And when did they release that paper? The pace of hardware advancement has slammed to a crawl over the past 10 years

That ain’t even keeping pace with inflation

It's funny to think how far the company has come. I remember meeting Reed Hasting for our bankers, when it was just mailed disks and everyone thought it was vaporware. No one wanted to do it, so they made the junior take the meeting. It was at the St Regis in NYC. Guy was visibly angry that all he got from a bulge bracket bank, was a junior analyst. I did my thing, asked questions that I prepared in advance. I remember asking how he grows and the scalability of mailed disks and he just scoffed. He said this has nothing to do with mail, this is about building the platform, as technology and data were moving at such a rapid pace, soon you would be able to stream to a set top box. This was 2001-2002. I think I might have smirked and when the bankers asked about the meeting, they were skeptical. While he is a a bit of a prick, he is a true visionary.

The execs thought they knew better than their own audience and proven creatives on their team. It happens every day in Hollywood. The pace of it is higher now because execs are mostly nepo babies or low iq employees that just drifted upward in the company. Their ego and shallow fragility forces bad creative decisions and fear against risk.

> The fundamental problem remains - how do you finish an incredibly complex and highly acclaimed fantasy series when its own author is incapable of doing so? That *is* a problem, yes, but not an unsolvable one. And it could be done fairly well if the creators weren't dead set on fucking it up at every turn. Also, it would probably need to be extended into more episodes/more seasons. One of the issues with the ending we got is that things became incredibly rushed and fast-paced toward the end, compared to the relatively leisurely pace of earlier seasons. It would need to be extended much longer to keep the pace more consistent throughout the last few seasons. ---- The *fundamental* -- and perhaps unsolvable -- problem, though, is that the bad version has already been released and *everybody* knows about it. The audience's trust has already been lost, and many of them have been so poisoned by the first attempt's ending that it has put them off of the franchise entirely. As a writer, I know how to fix the story. But I don't know how to fix the audience. I fear that any remake is doomed to have *much* less audience enthusiasm than the original ever did. Maybe if you just sat on it for 20-30 years? Maybe if you wait long enough, the sour memories will fade and people will be more willing to give a remake a chance.

Lol. At this pace, could've sold it down to 160. This shit can't gain any momentum while everything else moves.

Yeah ok buddy I’m sure you’re on pace to have 900% returns in 3 years 😂 whatever you say regard

---

At this rate it should be 200k within 3 years if it keeps continuing at this pace. Warren Buffet said you need to learn to make money while you sleep or else you will be forever poor.

Stock is gonna be 5x in 5 years fersure at this pace

- We're now aggressively not vaccinating in the US. - Trillions in student loan and credit cards with high and rising default rates for consumers - Commercial real estate will never recover from remote/hybrid work, trillions and trillions there that has been patched, bandaged, drug out for the last 5 years. - US IT sec is a joke at a federal and corporate level and is being actively dismantled to allow russian and other actors further in; soft but absolutely critical infrastructure targets like utilities could pretty much stop the nation - The colorado river's two largest lakes that feed AZ, NV and CA are at 29 and 32% capacity and the pace of loss accelerates with each year as climate warms, populations grow and corporate exploitation continues unchecked. I'm hoping Canada invades.
