Suddenly see sumo oranges everywhere. so went down the rabbit hole on them.

New variant started in 2011. But with 4 years to get to production

Unsurprisingly they are indeed the orange industry's honey crisp. Who says innovation is dead haha Image
Only one company in US makes them. In asia at least very similar variants are way more common i think

look at this launch calendar haha Image
or in donut chart form Image

My conspiracy theory is that oil isn’t dinosaurs. It’s the carbon capture technology of the dinosaurs

This is the only thing I want to believe. And makes all carbon capture tech innovation infinitely more funny to me.

Here's chart I made for myself that I think about. Basically the only time period of US history where we've gone this long without a president winning with 75%+ of electoral college was post-civil war period

Lots of ways to interpret this.
One would be to think about what are plausible paths of someone getting those numbers in today's age. If we expect reversion to mean, than it's very interesting to understand what paths someone will cut through it.

Another interpretation of course would be to be bearish. A third
is to think party system has gotten more "efficient" at being roughly evenly split.

You might be wondering what is that datapoint of someone winning with less than 50%. Is that even possible?!?!

We're at odd ground right now where there's not really any medium for mid/long form discussion on blog posts anymore

Blog post replies not really a thing. Twitter used to be but less a place for discussion. Private email and group chat sort of the place, but issues with both
Email or spinning up something like a discourse seems like the temporary solution I'm increasingly tempted by

Latter is tempting after seeing some successes in it on protocol forums for long form. But has whole list of other reasons high activation energy
but it is very odd that there are essays I read where literally do not know where one discusses them

Most I read wouldn't be hacker news fodder anyways. But fwiw I think hacker news is not this either.

As always remarkably impressed by vitalik's writing. Do think he's writing at a level that few are matching in discourse with him, which is shame.

Personally, I think two additions that it's not clear market has consensus on are
1. is financialization a core attribute or a tempo
rary distribution method for crypto

2. is the reliance on exit as the safeguard a temporary or long term solution. Which implies views on the long term stability of individual crypto projects vs constant churn due to the incentives towards defection we've seen market give today
subpoint buried within the 2nd point is that I think there's probably a better understanding of some kind of meta-project players where you should see exit into new tokens not as churn but as capture of a more informed / capitalized elite in crypto. And I suspect the data would
