Be glad you don't live in a high cost of living area, my first thought was envy of how cheap that was for you.

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.

I remember reading in college and essay about school is for making you tolerant doing the same thing say in day out for 50+ years 8 hours a day. It really clicked and made understand why I did so poorly in high school but thrived in college.

The headlines just keep repeating. Insert newest generation and print

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

Always use steam gift cards already in your account for in demand purchases. It prevents the credit card processing errors

Use a gift card instead of your credit card to get your order in faster. People who preordered the first version got through quicker because steam could process the transactions while credit card users were stuck waiting.

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.

My kind of post

The original captchas were to help computers read scanned books for OCR. It was a neat solution that had value where it prevented abuse on websites and helped open up knowledge to people.

Now captchas aren't needed because of cookies and fingerprinting and tech companies know if you're malicious or not. They kept it going because it's so valuable to tech companies.

To train ai models

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.

Not unless you pirate it

It's also odd that sweet potato pie isn't a custard pie. They're both pretty similar and would be custard based.
