Yep we were also banned from Amazon for no good reason with our book https://juliadatascience.io . Guess what. I’ll jump through whatever hoops I need to just to AVOID Amazon. Well done Amazon.

5% is decent? The index made about 10% on average, Peter Lynch about 30%, and Buffett in the ‘60s was at 40-50%.

Well Visa does have about half a million net income per employee (assuming 17 billion net income which they reported in 2023), but yes you’re right. I thought the number was lower.

I think you can find businesses like this already. They only have a few capable people and that’s it. For example, MasterCard, Visa, RenTec, and probably some hedge funds somewhere.

Exactly. This is what Tony Seba is talking about for 10 years already! He talked about this in his 2014 book Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation.

Our World in Data Argues the other way ( https://ourworldindata.org/electric-car-sales ) in the first paragraph. With more scientific sources (I’m not saying science is perfect, but the Guardian and Washington Post also not.)

Batteries are getting cheaper by the day too. Price per kWh halved in China in the last 2 years according to BloombergNEF ( https://x.com/colinmckerrache/status/1800901575214514475 ).

I’m not sure. There is certainly a group of people that is okay with it, but I’m not sure how big it is in percentages. Sometimes I suspect these strategies might make numbers go up in the short term but you end up in a spiral of less carin

Indeed, I think price of electricity but also climate explains the large difference between UK and US air conditioning usage. Many people forget that London (UK) has about the same latitude as Vancouver (Canada).

The following sources are not the most reliable, but I guess they will not be an order of magnitude off. If you think about it, the numbers make sense. How many people have heard of Linus Torvalds versus Bruce Springsteen? I'm not sayi

Yes I agree about the frustration. I'm running some of my repositories on Forgejo and am starting to enjoy it more and more. Page loads and Git pushes are much quicker. Probably because my local server doesn't need to talk to, I a

I think this is the answer. Also, storage and compute purchase prices are probably falling roughly as fast (or maybe even faster) than their storage and compute requirements go up. So even with their massive storage requirements, I wouldn&#

So there is a clear result found and then post hoc there is an explanation made for why this makes sense. That's a bit of a red flag since you preferably hypothesize first, but let's look at the analysis. If I'm not mistaken,

No sorry but this is not how causality works. When event B happens a thousand times after event A, you cannot conclude that A causes B. For example, there could be a confounder, that is, a third event that triggers A and then B (so not A tr
