Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I dunno how to tell you this but the Setting Money On Fire company isn’t losing money on account of it being a weirdo NPO structure…

yeah but there is a difference between losing some money on R&D and simply having an unviable business model.

Would people on Lemmy actually know the difference though? Like half the people here don't believe in the premise of money and capitalism to begin with. How are they expected to understand the finer points of business?

oh shit, it’s the only capitalist on lemmy and they’re in this thread! I’ve been waiting so long to tell you this:

Oh no, the premise of money and capitalism, my only weakness.
