"Total Revenue of approximately $1.8 billion Net Income of approximately $730 million to $800 million"

These are insane profit margins.

I remember the days when people were saying LiDAR will never be cheap enough for regular cars.

Now it's on smartphones.

Thanks for the correction, I didn't actually do the math for that, just remembered something I've read a while back, but the numbers where different 20% vs 21%.

Apparently I don't understand exponential growth either cause I assumed a 5% difference scales linearly (as in the difference between 20% vs 21% growth rates for a given period should be the same as between 2% and 2.1%).

Silly me.

And even fewer realize that a 2.1% growth rate is itself exponentially faster than a 2% growth rate.

If something grows by 2% per day, vs 2.1% per day, after a year the second one is >20x bigger.

This 100%.

But you don't need to go to Siberia for Earth to be extremely difficult to survive in. Wherever you are, if you lack technology your chance of surviving is very low. Without clothing, housing, fire, tools it's very, very hard to survive anywhere on Earth.

The only reason life is so safe and pleasant right now on this planet is because we changed our environment to make it so.

If we were to survive on Mars, we would have to do the same. The advantage with Mars is that we wouldn't have to start from scratch.

GeForce GTX 1080 Ti works fine with a 4k display.

At least they don't have to pay for it if they can't find a job.

Nice visualization.
