5 days a work is diabolical. I was laid off earlier this year, received an Amazon offer and turned them down when I got another offer that was 3 days a week in the Bay. Now I wouldn't mind if I lived next to the office, but I don't. Commuting 5 days a week would ruin my life.

Now I'm definitely not "top talent", I'm as middle of the barrel as they come, but if I feel this way, I'm sure folks much smarter than me would just block Amazon recruiters on LinkedIn.

It's a pretty non trivial problem to build and maintain infrastructure and customer relationships at that scale, yes, including the myriad of services they provide other than just "compute slices".

The starlink terminal literally has GPS - so Starlink already knows the location - whether it needs to get more accurate coordinates using beamforming is a question.

Streams -> optimized for latency

Batches -> optimized for efficiency

You could also say "I made the billing a winged cow sailing a boat" and it would be a figure of speech.

Yes, but it is not a priority. GTM is the priority. Make money machine go brrr.

Where do you get your information from?

Floodlight companies don't appear overnight. I suspect they won't appear at all, given the instability of the tariffs and the fact that the next President (or even the current one) could wipe them off, rendering their shiny new Floodlight factory completely useless overnight. This extends to any industry.

Tariffs need to be stable and updated with several months of advance notice - otherwise they don't serve their purpose.

The interesting thing is that India already has high tariffs for goods coming from China, however this might be different for finished vs non-finished goods and for consumption vs re-export goods. The tariffs aren't cheap though. Iphones not manufactured in India and sold there are significantly more expensive due to all the tariffs.

Of course it does, it is just much less effective than the injectable versions.

The thing is, GLP-1 isn't that hard to make, and these compounding pharmacies make effectively the real thing.

Few people actually pay 1000/month. Most get it through insurance (I pay 25/month), and most of the remaining get it through compounding pharmacies like HenryMeds which comes out to 300-400 per month.

In fact, I know a few people who get brand pills (Rybelsus) mailed from India, where it's much cheaper. This insane pricing is a US only thing.

There's a TV show called parks and recreation which has that exact premise.

Even if true, so what? These are increasingly looking like a competition between nation-states with their trade embargoes and export controls. All's fair in AI wars.

That's not entirely true - the Tesla has a few hundred watts of overhead when charging - so a 240 W charger would probably not get over that hill. You could maybe keep the screen on and watch a movie while connected via USB-C.
