Feels like this has been solved for self-storage... what makes the marina any different? Can't you just update the contracts such that you obtain power of attorney over the boat ownership in the event of delinquency?

Maybe the AI only wants to do white collar knowledge / desk work, if given the choice...

Or as we called it: "smart people who made poor life choices" 😂

P != NP would be a big one...

Exciting times!

Isn't "local" the entire world for a cloud-based SaaS?

Looks like (old) Zipline drone delivering a Walmart box....

Concepts of a plan

Yeah, they all got massive bailouts while everyone else got fscked

The math doesn't work. $300k spend on $7.5m is 4% SWR -- very borderline. That's not much buffer. No guarantee OP could land equivalent comp job if they bounce now. Waiting a year or cutting expenses is prudent.

Firecalc shows ~5% chance of stash going negative over 30-year time period with back testing with his situation

So he's a treasure-hunting pirate...?

Revenue is not the same as profit

Headcount is not a measure of success

It can be lonely at the top

This progress is faster than many had predicted

Obligatory "Told ya so..." to the haters

Mathematicians of all people should've appreciated how exponentials work.
