AWS EC2 instances tend to scale key metrics in line with one another 1 vCPU + 1 Ram Unit, 2 vCPU + 2 Ram Unit, 4 vCPU + 4 Ram Unit, etc. So it is impossible to source an instance with a High Ram / vCPU ratio. I found this annoying as I

Interesting, I thought yields should be 7% of capital allocated. Otherwise put it in the stock market. This might mean that 2% yield means leverage, if you borrowed 83.34% of purchase price to buy a property and put in 16.66% of your own mo

The Oracle problem renders the trust component of the blockchain untrustworthy. The storage expense of using a blockchain (because of the validation required) imposes the requirement of using off chain DB for storage. So you end up with the

Before the 2008 financial crisis, the value of copper in (UK) 2 pence pieces was worth more than 2 pence. For a short while it was economically worthwhile to melt the two pence pieces down for copper. At the same it was also worth risking l

The problem with this approach are those cases where it is not clear cut. The consequences of being wrong outweigh the benefits of being right. And have you ever taken someone's life before? It is not to be taken lightly and will no do

I would add that the internet doesnt help either. It is full of people's success stories, by and large, that can really eat away at your soul if you look for too long.

I think central governments are hooked on QE in various forms. The risk of allowing economy to settle back to its unaided trajectory is too great. At least with QE there is a demonstrable positive effect on prices of other asset classes, na

While I don't doubt that advances are being made, this has the hallmarks of cold fusion all over again. By the time it is in production, DeepMind will have made significant head way using conventional CPU/GPU.

I am all in for down votes. I am not a physicist but the cost of cooling must astronomical for the output you get. CF. When autonomous vehicle technology gets released into production it is likely they won't make your car look like its

Given 5 year old cards can still perform at some level, buying makes much more sense than renting at $1 per hour.

I am a fan of aws but it is all too easy to mount up large bills. I began using accelerated compute instances but as a newbie it was hard for me to get a feel of the performance, how large and a dataset could we run before it fell over or o

Personally, I like the use of Bobby Byrd's "I know you got soul" by Eric B & Rakim on their track conveniently called "I know you got soul". A combination of multiple samples punctuated by Rakim inventive lyrics

Question for SF folks: I see self driving cars all the time in the inner Richmond. This is happy-path driving, all 4-way stops, not much traffic, not many pedestrians. Easy driving. Are the firms doing as much mileage in rush hour in toughe

A bank is given an allocation to sell at IPO, the IPO roadshow before the IPO is where potential investors have the chance to buy an IPO allocation at the IPO price. This price can move up and down to manage/stimulate demand. On the IP

Sadly you cannot short an IPO..no one has shares to lend until it is public.

Going full pop-neurophysiologist here: perhaps if being messy is a result of being distracted by ideas which are a requirement of being an entrepreneur. It all hangs together, for me!

I agree, I also think there is a different type of flywheel effect at play here. Central Bankers "printing" money means there is a lot of money about and few places for it to go to generate >7% annual returns. As a result, more

I have tried the Stafford gambit against real people and i have found that unless people fall for the trap it is a very weak play for black. I keep having to make dumb moves hoping for the other player to fall into the trap.
