I hope it's accurate. What I should have said though is "This is not a *solvency* issue as long as SVB maintains their deposits", it's obviously a liquidity issue.

I wonder how much more accurate this would get if fine tuned on a set of SQL problems? Could even fine tune it on a per-company basis using queries that had been written by analysts in the past.

Honestly, as a PhD in anything AI-related you're not going to have any trouble right now. AI is the one area where everyone is looking for talent right now, even in a down market.

This seems objectively false given that the majority of extremely successful startups are founded by first or second generation immigrants, who are often not well off. https://nfap.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/

"let me track you or you can't use this" ought to be well within the law. The idea that is isn't is pretty insane government overreach. The disclosure should be clear and obvious, but it should also be the right of two p

That's a nice anecdote but the thousands of new, successful online brands that were built on well-targeted, cheap, Facebook advertising from ca. 2014-2020 are proof that your anecdote doesn't match everyone else's reality.

Of course it's a solution. The developer has a right to comply with the law in whichever way they see to best fit their needs as a business. If you don't like it then don't use the app, nobody is forcing you to and you don&#x

"founder model of get as big as you can, as fast as you can, by hiring as many as you can, so that the valuations keep getting bigger and bigger so you can cash out" I'm pretty sure I just directly interpreted what they said.

This is a strawman. Nobody operates this way. You don't raise more money by hiring more people. In some markets you raise more by making more revenue even if unprofitable, which is not great but is very different than raising as a func

That's an absurdly stupid claim, which you have no evidence to support.

Uhhhh.... do you know anything about Douyin? Yet you're convinced that somehow the TikTok feed is not manipulated?

Sounds like you (also) have a fundamental misunderstanding of the goals of advertisers versus the goals of state governments.

This is the most confused comment I've ever read. What are you even talking about? What metric did you think that a company whose goal is to make money was going to optimize on? What metric do you think TikTok is optimizing on (hint: i

That's patently false, know a number people who were granted stock in CA and later moved. The taxation is based on the allocation ratio, which is determined by the number of days you stayed in California. Some data on migration effects

Say $10m+ earners. If you're making that one-time and expect it to be a good chunk of your lifetime earnings it doesn't seem all that crazy to move in order to save $1.33m, or if Prop 30 passes then 1.51m. That's a free (very

Do you have any data to back up what you're saying, or is that entirely anecdotal? If that only applies to the top 20 families in the state then I seem to know at least half of them personally, which seems statistically unlikely. Regar

You can have plenty of friends while believing that not having any kids is a fail, 70% of married couples have kids. Also, most reasonable people don't alienate friends over differing beliefs.

How many of those were founded in the last few decades? Also, not really sure how state sponsored airlines and telecoms are a great counterargument to Europe's failure to innovate.
