Yes. It’s almost never too early to build a financial model. As noted in the original article, your model will always be wrong. However, the exercise of creating the model and using it to build out strawman scenarios is enormously helpfu

Beyond being an interesting milestone, the Poirot novels being 100 years old means that each year more of them are entering the public domain. It’s fun to follow along Agatha Christie’s career as an author each year as novels drop: http:&

It’s typical for US based consumer electronics companies building products at that scale and complexity to have prototypes (Protos) that are form and function complete but made only partially with proper mass production processes (e.g. some

I assume both Epic and Apple are playing chess here. Apple must have anticipated incoming lawsuits as they cracked down on external transactions in gaming. It will be very interesting to see where the courts land, but it sure seems like E

I was curious too, and it turns out that Nano Dimension is publicly traded, has seen its market cap collapse over the last four years, and oddly seen a massive spike in trading volume over the last four months. I suspect this is another Mi

I think you misread my last sentence. Stolen goods are internalized costs since they register directly as a write down of value. An employee getting murdered in the store does not seem to be appropriately internalized as a cost though, si

Presumably there is some level of traceability to this. If a falsified photo is found on a document used to commit fraud or other crimes, the photographer who enabled it would be banned, blacklisted, and possibly held criminally liable.

In this instance, both laptops use LPDDR4x, which doesn’t exist in stick form. DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets are a challenge to fit though, so most OEMs take the easy path and go with soldered RAM there anyway.

A lot of that has to do with being able to run at high sustained clock frequencies by designing in an adequate thermal solution. Phones just don’t have the space to allow for that, so games have to be designed around throttled performance.

I’m surprised by the number of commenters who believe lead-free solder is difficult to work with. When it comes to soldering, it being easy comes down to: 1. Using good soldering techniques and practicing a bit. 2. Using good quality flux.
