What's the single best thing happening in technology right now? According to entrepreneur and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen , it's the ability to live in rural Wisconsin but still earn a Silicon Valley salary.
Andreessen also explains to EconTalk host Russ Roberts why software is still eating the world, why he's an optimist, and why he's still bullish on Bitcoin and the blockchain. This is one of the most interesting Econtalks I have listened to. The first part provided a kind of small education in the way the Economy is divided into two sectors, the very productive smaller fast- growing ones and the giants of Health, Education and Housing.
What was most interesting was the explanation of how the Government instead of helping solve their problems engages in the restricting of supply and the encouraging of demand which worsens them. As I have no real knowledge of Economic matters this is for me an interesting point, a possible truth and explanation but one I have nothing of my own to say about. A second topic the one having to do with the immortalization brought about by the Internet and its ability to save ever picture of us ever taken, and every small comment we make, and perhaps even our every everyday motion and action is one I have thought a great deal about.
Here I more sympathize with the questioning attitude of Russ Roberts rather than the gung-ho positive feeling of Marc Andreesen. First of all, Marc Andreesen speaks with confidence of the descendants in five -hundred years. And this leads to the most important general point about the seemingly endless amount of stuff deposited on the Internet. Who is really going to take interest in most of it, and why should they?
What it seems to me many of us are doing by depositing our work on the Internet is creating a false self-delusional immortality which we will not in any case take long-run satisfaction from. This said I will repeat what I said at the outset about this conversation being one of great interest and enjoyment for me. Even the last bit about the history of the office and the great freedom given by the Internet to contact more people and travel to meet interesting ones was informative.
It might be unrealistic to expect an objective take on Bitcoin from somebody who is heavily invested in it, but Mr Andreessen come off very much like a smooth talking salesman in this interview.
Arguing that it is a good store of value ignores the fact that its price swings wildly. Everything I know about Bitcoin comes from Econtalk. I thought the whole point and the feature that positively excites me is the elimination of financial intermediaries. But maybe this really is just another fiat currency. Crypto is not fiat well except in El Salvador. This will probably lead to centralized control by a few firms, exactly what it tried to avoid. Theoretically you could run your own node and verify the transactions, but that is about as realistic for However, as far as I recall, the only people appearing on Econtalk have been in the former camp.
It would be good if we could also hear from someone suitable in the latter. I agree with this. Often, these anecdotes interrupt the guest are not that interesting. With respect, this listener wants to listen to the guest and let him or her expand on a point, not serve as your foil. I will check. I try to restrain myself from time to time but I am sure that I am not always successful. Clearly it is a matter of taste. His reactions, counterpoints, and observation make the interaction with the guest more interesting for me.
It is more of a conversation between to interesting people and we get to listen in. I agree. A criticism that I have seen in the past is an opposite one — that Russ does not challenge interviewees enough. In my view this is quite variable — and I felt this was one of those where Russ sounded quite chuffed to be able to interview his guest and provided only mild input and direction. And, very much wishes that something would happen that would correct those price curves and cause those prices to fall.
Of course, the doctor is in the exact opposite situation. There is a team of people who work for my hospital. Their only job is to harass doctors. Because of Medicare regulations, medical billing is incredibly convoluted private insurance tends to follow Medicare rules. These complex rules srely on physician documentation.
They just have to hire people to harass doctors. That is what this team does. Daily requests come to me asking to change my documentation. Certain words, if documented, carry big payouts for the hospital. These buzzwords can increase revenue by hundreds of thousands of dollars on each patient.
My note might accurately, clearly and succinctly describe what is happening clinically. I get multiple notes daily. Correcting them takes time. That is on top of all the extra time I already spent slogging through the inefficient electronic health record. That is more than many doctors. Those people do not contribute to clinical care in any way. They do not increase efficiency, increase access to care or improve care. They harass doctors to ensure maximum revenue extraction via byzantine governmental billing rules.
So, are doctors benefiting from increasing healthcare costs? It is central planning, not a free market. The economy is leaving us behind. Andreessen mentions how remote work is here to stay.
That is not the case for doctors. California is considering a hour workweek. On top of the decreasing pay, doctors are spending more time tethered to the computer. Burnout is increasing. Physicians are quitting in droves. We are too busy seeing our pay cut and being harassed by administrators making just as much money as we do without seeing a single patient. No one gets on Wikipedia and just starts scrolling to see what the next article is. You go there for definitive information about a specific topic.
And that strong of an incentive will always result in profit-driven companies out-developing any crowd-sourced social media platform. Boy, if I heard a politician say that, they would have my vote in a heartbeat. Anyway, it says a lot more about the person who would hold your words and actions of 10 or 20 years ago against you, than the person who has matured and become better because of them.
This is a transcript accuracy note. It was an acronym for Tandy Radio Shack. Russ Roberts: Today is April 27th, and my guest is entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Marc Andreessen. He's the co-author of Mosaic, the first widely-used web browser, co-founder of Netscape, and co-founder and general partner of the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, also known as a16z.
He was here on EconTalk in May of , which was a very, very long time ago, talking about venture capital and the digital future. Russ Roberts: And, at that point you, a few years earlier, had written a very provocative piece for the Wall Street Journal where you said software is going to eat the world.
Has it? Will it? And, explain what you meant by that and to what extent you were right or wrong. Marc Andreessen: Yeah. So, that piece--that was in That had a couple of messages in it. There was an explicit message and an implicit message.
The implicit message was--if you remember the time, was still during the very dark days of the economic crash after the global financial crisis in So, in , there was an almost comprehensive pervasive sense of tech pessimism.
And, there was a sense that basically tech was over, and that this was another style crash, and that these companies were never going to come back, and venture capital was dead.
You know, like, I used to say Apple was trading like a steel mill that was in the process going out of business, as were all the other really kind of good tech companies. And so, there was just this pervasive sense of doom and gloom. And so, one is: I just wanted to put a stake in the ground that actually no, tech is not dead. And, in fact, tech is not going anywhere.
And, in fact, there is actually a big tech boom coming, which is what happened. That follows the explicit thesis of the piece, which is: We have hit critical mass in our era with this sort of very magical technology called software. I call it a magical technology.
It's quite literally like alchemy. I compare it to--you know, Isaac Newton spent 20 years trying to develop the so-called philosopher's stone to be able to transmute lead into gold and he never succeeded at that. But, now we have this just incredible technology where you can sit at a keyboard, you can type in letters and numbers on a keyboard, you can press Enter, and then things change in the real world.
The real world reorganizes itself according to what some coder has typed into a software. And, there's obvious examples of this that happened. It was happening at that time with services like Lyft and Uber.

