This image is super misleading. You don’t invent the click wheel by copying the look of Rams’ radio. Classic radios use tuning knobs and Rams just refined the form. The click wheel was a huge leap, not a visual tweak. Design is not how things look

In 2021 our portfolio company Fridge No More raised $19M and opened 49 stores in NYC, employed 300 people and was able to deliver goods to your door in under 15 minutes, paying above minimum wage to couriers (they were actually so happy with their jobs they offered to work for free when the company couldn’t get funding). Unlike Mamdani’s store they had to pay rent and taxes. This is $387K per store including all the R&D, CapEX, and a central processing facility. Somehow when a socialist politician is trying to do that it’s 100x more and takes 3 years. Remember my words it will not end at $30M. Very soon they’ll ask for more.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani that the first city-owned grocery store – which carries a whopping $30 million expected price tag – won’t open until 2029. trib.al/zJEMm8D

We haven’t posted here in a while, so let’s unpack what we’ve been working on over the past few months, one by one. Starting with something small but important: Automatic units. Add units to your variables once, and they carry through every calculation automatically. Set v = 10 m/s and t = 2 s, and distance comes out in meters. Nothing crazy, but a lot of people asked for it

A philosophy seminar question about eating babies got clipped, stripped of context, and tied to the Epstein case a decade later, leading to death threats. We're letting 45-second videos decide what we think about people and ideas and it's shattering us.

AI models is not winner takes all markets. They have the same features, but each have a 'personality,' a different way of thinking. It's like working with different people on the same problem. You can't just pick one—one is better in this, and another in that. There is no universal 'best' for intelligence.

My lesson from Fridge No More: I believed that if we pushed hard enough and won the market, the money would follow. We had the best product, best marketing, and best economics. We ended up controlling 70%+ of the NYC market despite five heavily funded competitors. But we still missed fundraising. We worked on it a lot, but we didn’t push to the limit!

Price has at least three components. First, the seller’s bottom line: the embedded labor / cost of production, logistics etc. Second, the buyer’s valuation: what this thing is worth from their frame. Third, scarcity: when many buyers want the same thing, the market filters them. People who value it less cut off. The first two exist without a market. A socialist system still has real production costs, and people still value goods differently. What the market adds is the filtering mechanism on the demand side. So without markets, you can estimate the bottom of the price—the cost floor. But you lose the top. That is why planned economies could keep producing and still end up with empty shelves. Markets do not reveal value—they coordinate frames.

Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them. And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy? Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?
