Agree. This quote is being used out of context here. Niche software can and does succeed especially when it’s only supporting a single dev. This isn’t trying to dethrone an adobe product, or doesn’t need to.

Once you build on AWS it’s hard to decouple. I get that. But companies that focus on reducing complexity still seem to find a way to do all these things for cheaper. Can’t find the link but yesterday there was a front page article about how

What you said doesn’t make sense. Make it make sense. I was left guessing. In other words, please explain how it makes sense to lower tax bill by shift the expenses to opex when that process involves paying more for the same utility? The on

It’s not a real concern for vast majority of businesses. It’s a common excuse but practically no business is outgrowing a cheaper than cloud solution. Maybe on-prem isn’t right first step, but that doesn’t force you to cloud. There’s dedica

Believe you're talking about conserving cash through reduced taxes since this guy was against paying taxes. However, spending a premium on cloud services over what you could with an on-prem capital investment does not help your cash po

CFO here and I capex everything I can, never understood why you'd want to opex this. I'm trying to make EBITDA as enticing as possible for investors and anyone else that cares. Also want to show we have control over technology cos

Curious question. If opex is so exceedingly high for cloud, pushing people back to capex to save money, then why has no cloud entrant come around with a price competitive alternative? It seems the main issue is that everyone is anchored to

Yes to some extent. We wrote a CRM that works for what we needed. It's not a full blown SaaS product we could sell to any company as a tenant, as they would all want other features that aren't important to us. This is what happens

Perhaps but what is that point and are we truly approaching it? I’m thinking a $5 bill becomes a $7-10 bill. Those prices have already changed on a lot of things (food, cars, housing, etc) so won’t really be a shock to anyone. And is still

No not directly but he can control it. So he can invest in a shell company that invests in other shell companies that buys shares of operating companies. It’s not like he needs these funds to buy groceries or pay the mortgage. He’s essentia

I’m just making a market assumption that DO needs to raise their prices as well. Everyone needs RAM. Not sure what the lift might be, but in theory everything should be relatively similar in future state, just more expensive. This is basica

Correct, I agree and meant to say per month. I believe I saw $3.5/month as smallest offering on the original author’s website I used to run a small shared hosting business in early 2000s and I’d never raise prices on low consumption us

Sure, the market may shrink some but it's also relative to alternatives that are also increasing. There's no advice in the article the market is shrinking or that pricing is causing it to. People leaving the market on this type of

If everyone is being hit by the same cost issues, small VPS hosts just need to charge more to operate the same. Most small VPS hosts are dirt cheap and I don't think many people would be shocked if prices go up in this environment.

Time is the issue. Time spent training for Olympics can't necessarily be used to generate an income. The whole premise of this donation is to afford them time, which it doesn't. FWIW, most athletes are already used to being frugal

How small can that slice be though? It’s only really needed on true blue ocean innovation and where the company has to find the skills where they exist. If that’s the US, then sure they’ll continue some small slice of employment here for th

Older men in my family jokingly called it “the history” instead of “the news” and I feel it’s much more preferable than trying to keep a real time pulse in everything going on in the world

Out of curiosity. What do those videos mean to an average Chinese person? What are the opinions of illegal immigration over there? How do they police it? (If at all). Does this look like normal government activity? Or are they appalled at t

There’s a lot of iterative script writing that goes into “one take” videos. I think they often appear to be one takes and that’s the polish or perfectionism you’re seeing. I mean, some of them are just rambling on and going more Vlog stuff.
