Kind of? Companies like Salesforce, Shopify, etc. are still poster children of SaaS and their software is certainly not simple. There are definitely tons of the type of company you’re talking about though.

Especially for products with higher levels of network effect.

They're using Cloudflare. When I resolve them from the east coast, I got a San Francisco server once and a server in Budapest once. They have a server in Toronto, Ashburn, Montreal, and other places that are closer. I know geodns works

Definitely true - usually you don't have a choice though due to vesting schedules and/or illiquid markets pre IPO.

A risk parity approach would say more like 95% to 5%, but that works too.

The variance in potential outcomes of holding VOO is much, much lower than the variance of holding crypto. Buying VOO buys a share of the profits of the work of many millions of people. It also speculates that other people will continue to

Owning a small slice of a business where you're employed can also help make you rich if it grows a lot. In the tech world there are probably more financially independent employees than founders, because of the growth of some massive co

This seems somewhat plausible, but how do you know these organizations have anything to do with OnlyFans?

Obviously there is no perfectly accurate machine for any application. The extent it will be inaccurate depends on a lot of factors, such as tool length, material parameters, feeds/speeds, etc. You can probably cut aluminum somewhat acc

I find it very easy to tune my YouTube recommendations. If I open my homepage I see quality content on machining, optical physics, ML, jazz theory, battery tech, chip fab, interior/exterior design, rocket nozzles, etc… and not a single

Different platforms for different things. I never use TikTok, because the video media I consume is almost always long form informative content. YouTube is the only media giant with a large supply of this, and it continues to accrete such cr

For reference, using native 1Password 7 on an M1 Air, the main background app is using 190.8 MB and there's another 26 MB split across two other processes...

Most likely because credit card forms are very often served in iframes. 1Password fills iframes too (though maybe only for cards, not sure).

It might be fair to characterize some products traded on CME as gambling products, because people often use them to gamble. Though of course cash settled futures have other purposes too.

I’m sure you can also find instructions on how to make a DIY tracker that’s even more effective for stalking.

The Seiko 5 movement is reasonably thin but often packaged into a large case. You might not have the thinnest Seiko 5.

That's what you wrote originally - and to me it doesn't indicate whether it can also be updated from other sources or not. Lots of content is shipped in the iOS image but can update independently.

Is the database frozen or can they push out updates independently of iOS updates? If not, targeting individual users definitely doesn't seem possible unless you control OS signing.

Steel makes sense for extreme durability - I suppose you could use extremely thin steel wire for in-ears to make it flexible, though it might require a very special alloy to be thin and low resistance? In my experience, litz wire is excepti

I use litz wire for headphone cables. For a cable that's constantly on you, there's always some chance something happens unexpectedly. I've broken my share of earpods.

Buying a $10M painting is a lot more work than holding $10M in cash, but it does make sense as a store of value given fiat inflation. Buying gold is also easier than buying paintings, and buying gold ETFs is even easier. As is buying stock,

There are multiple large Rails services (I'd guess GitHub included) that internally have a majority of contributors in favor of an API first approach, but it's not mandated absolutely. Shopify has a component boundary interface in

There are art investors/speculators, museums, etc. who obtained money through legit means. Art in the millions is definitely an exclusive market though, and I'm sure draws various unsavory people.

> the art of it is something discovered and shared That’s what microtonal harmonic structures feel like to me, in the present day. Exploration and sharing of a new but familiar frontier. Even when done digitally.

As the sibling comment says, I mean you can access them from several countries. Collateral requirements vary by asset and account country according to national law. Generally it’s 50% LTV on equity collateral but leverage can be higher depe

There’s definitely some reasons for real value in defi but cheap loans is not one of them. With millions in collateral you can get ~1% APR from several places right now. That’s way lower than any crypto loan I know of. One way is to sign up
