It isn't just about bringing a bunch of cells to term.

But if you want to oversimplify, why not government fund gestation vat technology? The main blocker for progressing on those right now appear to be self imposed.

Another shoulder anecdote... I also really appreciated being able to open up my shoulders.

I was once amused by a friend that had never seen a split keyboard before - they were mostly delighted with having a place to put their coffee...

Yes. Along with the feared click of death.

Has AWS support gone downhill in the last two years? I've worked with them in the past - as both an individual and a couple startups - I always reached a human. Issues weren't always resolved as quickly as I'd like but response times were short.

I thought the comparison was unfair as well.

Physical libraries also tend to be the defacto life help desk for a lot of people out there.

Thanks for mentioning this. I didn't realize Intuit sold it off to private equity in 2016.

From what I understand, this does not actually affect Google. They were already amortizing their R and D expenses.

Over long time scales (and big company revenue streams), this is sort of a wash. I think this hurts startups a bit more due to the long timescales involved which eats up much needed cash in the short term.

Still waiting for basalt rebar to become more of a thing. This version plays to the steel industry at least?

Microsoft had/has the Natick project which was an undersea data center testbed which allegedly had a bunch of benefits. That doesn't seem to have gone anywhere - or at least isn't really scaling up. I'd imagine the ongoing operational costs of space are worse than the ocean?

To me, the cost estimates seem a bit off and conflate capital with running costs.

The main benefit for space at the moment seems to be sidestepping terrestrial regulations.

Meta's more open models aside, are the other copyright abusers giving out their model for free?

There are funds that trade on the rebalancing and entrances/exits of individual stocks from the indexes. While this may offer some yield, you can still get pulled under the bus by large scale movement in the markets... as seen recently.

While I'm not a fan of the "dark pools", if your "grandma" is a buy and hold anyway, the price of the asset should be ballpark correct most of the time since presumably the people doing the trades in the dark room are rational? I suspect that this setup is more useful if you need short term stability in the price to set up a complex deal.
