$2500 for such a dish is the wrong target market. The only customer that needs internet in motion are things like boats, planes, trains and buses.

I think my takeaway advice I would have given my younger self is to identify existing marketplaces where money is already sloshing around, and focus there. Enterprise app marketplaces are the most boring thing in the world, but it's an easier place to make money than alone in wild.

Now I'm starting to dial back, kick this startup into coast mode and focus on the big change projects I failed to get traction with in my younger years when money issues meant 3 months maximum runway.

I had 3 weeks of intense chest pains after 1st Pfizer and another week of mild chest pains after the 2nd dose. All tests normal. Four separate doctors said it was a common side effect and they had no idea what it was.

Now 3 months after my 2nd dose I still get chest discomfort after lifting weights, and have had to quit caffeine entirely as it results in days of chest pains after physical activity. Didn't have those issues prior.

Vaccine-induced costochondritis seems to fit best.

Imagine acquiring a company via your non-profit purely to grab the name and domain names for your for-profit.

3 weeks of chest pains on the 1st Pfizer (+emergency visit) and 1 week of chest pains on the 2nd Pfizer. ECG, x-ray and blood tests normal. Four different doctors: "we don't know what the side effect is, can't diagnose it, and we're seeing it quite often". Yeah that was concerning.

Centralized much?

Facebook acquires Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus. Regulators: crickets

How they managed to fuck up the UX on that core button is insane. Two clicks to create a new note. Why? Just why?

"The Australian Securities and Investments Commission found one in five buy now, pay later users is missing payments, half of users aged between 18 to 29 cut back on essential items to make repayments, and more than 1.1 million transactions in 2019 incurred multiple missed payment fees.

It also warned 15 per cent of users, and half under 29, had taken out an additional loan to pay for the services, while 55 per cent of consumers paying late had used at least two different buy now, pay later providers in the past six months."

They're your standard loan shark predator disguised with flashy marketing and bankrolled by VCs.

Autopilot is iOS. Openpilot is Android.

Far more devices running Android than iOS in the world. And unlike consumer tech, the average car on the road is over 12 years old.

So there's a long window of opportunity where we might see more people choose to upgrade their current vehicles to self-driving, versus those choosing to buy new vehicles with inbuilt self-driving hardware.

It's the same reason Apple runs a huge chunk of their international revenues through Ireland.
