Not really. Meta raised 10B (really their first debt ever) in April 2022, and GOOG has like 14B in debt. Google could pay that with less than a quarter's worth of earnings, and I think Meta's not far behind.

IMO, the market is overreacting. Both companies look pretty cheap to me.

No. It's very hard to go fast, and to get to Neptune, you need to burn a lot of fuel to get there. Getting home needs a whole lot more fuel too. Space travel is hard. You can go with lower energy transfer orbits, and wait forever to get there, or you can go high-speed and carry a ton of fuel with you.

I don't understand. You're upset that Go's documentation from 2014 is adequate, and that the language hasn't changed to make it obsolete?

I came to recommend this book as well. The book is simultaneously fascinating and terrifying.

You're writing OP, an almost perfect put. Although I have no interest in BTC, and would never take someone up on a bet like this, there's almost no upside on this bet for you.

The arbitrary signposts are because the only way to look at Bitcoin is with technical analysis and looking at the graph. There are no earnings releases, press releases, or business conditions to discuss. We can only look at the price, and speculate. (NB: speculate, not invest.)

You're asking someone to respect your choice to work from an office, while it feels like you're disparaging their choice to live where they want to (or possibly can afford as, for example, most of the suburbs have become cheaper than cities for much of America.)

Can we all just agree that people want different things?

I wouldn't take the opposite side of Google's bet. They're spending a couple of billion on the bet. GOOG, AAPL, FB, that's about a week's worth of earnings to them. And if they're wrong, they have a depreciable asset that they can spend the next 30 years writing down. NBD.

Uh, and demographics.

We published a 5% win, but it was really closer to 10% (for amd64). We were conservative in our marketing. The arm64 register ABI (which will be in 1.18 [March]), is showing performance improvements of over ≥ 15. (Rob Pike saw 20% on some of his stuff.)

The vitriol on HN for FB is something else.

The earnings for this company are truly staggering. They made 11$/user. Their earnings were up 34% year-over-year – on a base of 29B dollars. They made 10B more this year than they did last year, and the comments in here are all about, "boy Apple fucked them, and Meta suxor!"

You people are nuts.

While I don't love FB as an entity, as a business they are making fucking bank. They are running a printing press, and the world is eating it up. Y'all need to switch to decaf or something. Their numbers are truly staggering.

I care passionately about building the right team, and the right product.

I've been at FAANGs for approximately 14 years now, and am looking for a change. I've been a TL, manager, and individual contributor. I currently manage an /extremely/ senior team of engineers at a FAANG working on cloud technologies and computer languages. In the past year, products I've managed have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in savings to my company, and others in the cloud space. Would consider almost any role, depending on the product space, responsibilities, compensation, and team; but, it's more likely to attract my attention and serve you best if you're hiring for senior leadership or management.

I am a largely disinterested outsider, but I have yet to see any documentation and examples of misbehavior. (This isn't to say they aren't there, just that I don't follow Rust intimately.) The recent banning of a Go contributor, and the ensuing discussion on HN and reddit was illustrative of showing behavior, showing instances where people asked them to correct behavior, and finally their suspension, I feel will correct behavior.

I've been a SWE, SWE manager, TL at FAANGs for a number of years (>13). I've been in the industry for > 20 years. I've run the gamut on work from compilers to mobile to ML to signal processing to embedded RTOS development.

I'm looking to move to a lower stress lifestyle, ideally remote part-time Golang work. I am happy to consider other roles, but want a smart team looking to offload some crunchy work. I work fine independently and remotely.

How much of this is fixable though if you could have a normal social calendar? I don't think current circumstances offer a fair comparison.

EBITDA in a non-comparison context is meaningless. EBITDA is only useful when you're comparing ownership of two like businesses.

What is interest, if not an expense? What is tax, if not an expense? What is depreciation if not an expense? Alright, amortization, yeah, that one could get added back in – I buy that.

Whenever someone starts talking about EBITDA, check your wallet.

Important note: it's the preview release. Not everything will be done, there will be gaps. But the first parts of the work have already merged to master, and it's coming.

The merge has already happened. The generic preview is going to be in 1.18 (early 2022).

Probably because people want to spend what they make. If you live in SV, you see people driving Teslas, and you think, "I want to do that too." So, next time you fly first class for the family vacation, and stay at the pricey villa. On your next trip, you add a couple of private tours, and can't find a good return flight, so you buy some NetJets credits. Next thing you know, you're spending 65k/year for a nanny (to support those high-paying Google T6 jobs), and it's eating into the 200k/year savings it would take to reach that level of wealth.

Most people end up spending close to what they make. Most people don't save like what 100M would require you to save.

Just buried in the middle of the release notes: Oh, your code's 5% faster.

Ok, go ahead. Ask me a question. I've done > 400 interviews at FAANG companies, so I guess I'm due.

I bought a Prusa MK3s during lockdown (don't think I'll do the upgrade to the +, doesn't seem much changed), it is amazing. I've never owned a 3D printer before, and it was painless to put together, took about 1 hour to tune and fix one assembly glitch. It's sitting right next to me printing right now.

The other thing I bought myself was an M1 mac. I just got frustrated with cleaning my butterfly keyboard again, and just said, "fuck it, I'm buying one". It is an amazing machine. Battery for days, nice, light. It's probably my favorite computer ever (well, after my first – an Apple //e).

I think that's because Wall Street believes it when a company does that much more revenue.

While I support medicare for all, there needs to be a transition. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people involved in insurance that need to find new work.

probably because it worked so well last time.

Or your definition of conservative is different from OP's.
