Gerstner found only 21 public software companies exceed $2B revenue and $25B value.
“Public software companies over 2,000,000,000 in revenue, we got to 21. Okay? There are only 21 that are worth more than $25,000,000,000”

Friedberg cites 2021 Chinese research demonstrating a chemo-enzymatic system for synthesizing starch from its component molecules amylose and amylopectin.
“At the end of twenty twenty one, there was a paper published by a team in China where they demonstrated a chemo enzymatic system for synthesizing starch. Starch is amylose and amylopectin, two molecules.”

Friedberg cites 2023 WashU research demonstrating mitochondria can transfer between cells, previously only theorized.
“And, this paper, Nick, if you could just pull up that image of mitochondria being transferred, these folks identified and demonstrated that mitochondria can actually transfer from one cell to another.”
-
David Friedberg
Friedberg reports 2023 WashU research identified three mechanisms by which mitochondria can transfer between cells.
“So if you've got a cell that's got damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria, they've identified three mechanisms by which mitochondria can move into a cell that needs more mitochondria that are working and are more functional.”

Friedberg says Columbia's first brain mitochondria map suggests dysfunction drives memory loss and aging symptoms.
“The second paper was done, last month out of Columbia University, and this was the first mapping of the mitochondria in the human brain.”

Friedberg describes Chinese researchers who engineered stem cells to produce excess mitochondria for therapeutic use.
“So what these guys did, which was really incredible, is they took stem cells. So stem cells that they got out of human blood and they took those stem cells and they figured out a way to treat the stem cells so that those stem cells would start to make an excess amount of mitochondria than they normally would make.”

David Friedberg
Friedberg reports Chinese researchers produced stem cells making 854 times normal mitochondria levels, 5.7 times more energy-efficient.
“And those mitochondria were on average 5.7 times more efficient at making energy, ATP. So they created highly energetic mitochondria and they made a lot of them.”

Bill Gurley
Gurley cites surveys showing 70% then 60% would restart careers differently if possible.
“We did this survey and asked people if you could start your career over again, would you do things differently? And in that survey, 70% of people said yes.”

David Friedberg
Friedberg observes that research discoveries may take forty years before their industrial impact becomes apparent.
“And I think just this broad question or observation that sometimes inquisitive minds leads to research that leads to some set of discoveries that are completely not apparent until forty years later, the effect or the impact it may have had Yeah. On building an industrial field.”

David Friedberg
Friedberg states Chinese scientific publications went from half of US levels in 2015 to 50% more than US now.
“a statistic. In twenty fifteen, ten years ago, papers published by Chinese research labs and major scientific journals were about half of The United States. Yeah. Now 50% more than The United States.”

Bill Gurley
Gurley worked with researcher Joseph Friedman to study academic research on career passion and grit for his book.
“Malcolm actually, his team introduced me to a researcher named Joseph Friedman, who pushed us to study the academic part. So we started reading all the research.”

Bill Gurley
Gurley's Wharton survey found six in ten people would choose a different career if they could go back.
“It led to us doing this survey with Wharton where we asked people, if you could go back in life, would you choose a different career? And six in 10 people say yes.”
-
Bill Gurley
Gurley partnered with Wharton researcher to study career regret, finding six in ten would choose differently if starting over.
“We partnered with Wharton and did a much broader one. Ours was seven and ten, theirs came back six and ten.”

Bill Gurley
Gurley's Wharton survey found six out of ten people would choose a different career if starting over.
“I launched a survey on SurveyMonkey that said, if you could go back and start over, would you would you do a different career? And seven out of 10 people said yes.”

Dylan Patel
Patel observes Asian researchers consistently produce KV cache reduction papers unknown to American researchers.
“Some paper that reduces KV cash, and no researcher in America has even heard of this paper.”

Dylan Patel
Patel observes Asian researchers consistently reference KV cache reduction papers unknown to American researchers, citing DeepSeek and TurboQuant.
“It's the fucking best thing ever. DeepSeek and TurboQuant were the, like, most precipitous ones that popped up the most,”

Brad Gerstner
Gerstner cites research showing children with savings have better educational, economic, and incarceration outcomes.
“And we know when kids have savings, when they have investment, they're more likely to graduate from high school and college. They're more likely to buy a home.”

John Williams
Williams argues central banks should support economic historians because they can efficiently provide complementary research inputs.
“This observation to me provides a compelling reason for why a central bank Research Group should support economic historians.”
-
John Williams
Williams says AI has made previously infeasible economic history research possible by enabling document analysis.
“Sergio, Stephan, and Emil’s work 3 on bank runs, to take what I think will become a representative example, was in a way almost infeasible prior to the ability to smartly read an immense amount of documentation.”

Williams describes Fed conducting hands-on research on technological innovation through New York Innovation Center with BIS.
“Through the New York Innovation Center in the Markets Group at the New York Fed, and in collaboration with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), we conduct hands-on research projects around technological innovation.”
