Wait till you see the vulnerabilities introduced... Makes you wonder how organic it really is

if you invest 20 and get 20 then you got 0% profit

0% NET accretive profit - the OP was saying that the invest/return wash doesn't affect prior profitability, just revenue. Obviously, the new profitability inclusive of the new revenue will actually by lower because of the zero margin wash trade.

Depends on when 20 goes in and 20 comes out.

And how inflation and interest are accounted.


Why would you say that? If take cash and buy an asset I haven't lost money.

But you haven't made any money either. That's what "profit" means.

Also, "the asset" here means stocks of a company that is losing billions dollars per year. OpenAI has no clear path to become profitable, especially given the fact that Google has just leaprfroged them with their Gemini 3 model.


I recall seeing this also happening in CosmosDB. Both auto and manual


S1 S2 S3 S4 sleep modes and what happened to the most useful of them ;)

What did the Romans ever do for us?


I dont know who "us" is, but probably roads and writing?


I think reference is in order... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ


Ohhh, haha thanks, now it makes sense who "us" is ;)


Well obviously the roads, the roads go without saying, don't they?


Those aren't roman inventions…


Roman-built roads and the spread of Latin were tremendously important. Noone said they were invented by them.


Yes they did… they edited their comment after I responded and could no longer edit mine.

You just looking for an argument? Its important people know writing and roads weren’t invented by the romans. They are given way too much credit by Americans with imperial ambitions.


I mean, I guess the aqueduct was a nice thing?!


GePeTO1 does not make Pinnochio into a real boy.


You're a brain in a bucket. What is the nature of the bucket is up for debate


Your brain is part of a nervous system that extends throughout the "bucket". Body and brain aren't really separate.


I think the bucket is bigger than just your body.


No, many of these building are way under 80% utilization.


Can you reference where that figure is from? Because what I can find, SF has a single-digit vacancy rate: https://nainorcal.com/san-francisco-market-report-march-2023...


How many of those non-vacancies are corporate held air-bnbs where they can make more money for providing almost no service? Hint: it's not a handful. Landlords strategicly take units off the market in ways like airbnb to convince cities that their rents (and profits) are just.


Like Manhattan? They've built a lot, and it's getting cheaper every year


Manhattan rents tanked during the pandemic, but rebounded pretty quickly after covid subsided. Supply and demand is such that prices may rise even if you build a lot of housing if there's even more people that want to live there. Big supply coupled with even bigger demand will still see prices rise.
