That is just a generic trend. It doesn't explain who participated in the past 3 days of volume.

Where is the evidence that most of the volume came from wsb users? Genuinely curious because I don't know the details. Is it possible that a third party saw the situation and joined in?

He is more MBA than engineer at this point. Just because he doesn't have the letters doesn't mean he isn't deploying the knowledge and approach of an MBA.

His companies have successfully deployed plenty of MBA-style strategies and their "creative" financing/PR indicates this. I'm not disagreeing with the premise of his argument (I actually agree to an extent) but using his public voice to downplay the expertise of a large group of people is... odd. Fundamentally, his businesses have plenty of weak spots and maybe criticizing the credentials of those who criticize his businesses is a valid strategy?

The competitors will be fine unless Apple broadens away from SoCs (which isn't in line with Apple's walled garden approach, so I doubt it). There will always be a market where footprint and performance per watt are not issues. ie. I don't think the SoC vs CPU debate is settled.

I agree but it's close to looking decent - some basic design changes (especially typography) will go a long way.

This rationalization isn't acceptable to me. They have gladly set up the infrastructure to handle a high volume of new information and it should go both ways.

Good to see https://signedbywoz.com/ is still up and running. I've had the signed Apple II schematic hanging in my office for over five years and I unexpectedly find it to be a constant source of inspiration.

The announcement video is quite intense and feels odd for some reason. Maybe it's the aspect ratio or cold intro - not sure. https://youtu.be/z80K3-q3Kqg

Agreed and I still think it's a good primer to debits and credits on the balance sheet

Standards are always evolving and act more as a compliance tool than anything right now. There have been and probably always will be better metrics for "valuing" a business than GAAP financial statements alone.

Companies choosing to disclose non-standardized metrics are attempting to give you a better picture of the business. The problem, as you noted, is that sometimes companies will stretch the truth.

I don't think accounting standards are going to fill this gap anytime soon unless the SEC chooses to restrict that type of reporting altogether. I doubt this will happen because investors want more information, not less (even if you have to read between the lines)

This is a good overview in layman's terms - but as with most things it can get much more complex.

e.g. deferred revenue is a liability and although close, it is technically not really money that is borrowed. (It reflects services/goods owed)

I agree with the shared sentiment that FFmpeg is awesome.

It's the only way I can get mkv converted for playback in browsers. I believe that browsers don't support mkv/aac natively because of licensing but I would be interested if anyone has a different solution for browser playback.

(Speculation) Jim Keller to Apple soon?

I am fortunate to have had a colleague explain it to me but this is my understanding as well. Normally the cleavage would take time with possible undesired effects as a result of the process.

Impossible to prioritize which risks to address without considering difficulty and resources.

To add: It might actually help with commercial sales - the obfuscation makes it seem like there is more to each product than it being a cloud-managed version of what is done locally.

To add: Choosing which risks to tackle should definitely be weighted by difficulty, impact and available resources.

Also, this feels like it's forcing an external portfolio manager view on the internal operations of a startup. Nothing wrong with this - it's just odd to me.

I've used mongo before and I just started using Atlas. Anything you don't like about it?

I agree we haven't seen the Apple "Blockbusters" everyone got used to. Although many (like yourself?) are looking for leadership in creativity and higher risk endeavors, Tim Cook certainly has more business acumen which should not be undervalued. Does that lead to a boring company? Possibly.

Interesting, thank you. I know it's "faux pas" to discuss the algorithm but I was just looking for the submission again and noticed this.

Side note: How does this go from front page to Page 5 (Rank 120+) within an hour while having 100+ points and 150+ comments?

I'm assuming downvotes and users not interested in the topic but still seems extreme to me.

For a quick pizza, I use a "Ooni" pizza oven and the results have been great. It's relatively cheap and you can get the temperatures you are looking for. I joined their first kickstarter and have been buying their ovens ever since:

Edit: The video in the article is a pretty good dough "recipe"

If you go down the rabbit hole, when making your dough try to source some double zero flour (00 flour) and experiment with "hydration" percentages which is the ratio of water and flour. These are the two ingredient factors I have found to have the most impact. The "recipes" are much easier than you think - it's mostly a waiting game

Definitely not necessary to buy ingredients "certified" by the "Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana" but following the traditional methods yields some really tasty pizza.

Thank you!

Thanks for reading and the recommendation. You should see a white background! I am still tweaking the style for all browsers/devices.

They are more stable than ever right now - probably because the development community has grown in numbers.

I've been using a hackintosh as my main productivity desktop since about 2014. Details on my latest build here: http://stephenvescio.com/blog/building-a-2019-mac-pro-hackin...

A methodical and peaceful exit ultimately is more prudent. For speed and financial gain, you might be on to something but I think you pay for it in negative legacy.

"Yin said there are plenty of other simpler, 'passive-like' approaches to investing in private companies to consider, including models that don’t use leverage."

PE is debt in today's environment. The funding does not come primarily through investment but through the partnerships that lead to leverage the business would not normally be able to attain.

The problem is the purposeful deceit that causes retail investors to incorrectly assess risk. It's common in investor/public relations so I don't mind that Tesla and Musk do it better than everyone else.
