Not anymore for most pilots. Pay has skyrocketed.

That thankfully isn’t true anymore. Pilots are now very highly compensated from the jump.

Found the person who doesn’t own a Tesla.

My Tesla did monumentally stupid things on the regular on autopilot. Like phantom braking. It would slam on the brakes while doing 65 on the highway because of shadows. You’d be flying over my hood in your bike.

Yeah but the tomato pureé you guys make is way more delicious than the tomato paste that comes out of tubes this guy is referring to.

The max bracket starts at $693k for married couples filing jointly. The vast majority of couples making $1M-10M are not running that that income through an LLC and shuffling into trusts and businesses. That definitely happens - not with ordinary income, which is what those tax brackets are for. It predominantly happens with people putting assets in trusts (i.e. stock). There are ways to play games with ordinary income, but it’s much, much harder.

I did not say they should get paid 100s of times more. In fact I said the opposite.

But it’s not a leap to imagine someone who manages people has an outsized impact (on average) on the performance of the business relative to the people they manage. They set direction and goals - and while it isn’t more important than the individuals doing the work to achieve the goals, on average it has a larger impact.

Cushy office job or not, managing people is a shit ton of work, work you don’t have as an IC. It’s work that is often done after you do your day job. There are shitty managers just like there are shitty ICs, but if you’re talking in generalities, the percentages are probably similar.

They are probably still a little low - but there’s a giant gap between $400k and $200M.

If you believe that a lot more lower level people should make $150-200k, their manager should probably make more, and their manager should probably make more, and their manager should probably make more, and the CEO should probably make more and all the sudden there isn’t a wide enough gap to pay those people more. Would you want to manage a bunch of people for $5k/yr more?

Money that isn’t paid to employees is paid to shareholders or squandered on stupid stuff.

Their CEOs should make more, and their regular employees should make more.

They had the 100k warranty long before the theta engine debacle.

Their expected reliability is lower.

I mean, this is kinda the free market at work? Nvidia built and dominated a market, and AMD and Intel are pouring billions in to give people an alternative which will drive prices down?

nvidia is a US company. They are subject to ITAR regulations.

They need non-Chinese IP to build their GPUs and fab them (ie EUV tech and TSMC to fab).

China is a big market, but still smaller than the US and Europe by quite a bit.

Because it’s a government device, and account, they may not have that ability. The government could set the cap, I’m sure, but then if you really do need the data and have to call IT….

He mostly made rich people a lot of money. They are probably up overall on FTX.

I would bet most of the employees they want aren’t the ones they let go, but probably a lot more who went somewhere else of their own volition.

Lots of good employees leave because even with a great boss, if your boss isn’t getting promoted, you might not have a path for promotion without lateraling into something you don’t like, with new people and new relationships who might be worse.

If you’re going to do all that, you might just do it in a new company.

It’s always easier for companies to richly reward new hires vs existing employees.

lol WeChat who has a defacto government granted monopoly in exchange for all customer data being given to the government is going to drive the innovation?

There are many places things get done for refurbishment of seats and interiors - lots in China.

All places doing heavy C and D checks are FAA certified, for US registered airlines regardless of where they do the work.

Delta Techops does lots of work on their own planes and others.

Small airlines won’t be able to afford to run their own heavy check facilities and will certainly outsource.

HAMR is still not out, but will be 30+TB. We’ve had 20+TB drives for a long time. They’ve been plateaud there for a while.

Price per GB hasn’t really been coming down much on CMR/SMR.

Which was my point. Until HAMR is in use and at mass production, storage costs haven’t really come down.

They’ve been out for a while, but it’s the same SMR tech. HAMR/MAMR are just starting to get going that will enable the next leap. But they’re not shipping in volume and reliability isn’t yet known. It’ll be a bit before you see them in widespread use.

Enterprise NVMe drives can do sustained writes of 7GB/s no problem. That’s 58Gbps plus overhead.

That’s to a single drive.

If you are a film crew connecting and ingesting multiple raw 8k 120hz video to be edited, this is very useful

As to whether they use USB4 v2 or thunderbolt, I’m not sure it matters. They look pretty similar, but with thunderbolt it’s very easy to know what the interface is capable of. Good luck when something says “USB 4”.

USB-C is just a connector - thunderbolt uses the exact same connector.

Storage and creative use cases, 100%. If you have several TBs coming off each camera per day, you will 100% feel the pain.

Just driving two 4K monitors at 40Gbps is pretty much all of the bandwidth of TB3, assuming you’re doing 10b 120hz.

A modern NVMe can easily do 50-60Gbps per drive.
