What is the emblem on the flag? Don't know. What is he fighting for? Don't know. How is he blind? What doesn't he see? What is behind or ahead? Don't know.

Being cynical that all effort is wasted is played out at this point. Fight for something real. Name what you're against. It should be easy in the UK.

Shocking they didn't have a printed book for a control, in addition to a digital reader.

Why aren’t there tech startup immigration sanctuary cities? We have local authorities not working with the feds for referring criminals to ICE. Could you have the same for software engineers?

Are there promising AI startups that can help with immigration?

We’ll try anything to lower prices except building more

"We demonstrate shredded furniture RoboCat had never previously seen"

$20/ton CO2 for 1T tons is $20T. Paid over 40 years, this is less than the interest we in the US pay on federal debt.

This makes me want to go back to school and major in aero/astro engineering.

I want a perfect simulation of our world - that then gets a zombie infection.

I want my street, my house, and general geography to matter in the game. Where is the hardware store? Army bases? Water?

The game starts with a limited infection, making police response to your murdering an infected neighbor problematic. The simulation models how agents would respond.

You win by killing all the zombies, whether that's year 1 or 10. If needed, that's 7 billion.

The exhaust could be a good city simulator, zombies off, which you sell to local governments.

If the drones localize, you can get a constantly updating position over radio. Even with other tools, this will help disambiguate.

There are a few different parts here from robotics that can help.

  - Tracking allows you find a how a patch of pixels move. Look up "klt" and "SIFT features". Older
  - Recognition allows you to find a given object. Look up "yolo". Newer
  - Motion modeling allows you to predict where something should be, and can include the transponder ego data. Look up "kalman filter" 
  - All three of the above should be available in existing libraries
  - If possible, engineer the environment, like putting easy to spot LED patterns on the drones. This is always the easiest

Regulations slow the pace of building.

I don't understand why more "unfilmable" books don't get launched as an animated series. Maybe execs think adults wouldn't watch it?

Biomass that falls into the deep ocean doesn't quickly cycle back into the carbon cycle, so some companies are look at the opposite, with the deep ocean as a sink. https://www.phykos.co/

But your idea is somewhat correct, and it has to do with desalinization tailings. There are companies like Heimdal which can take the high mineral runoff from desalinization and use it to make concrete. https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/heimdal

I like that you're using spatial analogies because it helps drive the point home. I visualized 50B tCO2 here: https://twitter.com/ikirigin/status/1425879839886626826

While it seems enormous, it's a very small fraction of the world.

Soil contains 4X the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere, so while scale is enormous, it isn't impossible.

The post goes through numerous sequestration techniques that could reach the scale to sequester 1000B tCO2e

Blaming supply or demand when you have an unpriced negative externality doesn't make sense. Tax carbon, and use the funds to pay for decarbonization. We'll get better and cheaper alternatives and carbon sinks.

Many quote $100 to $1000/tCO2e. But if we get down to $10, getting to net zero and negative won't break the bank.

Hey folks - OP here.

Part of what I'm doing here is trying to illuminate VC for those on the outside. The switch to 506c means I can blog a lot more openly and answer questions. Normally you only see "we closed" announcements, not a fund in process.

If you have questions or comments, I'd love to hear them.

So fish-game on the Concept2 isn't enough for yall?

The projection of decreasing launch costs is really exciting. From $5K/kg to $3K with sights on $50-$100. Huge implications! If launch is $1M, you will spend that much to design your satellite. At $50K launch, you spend less.

I couldn't help but think of this analogous to web tech. It used to cost millions to launch a dotcom. When it came down, we found a Cambrian explosion of startups and the web really got going.

And age, race, types of jobs, family structure, trust in authority, education, and probably more.

San Carlos is white, rich, and old. East Palo Alto it not.

This is a surprisingly coherent. I live in San Mateo County.

One thing I've noticed is that the cases are not evenly distributed.

  California has 600/1M new cases, vs 1000/M in South Dakota.
  LA county has 740/1M. San Mateo County has 313/1M.
  Within San Mateo County, San Carlos is 119/1M, and East Palo Alto is 675/1M.

It's incredibly hard to set policy when everything is so different, down to towns with 30K people a few miles apart.

Meta: I almost never see "trailers" for jobs, or even concise video interviews about mission. My goal here is to change that and showcase specific companies concisely.

Debate.

Learning how to represent both sides of an argument is both academically rigorous and opens kids to the idea that there are other sides.

You can do this at the dinner table, but also through formal debate clubs and classes. There are some doing this over zoom.

This phases out car sales, not the cars. Lifecycle is 15 years, so we're looking at 2050.

For context, EVs are a few percent of sales in California, and almost zero for trucks.

I love hearing from engineers building tools like this. If you're thinking about sales and marketing, get in touch: ivan@tango.vc

I took a bunch of screenshots to prepare for the session, which are available here: https://www.tango.vc/posts/working-session

But there is a backroom to restock the shelves which is the real inventory. And that back room becomes the business when delivery goes mainstream. Some robotics solutions are about building a whole warehouse for that store room to fulfill online deliveries.

"Things you can't say" is interesting because the reason it's dangerous is that a mob might react badly to it. Who is to say that the specific wave washing over social media will hit some people with this orthodox privilege or not?

I think you can mine these things by looking at diverse conversations - including those you don't find online. What sentence would you be afraid might be misinterpreted?
