Per your data they do 50% better the second time. That clearly shows a vast improvement in skill. A luck doesn't improve over time. If it was "mostly" luck they would get roughly the same outcomes the second time.

Google can reward employees because they make monster profits. If you can, you should get a job at Google and get a great salary (which is still a tiny sliver of Google's monster profits). If you can't then you have to settle for

It wasn't $800k for nothing. Every VC investment is a speculative bet on the future success of the company. If Baremetrics sold for $800 million, they would have made 1000x their money. If it was their only investment, then it would be

Reading between the lines, this deal wouldn't happen if investors didn't agree to write off their investment. So their choice was between nothing today or nothing later. Tax-wise it was probably better to write it off now than car

You imply that Tesla is premium nameplate and therefore won't grow in the future as much as other, non-premium, nameplates. That's not true. Tesla's cost to value ratio is the best in the business. Yes, you can find a cheaper

It should be valid to move `const` outside of the loop, since by definition it cannot be changed. `let` can be changed so cannot be optimized out this way (at least not without doing more complex analysis and proving that the variable is no

In this particular case, they were not optimizing for Chrome. They generated the code that was obvious to generate. Because of a perf bug in WebKit they added a flag to generate less correct code that is fast in WebKit. If anything, it&#x27

In fairness, GM got $2 billion worth of Nikolai stock for future vague work. The work they are supposed to be doing for Nikolai is the same work they'll be doing for their own EV trucks (that they'll have to have at some point) so

That's not what the article is saying. It describes a rewrite of a single service from Go to Rust. Reading between the lines, a rather simple piece of code. At no point it implies that Discord rewrote all their Go code in Rust and comp

Tell us how well Betterment did for you. I highly doubt it beats S&P 500 so you can do better by using Robinhood and invest into S&P 500 tracking stock like IVV. And the risk is more or less the same. It's not like Betterment w

That doesn't negate his point (that RobinHood can fill your order just as well, or better, than eTrade or Fidelity). If you're trying to out-hedge hedge funds then the only way to win is to not play. You can (and should) use stop
