Any particular reason you need so much cash on hand?

> was going to write that there's no reason you'd want financial debt qua financial debt.

Yes you actually do want debt because it is tax shield.

This is an unexpected original application. Do you think people in a wheelchair would like to upgrade to a robot?

> The guy in Kenya likes to order food delivery quite a bit. I occasionally change his order to extra spicy.

> The guy in Zimbabwe works for a college of some sort. I make sure he's signed up for all the educational trips to Europe.

Both made me laugh, you are a wild man!

This is a false dichotomy, the point was that we should scale back all the QE shenanigans to prevent these second order effects.

Tit for tat with the lost of their audience capabilities Facebook leverages momentum on Apple's tax friction with Epic Games.

Netflix pirates their own shows to generate extra attention.

Smith, most common last name in the USA.

But it is pretty ironic accountant firms sell technology consulting to their customers while they haven't automated their own core business. Audits start at 100k for SME's because it is still billed by the hour. On top of this even the CIO doesn't understand IAM.

We should put a cap on M&A activities concerning more than 100 people on the payroll on either side.

> that his story is fiction that he might believe.

Could also be a psychosis. I had a brilliant friend in college that had a psychosis.

He kept looking normal but the stories he told were completely detached from reality. Over night he had several conspiracy like theories, contact with famous business CEO's, conversations with politicians, and was asked to run secret projects. When I saw Bob at Joe Rogan I immediately had to think of that friend back in the day.

To start playing aliens throw us a snowball. What would have happend when Oumuamua would hit our planet?

After you send an email as Sundar to jeff@amazon.com with an invite for a coffee and donuts at a Google office of his choice.

> even professionals don't beat the market most of the time.

Most professionals beat the market all the time but is diminished after the cost deduction of the pro. The pro always gets paid.

Are you running on StarThinker from Google?

This shiny piece of software engineering at their Github account is currently commoditizing the infrastructure F500 companies would outsource to SaaS and agencies because they didn't do tech.

Last year more than half of the big companies out of Europe started moving to a brand new in-house data driven marketing team. Vodafone and Adidas are already fully operational.

It's written in Python and it seems to operate like Airflow with DAG recipes but simpler without coding.

Plug & play realtime dash-boarding in Data Studio that can visualize a ridiculous amount customization of all the data Google services produces.

StarThinker sends out custom reporting via email of all Google ads services which even has a custom DAG rate limiter recipe named floodlight.

StarThinker supports currently more API's out of the box than you, even Smartsheets API has a custom recipe.

You can spin up a cluster with working UI in the cloud within 8 minutes.

Zeolites can do this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeolite

Is this leverage intentional or a side effect?

Isn't this Trump making clear to tech executives that he is the master and they are his puppets. Trump gave a top down order to Xi Jinping to basically split up one of the fastest growing company ever and he is not a negotiation about if that is possible.

What would have happened when China just let Google in for a few years and than say "Thank you" after chopping China's part off. Everybody talking about China only doing copying is experiencing cognitive dissonance driven by ignorance of the accomplishments of Bytedance & TikTok. Google still hasn't internally launched a Tiktok clone and Faceberg can't steal a specific feature that integrates easily in his products.

People are consuming content on TikTok because it has game like cooperation baked in and is thereby more engaging than watching Youtube videos, TikTok's dopamine hack is superior to Twitter and Facebook because those have disastrous 2nd and 3th order effects which get shoveled under the denial rug of free speech and capitalism.

This event is significant because this is the first China time beat the West on execution and originality of the innovation. People are panicking because the defensible network effects of the walled gardens do not exist when China throws a better mousetrap over the fence.

But how would you place that on range between a Sovjet solution and a homemade Minimal Viable Product?

> It was one of the engineers, James Liang, who just did what he was told.

Everyone is an independent agent and would like to avoid the most obvious Godwin here.

Science gives us a very sharp razor blade to separate emotions from facts. Even in western societies only 5 - 10% of the population is trained about people like Karl Popper and their knowledge.

It would be nice to have an option to not delete every photo after backing up to Google Photos.

It's like saying you are the smartest girl of the city.

When you have to say it yourself you probably aren't.

Thanks. I could only upvote you twice! It's so crazy to limit speech to not excluding any edge case. 95% are capable of doing anything they want and the other 5% will never want to be judged on physical constraints.

Lets take an example of the most brilliant people of our time while also extremely handicapt Steven Hawkins.

What would he care he was excluded in a statement like this?

If the state has more to regulate it will create jobs and expand it's sphere of influence.

> which combined with at least having many of the symptoms of ADHD

Have that diagnose verified. If you have ADHD your self confidence is based on life experience without proper medication.

With medication you would have done the exercises. Everyday in life you will be required to do some kind of exercise to make progress so I would like to advice you to at least explore getting some help on this matter.

Even on HN there was a pressure of the herd.

Anchormen, journalists do not have skin in the game like weathermen.

You underestimate your bodies strength. There are people of 98 years that do a full triathlon, so there is no excuse for you not to able to do that. You can do anything when you put your 10k hours in, but not on the first try.

If mountain biking is your dream buy a Trek with electric motor in it. They can give you extra lift till you accelerate to 75 km/hour with a dongle of $120. Instant pro biking experience without much practicing.

You are too young to accept any physical limitations of your body. Navy Seals talk about that being tired is just an emotion like feeling happy. Its all about your mindset.

> almost all customers would pay more for the benefit.

This is where you are wrong, how many paying customers does Google have VS users?

Platforms that are value aggregators decoupled value production from internal capacity.

Isn't Github basically the blueprint for running an infrastructure to manage a full remote coding workspace?

I'm actually surprised the mature way Microsoft handles the Github acquisition. It's not anything like that of what they did with Skype. What you are referring to a managerial nuances on a blueprint like this.

And it is not like Microsoft would have any problem to multiply these engineers salary by 10X because they still would not pay software engineering market rate in Seattle or another hub.
