$99 recline your seat fee


I'd pay $99 so that the person in front of me *can't* recline their seat


Perfect, digital bidding app on each seat so you and the person in front of you can see who will pay more for reclining control.


Just know that when this inevitably happens, it’s now on you for putting it out into the universe.


I prefer when they recline as that always seems to give me extra knee room which is the main place that I am most cramped. When they recline the part of the chair where my knees are slides forward about in inch or 2.


You get that for free on some Ryanair planes.


One of the few nice things about flying with them.


I'd pay $99.01 so I can recline again... oh wait, I see where this is going...


Why not? Let’s also reverse the auction, make a C2B market:

I’d offer $300 roundtrip to Lahaina for 5-10 days, airlines? Any takers?


I'd pay $99 to sit across the aisle from you two and giggle.


$150-200B worth of hardware. About 2 million GPUs.

So this investment is somewhat structured like the Microsoft investment where equity was traded for Azure compute.


Vera Rubin will be about 2.5kw and Feynman will be about 4kw.

All-in, you’re looking at a higher footprint maybe 4-5kw per GPU blended.

So about 2 million GPUs.


Your apps constantly refresh despite only tabbing out to other apps for seconds. Super duper annoying and frustrating.


This is demonstrably false to anyone with one of these devices. I can page over to my podcast app that I used days ago and find it is exactly where I left it.


Mine don't.


You’re also underestimating that some people think really quickly. Way faster than you can type.


I also think i think very quickly and faster than i can type :-D


Typing is a big bottleneck. Speak for yourself


They did this at MIT like 12 years ago.


Doxxers getting doxxed is peak irony.


Probably because people view this grifting as something negative.


That’s the irony. Doing it now is just hampering competition and making it better for the incumbents.
