Show me that magic unicorn company that spins data centres like that with 0 documentation bugs and I’ll join you criticising them. As it stands with limited resources I am pretty impressed with the speed AWS keeps adding capacity around the

One way to win at anything in life is to be counter cyclical. Sure you can also win by being best but the numbers are stacked against you when everyone is doing the same. As someone funnily quipped the pandemic is so bad that most places a

So they probably need to let go of those staff and projects rather than raising money at high interest?

“ If you can buy distressed property or businesses at the "end" of the pandemic”. Even if that goes as planned timing it is going to be tricky as there are a lot of punters in the same business- VC firms buying distressed busines

Assuming one made the right choices and is 100% cash, what now? Do you buy the dub on equities? In my view cash is also getting diluted by gov action, which can be nicely summed up by the meme money printer go brrrrr
