I just completed a $750k seed round and this is the only thing I don't agree with. Some investors simply don't want to be in certain spaces, even if it is a good investment. Would you invest in a car when you knew nothing about that car or cars in general?

We did a $1.9M seed round and I completely agree with this.


Wait until more people start using it as an ad channel. I'm getting $1 CPM and telling all of my customers to try it out. After that I'm coming for Stack Overflow.


So while I agree with the proposed solution, no one else does, and even then we have to deal with China and India joining the developed world and what that means for CO2 emissions.

Don't forget Africa!


I recently heard Charles Hess from InferFocus talk about the changes coming from China. The United States is about to be passed up in a big way due to Xi's "China Dream"

What should the US do than? Spend our tax dollars on foreign handouts?

If US companies want to invest in SE Asia there is nothing stopping them.


I don't have an answer for you. But, I'd rather spend tax dollars building railroads in SE Asia than blowing up the Middle East. #Iraq2Trillion #neverforget


Dude, it is not 2 trillion by a long shot.

It is 268k ( https://www.iraqbodycount.org/ )


I believe he's referring to the economic cost being $2 trillion, not the death count.


Did you really think he was talking about the body count?(Have 2 trillion people even ever lived...?) He's clearly talking about the projected cost of that war.

Dollars not deaths.


If we count trees as people, there is no difference


Right now we're using the tools of taxation and legislation to transfer our country's wealth to 'elites' - mainly through taxation for 'defense' spending, patent law legislation, and finance.

Those choices are not obviously the ones that will have the most beneifical long term impact on our country's power.
