Allen and gates where writing code when they were in highschool when no one was writing code. They also also got 1590 and 1600 on theirs sats when it used to be super hard. These are super smart and motivated people. You don't they cou

You have to give whomever came up with 14nm process. Despite being super old it's still somewhat competitive. It's crazy Intel can't fix their process. They make more cash than amd, nvida etc. They make more cash than tsmc.

You might be better off giving the 30k to the poachers so they don't have to poach. I mean a lot of them are pretty poor.

Facebook made about 10billion in FCF this quarter. They could give every single employee a 200k bonus this quarter and they would still generate $20+ billion in FCF for the year.

It seems like Amazon is using their retail strategy here. It is basically white labeling the product. Just find a popular product. Copy the apis and call it amazon x. Open source license make it even easier.

When you can use the twice the number of transistors and they use 1/3 less power that is a pretty big advantage to work with. You might have the best car design in world, but if all could use was wood vs someone else who had a crappy d

QCOM doesn't care about performance. They are a licensing company that makes chips. Even if someone else was to make a faster chip they would still need to get a radio from qcom which would make it more expensive. With apple's mar
