@TheStalwart Just a really cool photo, imo. Not as high a ratio of great portrait photos any more.

Of all the examples of “people used to look older”… idk. A few lines I guess. But doesn’t seem that different from today.

@eittsvat @amaldorai @pitdesi Yeah, once I discovered Release Radar I never went back to Discover Weekly. Release Radar is great, and has helped me discover tons of new music.

@amaldorai @pitdesi If you want to discover music you've never heard before it's easier with Pandora or YouTube.

Help me understand Spotify - it just crossed $100B in market cap and I'm not an investor. I had the chance to invest while it was private and I got a fundamental assumption wrong, and I'm still not exactly sure what I missed.
My assumption: I thought the artists and record labels would have too much power in the relationship with Spotify, because Spotify needs to have a complete catalog.
Netflix doesn't need a complete library of every movie or TV show (you only watch them once, users subscribe to multiple video services), but music listeners want virtually all songs in the app.
My assumption was that If Taylor Swift says she's moving off Spotify, they lose millions of customers and do whatever they can to keep her. Tay-Tay has a lot of power in the relationship and can extract a lot of value, eroding margins. But it doesn't seem like that has happened. The only artist I can think of who isn't on Spotify is Garth Brooks. Now of course Spotify itself is such a behemoth that they have a lot of power in the relationship... but how did it get to be that way?
Probably just a misunderstanding of the music industry... thoughts?

@AustinNxPodcast @pritika_mehta As others have written, I don't think you need the weather + natural beauty to get the young/ambitious people to come, but it helps a lot to get those people to stay and raise families and build deep roots rather than moving away once they get their payday.

There are things that need to be replicated for a superstar ecosystem, things that don't, and then there is the requirement to own the first principles of a region. Nothing will replicate Silicon Valley by trying to be Silicon Valley.
First, what is necessary for a hub to be truly generational:
1. Access to significant amounts of capital (Thousands of angel investors and VCs; Billions of $$ of risk capital; Top accelerators like YC)
2. Creative Collisions of Talent & Ideas (Top institutions like Stanford, Berkeley; World’s best talent)
3. Culture of Innovation (Insane opportunities for high quality talent; A society that celebrates nerds, mavericks; risk takers and dreamers)
I don't agree that "Perfect Weather" (San Diego is better) and "Beautiful, livable cities that make people leave comfort of their countries" is necessary. People are drawn to opportunities. Not that nice weather is a bad thing.
But for Numbers 1-3, they are not uniquely special to Silicon Valley when you look through history.
Think of Florence during the Renaissance, Manchester during the Industrial Age, or even Detroit in the 1950s.
My only point is no one should try to replicate Silicon Valley, but learn from it and other great innovation centers of the past to build the next one.
English

Silicon Valley can be easily replicated anywhere in the world. You just need :
- Top institutions like Stanford, Berkeley
- Perfect weather
- World’s best talent
- Top accelerators like YC
- Thousands of angel investors and VCs
- Billions of $$ of risk capital
- Insane opportunities for high quality talent
- A society that celebrates nerds, mavericks, risk takers and dreamers
- Beautiful, livable cities that make people leave comfort of their countries
That’s all.

Technology may eventually become so advanced that it becomes entirely disinteresting, even gauche.
I mean when you get to Earth 2.0, what are you going to do there?
Sit in a pod? You could have done that on Earth 1.0.
No you will want a horse.

An ideal future would feature more horse riding. Like, way more.
