What does a bank do? Many things that crypto can't but probably the number 1 thing compared to crypto ... the bank (via the FDIC) provides assurances for each account for up to $225,000 USD. I wouldn't write off banks that quickl

So then by using this product you are de facto buying short term US debt lowering the debt costs in a way? Is that what you are describing? And Stripe makes money on that short term carry.

I think they very much had to watch the weather for radiation dispersal with the large upwards column. Also why they scaled down the size I believe. Would need to validate this though.

So they don't make net zero but they still continue to improve their operations and have a lighter green footprint while maintaining themselves in the great AI race. Can anyone shed any light on the difference between net-zero and what

I mean lets not use China as the example here - they are doing it to reduce their air pollution and use the highly subsidized solar pv arrays. They are are the dominant users of coal in concert with solar. They need to ramp up their energ

Utilities are dragging their feet on interconnect. Tariffs are squeezing solar supply and probably will impact availability of materials and products (reshoring will take a lot of time if it even makes sense). Nuclear regulatory environmen

Vogtle is bad example. It was the first of its kind after a long stagnation of nuclear builds (US no longer has the ability to build and operate new nuclear) - that and the regulatory/licensing costs blew through the roof. Vogtle is t

Energy markets are deeply complicated markets. They are heavily regulated and have a lot of challenges outside of strictly cost of power. Worth remembering they have safety requirements, uptime, national security implications, truly the b

Private deals - do you mean like a Power Purchase agreement? That doesn't fall out to the public cost domain and certainly shouldn't be a public good.

I don't think engineering gets paid well compared to software. And by engineering I mean any physical forms of engineering that doesn't fall into "software engineering". The advice seems pretty accurate to me. In tha

I mean his whole job was to make sure that the conversation didn't get too wildly off topic. I have to say I appreciated his nudging based on his notes. In this day and age it seems like people get a soap box and get to say whatever t

Some kind of form of this energy data visualization shows up on hacker news every 6 months or so ... why is that?

I mean there are clear problems with heavy exposure to TV, video games and I have no doubt that there are similar problems with heavy AI use. Any adult with children can clearly see the addiction qualities and behavioral fall out.

1.1 B talent acquisition comp I saw somewhere. That cant be right is it - not sure what the underlying company tech is.

I think the implication is they fraudsters rarely get busted when they are making everyone money only when things are looking bad. Eventually it catches up though.

I can't wait to hear how it goes in NYC -- its going to be a total cluster - with the significantly more chaotic behavior on the streets, bike scooters, pedestrians and then the oddness of the streets/aggressive driving necessary

And then get skewered for their mistakes by others and get level capped in a competitive work environment. Lose lose situation. You can come out looking better and sometimes that works, and sometimes people lose faith in you.

You gotta re-check your position. This is an extreme interpretation of wage suppression.

It would be interesting to see the portion on Nvidia. How many calls on next weeks earnings?

Nvidia earnings next week. Thats the bell weather -everything else is speculation.

Wage suppression? Its the opposite were talking about here. Pay large amounts of money to make sure people don't work on challenging problems. But sure you cant try and argue that's wage suppression.

You should probably think of it with a different perspective. The long term outlook for oil majors is stagnating at best. They provide great logistics for fuel globally but haven't expanded past that. If we continue to go to electric

Im not saying they pay them well or not. Theres just not a comparison on comp they could do. That you don't understand the power dynamics between that is something you will hopefully learn about the world as you become more experienc

Again not solving the actual problem. The problem you are describing is revoking Citizen's United. What your trying to do is a patch job to another problem which is going to cause all sorts of unintended consequences. First principles

Very astute. Of course my comment is saying no it won't - its called mathematics. Its all posturing without any meaningful effort but people lap it up because it doesn't require anyone else to anything different.

Untrue -- inflation hurts people at the bottom the most most certainly - but it wreaks havoc on everyone. There are other factors at plays as well -- level of inflation, current prices of assets, how people own the assets (mortgages etc).
