I did not read the article - but that seems quite obvious - so the interesting thing would be the other side 'why SBC was not in GAAP expenses originally?'.

It is all relative - stocks prices are in dollars, if USD goes down - then it is rational to buy stocks with it even if the business perspectives are not perfect. In other words there is so much USD being printed that high inflation seems p

There is yet another thing about that quote. When I was still a programmer often the best ideas came when I had lunch break or a tea break or waking to work, etc. Our mind needs free time to make the deep connections. What exactly that &#x2

It is polluting the info-sphere - because people expect it to mean much more than it actually does. If the newspaper articles mentioned that the result has like 90% chance of being just a random fluke [1] - then nobody would care to read th

A broken clock and stuff. The problem is that this study is polluting the info-sphere, the flaw is so obvious that it should never get any wider audience.

I know it is about APIs - but no mention of any Free or at least Open Source Software example implementations makes me worry. I was expecting that people would organize around git repos - but no, just one of the many COVID tracing initiativ

There is also another idea floating - let the phones emit an ultrasound - then the other phone can estimate proximity, by the volume or delays.

Ad. 2 - it is not that bad: duration of proximity is correlated with both infection probability and connection probability.

Non binary data can be saved as text - for example you can have an SQL database dump. You can put that text into git. What does this solution add to that simple idea?

One thing that seems really important is that we get testing right. Here is a paper stating up to 80% of false positives: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32133832/ If that was true it would make all the stats nearly us

The question was not what buyback causes - but why a company would do a buyback - and the answer was correct. If you expect that your company will be valued $1.1 (in total) next year and the current price is $1 and the rates are much lower

There is a huge difference between the TV bundle and car as a bundle - the marginal cost of serving one customer for the TV bundle is near zero, for the car bundle it is not. When someone buys a TV bundle just for news it does not cost anyt

Another possible failure mode I have registered is that there are sometimes effective therapies that require strong compliance from the patient over a long time. Doctors cannot rely on the patients so much and they don't prescribe thos

It was not a criticism to Altman - I only quote it for veracity - the important part is the data. Altman's bet was that there was no bubble in 2015 and that his unicorn basked would not lose money, and he was right.
