Wow, good to know. Can you tell me what company you work for so I can make sure it's not part of my stack?

A 400k mortgage needs a new roof after 25 years. A data center needs its hardware completely replenished after 5 (or less).

Looks like StackOverflow was already declining by the time ChatGPT came out

Love that theatre

Actually, the group in question have repeatedly and vocally asked others to speak up when they see nonsense like this.

It depends on the application. Dissertation? Hell naw. Blog post? Absolutely, run it through that thing.

I bet the author submitted "to BBB-, one above junk" and an ignorant editor turned the minus into an em dash

Very cool, thanks!

ARR is best month times twelve, not revenue per year.

The Uber drivers created that value and should get those billions, not Travis Kalanick.

What's missing is that the billion-dollar value is based on the expectation of exploiting the employees/customers/environment to achieve profit in the future.

Luckily, billionaires don't have to worry about that.

That's why they're so keen to build out all these data centers; the massive capex is their only conceivable moat. Whether all those additional parameters actually make a competitive difference is still an open question.

Collecting rent maps exactly to that definition.
