@E_Bruxxx Love it, but unfortunately, you're not big enough. If I cannot raise the follow-on to get where I need to be, you would be pissing away the cash.
Lots of risk there.

if you are working on the biggest challenges facing humanity, send the deck.

Not knocking these guys, this is a huge problem.
Why do we always build layers on top of complexity, versus just simplifying and rebuilding the complex problem.
If this was a hardtech industry, you would begin removing steps in the process and replacing multi-step processes to eliminate waste with something new.

Alchemize (@TryAlchemize) is building the first AI-native customs brokerage, giving importers real-time regulatory clarity and shipment clearance in minutes instead of days. Congrats on the launch, @samuelsfu & Robert! ycombinator.com/launches/QWb-a…

@brandenflasch I'd have to go back and look, but given that it requires a hardware update to work with CCS, specifically PLC, there is no way for the Tesla or charger to know that this specifically is the problem.
English
Do I know anyone with a non-CCS/NACS compatible Tesla? What happens when you try to use a non-Tesla NACS or CCS charger? Do you get any messages on-screen or on the Tesla app telling you to get a CCS upgrade?

Don’t just build a widget.
Build the ecosystem that the widget operates within.

The Cybertruck appeals to a small demographic and follower base of Tesla. The devoted.
The Ferrari Luce is different. It’s going to appeal to new buyers of Ferrari, younger, more tech savvy, looking for that MacBook feel in an electric supercar?
It’s not a crazy hyper car, it has just the right amount of tactile knobs and controls to maintain that nostalgic appeal, with some neat tech.
It’s already sold the entire initial allocation. So effectively, it was a win.

People said the cyber truck was ugly when it first came out too…

Innovation in mass manufacturing of commodity technologies that the US lags behind, is largely unnoticed.

The labor displacement fear mongering around AI is exactly why you're seeing so much pressure against building AI datacenters.
The moment AI shifts from being a novelty to becoming real infrastructure, people start realizing it changes labor, economics, energy demand, education, and entire industries.

@DavidNBrennan That's insane, I've never paid more than $12 for any statin.
Note: It doesn't work for everyone. I took these for 3 years, no change in results.
Changed my diet, lost 30lb, no statin, 40% improvement in my results.

My buddy just started atorvastatin, and told me his EOB listed the price at $1000. I didn’t believe him so I looked up my telmisartan ($500). These are $5-15 medications that the pharmacy is “charging” 100X.
Are these just legacy prices, or is this part of the racket?

Answer: if you don't price it high enough the insurance company PBM gets their vig, it goes no where. They don't want theowest price. They want the most profitable price The PBMs control the formulary for 80pct of the market. If you don't price it high enough to get them rebate money, they will not make it available to patients.

@PalmerLuckey is not wrong.
I'm also not convinced Palmer is advocating for paying people less to get more dollars per input.
Having worked with development teams in many different parts of the world, labor isn't the cheap component, it's the expertise and speed at which they are able to achieve things.
There is significantly more, in terms of just raw numbers of talented individuals, in different parts of the world compared to the US.
It's not 996, it's for every single hour spent on a task, you're simply getting more output.
If you're like me, you refuse to believe that it cannot be done here.
We need the capital to back great entrepreneurs to achieve this.
We need to fund a larger quantity of founders.
We need to be ok with the risk that comes with this effort.

.@PalmerLuckey: American companies don't actually have engineers anymore. "American companies have been hollowed out." "We're not teaching engineers how to be engineers anymore." "We're not teaching designers how to actually design things to be manufactured." "We're teaching them how to be high-level design shops that put together a design package, that gets sent to the real engineers in China—and they actually figure out how to do the work." "People are turning into architecture astronauts." "They pick components, and they put them in a nominal layout." "But the real work of—how am I actually going to put this together? How am I going to build a manufacturing line to make this? How am I going to need to figure out how to do the one, two, three, four, five different revisions of this board to pass radio emissions and interference standards? That's all done in China. So they are the real engineers." Via @HooverInst

We all do it.
Wait till you see it before passing judgement.
You may not like every detail, but we don’t know what happened up until the final decision is made.
Everyone judges based on perception, emotions, fear.
Then they will judge you based on what they see, without an understanding of reason.
Criticism and skepticism can be both healthy and dangerous.
Choose your actions wisely.

Don’t be a Panican! This admin is the only one I’ve seen that consistently stands up to our enemies, Commies & Islamists. They’ve earned some trust on foreign policy; I thought we’d have to strike again before a solid deal was possible, but let’s see what they can do here 🇺🇸.

Capitalism is the solution in healthcare. But, there is a reason we have anti-trust laws. There are reasons why we have the @FTC We are at a point in time where the big vertically integrated carriers and providers are abusing their market positions. Neither agency has done shit to stop them over the past decade There is a bill, the Break Up Big Medicine Bill from @HawleyMO and @SenWarren. I have talked to democratic senators who have said they will support it if more republican senators do. They want to match 1 dem to 1 rep. Totally dumb shit. So they say nothing. Other than Josh, not a single republican senator I have talked to has the guts to stand up for it. Period. They won’t give a reason. They just won’t do it. If you want less government in healthcare, it can’t happen until these conglomerates are broken up If you want single payer or M4A , it can’t happen until these conglomerates are broken up Quit bitching and call your senator and tell them to grow a spine and support this bill

This free market BS is ridiculous!! Capitalism (the basis of free market BS) is not the correct solution for social services. EVER! Once a social service system is implemented with a profit motive rather than a people motive, it is lost. Case in point, health insurance.
Mark Cuban@mcuban
Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?

@Seanfrank Building from 0 is incredibly hard, and probably the most fun you will ever have.
Do it, even if you fail, over and over again if you can, because at some point, you're not going to be able to do it anymore.
English
Most people have never built something from nothing.
So they don’t understand how hard it is.
They just see the end results and want some of it.
We need to encourage more builders, more zero to one.
Just so more people can fail and appreciate what it takes to win.
English
@mcuban @PalmerLuckey This isn’t entirely accurate.
If you work within the existing system, structures, and build the exact same type of business, just adding some agent to address small nuanced issues. You won’t succeed.
At CARE, I’m attempting to build this from the ground up. That can be done.
English
Yeah. That won’t work. The biggest players are vertically integrated and too big to give a shit. They keep competitors out (like my companies ) , set pricing and the rules and could not give a shit about outcomes.
Sounds great as a concept. But ideology is not a healthcare strategy.
You break them up. Then you may be able to start to pull gov out at some levels.
English
No chance it would. When there is regulatory capture, huge conglomerates effectively define the prices and rules. Not government.
They would love to have government out of the way. They are so big, with so many subsidiaries, they could whatever they want.
And it wouldn’t be to the benefit of patients.

@mcuban @GovBillLee Or just let the free market compete and get the government out of Healthcare. A free market would inevitably lead to lower costs for consumers.
