Truer words have never been spoken. That and planning out your day & thinking through problems in the shower.

With all due respect, I think your analysis is wrong. He points out how much luck plays into everything and so even if someone younger with 95 year experience came out I think he'd…

I doubt they’d need to go public. Regardless of your views on Elon, he’s consistently raised billions privately whenever needed. Even without Starship, SpaceX seems cash-flow posit…

I was under the impression they can't due to ITARS / it being technically rocket technology. I know EU launches from French Guiana but that's still technically France or at minimum…

This is why I've been so curious as to exactly what Reddit is really trying to do with this api change. If the point of Reddit is to consume content then the content itself (and th…

My company came up with a structure where we have an overall quarterly revshare in replace of bonuses for the entire company. It works where engineers get X% and sales reps get ~4 …

I wrote a Go library for postgres & redis that handles all caching automatically. where all you do is input the queries your application needs and then it will automatically determ…

Two quick examples: 1. In our codebase, we leave links to the stackoverflows as documentation if it's something that someone else may question. Exact same concept just with ChatGPT…

I’m actually really excited for this because I use chatGPT all the time for work and being able to share the output of code to another engineer will make things a lot easier. I agr…

I agree. It's felt like a lot of online forums are starting to become Quora where it's all self-promotion thinly veiled as adding to the conversation. It reminds me of PG's The Sub…

I want to see him in jail just as much as you but I’d counter point that: 1. No bodily harm occurred in this act 2. Murder trials are usually easier to get evidence from

Except that the DOE loan was for 465m. If they lost 1.7m in the quarter then the DOE loan wouldn't even be 1 month of operations. Even with inflation, the loan they received wouldn…

My understanding was that if one goes out then they still have 32 left

You can after you get a certain amount of upvotes (I can't remember the exact number though. 30? 50?)

Could you do what Mark Cuban did and work with your brokerage to do sell calls & buy puts around the strike? That would lock in your price for a given amount of time.

The two hardest problems a programmer faces: 1) what to name your variables 2) cache invalidation errors 3) off-by-one errors

This is pedantic but seeing as the other comment is joking about his appearance then I do want to say that China is civilized. To say it's china vs. civilized is wrong at best and …

I believe they spent 2.4b on expansion but cashflow was still 1.9b. `Over the past four quarters, we generated over $1.9B of free cash flow while spending $2.4B on new production c…

According to their loan agreement w/ China, they must pay off their loans until they can repatriate anything.

I’m the short-term, yes. The assumption is that the company cannot invest the cash into its operations at a larger rate of return than an individual investor could therefore the co…

I was one of the first Griddy engineers (though I’m no longer there). We would have people call & complain when the cost for a day was much less & they had AC blasting. I wonder ho…

I heard through a realtor / friend that during '08 there were some home equity loans that were called back though. I don't know the exact details of those who had their HEL's calle…
