Anyone know how I can invest/get exposure to hetzner as a business? Doesn't seem to be a public company.
I can honestly see these guys becoming a HUGE cloud provider.

Misnaming the econ prize as a "Nobel" prize and placing it's winners on the level of great physicists, chemists etc risks in exacerbating this problem.
Much of the research done by econ memorial prize winners is walked back or proven false later. It isn't hard science. Much of it is politically driven and advice and practitioners are used by politicians to justify certain actions, many of them dysfunctional or corrupt.
Any fork or decision by anyone to change this 21M number means that for me (and most hardcore bitcoiners I know) the chain which sticks to Satoshi's 21M becomes the REAL bitcoin chain.
21M is non negotiable. If it doesn't have 21M, it simply isn't BTC.
Dow also dropped >50% in GFC, so 2x leverage would've ended you.
Taking ultra risky bets when you are young is sensible because it isn't actually risky. This is because for a 30yo with good career prospects, your future career is probably worth an amortized $5 million dollars. If you have $200k in savings, that is only 4% of your true net worth. If you lose it, you still really have $5 million dollars. Therefore playing loose with it is pretty reasonable.
If you're 63 and will retire in 2 years, your amortized future career earnings are probably $200k and your assets $5million, and then you should be conservative.
I did EM for 6 months and hated it. This is because it just doesn't suit my personality.
To be good at EM you need to be: - Comfortable with being a kinda bad at everything and great at nothing - Comfortable with large amounts of uncertainty and risk and having to make decisions anyway - Being abused by drunk/mentally ill patients constantly - Being patronized by medical colleagues in other specialties
If you had all the resources spare to achieve that, you could just keep them probably.
In the short term, more information might cause harm because doctors are risk averse & scared of lawsuits and err on overbiopsy/overtreat, and many of our treatments aren't as good as we think they are, and all of this makes patient anxious.
In the long term, turning the information firehose on full blast means we can work out which incidental findings are best ignored or pursued and overall more data will help us.
The problem is that it is unethical to do #2 in the short term even if it is the long term ethical thing to do.
It doesn't include enough of the big 3 costs in people's lives : housing, education and healthcare.
It includes whacky stuff like "oh your cellphone is faster now than 5 years ago, we're going to say that you're getting 10x the phone for roughly the same price and use that to disprove inflation".
It ignores asset inflation (stocks, real estate, venture capital, everything else) driven by QE. The average person never saw the QE because it went straight to banks and inflated asset prices. Rich people with assets made 4x their money. Wage slaves saw none of it. None of this is counted in inflation measures.
Corrupt russian oil and gas companies trade at 4x earnings. At that valuation with annual earnings of $90 billion aramco should be valued at more like $360 billion.
Sorry, but that's the penalty you pay for being a corrupt journalist murdering autocrat.
Time will tell who is correct.
Well, this was the narrative up until 2008.
> From what I can find, a large majority of the world's population has access to and uses bank accounts, and the vast majority of the rest use cash to transact wages and purchases.
All of which are at the mercy of whoever is in power at the time. In the past few years: - 80 million turks have lost 80% of the value of their cash savings - 40 million argentines have lost 90% of the value of their cash savings - 30 million venezuelans have lost 99% of the value of their cash savings
Many other countries have high single digit or double digit true rates of inflation. Even the US rate of inflation is likely double what the official measures are.
You think this is good?
These would deliver packages, groceries and takeaway meals.
Looking for cofounders/enthusiasts - see:
There are armies of weird looking accounts posting and upvoting obsessively in odd, non-organic patterns. Someone is obviously running a massive sockpuppet army.
Most people with sub 9 figure net worth should probably steer towards investing in larger derisked businesses as they are unlikely to back the 100+ startups required to get the 1 really big winner.
In contrast, large VCs who have the capacity to invest in several hundred startups are much better suited to this form of investing as they can derisk by having a large portfolio size?
Japan is probably the closest the world has to an ethnostate and could well be described as ethno-supremacists. They don't cop any flack for this because they're not westerners and only white people can be guilty of racism and xenophobia because colonialism (which ignores the fact that japan was a brutal colonial overlord to korea and taiwan).
Design city size "Spidercam" style delivery systems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDGAa6ww7S4
3-4 tall pylons with heavy duty winches and kevlar cable linked in the middle to hold a winch system that can lower a delivery box anywhere in the city.
1/4 inch kevlar rope weighs 2lb per 100ft, therefore a 2 mile kevlar rope would weigh 210lbs, but has a load bearing capacity of 9500lbs. So this system would allow accurate delivery anywhere in a 2mile x 2 mile area.
Potentially these could be coupled to allow transfer between areas to allow deliveries to be passed along a chain.
Multiple winches could be stacked on pylons to allow multiple sets of ropes, with winches which are near to delivery/pickup points moved downwards and to lower rope tension to avoid other winches/ropes bumping into them.
The really useful low hanging fruit of EHR is an electronic portal for radiology results, blood results, discharge summaries and letters. If you have a way to link family doctor/pharmacy prescriptions with hospitals, thats great too.
My ideal health IT system assuming perfect AI and everything else would be:
- Automatic recording of everything discussed and done between nurses/doctors with no input from the doctor and producing a record which reads in a sensible way
- Automatic prompting for things the doctor/nurse was likely missed or should discuss during a consult (but only to a sensible level of detail)
- Automatic checking for common ommissions, or things that are being done that perhaps shouldn't be, so a patient who has a microcytic anaemia triggers a check to ask a doctor "do you want to order iron studies on this patient?"
