It always blows my mind when I see people defend this guy.
He was so universally hated that he disappeared from public for like a decade while working with a PR rehab firm. That firm worked a goddamn miracle though.
Also, having a non-profit whose endowment is invested in your companies and their partners. He’s a piece of shit billionaire, but he’s good at being a piece of shit billionaire.
FYI, the user you’re arguing with is a <1d account that has only posted in this thread. I appreciate the effort you’re putting in, for those of us who have a very limited palette of what their body will tolerate. But don’t wear yourself out on an ableist troll.
The comparison makes sense for evaluating whether you’re over-invested in something. Like, if Nvidia suddenly poofed out of existence, would it seriously be worth 16% of everything the whole country makes in a year to get it back?
Owning a car that’s worth 16% of your yearly income sounds reasonable, no matter what your actual income is. A Pokemon card collection that’s 16% of your income is probably too risky, no matter what your actual income is.
Also, GDP is a decent scale to use for charting investment in a productivity tool, because if GDP ramped up at the same time as investment then it looks less like a bubble, even if they both ramp up quickly.
But that’s not what we see. We see a sudden and volatile shift, nothing like the normal pattern before the hype.
Those additional requests will reuse the existing connection, so they’ll have more bandwidth at that point.
