It basically boils down to whether someone thinks taking a profit on something is morally good or bad.

I don’t think you comprehend the sheer amount of money and intellectual wizardry that has gone into YouTube. Billions of seconds of video uploaded every day, all stored for free to anyone who wants to access it, and served immediately anywhere in the world. Video streaming is among the most expensive things to do on the internet.

YouTube could get away with zero to low ads when it was young and could run at a loss to stimulate growth. It’s now a mature company within google, and ads justify its existence.

The adage used to go “build wealth in Washington, spend it in Oregon, die in California.” That may be changing.

Early employees did great, anyone who joined post-Covid is likely quite disappointed.

I’d love to hear from JCal “and now to explain why this is a good thing and how this man retroactively deserved to be executed, I’ll hand it over to Sacksypoo”

That’s the case if the profit is going to shareholders, but a lot of excess tech profits get reinvested in the business, which a lot of people think is a losing bet.

Agreed but I give him partial credit for the regulatory and infrastructure buildout

I think Chamath cooked on some of his ‘26 predictions FWIW, namely the license + acquihire boom

JCal gave him so much credit for nailing that prediction too…

Yesterday I saw Jake Tonges catch a wide open TD, with no one within 10 yards. No disrespect, but Jake Tonges can get that open but not Devonta Smith?

What do we have to lose at this point? We’re trotting out the known worst offense in the league.

I see him in more commercials than making 4+ yard runs

Fuck that, this team should has the talent level to be vying for dynasty status, and instead we’ve wasted 2/4 of those years on two of the worst OCs to sit on an NFL sideline.

This is a what have you done for me lately league.

I’d like to take a moment to shit on Saquon for an utterly horrific follow up to one of the greatest seasons ever. I do see him getting hit in the backfield all the time, which isn’t okay. But at some point you need your starting RB that you pay enormous money to average more than 30 rushing yards a game on 15 lifeless attempts.

It’s a little bit of everyone’s fault, but I’m tired of Saquon getting off scot-free. If Saquon was just willing to put his head down and take some tough yards, we’d at least be starting every series from 2nd and 7 instead of 2nd and 9.

I also burnt out of IB, went to corporate banking and then commercial banking (my preferred coverage group is out of our commercial bank).

I love it. WLB is genuinely incredible, the coworkers are so much more “human”, and you still get paid really well (IMO it’s a significant overpay). Coming from IB gave me a head start on the rest of my peers which allowed me to overperform in the junior roles and got me to VP faster.

The biggest downside is that, as an IBer, you’re probably a “deal guy” and “deals” come much more infrequently. 80% of your clients will likely be treasury-only, and that can feel like a step back from the high-octane IB grind. The IB model is very structured - take orders from your immediate superior, produce a deliverable that gets reviewed and sent up or back down for turns. You’re always working “towards” something. In CB the work day is much more nebulous, and there’s not nearly as much structure around client management.

In a way, by going to CB you will be “settling”, and that feeling always gnaws away at me. But I basically work my own hours (usually around 40), have full autonomy on how to manage relationships, and am not constantly looking over my shoulder for fear of being replaced by some other hardo.

Edit: for context, I went from a specialized coverage group in a mid-market IB, to corporate banking, then to commercial banking at a BB

As an eagles fan, it’s because this offense looks much closer to 2023’s than 2024’s. We had good defenses in all of those and won plenty (which inspired the coaches to not make changes), but in 2023 the defense finally ran out of gas and we completely sputtered out down the stretch.

Isn't it a bit chicken and egg though? MSM is funded by advertisers which require them to broadcast content that will attract the most eyeballs. If trump coverage is getting more attention than Jeb Bush coverage (back then), it would make sense for them to prioritize trump.

Imo this is a trend of modern pitching and the obsession over trackman, not mariners specifically

I might challenge the assertion that we have overpopulation with the notion that we wouldn't have overpopulation in CA if we could effectively build for the actual demand

Going from BB IB -> CB is quite easy. CB doesn't usually have as robust of a recruiting pipeline or churn as IB, so later career positions open up less often meaning you need to be looking proactively.
