Lithium is not a rare mineral. Dozens of undeveloped lithium deposits are already known to exist. I wrote this post to explain how to compare them. zelandez.com/news/the-untap…

Poland's standard of living surpassed Japan's, it also overtook Spain last year. Free market, capitalism and entrepreneurialism are the only proven way to escape socialist misery and poverty. One cannot multiply wealth by dividing it, prosperity can be only created by hard work.

The 3-2-1 Backup Rule is more important than ever if you code with AI because fatal accidents can happen It means you should have 3 copies of your data, in 2 different media types and 1 copy off-site 1) One is the actual data on your own server (the hard drive) or DB server 2) One backup is in cloud storage (that's the different media type) 3) One backup is off site, at another provider, and preferrably in another geographical location For me that's 1) Hetzner VPS, 2) Hetzner's own daily and weekly backups on the dashboard, and 3) Backblaze B2 Hetzner's own backups are impossible to access by the VPS or AI, so that's safer If you use AWS or other providers you can apply the 3-2-1 Backup Rule in your own way I've never lost any data!

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…

Benedict Evans' OpenAI piece is really a first-principles strategy essay in disguise. His core framework: Durable advantage requires structural compulsion, not just excellence. The test isn't "Is your product good?" — it's "What mechanism prevents you from losing even when competitors match your technology?" He runs every OpenAI asset through this filter and keeps getting the same answer: nothing. No network effects (my using ChatGPT doesn't make yours better). Engagement a mile wide but an inch deep (80% of users send <3 prompts/day). The chatbot is a "thin wrapper" — an input box and output box on an undifferentiated engine, just like browsers were. The killer distinction: platforms harness external creative energy while you hold the reins (iOS, Windows). Infrastructure merely enables what gets built on top (TSMC, AWS). OpenAI is positioning as a platform but may structurally be infrastructure. Capital intensity without lock-in is WeWork, not Uber. And incumbents with distribution beat pioneers with technology once the tech is replicable — which it is. It's Munger-style inversion applied to the hottest company in tech. Not "Why will OpenAI win?" but "What structural mechanism would prevent OpenAI from losing?" The silence is deafening. How will OpenAI compete? — Benedict Evans ben-evans.com/benedictevans/…

We’re about to witness three of the largest IPOs in history. SpaceX is targeting $1.5t. OpenAI aims for $1t. Anthropic is valued at $380b. Combined, $2.9t in market cap. The scale is unprecedented. But the real problem isn’t the market cap. It’s the float. Typical IPOs offer 15-25% of their shares to public markets. This creates enough liquidity for price discovery while allowing founders & early investors to maintain control. Facebook floated 15%. Google floated 19%. Alibaba floated 15%. At a 15% float, here’s what these three IPOs would require :

I landed in the United States 10 years ago with nothing but credit card debt. After one startup exit, one big tech job, and one unicorn, I genuinely believe that it wouldn't have been possible anywhere else in the world. Here are 10 things I love about this country:
