Google ostensibly offers this as well. However - I’m in the middle of moving us to Azure and I have more details on the Google deal: you only have 60 days to complete the migration…

Feels like this would make a total mess of a cap table. It’s effectively equity in all the ways that matter for minority preferred shareholders, except that it isn’t represented on…

What a farce. Everyone with a pulse can see the damage that Facebook has caused to our democracy and around the world. Facebook employees have a black stain on their resumes that t…

Yep - this is what 99% of electricity retailers do.

For wholesale players: yes. If you're a retailer and you buy an electricity future and then only use half of it across your customer base, you sell the remainder at real time price…

$1M for a six week “EM plus two” engagement is on the high side, but it’s about par for the course for most McKinsey contracts. The standard is usually $500k-$1M for that kind of e…

That's really false. They are professional drivers, it's much safer to bike around them as opposed to regular people who don't understand how NYC streets work.

Saul Kripke built an entire career on what exactly names are, as covered in Naming and Necessity ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_and_Necessity ), building on earlier work by…

Realistically a price higher than that wouldn't really have any effect on incentivizing generators any more, since there is a limit to how fast they can ramp up, how much spinning …

RTM prices in ERCOT can easily spike to the price cap of $9000/MWh during bad days: https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-ne...

It’s overpaying if anything. Why should the utility be forced to pay retail RTM rates for power that they could have bought wholesale a month before if they actually needed it? Uti…

Utility scale batteries are not yet a proven and deployed technology. Not to say there aren’t successes - Aliso Canyon and the AEMO installation in Australia have both been very we…

Wholesale price is definitely not “zero”. It fluctuates wildly, and if a retailer is exposed to the real time market at the flow date, they can expect to lose hundreds of thousands…

If anyone is interested in this type of work, our team at Amperon is hiring data engineers, data scientists, and front end engineers. We’re funded by SV Angel and Notation Capital …

You severely need to check your bias if, after years of extremely similar incidences, it took a white death instead of a black death to convince you.

Sugar is such poison. There is zero nutritional value, unless you're in the middle of running a marathon. It should be severely regulated. There is no reason it should take substan…

The author calls herself a statistician but has no advanced OR undergraduate degree in statistics. I would not put much faith into this "research". Making conclusions and recommend…

That isn't true. Making an order with an intent to cancel is a crime. Hedge funds routinely cancel orders, but they do not necessarily make them with the intent to cancel them from…

"A similarly-sized company of 15,000 might have 5 data scientists" - this is so far off the mark I don't even have a response.

Ah, the old "shortage" "issue". More likely, there is no shortage - just a shortage of engineers willing to be paid the low wages most likely on offer at these companies
