Only under heavily gamed financial metrics. Using EBITDA for capital heavy businesses does not work like in typical tech businesses.

You can lose data though. Any open documents which aren't saved...

Yes but focussing more on long-term ownership, as opposed to the usual turn-around and flip or asset stripping methodology.

They are heavily debt financed I believe, almost $5 billion worth last I checked.

You see this in many things. Look at climbing for instance, or running. Once the first v17 had been done, suddenly many people did them. Or running with a sub 2 hour marathon.

Griffin and citadel less bailed him out, and more circled like sharks and made out with a good deal TBF.

From the Fed's own description of the dataset "The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) is normally a triennial cross-sectional survey of U.S. families. The survey data include information on families' balance sheets, pensions,

It's actually crazy that a music app struggles to play music many times. By far my worst big app experience.

Usually the ideas it that the theoretical maximum is not a local optima though, but some ideal global optima which you know you realistically cannot reach. That is you know the data is some size, and memory throughput is some rate, and cloc

I've always used this method of working and can stand by it. For instance let's say you are working on a high-speed real-time image processing system. If you know that each image is 1080p for instance, that's 2 million pixels

This honestly is probably true, given when I help students write personal statements for applying to uni, the most common way they got into computer science is video games. I know for me 16 years ago that was true also.

I don't think we actually disagree here. I agree broadly with everything you said. My point was mainly I don't see a reason to support that assumption that if pay pushes out low performers, I don't see a reason why it wouldn&

The commenter is stating that respectable journals accept a lot of bad papers. This is actually very true.

I mean, can't you just look around? Also from a business standpoint it just makes sense. Diminishing returns on product quality has been known for a long time. Look at Displays for instance. A set number of dead pixels is seen as okay,

I feel like this is the same problem USB and bluetooth have, where there are so many optional extras, that it's so hard to truly compare devices since a standard is actually like 100 standards packaged together.

I mean it makes sense right? Anthropic for instance has like, a couple hundred staff in London with plans to expand to somewhere just shy of a thousand. There are far far more ML/Maths/CS/Stats PhD's than there are openi

I mean a lot of successful new tech companies were about side-stepping legislation. Some that are missing here are airbnb which effectively side-stepped fairly strict hotel legislation (Though there is a case to be made that it simply impro

The BBC reported on it many many hours ago at the same time [1] with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero confirming there was an incident. [1]: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9793g34yvo

The most interesting thing is like, contrail conspiracy theories from a weather date collection organisation? That seems... odd to say the least?

That isn't true outside of tech? Finance/big law/consulting/healthcare etc... all primarily work on cash bonuses.

Almost like a Veblen good lol. The quality is seen as higher because price is higher.

Those countries also just have lower salaries for all sectors. The USA is just exceptional in salaries for many professionals. Just look at software engineers pay in Europe Vs US....

still incredibly common. The key is that they give you very low latency information since you get it line by line. They're not too expensive tbh and getting speed data is not too difficult. I've used modern high-speed cameras (&

I mean this is kind of standard in a lot of industries? Businesses get reliability/support usually for the price increase. Just look at lots of industrial tech. Or business vs consumer 3D printers, or business vs consumer laptops etc..

You mean to say you don't want to climb such classics as "Twatfield Thunderminge" ( https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/brimham_rocks-538/t... ). /s
