It really does feel a day late and a dollar short for Europe, especially Germany.

Nuclear ICBMs generally make this a moot point. An advanced enemy can explode a "nuclear reactor" anywhere in your country at any time.

Regarding drones, most reactors are built relatively hardened. For example, they're protected against a 747 flying into it at full speed. So even a drone attack would take an advanced enemy, and they might as well drop a bomb on you.

I don't know how anyone could be bearish right now. We are seeing technological innovation at a pace I never believed possible. Bullish on AI. Bullish on America!

We are getting very close to this with cheaper and cheaper glp-1 drugs. Soon they'll be free for any overweight American.

Google has what all its competitors want desperately right now: 2 decades of data. That's their moat and where they will extract the most value as they increasingly lean into AI search results.

OpenAI and Anthropic can catch up, but first they must invent Google search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Calendar, Youtube and Android.

You know a Tesla was involved in an accident because they always make it part of the headline.

Wait until the ProRes version comes out before you sleep on it permanently.

It looks like this stems from the Mar-a-lago raid in 2022. Did we ever find out what the president was actually squirreling away there that he wants to sell on eBay? I remember the leak at the time was that it was nuclear secrets, but I haven't really seen an update on it.

Tech price appreciation is really throwing me off!

Apple likes to slow roll features out. It's kind of a necessity when Wall Street expects you to put out a desirable hardware version every few years. Gotta protect that runway!

Pro labor is when the government makes it illegal for you to switch jobs or quit.
