Looks like an opportunity to allow the time series to be adjustable at this point; I suspect "Transportation", "Food", and "Travel" will top that "Startup layoffs by industry since COVID-19" for quite some time.
> The entire consumer market is rotten. TV? It's going to come with smart apps. Get one from NEC that's meant for commercial use.
A TV has the potential to be a lifetime purchase, but the software on it can render it obsolete. I can always plug my streaming device of choice into the back of a "dumb TV."
I thought buying a TV was bad, but today I wanted to find a good digital picture frame. What a shit show, it seems that search term has even more fake review sites and SEO spam than other electronics, Amazon is full of Chinese brands with random names selling the same few models, and with even the apparently good ones it's hard to find out what they actually do and what not. And then in the fine print you find you they want to sell you a subscription, too, and presumably the thing will be worthless if the company decides to pull their app or shut down their servers.
I just want a frame that I can send pics to, or that pulls from google/dropbox/whatever shares, and maybe turn off when it's dark.
as someone that has worked with tvs for a few years I disagree strongly. Speakers are a lifetime purchase. A TV is not. Professional displays are super expensive (and often dont come with speakers). The pricing will also change a lot depending on the size. They are made to run 24/7 on airports etc. Today there aren't many display manufacturers anyways.
I would never spend 4k-20k on a professional display to use it as a TV.
you can still buy 30year old speakers for 200-400 and consider it as a buy it for life purchase.
I mean, the cards are selling at 3-4x MSRP right now. Won’t halving the hash rate just cause the price of the cards to drop to 1.5-2x MSRP and miners just buy twice as many?
Possibly good for NVDIA I guess (selling twice the units assuming the can make enough), but I don’t see this helping gamers get cards in hands.
Nope. These are new SKUs (LHR variants), not a patch that retroactively applies to existing stock/sales. If anything, so long as crypto demand persists, this will result in a upward influence on the scalping price of the currently existing non-crippled 3070's and 3080's. Technically Nvidia has existing mining SKU's (their HX skus) so new supply is still entering the market, but its unclear exactly how things will balance out. In the short term (assuming demand remands high for crypto cards), I'd expect scalped pricing to go up, not down. And that's assuming these LHR's arent compromised like the original mining-crippled 3060's have been.
I guarantee all of the countries on this list, both the Valley tech firms, and the Indian IT firms, have in-house counsel specially versed in this, making the process largely boilerplate.
When I moved to the US (to work for one of the companies on that list of tech firms), their attitude was "Do you need a visa?" (I didn't, as it happened) "Just let us know, we'll get you a H-1B". There wasn't any shadow of a doubt in their mind that it was much more than a formality.
It still about $6000 in filing fees and premium processing fees on top of the legal fees and meeting any other requirements the business has to meet to be in a place to sponsor them in the first place.
My experience with a large multi-national was that they outsourced all of the immigration work to outside legal firms. This firm hired a lot of immigrants, but I don't think it makes sense to hire full time legal immigration experts.
PlanGrid co-founder here. It's definitely useful for a project of any size, but the value definitely scales non-linearly with the size of a project.
If nothing else, if you have a construction project that has paper plans, PlanGrid is the best way to make them digital, shareable, usable by multiple people.
This wasn't readily apparent to me after watching your video so I guess I'll ask here - what do you think is the core value of PlanGrid?
Is the point to be a full document control type solution (e.g. - in the same vein as Aconex) or is it a collaboration tool focused on construction? It appears to be the latter?
I guess I could just ask one of the guys I know from DPR...
Construction is booming here in Atlanta. If you want a technically knowledgeable sales rep in ATL, tell me who to talk to. The app looks amazing, as in it's actually innovative, as opposed to just another chat or email client. I'd love to be a part of that type of company.
Texas is known for many things, but not fashion. Neiman Marcus is more about luxury goods than fashion. JC Penney is more about the clothing, and even with the lower end of the market you still have to follow trends. Also you have to attract talent: And I just don't see people with a fashion sense running to Texas for the opportunities. And yes you can be an exception to the rule — but then you have to really work hard at it.
They actually have been trying to move the government functions to Sejong City(which is 120km south of Seoul), but the courts stopped it from happening:
I don't follow Korean politics, so I don't know if the motivations were to escape NK artillery or some other reason, but it seems like organizing a massive move is just one of those things democracy is bad at.
