    Apenas 2% de chance é muito pouco, 7 anos é muito tempo, e onde sua queda poderia afetar está muito longe de mim…
    Que pena, eu precisava de um asteroide pra ontem!

    and Antarctica also

      though if it has the power of an 8 megaton nuclear weapon, the remaining continents would definitely be heavily effected, even if it’s just by ash blocking the sun

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan asks Fubini — the founder and managing partner of XYZ Venture Capital, built on the Palantir alumni network and now approaching $2B AUM — what separates the survivors from the rest.
