Instead of "nervous", I would lean towards hesitant. The actual question is: "At what price would you consider the product starting to get expensive, so that it is not out of the question, but you would have to give some thou

I would not say that this only applies to monopolies. You could add in companies that have strong moats, companies and industries that are able to collude(real estate brokers). Essentially there is more room for profit as competition decrea

Time and time again people are reminded that prices are not set based on some function of what it costs to produce the good or service, but by price discovery of the maximum amount a group of people would pay that would max out the profit.

For many, it depends what kind of setback it is. A technical problem can be intriguing and challenging in a good way. People problems or red tapey stuff can be frustrating(or vice versa depending on roles).

Greed has certainly been a defining cornerstone of humans for a very long time, so I don't doubt these kinds of things have been happening behind closed doors for a very long time as well. The truth is that everyone has a price, and so

I do think this is less a signal about Apple than it is about Berkshire. Buffett's motto has been "be greedy when other people are fearful and fearful when others are greedy". It feels like we have been in the greedy phase fo

This is another form of locking in the customer, because if at any point a customer wants to distance themselves from the brand, they are always distancing themselves from the "community", which is harder to do than leaving a bran

Felt really difficult to follow this article into any takeaways about the payments industry, it could be that I am just dumb though. Had to plug it into chatgpt to effectively get "it is challenging to use Visa's overall revenue g

Yeah because history isn't absolutely littered with examples of shiny things being dangled in front of people with the intent to entrap them /s. Can you really say this model will still be useful in 2 years, 5 years for you ? And

Doing something right vs doing something that seems right but has a hidden self interest that is harmful in the long run can be vastly different things. Often this kind of strategy will allow people to let their guard down, and those same p

There will be lawsuits, there will be negotiations for better contracts, and likely there will be processes put in place to make it look like something was done at a deeper level. And yet this will happen again next year or the year after,

It really depends on the size of the system and the definition of fault tolerance. If I have a website calling out to 10 APIs and one API failure takes down the site, that is not fault tolerance. If that 1 API failure gets caught and the re

Many systems are fault tolerant, and many systems can be made fault tolerant. But once you drift into a level of complexity spawned by many levels of dependencies, it definitely becomes more difficult for system A to understand the threats

These updates happen automatically and as far as I can tell, there is no option to turn this feature off. From a security perspective, the vendor will always want you to be on the most recent software to protect from attack holes that may o

Is there a point in the log where there is a time cutoff for a viewer of a page? By that I mean: in your sample user A goes B > C > D, then there is a view by a different user, and then we are back to user A. What if the time differen

Weirdly enough I was not very curious in my schooling years, barely getting through classes. As I have grown up, I have so much more curiosity about the world and my willingness to actually learn has skyrocketed. I feel like this could be a

Agreed! This website is akin to saying “this is fucking chicken and broccoli and eat it every single day because it’s food and nutrients and you don’t need anything else”. Well you know what, sometimes I like ramen or curry or a Twinkie or

Lifetimes of money, really? What is that measurement? Someone above said 2.5 million per square miles. Catastrophic damage from larger storms is often in the tens to hundreds of billions of dollars, so it feel like it would be in the best i

You really used a search specifically of people on their cell phones in subways as your proof that its the same everywhere? Wild.

I'm sure there are alternatives since mass transit has been around since before phones. The belief that the only option is to stare at a screen is a little bit depressing actually. I am not saying I do not do similar things, what str

Kind of expected this response. Sometimes self reflection is also an option.

Wholly unrelated but one thing that struck me about the photos here is that almost all the people in them are looking at phones. This was a little crazy to me in the times I have visited, when I would get on the train and there was this eer

This is not only a truth of the world we currently inhabit, it has always been a truth, of all the worlds we have inhabited. Power and greed go hand in hand for a reason and the struggle to find the balance is, and will always be present.

This is probably true, but if we are talking about climbing the corporate ladder here...that is primarily done through peacocking to management and networking well enough to get to the next rung, not through being very productive. If you ar

I feel like architecture has almost nothing to do with the low level task of coding, and more to do with organizing the order of operations which stem from the business level requirements, and identifying the services that will be used. Arc

There have been no CTOs at the companies you have been working at? I would think that in small companies the architect duties fall to the CTO. Obviously things vary though...if you have never had an architect, I think you are the architect

Another thing to mention is that if you find a way to do 8 hours of work in 4, almost no company will just let you take the other 4 for yourself, unless you do so quietly, so you have just created more work for yourself by becoming more pro

by mym1990 2y ago
My couple of thoughts, just based on my own experiences, are that: there is typically at least one architect above me(currently two, don't ask me why) that is responsible in doing the higher level solutioning. While I am free to give f
