-tax payoffs, producing a 70X difference in the value of newly created companies—laughably missed by tax elasticity studies #AEIEcon

Reread regularly:

“Why is it so important to work on a problem you have? Among other things, it ensures the problem really exists... by far the most common mistake startups make is to solve problems no one has.” @paulg

@TRHLofficial Reject the frame, and say “founder”

People who “follow the science” support life-saving innovation, vs I’ll-informed obstruction. https://t.co/Mxzchz6XSs

@Austen Assuming no fraud or coercion occurred in the ticket sales, content-goers freely chose to spend their money on something they believed would advance their pursuit of happiness.

Where’s the problem?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

AI will magnify the already great difference in knowledge between the people who are eager to learn and those who aren't.

@michelletandler If they didn’t ask these questions, how could they possibly achieve their goal of strict numerical equality of outcome in all organizational roles?

@theryanzhuo @phokarlsson 1 & 2 were beautiful; 3 was depressing.
