I don’t know how Google Pay works but when the payment terminal is ready for payment and you put your iPhone near it, it automatically turns on and waits for you confirm the payment. A lot of people have multiple credit cards. Mobile paymen

Wow. I was going to say that no one in their right mind would even consider putting all business logic at the database layer. I’m willing to bet there were tons of Oracle-specific features being used too.

I know one person who did as well but these are tiny percentages of people that can’t possibly be affecting these macro trends. That tax deduction requires having a business. The general population only knows the bare minimum to file their

Yea this article makes it sound like the loophole is the primary reason but I don’t think it’s even a significant contributor. Anyone can google the top 5 SUVs sold in 2022. None of them are over the 6,000 pound gross weight limit to be co

Lol since when is implementing tax policy changes a trivial thing to do? It’s literally one of the hardest things to do at any level of government.

This is a really poor generalization. Does anyone really think every company is a snowflake with a truly unique set of business processes? Of course not. Anyone who has worked at more than 1 company in their career can see lots of similari

I think that’s thinking too much into it. He could have spent 1/10th of that and got those things in return. These billionaires want fame and to be the focus of discussions like this one. They know people will be in awe over such a hug

I’m curious to know the answer here as well. I’m not a Firefox user, but given how common it is for sites to use localstorage, this is a really surprising design decision.

You’re completely missing the point. Many multi master databases exist. Network partitions happen. Bugs in multi master databases during network partitions have happened and can happen. This is like distributed systems 101. So given those

Yes but the critical difference is that AI couldn’t pass these tests if they weren’t trained on a very similar set of questions and answers. Not every person takes a SAT prep class to improve their test score. There are lots of people who

Yep, plus the shift to selling lower volume but higher profit products is accelerated when you have supply chain constraints preventing you from pumping out units in high volume.

Hah. I get your point but it would be an easy sell for them. The impossible sell would be to engineers. Executives would just compare operating costs estimates.

No, my point was that always selling at vesting is not good advice. If you were a long term investor and held onto AMZN over a 10 year or longer time span, you would have most likely been way better off than just selling at vest and doing

Wow. Never take financial advice from a stranger. Look at the AMZN stock performance from 1997 to 2022. How many people could have sold right after vesting, invested the money elsewhere, and beat the gains that would have been had, had the
