The specifics of the article zero sense. Net Income and Operating Cash Flow are not the same thing so there is no mystery about whey they are different especially in a business with large Capex and long lead times.

NVIDIA's historic DSO figures have also ranged from 41 to 57 over the last 5 years, so again not that crazy.

On The Road was an inspiration to me in high school. I ended up doing a solo road trip around the west coast when I was 17. Met some interesting people. Mostly it was quiet. Not nearly the excitement I had hoped from the open road.

I’m not sure if it was his writing as much as the idea of him that I was infatuated with. Anyway, thanks Kerouac.

Exactly the same. I loved Dharma Bums much more as a book, but On the Road certainly changed the course of my life. I'd always been made to wander, but never fully understood it.

For anyone who didn't click into the article, the headline may be misleading without the sub headline, which currently is "Relatively speaking, California is not a hot spot for housing investors". The map graphic shows that 19% is lower than other large states (e.g. 22% in Texas, 21% in Florida, 20% in New York). And lower than other west coast states generally (22% in Washington and Oregon, 25% in Nevada, and 23% in Arizona).

But it is also the largest state with the most expensive home so on a $ weighted basis it is a big chunk of the national total.

If stooping down to their level is the move we make, then we should immediately stop acting as if we are more “free” or democratic than China. You can’t have it both ways.

Is allowing them to impose the same kind of restrictions in their US app as they do for their own citizens good for free speech?

By saying China's using Tik Tok to subvert "democracy," aren't we really saying voters are not individual agents but rather a mob subject to manipulation by propaganda? I sometimes cannot believe it's those who so loudly cry about threats to "democracy" that simultaneously take such a cynical view of the democratic process. Rather than tackle the narratives substantively, they'd argue about who gets to manipulate the mob. It's just wild to me. If that's your view of the electorate, then the whole "democracy" thing is just a cover for elite power. Honestly, maybe there's some truth to that, but it sure flies in the face of the sanctity of voting and "democracy."

I agree with everything you're saying, but I also can't fully square up that the equivalent American apps aren't allowed in China. This is about freedom of speech on app built by a country that has no freedom of speech. I realize this point is orthogonal, but is still an important element of the decision.

> We have had to go to private school because California does not skip grades even though it’s obvious the child doesn’t belong in the grade level for his age.

Be careful what you wish for. Skipping 2nd grade led to bullying hell until I stayed for a second year of 6th.

I think what you want for your kid is to skip N grades ahead in select subjects but otherwise stay in age peer group.

tims33 · a year ago

Agree. Social and emotional development is a real thing. I think most students (especially boys) are better off being more challenged in their age-appropriate grade-level than skipping.

Well there are serious network effects at play.IPv6 would be a lot more valuable if it was more broadly deployed.

tims33 · a year ago

What do you see as the key points that create a lot more value?

I wonder if they're doing this to just move the jobs to the Bay Area.

tims33 · a year ago

Probably just increasing the number of Accenture and Infosys offshore engineers and H1Bs they're using. Most of these jobs are probably old school IT.
