He used that excuse to sell 9B of Tesla stocks. It's pretty hard to justify selling that much as a CEO of the company.

Patch panel is where your cable run terminates. Since that part is more expensive to fix, you don't want to touch it. The only moving part is a small cable from your switch to patch panel.

It does affect people who already bought a home, because when interest rate changes, home price will change too. It's not a problem when equity increases, but in the other direction it could be.

I doubt they incorporated in Vietnam. Most likely it’s a Singapore company, I found a Sky Mavis registration in Singapore: https://www.companies.sg/business/201913227N/SKY-MAVIS-PTE-L...

The difference is Starbucks have 6.5B in cash/cash equivalents, and there is no ways to convert SB gift card balances to cash. What is the hacker going to do with it, order 1B cups of coffee?

Apparently the money in tech review is in affiliated marketing and not ads. I've seen people pulling 200K a year with around 100K subs.

Yes. > 2.3.4 Previews are a great way for customers to see what your app looks like and what it does. To ensure people understand what they’ll be getting with your app, previews may only use video screen captures of the app itself. Stick

You kinda did this to yourself by using Swift when it was not stable yet. Meanwhile old Objective-C code continues to work just fine on iOS 15.

Even if Russia nuke a Ukraine city tomorrow I don’t think the West would get involved directly. Do you really want to fight a mad man who already used a nuke once?

China want Taiwan with or without TSMC. If China take over Taiwan the US will probably block ASML from doing business with TSMC.

Hetzner is buying cheap traffic, you get what you paid for. It's usable, but you likely won't get full speed outside of Europe. You can set up a VPS on DigitalOcean in Frankfurt as a reverse proxy if you need a better network.

Some domain registrars provide a catch all email for your domains. Just forward that to your own gmail (or whatever service you are using). That way you are in control of the email addresses and can take advantage of free email services.

People see servers with multi Gbps and think it’s a requirement for high traffic websites. Unless you’re serving videos, bandwidth is almost never the bottleneck.

Apple ran out of people to sell iPhone to and they’re turning into a service company to keep the stock price flowing. Infinity growth is cancer.