Sylvia Fowles Diary: Chicago delivers in final All-Star Game
Its new owners, Neil and Elisa Silver, are just getting started. Rather than resell it, the couple took it under their wing. The Silvers, who come from California, bought a house in Laconia this spring. When he toured the plaza for the first time, Neil said he was appalled by what he saw. Previous owners had not taken care of the building and, with a non-functional heating system and mold on the walls, it was beyond dilapidated. The Silvers resolved to be different: to do right by the building and its commercial tenants and breathe life back into a property with a prime location. This meant making more than cosmetic adjustments.
The St Andrews Open is a true test of character

Love★Com, Vol. 2
Is it absurd to feel protective of a golf course? Perhaps no more so than feeling like that about a grove of oak trees, an unspoiled stretch of river, a city street or an old country church or a ruined castle. So there have been anxious articles asking if the Old Lady can defend herself.

Before the age of two, children seek unconditional love, but not a lot of parents are able to provide it, resulting in unmet needs, fear of rejection, and fear of dying. These childhood experiences can now manifest as fears and sabotage your current relationships. In this episode, Tracy talks about insecure attachment, how it can interfere with your relationships, and most importantly, how to break free from this vicious cycle and have a happy and empowered relationship.
With the exception of Nightwing and Batgirl , romances between superheroes are not built to last, more often than not. Romances for superheroes generally aren't built to last, but this seems to be especially the case for superheroes who choose to date other superheroes. Personal desires like romance are often depicted in comics as something that a superhero has to choose between, their hero life or their more private, but fulfilling one. It's rare to see a hero attempt both and anyone who does try to juggle both usually ends up disappointed. A classic example is Spider-Man, who during his One More Day storyline had to sacrifice his entire life just to bring balance back to the universe. Even during Spidey's most recent run at the dawn of Zeb Wells' tenure as Amazing Spider-Man's head writer, Peter Parker's romance with Mary-Jane Watson has once again been ripped apart, with Peter focusing almost entirely on his life as a crimefighter while Mary-Jane has moved on entirely with a new partner, mothering children.
Since we discussed festivals earlier this week, I decided a memorable festival moment was in order. Funny how holding his hand triggers it. Nakahara has the boy and girl reactions nailed.
It is doubtful.
