OP said "Even if they needed to hire a few thousand engineers at a few million in comp each". That's where the number came from. Nvidia seems to pay the bulk of their engineers 200k-400k. If the fully loaded cost is 2.2, th

Back in 2015, they were a quarter or two from bankruptcy, saved by the XBOX and Playstation contracts. Those years saw several significant layoffs, and talent leaving for greener pastures. Lisa Su has done a great job at rebuilding the

My understanding is that beneficiary trumps a will, and definitely trumps the default when there is no will. What would be the point of a beneficiary if it gets ignored even without a will?
