why is hims and hers listed as a tech company?

Tech isn't a market thats why.... but there is a narrative that it is.

Tesla is an automobile, solar and robotics company.

Facebook is a media company.

Google is a highly diversified media company.

The list goes on and on...

Fun fact: Goldman Sachs spends $1.9B on technology ever year. Palantir spends about $1B (if you add COGS/Infra + R&D).

Great question. I included them because they would argue very tech enabled. Also, around $10B market cap cutoff. In a future iteration I may make it so you can edit which companies get displayed...if that's interesting to people.

It looks like the company (ticker: HIMS) has made a lot of noise about being an AI-enabled telehealth company etc., so it might be one of those "because it's on the internet" things.

Maybe because it's HQ is in the Bay area? :)

If Netflix is a tech company, why aren’t any of the other streaming businesses?

I guess that’s just Comcast and Disney, since Paramount went private, and WarnerBros is about to also.

In my experience using both Netflix and Disney+ I have to say that Netflix is clearly a tech company or Disney+ is a pigeon carrier company.

This guy always has an unreal amount of engineering lift for hobby videos. A treat to watch every time.

Yeah, a YouTube treasure. For anyone new to his channel, you have a back log of amazing experiments to binge on.

I believe he works at Alphabet (tangent?)—somewhere in the Bay Area.

IIRC he works (worked) for Verily, and previously was at Valve working on their VR hardware. He's also mentioned having a business pre-Valve that made MRI safe controllers for users to interact with computers while inside an MRI machine.

It's a completely different level, he has my favorite combo, incredibly detailed videos with fresh and complex engineering ideas

Also, really the holy grail of YouTubers — he’s not concerned with clicks or retention. He has a day job, he’s not trying to do this full time or make a career out of it. I’ve been following him for years. Legitimately just an insanely smart person doing projects on his own time he thinks are interesting and that he thinks other people might be interested in too. It’s kinda crazy when it’s as simple as that with no ulterior motives or incentives.

What a 10x engineer does in his free time

One of the biggest unsolved issues with BCI and neural implants is the immune response to implanted electrodes. The tissue buildup and fluid that encapsulates the probe or stimulator drastically increases the impedance of the device and causes all sorts of hard to solve problems for longevity of the implant and whatever therapy or recording it's trying to accomplish.

Is gaffer's tape the top pick or is there another, higher tier of tape?
