Yes but I'm saying that they will still own Wiz at the 10 year mark, so you can discount their valuation at the time from the 100B.

by diogofranco 2y ago
I don't think that 100B number is correct. It would be if Google had to give back the business (or it imploded) after 10 years

Buybacks "pumping the stock price" is a common misconception, but not actually true (unless the buyback is executed at prices lower than fair value). There are less shares outstanding afterwards, but there is also less cash, so if

It made less than no money recently. You might be thinking of revenue.

I find the "you're not paying enough" argument a little strange. By definition, not every company can pay top of market and get the most skilled engineers. If the average engineer doesn't have a certain skill, I think it

There is no last percent, it can drop another 99% and then another...

Interesting additions! On using column aliases in predicates, what if my alias exists in the source as well, what takes precedence? I feel like this can become a bit confusing either way.

But revenue isn't really interesting, is it? Amazon won't pay the fine in lost revenue, it will pay it with profits.

This is completely wrong, 1B is more like 1/3 of Amazon's global profits last quarter. They might never profit enough from Italy to make up for this.

I meant for Google, where it is. Working from home or the office doesn't really affect compensation, location is the variable.

This, many companies even make this quite explicit by issuing stock to employees and buying back the same number of shares, in order to pay with cash flow rather than dilution.

And in the other direction as well. I live in the EU and used to buy clothing from a UK e-store which would trivially arrive a few days later. This year, my 35eur shirt got stuck in customs and I had to pay another 40 to retrieve it (vat +

Besides the BCH part of that quote, the "fans" part is also interesting. Coins having fans is... new.

Surely there are many reasons to not hoard everything, but I find this argument strange. If you're in a business that is making bad decisions due to wrong analysis of data, it seems like there should be more nuanced and pertinent ways

I can understand the worry about big tech due to the scale, but on a personal decision like that, I'm much more worried about giving my data away to an ecobee type company.

I don't think your example depends on the person's circunstances, there is a very clear cut rational decision there. Even not taking the utility of money into account, nor the fact that you need to discount that million as it only

But it does operate this way, of course. It is just the same effect that causes "earth society" to mostly show results about the superstring "flat earth society"

Agreed (OP here). Although I never studied them personally, I often hear that Ralph Kimball's books on data warehousing and ETL are the canonical texts on the side of data engineering you mention.

csv is notoriously bad with spark - in fact you couldn't write to csv for the longest time without external libraries like the databricks one, so I don't contest your last point. SQlite is usually a single file representing a data
