gberger··on Dark pattern: how YouTube makes sure you don’t always “skip ad”
I don't think the $15/TB figure is accurate. The list drives are either unavailable on Amazon, or they are external drives which would be unsuitable for a data center.

I think we're looking at $75/TB on the lower end.

gberger··on How much load can be served from 1m² of sunlight
Marginal cost of production? If we take "energy consumption" to mean "cost", and "serving web requests" to mean "production", then your fixed cost is the idle energy load, and the marginal cost is how much more energy you would need to serve an additional request.

gberger··on Robinhood S-1 IPO
The Chief Legal Officer, Daniel Gallagher, made $30M this year. It breaks down into $257k cash, $4.2M bonus and $25.5M in stocks and options. This is a far larger amount than any other executive.

In 2011-2015, Daniel Gallagher was 1 of 5 Commissioners of the SEC (Securities and Exchange _Commission_), the highest role of the SEC, appointed by the US President.

He was hired by Robinhood in May 2020, and his previous job was at WilmerHale, a firm specializing in defending other firms against the SEC.

This guy must be worth his weight in gold in avoiding regulatory fines for Robinhood.
