how much did SpaceX / xAI pay for these GPUs? After 3 years they'll probably be mostly deprecated.

Do you think a random Youtube employee makes that decision and can just drop it lower?

Wouldn't they be able to say that the actual revenue is just the 85% they get after Apple's take?

Why would Microsoft not produce them at scale? With Azure and internal use cases I'm sure they're at a good scale.

And then why would we want to give a country that's not a democracy free access to our markets?

People expect interest when they park a large amount of money in a bank. Where should that interest come from when the money just sits there? The bank will have to invest is somewh…

Agree, but that's how it always was before Covid.

What are you talking about? There is a Texas lawsuit about this against Meta: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/technology/texas-facebook...

That 3rd-party keyboard would also be able to log your Signal messages, so I don't get your point.

The thing is if it's a 3rd-party Android keyboard or similar that logs your messages then there's nothing Meta can do about this.

That's not true. User count is still going up.

what's also scary is that he could do this with pretty much every public company he wants (very few exceptions of companies with >200B market cap or so).

My view is that it's an effort to avoid regulation. It's easier to justify a fee of 10-15% to regulators than a flat 30% fee.

Moving from NYC to Long Island is slightly different than moving from California to Tennessee, so I don't really understand your point.

I don't think that's the main issue. I think it's that the general assumption is that Moderna vaccine is about 90% effective and AstraZeneca about 60% effective. I don't know how w…

Cool, maybe the US should also add some protections against German exports.

Wow, calling a pregnant woman "leech-like" is one of the most misogynistic things I've ever read on HN.

What also comes into the picture here is the extremely high cost of living in the Bay Area. Even startups have to offer $200k in non-"maybe" compensation to make sure people can af…

The driver looked up a few seconds before the accident, though and didn't seem to notice anything on the road.

Most people don't move because they "hate the bay". They might hate living in the Bay Area because of housing, traffic, etc.

I tried to look up the Skype acquisition since this seemed crazy and this is what Wikipedia says: "In September 2005, eBay acquired Skype for $2.6 billion.[13] In September 2009,[1…

> I recently read an article about the unit economics of Uber. It doesn't work out. Uber, in it's current form is based on leveraging free VC money to subsidize and incentivize som…

There's a lot of really scary stuff in there: - Cancel payments to U.N. climate change projects - Remove two existing regulations for every new regulation - Drastic tax cuts - Mass…

I highly doubt you can make these generalized assumptions from the sale of a single house.
