Every person I personally know on this list made it their life mission to be on the list. It was lost on them that the whole thing has become a running joke that everyone else thin…

Another “30 under 30” grifter goes to jail. Separately, I hope a few folks at JPMC got fired over this. Even the most basic of due diligence should have caught this.

I see the string of “30 Under 30” being a statistically valid predictor of future likelihood to go to prison continues. These lists feed on the narcissistic tendencies of grifters …

Impressive round but it seems unlikely this game can go on much longer before something implodes. Given the amount of cash you need to set of fire to stay relevant it’s becoming ne…

Who is “Swami?” Although I suppose that’s just making the point that Amazon’s folks aren’t recognized leaders in this space.

This is a pointless feature that’s easily bypassed if you know what you’re doing. It’s there so someone can check a compliance box to make an auditor that doesn’t know much about t…

And yet ironically, in the US at least, there’s a decent chance that plumber actually makes more than a physician.

That’s the doomsday scenario and thankfully “completely useless” is quite unlikely. However all viruses mutate and so it’s only a matter of time before the current vaccines become …

It’s based on a sample and extrapolated out so it’s entirely possible initial immunity was overestimated. Possibility for bias in the sampling of who was tested and such. Hopefully…

Summary: This is concerning because it may mean that people who were previously immune (had COVID) are no longer immune or a new strain is infecting people even though they had imm…

This comes up every time Assange comes up. He’s not being prosecuted for being a journalist. The US has very strong protections for journalism that stand up to just about anywhere—…

Very little in this post is true and highlights the sort of false image people paint of the US: - Most people work multiple jobs to make ends meet: False - Low income people don’t …

A long time ago the best talent from PhD programs tended to stay in academia. That was considered the “prize.” Over the last 15 years or so the tables have really turned. Not sayin…

LinkedIn seems to be populated mostly with people looking to impress other people on LinkedIn. Problem is the only people truly active are those trying to impress others and the pe…

The fact that static old school servers in the cloud are more expensive than hosting it yourself is news to precisely nobody. That’s not the business case for the cloud. In 2020 if…

This is great. For many high velocity low runtime workloads this is going to be a result in a significant cost savings.

The numbers you describe are an opportunity but also a big risk. The problem with these app-based businesses is that there’s little brand loyalty. They spend a ton of money to crea…

1) The assets are not liquid. 2) Because the assets are not liquid the “value” of the assets is highly debatable. (Value of your stock portfolio vs private equity holdings). 3) Som…

I again suggest looking at other retail models. Grocery stores, department stores and such operate a sizable part of their business by simply providing distribution and shelf space…

Is a traditional store also not a marketplace for product manufacturers and distributors to sell their wares? It operates the same way. Drop off a truckload of your stuff at mega-m…

By this logic though shouldn’t “store brands” at the grocery store or “CVS brand” medicine at the drug store also be “illegal.” Both those surely look at which brands are selling b…

Agree, but I’d consider the photo quality printing to be more of an edge case for most users. If one just occasionally prints a few photos there are other inexpensive services avai…

Inkjets are just not great printers, especially if you print infrequently. Laser printers used to be an expensive luxury but they’ve long since become a commodity. Get a half decen…
