Beyond Meat also hit 15 billion market cap at peak.
I don't consider synthetic nutrition agriculture; what I'm talking about is regenerative farming practices or high tech alternatives to pesticides i.e. Carbon Robotics.
Readit NewsIf I may add my view as a formerly high-achieving semiconductor worker that Intel would benefit greatly from having right now, a lot of us pivoted to software and machine learning to earn more money. My first 2 years as a software engineer earned me more RSUs than a decade in semiconductors. Semiconductors is not prestigious work in the U.S., despite the strategic importance. By contrast, it is highly respected and relatively well remunerated in the countries doing well in it.
From this lens, the silver lining of the software layoffs going on may be to stem the bleeding of semiconductor workers to the field. If Intel were really smart, they’d be hiring more right now the people they couldn’t get or retain 3-5 years ago
Billions for fast food delivery apps, not a dime for defense or sustainable agriculture.

I neither like nor understand this restriction. It makes device failure / loss / theft a much more difficult experience to recover from than it would otherwise be. The device should be throwaway. I specifically keep old phones in case something happens to the new one.
WhatsApp is probably the stupidest example of only being able to be on a single device (but I'm forced to use WhatsApp for one specific purpose, so I already resent it). Signal does the same thing, so maybe it's related to the E2EE that WhatsApp licensed from Signal...

As is with all two factor, but don't point that out, or the "but muh security" bros will shout you down.

only if they immediately sold all the confiscated assets. The government that did the confiscation could slowly divest on a schedule to minimize the effect on any markets involved.
It depends on the degree to which the continued flow of ill-gotten gains into the system is priced into current valuations.
Everything I can find about it is overwhelmingly positive but I'd be interested to hear some counterarguments. I've never seen it in person, but to me, it is a bit too angular and brutalist. Something with a more arched styling could have been nice, if it was technically feasible.

You can't avoid cars with these anti-features if you want a new car. They're required by law in the EU.
Yeah, that's why I don't buy new cars. Put up or shut up.

When people talk about maintenance burden they aren't talking about your scenario. A codebase where you walk away for 7 years and then come back? That's something people can do now for any project in any language. When people talk about maintenance burden they're talking about what tomorrow to the next few years is going to feel like for people who actively maintain projects.
So when you're actively maintaining something and you bring in a dependency, you're in some sense outsourcing some of that work, whether it's a colleague or an outside party maintaining that library. The specifics of who begins to matter. Is it the React team maintaining that part of the codebase? Is it lonely author in Kyiv? Or is it you?
So what is it like to be the colleague of someone who wrote their own Tanstack Forms and successfully or unsuccessfully integrated with Zod and the like? Or did they choose to write their own runtime type validator too? That's maintenance burden.
Active is a relative term. The modern frontend monoculture is built for a high churn codebase. Sure, seven years is extreme, but even for two years, there will be more issues if the cold project that I'm trying to load was made with the modern, npm-based frontend monoculture versus if it was all custom code.
My brand new car has a feature called forward attention warning which is driving me insane. It is essentially a small camera located at the steering wheel column which emit a series of high beeps and have an eye icon blink in the dashboard if the car doesn't think I am looking forward.
Cases in which this can happen. - I orient myself before overtaking another car on the highway or motorway. - I position my hand wrong on the steering wheel and the camera can no longer see me. - I put on sunglasses when I am driving against a low sun.
It can be turned off, but if you live in the EU it is required to enable itself once the car has been turned off/on.
It will also happily warn me if it thinks I am speeding based on errornous gps data. This feature also turns itself back on once the car has been turned off.
Why'd you buy it?
Defense venture capital funding is literally in the billions and has resilient even in a broader VC pullback: https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insight...
It would be interesting to see the graph before 2019. For a decade, all of the investment money, talent following behind it, piled into Uber, etc.

Yes, people are starting to catch on now. Even so, investment is at best a leading indicator. In terms of existing on-the-ground domestic infrastructure, we're sorely lagging in real-world capabilities, but the better part of the last fifteen years was spent creating a vast Grubhub-type delivery infrastructure across the US while the amount of resources dedicated to peer or near-peer conflict logistics and long term agricultural production were relatively ignored.
