Yet another reason why BTC is money launderer’s preferred asset.


I'm pretty sure it's actully the US Dollar. More money supposedly gets laundered in USD every year than the entire BTC market cap.


Isn’t this a clear indication that Apple will have its own stand-alone GPU line? This plus the car news from earlier this week made me think Apple already has its own GPUs to rival or surpass Nvidia.

Edited for clarification.


Apple already has its own GPU line. It is in all iPads, iPhones, and M1 Macs.


Apple already puts GPUs in its chips. If you're suggesting a line of PCIe cards, I don't think that's indicated at all.


Getting an MBA right now is a clear signal that you have zero skills.


McKinsey also implicitly involved in the whole Valeant debacle. These guys love extracting, no extorting, “value” from thin air.


I would actually go one step further and say 80-20 is more like 95-5. Spend enough time in corporate environment and this will become so clear. That’s the downside of service/information economy.


Do quantum next.

I actually think quantum could save IBM if they some how manage to pull it off.


I totally forgot about quantum. Highly suspicious that Quantum will go anywhere - reminds me of 5th generation computing around the mid-90s which then sank without a trace taking billions of dollars with it.

Scott's rant below on it is epic. Even if quantum does go somewhere, IBM is the last company of earth I would bet on to monetize it ;)

If you’re an Amazon investor today, you might be asking yourself “how much of Amazon’s stubbornness was directly due to Bezos?” Seems that’s an important question if you thought Amazon will continue to grow.


It’s quite simple: generally standardized product sizes and media mail. Don’t think it’s farfetched to say Amazon benefited greatly from USPS in its early days.


But Jassy is not a typical MBA guy. He trailblazed the entire cloud industry.


And Tim Cook trailblazed the world’s most valuable supply chain, IIRC. I don’t think the parent was implying these are talentless drones, just that they are the obvious safe choices for succession.


Is value is the only metric worth looking at?

You know why a stock typically goes up whenever Wall Street “research” upgrades it? Their sales team spam calls all of their clients. I don’t understand how that’s any different from what happens on r/wsb. It’s really not the “DD” that matters but creating flow. Why firms like Merrill Lynch was feared. The whole industry is a complete joke and Wall Street doesn’t like the fact that their little complex is getting disintermediated even further as machines and self-directed individuals take over.
