But are they really 17% interest rate?

Is this an actual thing in the us? We don’t have 50 year mortgages in Denmark but I can get a 30 year fixed interest at 3.5%

Hard to say, really. Yes, MS can absorb loss if the value of their stake in OpenAI goes to $0 overnight, but how much of their stock value is based on expectations that they can sell cloud compute for billions of dollars? And how many private and institutional investors have a stake in that?

Where I’m at now we have those phone booth-style boxes for (video-)calls. They are pretty horrible but a big improvement over having people making calls in the shared space.

I’ve had a couple of months in a cubicle ones and I found it kinda eerie. I think it’s because it’s very clear that we were 20 people in the same office each of us pretending to be alone. I’d much rather have a shared office space with, like, 10 people…

Very inspiring, thanks for sharing! One thing I would miss from Spotify is the ability to check out music before purchase. I have no problem spending 20EUR on an album, but if someone’s telling me “check out this artist” it’s nice to just listen once or twice and decide it’s not for me.

I know there’s no tech fix for this, but I’d really like a stream-to-buy kinda licensing model!
