That’s fair. Charging infrastructure isn’t ready if you can’t charge at home

Why is charging bad? Id argue it’s a plus. You never have to go to a gas station and every morning you wake up with a full charge for your day.

Not Toyotas first time either Toyota has said their solid state batteries are just around the corner.

Prom is definitely something the media pushes to be more important that it is in reality. It’s fun, I liked going, but after high school it’s pretty meaningless.

It’s good for existing share holders. IPOs can be bad for investors too. I wouldn’t want to touch this stock

He didn’t specify what election, so I specified this one

You think Biden running on the democratic ticket, trump on the republican, and Stewart on an independent ticket would have no impact on the election for Democrats?

No, he would only split the votes for Dems and give Trump an easy win

Computers only operate with a 1 or 0. Quantum computing is the ability to have multiple values between 1 and 0. This allows for more complex calculations to be done with less steps.

I would probably split it pretty broadly. Pre parents divorce was a great time. Once my parents divorced and changing schools at the worst time really aet me behind socially and I never really found who to be and was generally an unhappy person. Once I went to community college, I learned what I loved and found my intrinsic motivation from within. Post college has been nothing but a success as I continue to be myself, found an awesome wife, bought a house, started a family, and continue an upward trajectory.

Something everyone saw coming

I was on vacation in Denmark over Thanksgiving, there was always a police presence outside of every Jewish site.

I mean what do you expect from a brokerage that charges nothing for trades? It’s not like they’re a giant brokerage who can make up no cost trades with financial advisory fees

I think it depends. Sometimes they are scanning everything, sometimes they just scan the large items.

And that’s assuming they put in a battery that large and not a marginally bigger battery than the competitors.

Must be great to read if you were one of the employees laid off from these companies.

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

Now that is a damning statement. Usually an exec being fired is through sugar coated language like spending time with family, wants a new challenge, took a roll elsewhere, or retiring.

As someone who has to prep docs for the board review meetings, I’m super curious as to what he lied about

Revenue is how much you sold stuff for. Profit is how much did you make after paying for everything to run your business. They got $544M but spent $668M, so they didn’t make a profit.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. There are a lot of accounting tricks to be constantly making losses but end up cash flow positive.

I don’t work or invest in Unity so I don’t have a great understanding of their metrics but companies I worked at would constantly capitalize new projects to add expenses in the future. You can structure sales deals so a new feature is added late in the contract. That pushes revenue out, but you can collect more cash early.

If unity didn’t do share buy backs this quarter, they would have a positive cash flow. Which points to they should be a profitable company but instead are using accounting tricks to post losses to lower tax bills.

They didn’t earn $544M, they had $544M in revenue. They lost $124M but it’s all due to their decisions. They have a great operating margin in the 60s and spent all the money elsewhere.
