The title is a phrase I keep repeating to people in tech. I’ll keep updating this list as time passes. The data in support of this is extraordinary. There’s no comeback for California, NY will endure, Texas will have a bit of a bump, but its “tech gem” – “Austin” is run by a very […]

I’ve been reading this book lately on the skin’s microbiome. The book itself is pretty amazing, it’s written by Dr.Skotnicki and does a step by step breakdown of the history of skin and hygiene treatment along with the skin’s microbiology and how the interplay between them works.

I’ve written this piece because I’m often asked about topics on energy and more. I will periodically update this post. I do not believe that mankind should optimize for having the lowest CO2 emissions and am weary of renewables. I think this is a false goal that ignores the true stochastic complexity of pollution in […]

The single party rule of California and its pension, infrastructure, and healthcare debt most negatively impact upward mobility for the non-licensed blue collar working class.

I’ve spent time researching developer founders who have made outsized returns. I’ve found that many of the ones making beaucoups of money are signed up for fintech companies that most of the developers I’ve met have never even heard of. Developers who know how these technologies work and have used them before have a higher […]

Photo by Ant Rozetsky on Unsplash I‘m a rookie industrial supply shock investor who focuses on publicly traded companies that require STEM competencies, specifically — chemistry, biology , operations research, and materials engineering— whereby the talent pool of relevant talent to assess such companies, their technologies, and markets are smaller.

When you leverage risky capital to do non-risky things, I’m not sure how that plays out. I’m probably wrong, but I’m keeping a running list of banking startups I’m tracking here.

On twitter, I’ve discussed the notion of how real time banking APIs will change everything. The existing banking system makes operating a business a living hell for consultants. No real time APIs. No easy way to add accountants for some of them. No % wise split based routing of income. I’m looking forward to watching @trycrux crush, […]

I tend to meet a lot of white people who chalk up the misfortune of black people to personal responsibility, especially in the South. I also meet some successful black people who do the same. I don’t always agree with them and tend to believe there’s more to the situation. I don’t meet a lot […]
