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.

:::: 5 days a work is diabolical.

5 days is fine if you actually get paid to live near the office. Except you dont. You get paid enough to live 90min away, which makes 5 days in office diabolical. Further, pay for senior is not commensurate to costs for senior (e.g., enough to pay for private school or for the SF public schools' "donations")

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

Provided of course that both cannot be achieved together, e.g., a low-latency solution is not itself high efficiency for the XYZ reasons specified.

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?

Apple employees. They may of been discussing a specific factory or component. I didn't care to pry.

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.

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

Even further, most drugs aren't _that hard_ to manufacturer.

The hard part is discovering them and proving they're safe and effective.
