You should checkout Matt Stroller’s monopoly newsletter.

This is basically what he is doing except uncovering a monopoly in depth takes months, not a day. Amazing work.

E.g. here for cheerleading monopoly article he wrote

How many of you ticked this box, thinking it would enable you to reserve with Google instead of with Chope (or any third party)? But actually it would register your for more spam.

What about creating a chatroulette for deep conversations only?

Participants could rate willingness to engage in dee conversation and you would quickly only keep the right kind of people on the platform.

Makes you wonder why this was not properly done 10 years ago.

It’s like, on one side we pay taxes to people who build roads and maintain databases and maps of what they have built (the government)

On the other side, we (indirectly) pay for Google to run around with car to re-map everything as if the data did not exist in the first place.

Seems quite inefficient, no?

I think the video was accelerated (look at cars in the background or wind in trees/on grass or the occasional bird/insect).

Which means the drone may not have been as fast/manœuvrerabke as it looks.

It would explain the crazy Camera tracking skills.

Similarly, I really have to wonder about the externalities of having windows in office buildings.

While the view they provide can be nice, windows have a real cost to productivity and attention.

Edit: research actually points to the opposite of my teasing comment above. [1] But then again, maybe playing a mini game boosts productivity?

Everything you mention seems possible to replicate with 2 cameras, a few sensors (and a X years of AI/software dev). Which is the point of people saying cameras are good enough if human’s eyes are good enough.

Or am I missing something?

After some research, it is possible to short Tether for roughly 15% borrowing fee per year.

Who is with me ?
