Not really. Once the models project that it's basically impossible, the DD's call it. They call states like California or Arkansas once they get the exit poll data, before any votes are in. Fox News called Virginia for Biden when

Everyone with the numbers called it back on Wednesday when Trump technically still had a lead. It's a double whammy: all of the votes left are not only in overwhelmingly blue areas, they're also mail in ballots. They're blu

It still hypothetically works, it's just much harder and not generalizable, so you'd have to write features specifically for flutter websites.

I'm pretty confident they're going to handle PRs via the github interface. I don't think they'd get many contributions if you had to email patches in.

I disagree, I think there's many times where a statement can clearly seem hostile, or jovial, at the same time, and adding some emojis to lean towards jovial will make it a 100% safe message. Sure, you can add context in other ways, bu

People should get use to using they as a gender neutral pronoun. If it's good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for random internet forum posts.

Ransomware attacks will often wait after getting into systems, so that they can also encrypt live backups. Air gapped backups from sufficiently long ago will work, but not only is restoring to those usually a pain in the ass, but would al

by stu2b50 6y ago
See, I don't think that's possible. VSCode only has 10 or so employees full time. I don't think they could make a good text editor with this kind of dev speed on 3 different platforms natively. Sublime is great but it updates

They didn't buy any stock. GM gets 11% in return for supplying and R&D for the Nikola "car". But they didn't spend any cash, and in fact get cash because they can reimburse 700M. In the worst case, they were paid to

by stu2b50 6y ago
The latter. Hence it's basically zero risk for GM. If Nikola is real, then the deal is good. If Nikola is a fraud, then it's not like GM wasn't going to do R&D on battery tech anyway.

VCs actually don't do that, though. VCs invest earlier and usually for a smaller, non controlling stake. PEs do the buy complete company, often through an LBO, "restructure", flip for a profit.

Not really. From a financial pov GM wins hard no matter what happens. Nikola somehow becomes a real company: GM gets 2 billion in stock + 700 million in cash reimbursements and a strategic partnership. Nikola implodes, then GM still gets wh

Worst case, and let's be honest, modal case, Nikola goes under and GM has tech and parts that they can just use on their own anyway in their electric vehicles.

by stu2b50 6y ago
Why? Their deal involves 2 billion in equity from Nikola for non-cash manufacturing work and development from GM.
410.
by stu2b50 6y ago
GM will be fine if they go under. Nikola is paying for them to develop and manufacture parts of their "car" with 2 billion in stock. If Nikola goes under... GM hasn't lost anything. They can take all the work they did and jus

Is it? $15-30/head sounds like a lot, but these are employees you're paying 30k+ to in salary alone, if the addition of slack makes them 1% more efficient per month, that blows past the $15/head. Forget the tech companies wit

Sure, their assets are somewhat fungible in both time and space so long as they meet liquidity regulations. Regardless, the point is that they can't poof money for themselves like the Fed, or another central bank, can. They can increas

That's what he's saying. They do create money effectively by loaning out deposits, but that's far from literally creating money. If they have a deficit on their sheets they can't just create money for themselves like a c

Their private valuation is more SaaS like, though. Revenue of 724 million, last private valuation of 20 billion, which is a 26x revenue multiplier. IBM, on the other hand, has a 2x revenue multiplier. Maybe this isn't the best metric t
