Inverted yield curve has predicted 10 of the last 3 recessions


on a 2 year window its pretty accurate. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y Max view

also true that 2 years a very long time for an economic/investment hypothesis to play out


It seems like that would be a lot of work to maintain. Like as soon as companies start updating stuff (funding rounds, new products etc) your information about them becomes useless.


Yes, well there are two things to be said:

1. The data entry problem always applies. Unless the data is already entered somewhere in a "canonical" form, it has to be entered again.

2. If the solution is to try to offload the work of data entry to the companies themselves, then google docs and airtable already present a solution since they offer an interface for that.


If you made your money on bay area unicorns, I think its your responsibility to keep reinvesting a portion of it in high growth startups.

If this becomes a trend the bubble will surely burst. For this reason I think we should publicly shame him into keeping the doors on his VC open, or doing something else to contribute to the ecosystem, rather than using all of his money on zero sum political games.


So if you make your money working for some company (say Google), do you owe working for Google something? Do you owe them say, free tutoring classes after you retire for new employees? Free bathroom cleanings after you retire?

Why do you think someone owes someone else money, just because they are rich?


>I think its your responsibility to keep reinvesting a portion of it in high growth startups.

Well then it wouldn't be your money if you are obligated to spend it on certain things.


Not sure if this is sarcastic or not. If it isn't, it's ridiculous.

If this is a bubble, it needs to burst (or, preferably but imaginarily, gradually unwind in a non-traumatic fashion) as soon as possible. That's why bubbles are bad - they're going to burst eventually. Better to do it when they're smaller than bigger. And the goal definitely shouldn't be to keep them going as long as possible by artificially sustaining them with more and more speculative money. (Gee, when has that happened before?)

And if it is not a bubble, Chris Sacca no longer investing in high-growth startups is not going to have any impact.


Yeah. Let's publicly shame someone because we feel entitled to capital they earned.


No.


Nobody said the transition would be easy, and nobody said what we have now is the gig economy... The gig economy we were promised is made up of decentralized enterprises built on protocols like ethereum, not market companies.


The gig economy is not build upon technology ideas, it is built on disposable and expendable labor.


Meet the new economy, just like the old economy.


When its here you'll know.


>Nobody said the transition would be easy

Actually many said it -- Uber for one.


Actually I believe they said something like "You people are just placeholders until we can create a viable autonomous vehicle"


Their actions said that, yes. Their ads, no.


True. I am viewing this from my post-humanist Bay Area echo chamber.


Why would I use this instead of x.ai?


Oort - the cloud, in space.

We are building an orbital communications network and linux based satellite operating system that lets you program your small sat in widely used programming languages, and gives you access to unprecedented, low latency compute and storage on orbit, and enables uninterrupted connectivity to the ground.


Good lord, the Star Trek geek in me loves this idea. I have no idea why yet, but I want to become a customer, where do I sign up?


That sounds amazing! Forget the home cloud, try a satellite.


yeah you're gonna have to define low latency here

what are you doing differently to solve the predictable latency problem? having all the processing happening in the compute cluster so that there isn't enough back and forth to the ground to notice?


Yes!
