Basically Intel has been greedy / hasn't had the competition. The result of Moore's law is still quite possible it seems. Even with a slowdown in chip density; computing prices can fall on similar historical curves now that AMD is competing.

As a someone in my late 20s I could sort of see it BUT not with a family and child. Seems insane. If you were broke and unmarried I could see it being enticing. Also, he potentially thought he would make more? If it was a 1.25M he could have thought he would have received more or that it was actually a smaller haul than imagined/

I don't think you could really disappear depending on your pursuer/ threat model. However, if you were to make more money than you needed to survive you could presumably invest in something like Bitcoin or alt-currency and with the legalisation of crowd-funding you could potentially also make tangible investments in companies through similar mechanisms to the blockchain.

Again, I don't think you could knock the ball out of the park or allude a motivated state agency if you were a terrorist or something; but if you were in a similar position to the subject of the article you could probably avoid capture and maintain a semblance of normalcy.

he's only run YC for 3 years. Not knowing him personally; everything I've seen from him publicly points to him believing that he can do more as head of YC than in a public office like governor. I also suspect he believes that to do either job effectively it would be mutually exclusive. I think he is committed to YC short term; but maybe you are correct if you look pretty far downfield.

SpaceX was the launch provider for a 10-sat Iridium cluster 3 weeks ago so they must have restructured favorably as that launch succeeded on May 2, 2017.

SpaceX and many smallSat providers are.

Uber tech isn't exactly google[1] in difficulty to implement, but it isx pretty ridiculous to suggest they go out and build an uber clone for 300k-600k. Not only would they need PMs but they would need to develop and build iOS and Android versions of this technology and then all the backend algorithims.

Then they could build in all the business logic to store driver and rider information securely as well as securely charge and pay them.

Then operate the business by marketing it and attracting drivers to the platform.

Subsidize Uber vs. All of That? On a 600K MAX budget for a town too small to seriously consider >2 buses, using an existing Lyft or Uber-esque service is a no brainer.

[1] I mean what google does is a lot more comkplicated than what Uber does. That said, google is alleging that large swathes of the Uber AI program are literally"exactly the same" as Waymo...

I think GPS has progressed to the point that it would be difficult to stray far enough to get lost, or marooned for that matter, on a 3 hour cruise. That said, the likelihood you would not be able to communicate the boats location or be found by the massive influx in boat traffic would be low.

Impact is important as "monopoly" is subjective. For example, in Googles financial filings they can't break down numbers because *the search industry is highly competitive and we face challenges from the many other players in the industry".

So a company might have close to 75% market share in an industry that matters and they would be a lot easier to prosecute vs the company w/ 100% market (a fleshlight, or other trivial niche thing)

Maybe you personally know parent poster but I saw nothing indicating "his president" was Donald Trump. This false dichotomy is another poison. Obama was a man, he did good and bad things, and also had no say in others.

To pretend a person is above criticism, or that these issues are 2 sided is absurd. This is an instance of what that poster (imo) is talking about.

Edit: what user jmyles is talking about. People are close to the median and also outliers. Saying you hate obama (or implying you disagree with a single policy during his administration as that post did) isn't a tacit endorsement or ballot punch for someone running in an unrelated election after he left office. That logic is very flawed

They probably set those the highest so passerbys see people win most and sit down. That is what I seem to have heard but a case could be made either way

Shard it out and have several accounts. If you do that much business, set up accounts/companies for subsectors of what you are selling.
