And a lot of people don't need that. There are a lot of applications that are highly cost sensitive but where losing some data or having some unavailability isn't a deal breaker.

The problem with the question is that it reduces an infinite dimensional space (all the things you could have thought about the movie) into a single scalar value. Your mind is likely to be preoccupied with performing that projection which i

I'm not saying that all countries are equally corrupt. I'm saying that the angry citizen's rant at the government, in broad-brush terms, is pretty much equally applicable anywhere.

Also a way around price gouging laws. Many vendors cannot raise wages to attract more couriers since they are legally barred from raising prices. So they position this as a new service.

Delivering products quickly to your customer is not “Instacart’s” business model.

They can spend more money to make the premium service work. Hire more delivery people etc.

Well I doubt that any of these have reached perfect design (the way that say, a can of Coca-Cola has) so we’d expect to see some minor changes. Hinges, ports, keyboard, etc etc

There were two changes in the "Softbank model" -- first was investing at this scale without a real network effect or any sort of "moat," and the other was just the sheer speed of the investment -- an avalanche instead of

The only point of the one year cliff is to pay someone less, or keep a startup’s cap table clean. For a public company there would be no point.

In some cases it’s not, some states like California enforce minimums, but when they are going beyond the minimum then it’s obviously up to them.

You cannot compare situations in the US to situations in Asia since the populations are so different. In Asian countries people wear masks regularly... in the US the Vice President considered it too emasculating even for a HOSPITAL visit. T

The idea that a subway system like New York's (or even more, London's) is NOT a major vehicle of disease transmission is an extraordinary claim that requires evidence more extraordinary than this.

On the "hacker's" resume for a security job? No, it doesn't count. From the user's perspective who had their data leak? Of course it counts.

It’s not just costs incurred by engineers, it’s costs incurred by users. If you’re providing file storage as part of your app, then for every engineer with a dev environment in the cloud, 1000 users could be uploading gigabyte files into yo

Bounties are a good way to solve this. Invent a new therapy? The government buys your patent for a sum proportional to the value created (not to the dollars invested) and releases it to the public domain.

If you are an insurance company and you raise someone's rates 25% it's just business -- risk management in large pools. As a hiring decision, though, any percentage discount makes it clear that you're not seriously worried ab

And it still works in market niches that haven’t been discovered by the dropship brotherhood.

And why will the Fed stop spending my great-grandchildren’s money to prop up the stock market? I don’t see a reason.

The thing is that the restaurant has waiters. Those waiters don’t take a vacation because they can’t afford it so Boeing doesn’t sell planes. Boeing isn’t growing so they lay off engineers who now don’t upgrade their iPhones. And Apple will

If they refused to hire you I’d be fine with it, but lowballing 10% means they’re not seriously concerned about the risk.

He is roughly equivalent to Lebron James in basketball. The team that he is on "mysteriously" seems to win, and win big, while he's there.

This virus is only two months old. Companies with cash reserves don’t have to lay-off immediately... they can wait a few months and figure out how many they need to lay-off.

Not really. Their thesis disintegrated way before this. Their thesis was that that even in a market with weak network effects, customer acquisition costs are high enough that you can spend your way into such a dominant mindshare that you en

There's a large gap between "let run out of control" and "stay locked indoors when the disease has been controlled." A gradual reopening starting now can find the place on the spectrum that works.

I don’t think you and I are talking about the same thing. I’m talking about a societal/governmental decision to sacrifice the quality of life of the entire society for the benefit of some vulnerable group. Not civil wars or ethnic clea
