Yet another reason why BTC is money launderer’s preferred asset.

Isn’t this a clear indication that Apple will have its own stand-alone GPU line? This plus the car news from earlier this week made me think Apple already has its own GPUs to rival…

Getting an MBA right now is a clear signal that you have zero skills.

McKinsey also implicitly involved in the whole Valeant debacle. These guys love extracting, no extorting, “value” from thin air.

I would actually go one step further and say 80-20 is more like 95-5. Spend enough time in corporate environment and this will become so clear. That’s the downside of service/infor…

Do quantum next. I actually think quantum could save IBM if they some how manage to pull it off.

If you’re an Amazon investor today, you might be asking yourself “how much of Amazon’s stubbornness was directly due to Bezos?” Seems that’s an important question if you thought Am…

It’s quite simple: generally standardized product sizes and media mail. Don’t think it’s farfetched to say Amazon benefited greatly from USPS in its early days.

But Jassy is not a typical MBA guy. He trailblazed the entire cloud industry.

You know why a stock typically goes up whenever Wall Street “research” upgrades it? Their sales team spam calls all of their clients. I don’t understand how that’s any different fr…

My guess is they’re giving away a lot for free. Firebase free tier is almost too generous.

I would go even further. If I am building a next gen electronic wallet (which happens to be a side project of mine) I’d build in a full week of escrow-like mechanism by default.

I can maybe see T-0. But I am pretty sure Vlad is talking about near real-time. Even with T-0, most of the trading is done in the last ten minutes at 3:50 EST (due to vwap). I don’…

I like that Jassy is taking over. He really helped transform the world with AWS and Bezos’ stubbornness to keep failing is what allowed that business to grow.

There are many reasons but most importantly, delayed settlement serves as fraud deterrent and error/exception handling. Should be T+1 same as options. Think of it as a database, do…

I don’t even know what to say about this. It doesn’t sound like he learned his lessons at all. He’s calling for real-time settlement which is not practical for equities. On top of …

Was security implementation ever proven itself for Telegram? I remember reading a lot of threads on HN a few years back about how it wasn’t considered secure/kosher. I moved on and…

I found hygrometers on these machines to be not so accurate. It hardly matters in my use case because even maxed out at 4 gallons per day, it barely keeps up during winter heating …

I did an exhaustive search and tried them all. The answer is Vornado Evap40. Can easily dump 2 gallons in half a day. Nothing even comes close. Key is moderate negative air pressur…

Is it really? I absolutely appreciate that feature. Do we still want to be stuck in old financial system where it takes days for money transfer? It should all be instantaneous. Tha…

Imagine you found a number one trading platform and end up having to dilute your stake by a factor of 2 (or more likely) within a week because of a meme stock. I actually feel bad …

How’s that good for consumers? They get stuck with Tesla exercising market power and in some instances dictating implementations. As much as I find Tesla innovative, I don’t want t…
