@rorysutherland@nntaleb it’s a shame that the winds don’t blow the other way around across the atlantic, so a red-eye from JFK to Europe is too short. Who thought of that UX?!
P.S. I guess also one of the contributing factors to the failure of Concorde ?
@LinkofSunshine Yes, but are the cursor shareholders even more stupid than retail investors in SPCX? They will certainly have much longer lockups and so can only sell after when it drops
@GergelyOrosz I wonder if Meta provided any official statement to your newest newsletter? I mean you also mention it, but now they must be turning up the damage control knob to lvl 1000? This is just sad, and might also cost them literally billions

Budget blown by <100 ppl from max. a couple thousand with AI coding tools, that is very possible.
@jakubpetrina@vildafranek Studii nemam ale podle me kdyz uz, tak budou taky sledovat muzsky fotbal ;) zavodnici f1 maji spoustu fanynek!
Jako co ma byt ten pitch: “Ses zena, tak se pod koukat na zensky fotbal, je to mnohem lepsi nez koukat na 22 chlapu co behaji po hristi, protoze jsou pomalejsi?”
@LudekStanek dobra pomucka je predstavit si, ze prumerny navstevnik vydelava v dolarech to, co cesi v korunach… ti co kupujou premium listky v preprodeji, tak tem je to jedno uz uplne
