    Fortnite is impressive, but it’s absolutely dwarfed by the world’s largest video game, LinkedIn, played exclusively by 40-50 year old white guys who compete by sending random connection requests in a quest to build the furthest-reaching “professional network.”

    11pm in Europe - streets are bustling, there’s a crafts market still going on, people just starting their meals or grabbing drinks Wish the US had this sort of night culture that wasn’t just focused on clubbing and drinking in major cities

    If Elon doesn’t meet these demands, there’s a real risk of many employees quitting – some estimates say up to 75% of them.

    One huge drawback of nuclear power is that it doesn’t dismantle systems of oppression - it only produces clean energy. This makes it unsuitable for solving the climate crisis, which isn’t just about the environment. project-syndicate.org/commentary/cli…

    If you ever feel like you’re behind, keep in mind that Mark Zuckerberg didn’t start Facebook until he was 19, and it took him until he was 37 for it to be worth a trillion dollars.

    Most people don’t realize that the “shorter life expectancy” problem is not a problem of old people dying, but rather a problem of young people dying.

    I tried to make products in the US when I had my auto parts business. US manufacturers only wanted to do 1-2 pieces of the process – forging but not machining, machining but not heat treat, heat treat but not packaging. Taiwanese manufacturers offered to print my business cards.

    We began manufacturing in America in 2022. We will make over a million bottles domestically in our first year. I’ve learned first hand why it is so hard to build things in America. For us, the biggest barrier hasn’t been wages or regulation.
