What makes you think that? Is Musk going to be CEO himself? I would expect him to very hands-on early on. Unless someone really talented wants to step in… but who wants to be CEO under Musk? At this point it would be a puppet role.

Amazon has been slowly trending down over the last 10 years for me (but in many ways also improving). Amazon used to be a shop I trusted, products arrived in good condition, and their customer service was pleasant to deal with. Now it’s ful

I’ll be honest, I didn’t read the article but I learned a lot from video games and by extend the internet when I was a kid. It thought me that if you work on something, you will get better at it, and you will be rewarded. This is not the ca

Idk its a very short video and doesn’t show any part of how to work is. Isn’t a bit like tacking a selfie. You take 10, pick the one that looks best, and you only take them when you are standing in the Grand Canyon.

I disagree. Growth is an attitude. I worked at startups and at mature companies. In a growth company you usually do not have to justify work in term of profitability but in terms of growth. Then when the company is sufficiently large differ

Ok, I didn’t know. I sold most of my facebook stock late 2019. And haven’t really looked at the company since.

I am not saying Facebook should stop growing. It should just not keep dumping money in these unproven projects, and they should get some people on board to fix their cost structure. Apple and Microsoft are much more mature companies than Fa

After almost 20 years of doing business isn’t it about time that Facebook starts to position itself as a value company rather than a growth company? Realistically they had one big growth avenue and that was acquisitions but the regulatory (

Is there a design yet for a power system that can run on fully on renewables in realistic conditions? I looked into this in 2017 and at the time there was no realistic design, they all relied on Gas powered plants to provide on demand produ

Could you elaborate why you chose Nim over other languages? The advantages need to be pretty strong when picking a niche language like this I would assume? Curious what the thought process was like.

Anyone here used Nim for a bigger project? What was your experience like?

Could someone explain to me in what why Kubernetes is complex and what alternatives are simpler? I’ve worked on non-k8s systems before and in my experience they all hang together with custom bash/python code which although line-for-lin

Care to explain why? I get that there are some horrible Java projects and libraries that have really ballooned in complexity over the years but I still see Java itself as one of the better languages. Especially for corporate work.

This is strange advice? I would assume becoming a doctor is hard, extremely expensive, takes a long time and not something you should go into because ‘you see your friends making 6 figures’

I suspect it is too expensive to build closed offices for everyone. But what I don’t understand is why there are (almost) never a mix. A large open office room for normal work but also have a good portion of offices available for deep work

I will be honest, even if I would inherit a fortune 2x as large I would still not be able to achieve what that guy has done. Impressive regardless of any inherited ‘privilege’. Sure he is a little weird but who isn’t.

Indeed because under normal circumstances I would assume these bonds are mostly held to maturity. But why do they have to sell them now? I was under the impression it was to cover some margin calls. And to your point about broken yield curv

by Cwizard 4y ago
The bonds are risk-free when held to maturity which is what every textbook will tell you if you actually read them. What is not risk-free is the value of those bonds before reaching maturity. That price is decided by the market (i.e. you ne

To add a datapoint, a company I worked at budgeted developer time at ~700euro/day. However almost no one made more than 300€/day. The rest came from office space, your manager’s salary, laptop, extra benefits, heating, consultants

I mostly see these low-code tools being useful for developers actually. Maybe it is because I am a backend developer but it always takes me quite some time to build even simple CRUD interfaces. I would assume with these tools I would just b

I think they are useful for a niche. At work we have a bunch of ‘excel’ apps for handling internal work. It’s really a mess and they frequently break down. Some are just CRUD interfaces for a database. For these things I really think someth

Yes but if you hire a lot of smart people and then have a process where they cannot make any decisions but instead someone from sales decides every little thing you will still not get anywhere regardless of how many smart people you have. B

Very narrow minded attitude. Might be unusable for you but great for others. Try to keep the tone a bit more friendly.

It’s true that they are creating new money but only temporarily. Forgiving a loan is truly creating money (permanently). Not saying it’s bad to forgive the loans but there is clearly a difference. My stance on it (although I am not a US cit
