I don't think the now or never thinking is healthy, but I certainly understand the motivation. I myself have never really fit into a career path climbing the corporate ladder, and entrepreneurship is a skill that takes time to develop. When you're oscillating between stability and bleeding money, it's natural to want to go all in on an opportunity when it presents itself.

Both statements would be correct. SpaceX bought xAI a couple months ago.

Damn, I somehow managed to miss that. Not sure if that's more ridiculous or not but thanks for the clarification!

I'd say it makes sense to build for one really heavily traveled route.

For those who remember Digg, the recently relaunched a new version and shut it down almost immediately. They were getting hammered with AI bots when it was realized the Digg apparently still has good SEO. The explain it right on homepage.

I see it as a great crutch until I can afford a designer.

Prepare for the prices to go up!

Only if we're bringing back Token Ring, too.

That might be challenging, I hear people are pretty short on tokens these days.

There's only one token! It's just very popular.

While we're at what about older physical layers? Coaxial based stuff seems cool in 2026

Isn’t that what MoCa is for?

Isn’t twinax just “I heard you like coax so I put coax in your coax.”

twinax I think is used more like a balanced line with shielding. Twisted pair is preferred because it is cheaper, but for short stuff like SATA the cost difference is so low it might as well be used

If it’s not 10BaseT I can’t see small spread adoption.

Arcnet for me.

Dumb people doing dumb stuff incur a cost for all of us, whether it's through taxpayer-funded healthcare or higher premiums for private insurance.

> whether it's through taxpayer-funded healthcare or higher premiums for private insurance.

Insurance should insure your risk, and that's fairly independent of what other people are doing. (Of course, other people driving dangerously can endanger your health, and thus drive up your health insurance costs.)

What you have in mind is probably a consequence of forbidding insurance companies from charging people according to risk, and forcing them to charge people some average of a pool they are placed in?


You want the best spread possible, by having the largest pool possible.

We can all debate and discuss the best way to get there, but mathematically it's a pool that includes most everyone.
