I thought this was about the college football conference for a second.

Flexport’s tariff simulator accounts for the 232 requirements:

It’s free even for non Flexport customers.

This blog post from Retool was really helpful for answering that question: https://retool.com/blog/erp-for-engineers

This logistics simulator was built by x.com/rooshonline in 1 week as part of the Gauntlet AI games hackathon...

In actuality a telex release is just an email that opts you out of the secure release process so once a container has been 'telex' released anyone with the BL number can go pick it up at the port.

America is just too big for trains. In europe you don't take a train between large countries. I tried to take a train from Madrid to Paris it was going to be like 11 hours while the flight was 2. Nobody does this. Trains are useful for within a country, which in the US is like traveling within a given state. Sure we could invest a lot in that. But the idea that people are going to cross the country on a train is idiotic.

Great idea let’s sail them through the bab al mandeb

What if you chose to follow people who you enjoy following instead?

Can't imagine his kids hearing this news today. Just breaks me thinking about it. Hold your loved ones close.

It's crucial to retrain your brain not to have negative feelings toward those who have a lot of money. Otherwise you will subconsciously undermine yourself to ensure you never get a lot of money.

TIL Kurt Vonnegut was a Wikipedia kid (someone who's dad had/would've had a Wikipedia article about them)

Hey there, email me ryan@flexport.com we will get you in the interview loop. We don't require college that is a big mistake on our part.

Detention is when you keep a container out too long. Demurrage is when you wait too long to pick it up.

People were locked down so they stopped spending money on services (hotels, restaurants, travel, massage, etc) and instead bought more goods. This happened at the same time governments printed trillions and pumped it into the hands of consumers and businesses. The result was a 20% surge in container volumes, which our supply chain infra just wasn't ready for.

Roberta Sparrow predicted this in her book the Philosophy of Time Travel.

Great book if you're interested in America's history in large scale drug dealing.

The answer to the bonus question is opium. In particular the Forbes family (not related to the magazine folks) traded about 20% of all the opium sold in China during this period with the other 80% coming from the British East India Company and other UK-based trading houses.

Fun fact, the Forbes family is still one of the wealthiest families in America, they own their own massive private island called Naushon Island right next to Martha's Vineyard. They also have their own family museum in Boston where you can learn about their trading history in Asia which I'm super eager to visit And the patriarch of the Forbes Family today is... wait for it... John Kerry. When Obama made Kerry his secretary of state the Chinese weren't super thrilled, they have a long memory.

in Civ 6 you can toggle back to the 2D graphics really easily, i sometimes play that way bc its easier to see the resource squares.

It's unbelievably bad. This is literally the only thing you need a wiki for. I can't believe this is the market leader. Notion is going to crush them.

Even Headspace has gotten this 100% wrong. It's so sad.

Yes, Amazon does more retail sales than Walmart. Their "revenue" is only 15% on all third party sales, which are now more than half of total sales on the platform. They don't report on total sales on the platform on purpose to avoid drawing attention to the fact that they are bigger than Walmart.

They are not selling the actual products of these startups but rather super cute miniaturized versions that they made.

Flexport does it.

Before the industrial revolution 25% of deaths were homicide.

Could the recovery of whale populations have a role in this?

Does that mean targeted assassinations?
