   I would refrain from buying the house until 2-3 years into the transition and after you reach a point where you are cash flow positive in your new life. Ditto about the car loans if they are low interest rate ( < 3%). In short put the 1M

   This seems like it would attach a small niche of loyal users but my concern would be the following - a. Size of the market b. I imagine the target market for these would be fairly technical people who might be under the impression (rightly

    Sad fact is that Mac sales are now 10% of Apples revenue. I think the only reason Macs receive any attention at all within Apple is because you need Macs to build iphone/ipad apps. Another way of framing this is - how much effort do yo

    I think the incentive structure for first 10 employees is completely broken right now. Adjusted for risk and dilution, the risk reward ratio for top 10 needs to be closer to the founders since they are taking almost identical levels of risk

    I agree with large parts of what you are saying - the law of scarcity does not apply to software. As a free software advocate however there are a lot of subtle questions to which I have no answer, listing them here in case others can chime

    Is Ubuntu not a profitable entity at this point? Is Mark still paying for everything out of pocket?

    I would imagine people looking at UIs for a systems programming language would want a lighter abstraction than pulling in an entire browser (for things like embedded).

    Is it possible that the market for software developers is larger than the fpga developer market hence allowing tool development costs to be amortized over a larger set of users.

    Well if Threadripper 2 can do 32 cores at ~4GHz@250W is there a good reason we cant have an Epyc SKU that does the same? (So that we can take two of these and put them in a machine).

    I am hoping we see some Epyc SKUs clocked to be closer to the threadripper equivalents.

    I was trying to read the article critically, but am open to alternate parsings / viewpoints on the article. Would love to hear your thoughts on the subject matter of the article.

    "We are not aware of any abuse by these companies." - seems to be carefully worded. They do not make claims that there are no abuses, nor do they elaborate what checks/audits they have in place to detect abuse.

    Did not know that individual contributors in F/A/N/G were making this much. Are we talking Jeff Dean level outliers or does this apply in a wider setting?

    I think whats adding to the confusion here is the "I am a Language X expert". I suspect the Am and I need to be interchanged there.
