Is any of this "offensive"? No, but it's instructive. Notice the people blurting "waffles!" above aren't internet randos, like the reply gals that got Jay so upset to start with. They're operators of startups and journalists who were published in the economist, like, last week.

They're an ingroup.

one of the better pieces of job-hunting advice ive gotten was "sometimes people start small businesses and startups because they're otherwise unemployable"

Europe has no Red40 dye, and no start-ups. America and China has Red40, many startups. We have accidentally discovered a substance that generates economic dynamism, and the bad side effects are treated with amphetamines, we should be embracing it.

I’m reading a 2012 book about YCombinator and keep reading passages that are just a quilt of red flags.
n Paul Graham's view, startups are qualitatively superior to large corporations in just about every way. Leading the list of the startup's superior attributes is the ability of its founders to choose one another and then hire employees considering nothing but merit: One advantage startups have over established companies is that there are no discrimination laws about starting businesses. For ex-ample, I would be reluctant to start a startup with a woman who had small children, or was likely to have them soon. But you're not allowed to ask prospective employees if they plan to have kids soon. Believe it or not, under current U.S. law, you're not even allowed to discriminate on the basis of intelligence. Whereas when you're starting a company, you can discriminate on any basis you want about who you start it with.! This was March 2005, when Graham addressed the Harvard Comer Society. He spoke as a retired startup founder; he was also speaking

Mostly conferences. Startups can be quite nice relative to the baseline because they can freely choose to care about diversity from the start without a ton of historical baggage

It’s no longer a matter of “if” but rather “when.” The Dot Com Bubble failed because startups spent lavishly and grew too fast.

The AI bubble is different. More capital intensive. More opex intensive. Every part of the chain is unprofitable other than NVIDIA.

I’m really fucking sick of hearing people say “this is just like the dot com bubble,” especially when it comes to startups. In the late 90’s and very early 2000s, the incorrect assumption was that because anybody could start a website, any internet business would be huge. This assumption gave anybody who mentioned “internet” a stock bump and credulous coverage. My favourite example was about an investment made by Fyffes, a global producer of fruit with over 2 billion euros in revenue at the time, in a website called “World of Fruit” from a January 2000 piece in the Irish Times: It is only when a workable website turns a business model on its head that people really begin to understand how the Internet can change traditional business. The latest example to shake up an industry and have a direct impact on the company share price is Irish fruit company, Fyffes. Last week, it officially launched worldoffruit.com, the first Internet fruit market.… Launched with a $10 million (€9.7 million) investment from Fyffes, discussions have already begun for venture-capital funding which is expected to amount to more than $20 million, according to industry sources. In October 2000, WOF announced it had “chosen Coface, one of the largest credit insurance agencies in the world, as a partner to provide online credit ratings and commercial insurance to worldoffruit.com users.” In January 2001, Fyffes “axed plans to develop its internet venture worldoffruit” and laid off half of its staff. The Irish Independent added one remarkable detail: Just a year ago, some analysts said worldoffruit could be worth between euro 600m and euro 1bn if floated on the stock exchange. Other players have been slow to come on board and the only real business generated came from Fyffes itself, one analyst noted. World of Fruit’s only real customer was, unsurprisingly, Fyffes itself. So, for the sake of our sanity, let’s separate the two kinds of “dot com startups” into two comparables: Dot Com Website Startups Dot Com Infrastructure Startups And then immediately say that they do not remotely compare to the AI bubble. There are really only a few kinds of AI startups: AI infrastructure companies like CoreWeave that exist to buy GPUs and rent them to people. AI software startups built on top of models made by other people. AI labs that make their own models.

To help EU Inc. companies compete for the best people, employee stock options will be simpler to offer and easier to manage across borders.

We will also fully digitalise insolvency procedures and introduce a fast-track process for startups.

So that EU entrepreneurs can start again, more easily.

Europa kan drie dingen doen tegen de tech-oligarchen aan de andere kant van de oceaan:

1. Start publieke varianten op voor Twitter en Facebook.
2. Zorg ervoor dat Europese startups kunnen concurreren tegen deze Amerikaanse techgiganten
3. Normeren, normeren en nog eens normeren.

In een videoboodschap laat Meta-oprichter Mark Zuckerberg geen twijfel bestaan over de koers die het bedrijf achter Facebook en Instagram kiest: die van Trump. Meta wil de strijd aangaan tegen Europese regels en hekelt de doorgeschoten „censuur” op zijn eigen platforms.

The Elon Musk Industrial Complex is basically running on elite sunk cost fallacy at this point. All the Masters Of The Universe who figured Tesla was just the start of a much larger wave went big on a wave of naive-to-scammy startups, and only reviving Tesla and Musk's halo can save their funds.

An accelerator can record every mentor session and still forget the startup.

The real test is whether context, failed assumptions and next steps survive when mentors change. 🧠
