Has anyone seen stats on the cumulative collective market cap of MIT founded companies vs Stanford companies? I'd love a database of companies and their public valuations, tagged by the schools of the founders. My guess is that the mar

I'd love to see the cumulative collective market cap of MIT founded companies vs Stanford companies. My guess is that Stanford founded companies would win. I'm an MIT grad myself. But I've noticed the incredible productivity

These statements are hilarious. You're assuming that every human on earth is extremely selfish. If what you say is true, there would be no teachers in the world. Because most teachers make less than the students they teach. There are u

Your examples are actually edge cases that DCF was never designed to handle. There are lots of investments that are way more boring than Apple, Tesla, and Google, and that should be analyzed with DCF. DCF is more for slow and steadily growi

Do you have an example of this? I would love to learn more.

These will be remembered as the AI wars. Reminds me of the competition in tech in the late 80's early 90's between Microsoft and Borland, Microsoft and IBM, AMD and Intel, Word vs Wordperfect, etc. It's a two horse race betwe

Well, as a counterpoint, Apple did become a $2 trillion dollar company... Distortion is easiest when the products really work. :)

A friend of mine in college around 2002 was from Russia and had lived under communism. He told me his grandma cried the first time she entered an American grocery store. It was interesting to hear.

I've been waiting for something like this!! I don't know why this doesn't exist already! It would be helpful if you added more to the homepage. What languages does it support?

Aha. Thank you so much for that.

So, is Intel buying ASML EUV machines for their build out in Arizona? It seems like Intel is skipping ASML EUV entirely. If that's the case, I'm trying to understand how Intel ever gets decent yields at 7nm to 5nm. It's defin

But, did Intel skip EUV entirely, or did it finally start buying EUV machines?

by ijidak 2y ago
So, semi-related question. Is Intel buying any EUV machines from ASML. Not asking about High-NA machines, but regular EUV machines? I can't find the answer online although I do see that the New Ireland Fab seems to be in the regular EU

It's true. But what we often lack in tech is an understanding of humans. Like, real people. Big swings in tech almost always fail when we push tech fantasies but don't understand humans. And my fear is they actually set the indust

Tim Cook is Apple's Ballmer. Great with the numbers, bad with innovation. They need a Nadella -- e.g. someone who follows and navigates trends with great skill. Cook knows he needs to innovate, but he doesn't know how. I honestly

So, is Intel just too far behind to catch up at this point? It looks like there is a lot of progress by quite a few companies, but Intel is still floundering.

Targeted is a relative term. It may be very targeted compared to traditional television and radio advertising. Yet it could still be less targeted than ideal. Let's say my ad was profitable via traditional radio and television advertis

Agree. Although, de does mention that a barber shop counts. I think when someone like him shows up, kids want to hear about the extreme end of financial success. Hopefully those kids get to hear from other types of business people as well -

Got it. Appreciate that. That makes sense. Was genuinely curious.

I hear this often with regards to Postgre. Can't all of the above be said about Microsoft SQL Server as well? What prevents SQL Server from being used in the same cases you mention above?

The world wars were also about Total War. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war We definitely seem to be in a build up to a possible total world war. But this might be more like Hitler's invasion of Poland tha

National security is my guess. The inability to build ships at scale doesn't bode well during today's return to cold war / inter-war geopolitics.

Is there a reason CSV (as a source) isn't supported? I've been looking for exactly this type of tool, but that supports CSV. CSV support would be huge. Please please please provide CSV support. :)

It's the same reason that cooking recipes often become overly complex. (A sprig of this and a pinch of that.) We are often embarrassed by the simple. The simple makes us feel small, unsophisticated, and unimportant. I always find it am
