On the contrary; that's a component of my entire argument. The US and the concept of a developed economy both started at Square 1 around the same time. That's a huge structural advantage. Developing or selling some new technology?

The iShares S&P 500 ETF has returned about 11.6% annualized over the past ten years. Their Ex-US ETF: 2.8%. Point being: the third variable no one ever takes into account when considering Buffett's advice: "just invest in broa

Fair; but my point is more-so, if there was a Page 27 at the end that inserted some unusual terms, it'd be really obvious because it wouldn't look like all the templated stuff before it, and anyone reasonable would catch it. Its a

I love talking to people. I don't like being talked to.

I can't speak for how Carvana operates today, but when I bought my car years ago the loan was subcontracted through some unrelated financial provider (Go Financial, now Bridgecrest). I remember being kind of annoyed at this; that I was

by 015a 4y ago
That's... not what anyone is saying. I bought an Audi from Carvana. It was more expensive than anyone else (~2-4% more). The price they paid for my trade-in wasn't as good as some competitors. I did not interact, in any way, with

In the US: they are long, but in my experience they're also extremely usual. Every apartment I've rented (5 in my city) has used the exact same template; with some blank lines and checkboxes where they write in "You'll p

I don't want to turn a discussion surrounding layoffs into a lens about the business itself; it sucks to be laid off, and I wish everyone who was impacted great expediency in finding a new role. But I'm going to anyway: I genuinel

Absolutely; but I think this new "feature" is the most pure crystallization I've ever seen of the inefficiency inherent to big tech. Most people who read this press release would probably respond: Woah, that's how pricin
551.
by 015a 4y ago
That's my point; that clearly they have so many people and so few actual problems to solve that they're worried about adding more discrete numbers rather than solving this problem significantly more efficiently.

I don't agree with most of what Musk does; but if this is the kind of innovation that requires a team of highly compensated tech employees and warrants a press release; something is actually, seriously wrong with efficiency in companie

And here, I think, we landed on a core piece of the matter. That there are some "ineffable truths" reserved and locked away in the High Tower of Academia. Oh, you're not An Academic? Ha, moron. We know the truth, how dare you

I think you're being dangerously dramatic. I'll counter with a bit of dangerous drama of my own: Its very easy to believe that the 14th century papal state said the same thing to Galileo. "Our civilization is not sustainable

Their argument is: 28 years ago, Graham wrote a book about this theory (Fingerprints of the Gods) where he used the language "ancient white civilization". Why precisely he used this language may require deeper research, but it was

You see a scene like this [1] and you wouldn't be blamed for thinking that its just some normal highway in the western US. Its actually inside Yellowstone; zoom in on the sign and you'll see that its the exit ramp to Old Faith

Well, maybe this will start a flame war: I will absolutely die on the hill that SQL is shit. But, like shell, is old (48 years old!) and omnipresent; so it sticks around. Like, the thing I find comical about the original article is: they re

Is the engineering footprint of an organization really better if everything is implemented in twenty different languages, versus just three or four? Everything else aside, quality of the language, scope, etc; just the number. You have to

I also want to add a #3: the crew that's left is probably on-call 24/7. My thoughts are with the poor souls on that rotation (if your team even still has a "rotation")

Yeah; the two sectors to take the blunt of the damage to this point is Tech and Crypto, which were among the two most inflated asset classes. That's a pretty good place to start removing excess money from the system. Tech: QQQ is a pre

I'll second this with more than just an upvote: at my previous VC backed startup, for the first threeish years both the primary VC firm who funded us, and their other investment companies, represented around 70% of our customer base (&

I agree with this take, and I'd also add: the broader macroeconomic issue with SaaS concerns how quickly companies lose its utility from downsizing their expenses. If I, as a customer of Canva, stop paying for Canva; its safe to assume

I'd also recommend giving Shapr3D a try. Its an extremely nice up-and-coming CAD suite. Very little cloud integration as well (they only very recently added model syncing to your account). Their lineage is definitely as an iPad app, bu

Sure, but the point is that if Binance were ever in a position to where they needed to start liquidating the SAFU, its reasonable to assume that the market for BNB would be in a very poor state; either because of whatever caused them to nee

by 015a 4y ago
About 40% of the SAFU is in BNB; their own FTT-like token. Its literally the same reason FTX collapsed; BNB just still has value.

Its also worth noting: Its easy to get scared by a number like "11,000", but just pulling estimates out of my ass; engineering likely represented less than 20%, and the bias toward those let go in engineering is likely junior. Not

I think you're totally right. But I also think: If an alien visited our planet and saw the same decision being made, its reasonable that they may ask: Wait, why can't you just do this in software? Is your software really that ba

Its important to note: China was extremely late to the mRNA vaccine game. The vast majority of their population was vaccinated with traditional inactive virus vaccines, which have been observed to be less effective than mRNA. Their mRNA vac

This isn't a situation where the choices are: 3 lines of IDE-Insert-Boilerplate, or Exceptions. I think Go could add syntax to keep its relatively unique form of error handling, while reducing code noise. The guard proposal is fine, bu

by 015a 4y ago
That's fair, but I don't feel that Go's position of biasing to the absolute opposite end of the spectrum is reasonable. Ultimately; in a typical app; if you've got a phrase of code like: result, err := db.GetUser(&
