Why is it meaningless? It tells you how long a clock cycle takes, and you can look up instructions per cycle for relevant calls. I admit the picture for what makes a fast CPU is highly application dependent and has a lot of variables to con

If you ever are curious about how product managers make their decisions, it's based on more that 'plenty of people'. If you want to be a good engineer, you should also learn the difference between zero and approximately zero,

It's for front-end development. There are ~0% use cases for a linux UI outside of development tools and maybe database monitoring tools?

I don't know why you're getting downvoted so hard. People here really don't understand the corruption behind even things like section 8 housing. They get so blinded by jealously that Neumann made hundreds of millions in a fai

I've used this technique to value growth stocks. It's mildly useful as a framework, but it has gotten me into some bad stocks.

Quoting statistics from labor union coalitions [0] (usually mob controlled and heavily influenced by their agenda) is really flimsy evidence, aside from the fact that causal inference is not a part of it. So, yes, I reassert this is 'u

Care to give some support for this intangible and unverifiable complaint?

I imagine a substantial part of this is the rusting of rebar in concrete structures. The problem of rebar has fascinated me, and one German company has begin making carbon fiber reinforced concrete instead of steel, with amazing results. Yo

Well, throwaway09223, you certainly sound like as much an authority as a former Wachtell and Goldman Sachs associate. Strong arguments like "this is utter nonsense" and "this is so absurd [that I can't actually argue aga

So, 10% of their net worth by leveraging what was thought to be illegal and unexpected seizures? Most of which was done by the EU. Sounds like a ringing endorsement of how the US would implement a tax that the wealthy can prepare for and ha

Russian oligarch yacht seizures are a better argument for them than for you. They're worth tens of billions of dollars, and all the US can get is a nine figure boat.

by kolbe 4y ago
In a libertarian world, you're right. But in the USA today, those "stupid investors" are often pension funds who will just tax you more when they lose it all.

That's not what he's talking about. Ruthlessness has its role in a robust ecosystem, but screwing with a company in a way that destroys its viability simply to trick some retail investors and pension funds into buying the worthles

Your timeframe on this is way off. He was not compensated at SPAC IPO price levels. The typical employee has been getting RSUs for years and years at valuations several times lower than their IPO level. No one took out a mortgage against st

I don't think the phrase "I'm sorry you were hurt" is appropriate for people who weren't morally hurt. "I'm sorry you were hurt" is appropriate for the retail investors who were bilked out of their sa

That has happened to me literally hundreds of times in my life. The real difference is my stocks aren't SPAC scams, so I'm not playing some pump and dump game needing to sell at the perfect moment, and then crying foul when a scam

How exactly was he hurt? He worked for a low valued company that was briefly viewed as valuable. It returned to its real value shortly thereafter. He had the same net worth he had had a month before. He just wants a piece of the SPAC scam m

Maybe I'm confused. Are you calling the addicts undesirables?

I wholeheartedly disagree. I have never heard of a single instance where they provided actual, useful, cutting edge actionable advise. I however have seen them payroll dozens of unremarkable yet politically connected people. You are repeati

The "undesirables" comment is a little harsh. You're taking about people who are foolish enough to trust that doctors have their best interests at heart, and get addicted.

This I think is the reality of it all. There's a subtle hint of extortion in their work. A tone of "oh, you need to lay off thousands of workers because your business isn't doing as well as it sounds? That's a shame. Tha

The original claim was that we spend far too much on prisoners, and the rationale is that it costs 10x more per prisoner than per student without any regard to the actual costs and complications of doing each job. The fact is that prisoners

So, you're aware that when I as this question, all the costs associated with the job are in the number. You only take home what you get after costs. Facilities, staff, legal liability, etc. I'm not offering you a job, I'm off

So you choose one prisoner for 168 hours a week instead of 10 children for 35 hours? Homicide is not insignificant for state prisons (around 15%). Violent crime is over 50%. And mental illness is a huge problem in prisons. Would you care to

I'll pay you $150k to watch over 10 children for 7 hours a day or one violent and mentally ill murderer 24/7. What do choose?
