Exactly, they are just delaying taxation. If their investments return less than loan interest, they will need to begin selling assets to pay the loans. If their equity compounds at a rate higher than the interest rate, then they can continu

This is correct. If you know the income will arrive in the future, you should aggressively shop banks looking for a line of credit to even out your lumpy income. The interest paid to the bank for the LOC is tax deductible by the business.

Is this a just a hiring competition under a different name? If you can beat their model, obviously you deserve a 100k signing bonus and a very generous compensation package.

For sure limited by all sorts of factors: density, providers, backups, UPSes, diesel availability, generators, fire codes, etc. Plus every watt costs money so the movement to performance per watt is huge for DCs!

Is this about availability? Meaning that purchasing the Arm Neoverse that Graviton2 is based on, is too difficult if not operating at massive scale? This Anandtech review has a page called "An X86 Massacre": https://www

I assume it's almost zero migration for 99% of use cases from an Intel instance to an Epyc Rome instance. But if they figured out performance with Graviton2, what makes you think ARM isn't the clear future for server performance p

Thanks for that link. I'm seeing similar results. The Arm instances are a no-brainer for a massive amount of workloads. Yes, leaving the Intel instances will take many, many years, but I don't see any future for buying any more In

Seems like they were just too early and didn't have the capability of an AWS-scale company to work directly with ARM? It seems like the first-gen of Graviton wasn't great, but then they seem to have made huge leaps with Graviton2.

AWS claims far superior performance per dollar with the Graviton2 processors vs the Intel equivalent processors. Look at the SPEC cpu2017 charts in this presentation: https://pages.awscloud.com/rs/112-TZM-766/image

In my small universe, this was the week of ARM. I submitted multiple PRs to OS projects to get ARM compilations working. I started moving AWS instances off of Intel instances to the new Graviton2 instances. I'm still surprised there is

Totally anecdotal evidence, but I was in a rural NY house served by DSL for the past 6 months. The DSL has consistent packet loss between 4 and 6%. The only video service that could handle this level of packet loss well was Amazon Prime. Ne

My guess is that a company like Linode with 100 million in revenue is using lines of credit to make large purchases of servers that will pay off over time as their revenue grows. I'm not sure what's scary about D.O. borrowing 1&#x

You're bearish on profitable SAAS companies growing at 20%+ year with huge total addressable markets? D.O. is clearly not growing like DataDog and Zoom, but it has a nice niche, a good rep, and borrowing cheap money to grow should make
