AIの投資が多い中あのアンドリーセンが鉱業の企業に投資。
a two-year-old mining company has raised $400M. @a16z, @khoslaventures and the CIA's venture fund are all on the cap table.
@jclozano9897 co-founded @MarianaMinerals with @tbc415 and @baker_tilney, two friends from stanford. it's now worth $1.6B. they buy mines after the market gives up on them, then run them with software and AI.

Coinbase創業時のブライアン・アームストロングがまだAirbnbで働いてる時のスケジュール:
▫️平日は毎日20時〜24時
▫️日曜日は毎週7時間
▫️これを18ヶ月連続
▫️AirbnbのPCも勤務時間も一切使い回さず徹底分離
当然、友だち関係は犠牲になったらしい……ガチで成功する人の執念ってすごいな。
シンガポールの出生率は世界でもかなり低い0.87。ちなみに日本は1.17
これの対策のためにシンガポール政府がマッチングサイトみたいなのを最近植民に提供。
例えば最初のデートのご飯代を出すとか。
いくらまでか調べてないが。

さすがシンガポールの金融庁。フィンテックの成長支援に約2.2億シンガポールドル(約276億円)を投じると発表。
成長分野に対するシンガポールのオープンさと、イノベーションを積極的に後押しする姿勢がよく表れている。

I’ve had 2 children while living in Singapore. My entire family is a PR. I was denied citizenship application twice, whom which these assistance is only available for.
We do talk about having a third kid by why contribute when you don’t allow us to be citizens?
Singapore just went all in on birth rates
Fertility fell to a record-low 0.87 in 2025. Birth rates have fallen seriously low
That’s not just a dip. That’s a whole country nowhere near replacing itself. It's a massive problem for the country
So Singapore is going directly after the biggest things making parenthood harder: money, time, childcare and housing
Money:
- Every Singaporean child will receive around S$70,000 in direct financial support from birth to age 17
- S$10,000 Baby Gift during the first year
- S$2,000 every year from age 1 to 16.
- Plus MediSave, CDA support, Edusave and another S$10,000 education top-up at 17
- And every child gets the same baseline support regardless of whether they’re the first or fourth child
Time:
Childcare leave is increasing to:
• 8 days for one child
• 10 days for two
• 12 days for three or more
And it now covers children all the way through age 12.
The government will cover the cost of statutory child-related leave up to the reimbursement limit, taking that burden off employers
Housing:
- First-time families will get an extra BTO ballot chance for every child they have or are expecting.
- More kids = more chances of securing a home.
The BTO income ceiling is also rising from S$14,000 to S$16,000
Childcare:
- Government-supported full-day childcare is being pushed toward S$150/month and infant care toward S$300/month by 2030
Cash alone was never going to fix collapsing birth rates.
Singapore is attacking the actual friction around having children: the cost, the time, childcare and getting a home
If you want people to have more children, make having children easier
Singapore is actually trying that
