@spooky_JL He should buy a really really big apartment building and cost seg it

Too bad he has to pay taxes on that

@McSmurray @BoringBiz_ Well look we both agree most of ‘high intensity’ white collar work is pretending to look busy most of the time so that you are available to get stuff done when it’s crunch time We disagree that that constitutes a ‘sacrifice’ Bullshitting on twitter is fun!

@RobertHarrisonv @BoringBiz_ oh sorry I didn't realize we were having a pedantry contest

Currently around that level of TC and here is my honest advice > any job that lets you make that much will absolutely expect you to sacrifice every last minute of your day to generate value for the company. Unless you are okay with that, don’t sign up for it > as you approach this level of comp, the golden handcuffs start to become very real. Your pay starts to get less weighted towards cash and more towards stock, RSUs, bonuses etc. If money is your motive, you will remain on the treadmill forever > it is more luck than you might think. A lot of people making this amount are not geniuses by any means. They know how to work really hard, and got lucky along the way. That might be landing the right interview at the right time, picking up a skill that turned out to be valuable, or just knowing the right person > sales. if you want to learn one skill, it is sales. every job that pays you this much ultimately transforms into a sales job. Learn to be personable and know how to sell, and you will never spend a day hungry

@McSmurray @BoringBiz_ You are listing the things you can’t do, but the list of things you can do is much longer - read a book - garden - have a conversation with a loved one - go to gym - play an instrument To name just a few

@RobertHarrisonv @BoringBiz_ Yes. The entire time you are on call is time that is not yours. You can't drink, can't expect to complete a movie, can't schedule a date, can't drive your kid to their soccer game.

@McSmurray @BoringBiz_ Let’s say a surgical doctor is always on call to perform an emergency surgery. Does that mean the doctor sacrifices every minute of their day?

@RobertHarrisonv @BoringBiz_ OP does not literally mean you are typing for 16 hours a day, you're conflating the difference between demanding availability every minute and being active every minute. I am available from 5am to 10pm 6 days a week, that's "every minute" of my time even if I can go to the Zoo.

@cocascola @jeremie0117 So if software has low cost margins and high profit margins, do you see how it doesn’t make sense to say cost margins = gross margins?

@RobertHarrisonv @jeremie0117 For software, extremely low. Their gross margins (marginal cost + sales commission) are usually 75%+. For hardware, their marginal cost is quite high. Ex - Dell operates at 18% margins. After sales commissions, and every $1 sold prob turns into $0.13 or so.

Citadel: ''Unlike traditional software, where the marginal cost of serving an additional user is close to zero, AI carries a meaningful and ongoing compute cost. The economics therefore depend not simply on what the technology can do, but on whether the productivity generated is sufficient to justify the resources required to deliver it.''

@McSmurray @BoringBiz_ Do you see how, under that system, not “every single minute” is demanded of you?

@BoringBiz_ @RobertHarrisonv They don't understand that you can post for 8 hours a day on Twitter and still work a 16 hour day. Twitter is the only thing you can do in the 4-8 minute bursts of free time that punctuate every 10 minutes of your day.

@cocascola @jeremie0117 Think about it this way: What is the marginal cost of adding a consumer to a software service? What is the gross margin of that software service provider?

@RobertHarrisonv @jeremie0117 Well gross margins = marginal cost. as a business, if your COGS goes down but your revenue declines commensurately, you're running to stand still

@cocascola @jeremie0117 Did I ever say anything about gross margins?

@RobertHarrisonv @jeremie0117 Hardware gross margins have not improved meaningfully. The end-consumer cost has but that does not mean it's become a better economic model over time as a business.

@cocascola @jeremie0117 That’s like the one thing hardware is famous for….

@RobertHarrisonv @jeremie0117 That never happened with hardware. Why would it happen with AI?

@RobMckenzie71 @Russ__ATX @barstoolsports Still got spurs in 7?

@RobertHarrisonv @Russ__ATX @barstoolsports Hahahahahahahahahah GO.KNICKS PUSSY

KAT picks up 2 fouls in the 1st minute This was overturned to an offensive foul

@nikicaga @53gaDr3amca5t Fair to say they collapsed into splintered dynasties that immediately fought each other It’s called the wars of the diadochi for a reason!

@53gaDr3amca5t I mean not really, Macedonian dynasties ruled the vast majority of his empire for like 300 years afterwards

He then died at 32 and all his work immediately collapsed.

@kieranwgoodwin Ok just keep that energy about a ruined NBA 😂

@RobertHarrisonv I have had Knick season tix and have gone to 25 + games per year for 15 years

Did Private Equity buy the NBA? Because somebody ruined it.

@chat_SBC This is how public markets are supposed to feel Up 29% every year is not normal

investing in public markets feel increasingly toxic/untenable unless you are at a pod and can manage factor risk understand why people allocate to privates where valuations are high but you get up-rounds - price action terrible ex semis and random zero revenue retail themes and now bad in semis - lots of charts below 200d, great earnings faded - very low valuations for lots of names yet no bid/support at any range - crazy volatility/swings on narrative, often intra-day - everything is macro/factor/basket and co-specific fundamentals just don't matter much

@tysonbrody It’s not that deep it’s hoops man

Dystopian high tech psychological warfare to keep the plebes in line, straight out of 1984….

@ShriyaSainii I thought this was an ai edit over JB telling Malika they were gonna win the next 3 championships lmao

this will be generational if they do it bro

@CNNallstar @mattyglesias ‘Broken up nicely, Luke kornet’ was the first call made Richard Jefferson did say goal tend after the whistle was blown to his credit

@RobertHarrisonv @mattyglesias No Richard Jefferson talked hella shit

Common sense is that you want to rig the officiating in favor of the lucrative big market team not whatever this is

@RobMckenzie71 @Russ__ATX @barstoolsports Looks like you landed on your feat as a very emotionally stable adult with healthy coping skills and great interpersonal attributes 🫡

@RobertHarrisonv @Russ__ATX @barstoolsports Yeah I've led teams to championships. While younger then everyone. You ever beat Lakewood nj ina championship while being the leading scorer ? Lol dumbass bitch Come check out my boxing skills too wya ?

@CNNallstar @mattyglesias No the announcers did not say anything live. Goaltend was not mentioned until replay was on the Jumbotron

@RobertHarrisonv @mattyglesias The announcers went wild too but I still think breaking up an alley oop was the right call

@jeremie0117 As in it got cheaper right?

@RobertHarrisonv It does not look good I agree
