tzm··on China has pioneered a law to empower people over algorithms?
> "China is leading the way towards a better relationship with algorithms"

Speechless. There is plenty of evidence to counter this point. China already tracks what every citizen does.

The author comes off as a pundit for the CCP.

tzm··on Show HN: ML enabled creative tools for artists and designers
Small note: Clicking 'Sign Up' routes to 'Sign In' modal requiring another click to sign up to update the form component. Small detail, but worth commenting on. Flow is broken.

This level of responsive and attention to detail is a good example of why you will likely win in this space. Impressive.

> By definition, Ponzi scheme’s, like musical chairs, do work as long as people keep playing.

A shared heuristic, not a definition. You pretty much defined economic participation or confidence in any monetary system (applicable to all markets).

tzm··on Welcoming our first riders in San Francisco
> All rides in the program will have an autonomous specialist on board for now

If you drive a Tesla w/ FSD, is it chic to refer to yourself as an Autonomous Specialist?

tzm··on Ask HN: Building a startup while working elsewhere and parenting?
Yes, totally possible to build a startup part-time. 35 is a great age (experience / energy), but insignificant towards specific success. Your personal situation is more of an indicator. Frankly, I recommend saving money while focusing on your network and/or personal brand. Work towards building a startup: quality people, innovative product, efficient process and cheap capital.
tzm··on Show HN: YouTube Musical Spectrum – visualizer for YouTube with musical notes
When I read notes, I express through interpretation as a spectrum of emotion. So this spectral visualization is pretty much how I visually interpret musical notes, especially when playing by ear.

tzm··on Mighty Makes Google Chrome Faster
I think it's a confusing proposition to claim Mighty makes Chrome faster, which in fact it's replacing Chrome with a cloud-based video streaming service - a totally different architecture and operational model.

For consumer scale, I think decentralized (edge compute) wins. Possibly a good product for enterprise. Regardless, Mighty has a great team backed by top investors. No doubt they'll innovate their way through it.

tzm··on John Cleese Sells the Brooklyn Bridge as an NFT
IMO, NFTs are relevant as pop culture artifacts of a tokenized economy. It's less about the art, and more about the artist and buyers as a collective story. Valuations are high due to liquidity, technology and timing as a cultural shift.
tzm··on Tesla shares driven more by Reddit than fundamentals or valuation, study finds
Barclays has a history of writing short pieces on Tesla:

* "Barclays slashed its price target on Tesla to $150 from $192"

* "Barclays Calls It a 'Niche Carmaker'"

* "Morgan Stanley lifts target price on Tesla to $810, while Barclays reiterates $230 view"

* "While we still believe TSLA is fundamentally overvalued, we see nothing to prevent the shares moving higher in the coming weeks"

Please.

tzm··on SpaceX gets $886M from FCC to subsidize Starlink in 35 states
I live in the Mission hills of SF Bay and pay $600 / mo for internet via mobile hotspot (LTE). HughesNet is terrible. Nothing else is available. I can't wait for Starlink beta!
tzm··on Lambda: Turn Excel formulas into custom functions
Allow me to reminisce.. in 2012 I created a JavaScript VM extension that executes custom functions inside native Excel. The extension also had a corresponding web-based front-end for creating apps that read/write directly to Excel. This was my baby, but investors (ie, YC) didn't think it was disruptive enough. Now I see these apps (ie, AirTable) pop up every month. Should I open source it?

tzm··on Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on possible stifling US crypto regulation
Brian makes a case about the side effects of self-hosted wallets and decentralized identity (DIDs). However, he doesn't talk about how a hosted wallets (ie, Coinbase) has side effects as well.. people are effectively locked out of Coinbase accounts due to automated verification failures and no support.
