I think the difference now is that even a small company can aggregate data from all over the world which makes it more valuable- therefore a good data scientist/ engineer can be paid more than just ‘middle class’
The rich will not give away their stuff. You’d probably have to give away 90% of your wealth to be level with the rest of the world. Also it is communism and it doesn’t work in practice.
Question: now that we know that Intel is dead and stuck on 14nm process why has the share price not tanked yet? I mean it should be trading on the future PE?
How much iron is wasted in the process? I’m pretty sure they are not able to recycle 100% of the oxide and there must be some material losses.
Also what temperature do they need ? I assume they are making their own bottles so I wonder if a much more simple process to heat up using electricity directly would not be more efficient?
There is a huge difference between trading binary options or spread betting and holding a portfolio of FAANGS stocks. It’s very unlikely that you will lose 100% of your money if you’re holding more than 1 stock. Even ‘dead’ stocks like Boeing are pretty resilient on top of various bailouts and speculative hopes.
The way the market is structured retail traders are indeed the tail.
You have founders, seed rounds, angel investors, VCs, Private Equity and maybe eventually public stock market. So by the time retail traders get their hands on it, the value has been recycled and inflated many times over.
you misunderstood - it's not limited to cryptocurrency or even DLT - in making the whole scheme elaborate you bypass the traditional AML/KYC regulations - anyone can buy your 'token' without setting up a legal account or using a legal source of funding such as a credit card.
It's a virus not a bacteria so the proteins don't disintegrate. The probability of transmission outside is small as sensibly people limit the time outside, but the flipside is they stay indoors, in confined spaces together, which is perfect breeding ground for the virus.
Articles like this make me wonder how everything even works if basic math functions can be so wrong and how a simple concept like floor can have different definitions/ implementations
I’m happy to hear what’s on the market currently.
I’m still using older Apple hardware which works flawlessly.
I wish they’d kept the network products in production.
Well, the country is reliant on tourism.
But bad apples are everywhere, I think such people need to be held against their will until they are no longer dangerous to others.
Multi generation homes used to be norm but societies became wealthy enough to move away from that ( and various frictions it creates) looks like we’re literally moving back. Good for the environment, bad for the economy and mental well being.
Great Britain is now much more desperate.
It needs to compete for market share and access to markets like a 3rd world country but without the associated cheap labour so high tech is one of the few anchors where Britain might have USP.
But as you say with ARM that ship has sailed with the previous sale to SoftBank.
The only chance to salvage some of the know how (not the IP) would be if these specialists could find similar jobs in Cambridge but there simply isn’t enough opportunities especially as the broader market is dire battered by brexit covid and general stagflation.
Not an enviable position- bit like Japan a few years back.
Yeah, but it’s not cheaper than AWS or rather it can’t be profitably cheaper IMO because of lack of scale.
So as long as AWS option is good enough, as a CFO I’d go in that direction.
Nebulous claims like cloud neutrality don’t pay the bills and I have not really seen businesses jump from one cloud to another seamlessly, no matter the software.
In the broader market there’s still hype for SaaS businesses which Redis can easily become because everyone wants to be a rentier and earn passive income.
This is such FUD.
I run a company in Poland and pay flat 19% on profits.
You can also choose to pay 32% but you can then include a lot more expenses.
If somehow you feel neither option is good enough for you, you can run your business from Estonia or Czech Republic or any other EU country.
Interesting but the way you phrased it, doesn’t sell it particularly well - it seems to simply hide the underlying dependency complexity a few layers below. It’s still a node.js app with all the pros and cons of npm etc.
Arguably Pieter might be at this point already and he doesn’t care. With the right tech and more people he could scale some of his businesses further but he deliberately doesn’t want that as its diminished returns for him, personally.
In the end there will always be critics of UBI just as there were critics of combustion engine and now EVs.
It’s progress and not everyone gets along but UBI does circumvent some evolutionary barriers in modern society- the fact that even the most rich still hoard stuff is just natural instinct and you need some artificial mechanisms to work around that.
Even if that is all it achieves, inflation is much better than recession or stagnation.
It forces people to think of new ways to run business to stay ahead.
