    Nuclear is safest form of energy the world has known (measured on death rates / TWh). Humans are bad at calculating risk, our population rather breath coal smoke over decades. More deaths likely happen from installing solar on roofs than from anything related to nuclear.

    One of my favorite hypocrisies. We largely idolize sports superstars but berate people who created their wealth through business and inventing.

    Had an investor tell me yesterday "just learned about this company 48 hours ago and we will invest". Strikes me as strange to be proud & brag about committing to a 10 year+ relationship after 48 hours..(company has been around for a few years)

    Mind blown. Ant Financial just raised the largest private round with a $14B raise at possibly a $150B valuation according to WSJ?! And what’s even crazier, as @wolfejosh pointed out most people have NEVER heard of this company.
