its not about the money. its about the threat to your life.

A mugger may be stealing $50 in your wallet, but the crime is the threat to your life.

a material that stretches 1% to failure (like steel/aluminum) can ballpark bend to a radius 100 times the thickness. so a 1 meter cable could bend 100m radius before cracking. assuming 10x margin that would be 1 km radius. large but not crazy. A tube that size can easily span 1 km trenches in water. you could also add a few meters of foam around it to make it neutrally buoyant and just barely press on the ocean floor.

the whole mythology is nobody knows what will be a big company in general.

The known big company spaces are heavily oversubscribed so nothing can be predicted.

The unknown big company spaces are unknown by definition.

using Brave on an iphone for Youtube is a godsend. Almost as good as desktop experience. Youtube app, Safari and Chrome suck enough to be unusable
