I don't want a drone coming outside my window; it's that simple. If you have a drop point for drones to deliver goods and services, fine. If you got a package, leave it in the back. But don't come up to my window knocking and say, "Are you in? Can I come in?" No.

Plus, these are airborne things. There's got to be a limit to how much they can carry. There's physics behind this. All right? If you carry a light box with a thumb drive in it that someone ordered, fine. But suppose I order a weight set? Suppose your drone is not carrying my dumbbells?

Okay, suppose you ordered a 5B bag of sugar. Or if you built the drone strong enough to carry heavy groceries, it will be loud and large. I don't see that happening. If I see a drone outside my window, I'm shooting it. Okay? I'm sorry, and I've never shot a gun in my life.

I'll go buy a gun just to shoot the drone that shows up outside my window. I don't know what kind of camera is on it; I don't know where it's from. I don't know. No, no, do something else with your drones, but don't put them by my window.

This Particle Breaks Time Symmetry

Most processes in our universe are time reversible. In other words, the physics works the same way forwards or backwards. Which is why you can’t tell if I’m playing these videos normally or in reverse. People typically point to entropy as the only excepti…

Charlie Munger: Investing During the 2023 Recession

If you think we might have on and off waves of inflation like we did prior to when Volcker stepped in at the Fed, the 70s era, of course it will happen some in the future. Yes, I think we’ll have some of that in the future. I think more inflation over th…

So we’re told this is the graph of function f right over here, and then they tell us that function g is defined as g of x is equal to one third f of x. What is the graph of g? If we were doing this on Khan Academy, this is a screenshot from our mobile app…
