>3 (syntax) seems to be about not supporting the author's own highly idiosyncratic habits
Yeah, I don't get the author at all. Using indentation is so, so, so, so, much cleaner and easier to understand, even with lots of nesting than trying to figure out if you closed all the stupid curly braces, curly braces be damned.
>You are not lending the entire economy and then demanding more than the economy be paid back.
You are right that you are not lending the entire economy, I was just making the example as simple as possible. But, the second interest is being charged then the demand of money back exceeds the actual money supply. What companies and investors do to increase revue for 1 particular organization has no effect on the money supply. All companies are doing are vying to try and redistribute the money that already exists in their favor, they aren't creating money (if they are that is called counterfeiting and is illegal).
> Even if that were the case, isn't that what QE does?
Yes, QE increases the money supply. I am not saying that the money supply doesn't get increased (by the Federal Reserve), merely pointing out the fact that once you get on this treadmill it just goes faster and faster and faster, and there is no way to get off without a disaster (bubble).
>What happens when there are new entrants to your economy?
Nothing.
>Are they all forced to split the 100k?
No, if the new entrant can provide value then someone that already has some that $100K can give it to them for a good or service.
>If not, where does new money come from? Magic?
Comes from the Federal Reserve, when they decided to increase the money supply. The problem is you are on a never ending treadmill that is designed to have bubbles and failures, not that new money has to sometimes be created.
>I think you are implying the companies and people borrow money for shits and giggles.
Nope. I was just using an example. It could have been $100k and only $50K was lent out. You sill would need $105k at the end of the year to satisfy all debts and have an equilibrium within the economy. Where is the extra $5K coming from? Magic??
> The reality is that most companies borrow money only when the availability of extra capital would help them generate more revenues or capture additional market share.
This doesn't change the fact that the demand back for money will exceed the actually money supply.
It is simple math really. The fact that they are using the cash to, hopefully, generate more revenues is irrelevant.
Private companies have no control over the the supply of money. This is a central banking problem.
Debt with interest is inherently destructive. Inevitably the demand for debt owed exceeds the actually supply of money. To put it in very simple tangible terms, if the US economy was say $100,000, and say all that money is lent out at a simple 10% interest rate due back in one year, then a year from now the demand to be paid back is $110,000. Where is that extra $10k coming from? It doesn't exist. Lending with interest is designed to fail. The only "solution" is to keep printing more money.
apples and oranges. Sure technically they are both provide "internet", but this day in age DSL speeds are just plain unacceptable. You might as well make the argument that residents don't have to go with Comcast, they can get AOL.
>I would have expected an explosion in sales with such a product
That is just unrealistic expectations in the server space. These aren't consumer products where adoption is fast. Business don't upgrade their infrastructure as quickly as consumers, and when they do decided to upgrade it is months of planning. No company is going to jump ship to AMD when their current servers aren't fully depreciated by their accounting standards, and they still have several years left on their support contracts.
The EPYC sales will come, but not overnight.
EDIT: And I am not sure why are are so disappointed here. Epyc sales and adoption has been in-line with what AMD has given as guidance. Why would you expect adoption to wildly exceed AMD's own guidance? I think AMD had aggressive but realistic guidance and so far Epyc has been great success and will only continue to chip away at Intel. Also not sure what revenue miss you are referring to. Overall AMD beat their expected earnings per share by 1 cent last quarter. If there was a slight miss on the Epyc sales then they made up for it somewhere else, but it must not have been a very big miss otherwise they would have missed the EPS target.
>which implies already having high privileges. (How do users with such high UIDs come into existence?)
I am not so sure about that. I work at a smallish, place and by default my AD account has UID of 945004649. Still under the INT_MAX but not that far off. Our domain controller is running Windows 2012 R2, and nothing was changed or touched regarding UID's, everything was left at the default. We just create users and get whatever UID AD assigns.
"Yeah, I just need to run to Home Depot and get some more nails"
A deck is that wooden structure on the back of your house. A power point presentation is an electronic file made up of "slides". There is also a "deck of cards", but no one calls a deck of cards just a "deck". Maybe if they called it a "deck of slides", or you know just use a term that makes sense, like "presentation".
You are already fucked at this point. I would focus my attention on prevent hackers from 1) gaining any unauthorized access. 2) from doing any sort of privilege escalation from a restricted account/service.
I live in a remote area, and so far have found the only carrier that has any signal at all at my house is Verizon. So I am pretty much stuck with them, unless I get at network extender/signal booster for another carrier and install it in my house, which I am not too keen on doing.
