Enterprise IT works that way. You basically lease with option to buy servers/computers in bulk and refresh every 3-5 years.

In my experience, this's generally true for any large purchases (house, insurance, etc). The hard part is to find a good broker.

Is that true? Given the amount of torque Tesla can put to the tires, I would imagine it puts more wear and tear on the tires. Driving on highway means higher speed, which means higher temp to break down the rubber. Driving on local roads me

Yea, I figure that about brakes. I was wondering about tires.

It usually just means the hiring manager has less runway to train people.

90K for original tires and brakes? I don't know how EV brakes work, but tires should work the same. Are there any treads left?

Comment like this makes me wonder if you ever worked in enterprise before. Plenty of services/products have been cancelled/mothballed on large enterprise contracts once the services/products are no longer profitable, the serv

As a pure exercise and assume 5-10 year investment horizon. I would pick: MSFT, TSLA, AMD/NVDA (any semi-conductor/chip makers), DIS, JNJ Reason: * MSFT will win the cloud war. * TSLA doesn't even have real competitors. If El

I definitely see it as a valuable feature and I hope they successful disrupt the current market as capital market is too high and mighty.

I hate to be a negative person, but isn’t this what Steve Jobs called a feature, not a product? I work on trading systems before, custom built indices are very common. What’s stopping IB, Fidelity etc to simply put this in their system? I d

My knowledge might be outdated now, but Bloomberg empire is/was on-prem.

In finance, all the companies I've worked for/with run their critical infra on-prem. The only exception is my current company which needs cloud infr because of the size of data.

I think you are being argumentative at this point.

I don't think you get my point, but that's OK. Ben's example is wrong because he's suggesting someone to hold 100% equity all the way up to the end, which is wrong in most cases.

by aynyc 6y ago
His math and sentiment is correct. In real life, if he tells Bob to invest all his investment saving in an index fund with less than 5 years before retirement (all his investment at this point will be 100% allocated to stocks), Ben should l

In the US, even reputable shops such as Vanguard lend shares out for short sellers. It’s one way to keep the fee low for consumers. I never heard of anyone losing their shares due to short sellers.

In my little world, MySQL was popular because we could get enterprise level support directly from MySQL. It was the default choice from that point on. I don't know if that has changed. AWS changed that pretty quickly.

Is Scala used outside of Spark and Akka? Spark is my company chosen analytic engine, Scala was/is the main language for majority of the production workload. In the last two years or so, more devs are writing PySpark and SparkSQL jobs t

Looking at the examples in the doc. That’s just tuple/list unpacking in Python. Am I misreading it?

I was commenting on iterative approach of mass production of quality cars isn't translating well. I don't think anyone can say Tesla has better build quality than Toyota/Honda/Lexus. And EV is also considerably simpler t

Just to be sure, you mean 10x between subsea cable and regular armored fiber cable, not cat6 I can get from best buy.

This post is about quality of the vehicles. Tesla isn't there yet, comparing to say Toyota/Honda/Lexus.

> Assuming the underwater cable itself is 10 times as expensive as regular cable, its about $150 million for 9000 km. Looking at what I can find, it looks like way more than 10 times the cost. https://i.imgur.com/7Dm7EEp.

I know nothing of this type of engineering. How do you even start a project like this? Map the bottom of the ocean, figure out all the danger zones? What is the cost of doing something like this?
