I like this post. For the first time someone actually provided a list of things and more so jumped right into them! Most of the apple posts go into a long philosophy rant about walled gardens and other bs. Glad to see a legit list and they

Sorry for the tangential post here but the cost difference between hosting the GPUs and using AWS is jarring to me. The whole value proposition is to do things cheaper. Now I can’t understand how this can be correct anymore. Basit ever been

What? Telling a lie and calling names is not worthy of arrest in India? If so it's even more newsworthy :)

This is very interesting. I never thought of the enterprise side of things. Can you tell me a bit more about what these gaps are?

At the least he is not partnering with any fringe elements, but he is very serious about it. This also means if the board says we will sell it to you for $90 bucks he may back off, as coming up with another 40 billion might be very tough ev

The one thing I have realized two things over a period of time. One, we just don’t know human metabolism enough and we don’t have a standard way to extrapolate how a diet might impact the body. Two, all of these plans try to cheat and so ma

That need not be what the board wants and long term shareholders want. This pressure to accept an offer is for institutional (hedge funds) and short term investors. This thought process is similar to when the company decides to invest in th

Not really, as a counter argument, there is every reason to believe that Musk will make a mockery of twitter and run it into the ground. A social media platform with a lot of responsibility is not for someone as egotistical as Musk. If Zuck

Will that ever happen in the US? I cannot imagine it. A ton of companies will be out of business. A lot of our services will be forced to move to a paid model. I would love it but I can see Facebook and google, among others, spending a ton

I was not suggesting that at all. Cool new tech has more churn actually. I was simply saying, if someone wants unsexy that would also imply they want job security.

The problem is you will also want job security. The answer is to look in a company that is not tech. Lots of companies that have tech in the background, where it’s needed but not driving revenue. However even in that scenario there is a ris

It’s obvious there has been a lot of tension behind the scenes. There is a lot of passive aggression here. Musk in his typici egotistical fashion is probably trying to dictate strategy and direction for Twitter and it was rebuffed. Again, t

Nice! In many instances for me searching through subreddits is the only way to go. Did not realize a lot of us do it. Not sure it warrants a new domain though.

This is something I have been thinking about too; the question what’s next for Netflix. They feel done, now they are a phase where they just churn out new content and hope to retain the customer base. Netflix feels like it became more of a

This is exactly the kind of project a google employee would do with their 20% free time. It would also fit perfectly with the hundreds of custom search options in google search. But that is it. It doesn’t fit as a business by itself. Google

No wonder Facebook is spooked. They tried to get it banned in the US so as to buy some time, but it didn't work. I actually think Facebook would have banned the previous guy earlier but Peter Theil probably promised he could get TikTok

This is textbook example of a bad manager. These kind of people are the reason why employees leave. The person should be removed from that position and made into an individual contributor.

Is there any research into why college fee is going up? I read somewhere that the fee rose 5x compared to inflation over the last 50 yrs. Do colleges amass wealth and stash them for a rainy day? I am not talking about for profit colleges ma

You know what’s going to happen. The cop sees the person recording and walks towards him asking if they are recording and gets inside 8 ft and arrests them. Easy! Or another cop dashes the person recording just to stop and arrest the record

It has been increasing since 2008, without Covid the same graph would look very different. Its just that the fed just increased the scale so much that the previous level seems puny now, even though the y axis is 1000s of Billions of dollars

We did waste the 3 yrs before Covid hit by not increasing interest rates and not reducing Fed's money printing. I don't know if it's the fed or if the government pushing to win elections, but feels like we didn't take ca

Isn’t this standard pattern all over the industry? Companies essentially hijack the place’s online presence and force a deal with them. That is how all the delivery services boost their signup numbers.

I am curious why you went directly to a virtual representation. Isnt a standard Webex or zoom better? You see the actual video.
