Doesn’t this prevent the GPUs from talking to each other over the high speed link?

There was an inefficient allocation of resources that was disrupted by technology.

I grew up in a city with insanely high taxes on cars and roads (Singapore). But you could get anywhere easily with the bus or MRT. In a rush? Your Grab taxi can get you there quickly and efficiently. I’m not sure why it’d be better to make everyone’s day worse instead. Does that really make the world a fairer place?

Yea you’re exactly right, there’s a tragedy of the commons situation right now. You could either decrease the demand or increase the supply to fix this problem, and it seems pretty impossible to increase the supply (build a bridge across the Hudson? That’s crazy). So here we are.

I’m a fan of charging market efficient rates for shared goods. The congestion situation in the Holland Tunnel is awful and bleeds out into various streets of Manhattan as well. The cost of sitting in crawling traffic with aggressive drivers cutting around is probably much more than an extra $20.

That sounds like a crappy business that can benefit from economies of scale.

How much do you think Lebron James would be paid in a free market without collective bargaining?

They don’t kick out competitors though, merely open up their own stores. To me (the consumer), that seems fine.

Actually, you can use another kind of spam filter - your brain.

I’ll take the other side of the bet, for $100, that the core product of Stadia (video game streaming) will still be playable 18 months from today.

I make $400k/yr as an immigrant, and boy do I feel exploited :)

Edit: Sorry for being sarcastic and flexing here. I’m friends with many IMO and IOI medalists (per the paper) who are studying/working in the US and I think it’s an amazing opportunity for them. Where I grew up in Singapore, tech salaries are way lower, and as a new grad I think I easily 3xed what I could’ve made back there. I’m not representative of all immigrants but I believe I can represent a class of highly skilled immigrants who appreciate the opportunity. It’s extremely insulting to call people like me exploited, because the next line is - I’m bringing down your wages.

TSLA was included into the S&P because they had a profitable business - GME makes net losses so the S&P won’t be bagholding it.

This is complete bullshit, you can enter your entire demand curve into the market with various bids.
