Comment Re:What is Cash Flow Management (Score 1) 29

I think it's more "will there be enough cash next quarter to cover the loans and leave some to re invest/pay shareholders, or do I need to keep it in the bank".

Not exactly cash flow, but I assume next is risk management. Like maybe tell Silicone Valley Bank that having all of your money in long term treasuries is actually extremely risky, because even thought the note is safe over the term, the current value can fluctuate (a lot).

Cash flow predictions are an excellent application for machine learning, though I would think a monoculture of everyone outsourcing it has real risk to the economy (hopefully the risk management AI will warn companies that if everyone makes the same wrong prediction they'll be fucked).

Sure, but the example given.

4g service rather than 5g (and I assume same frequency, since it's pretty hard to get the high frequency 5g in the US too, and it will likely be used to supplement the terrible wired internet access rather than mobile primarily anyway) doesn't really seem like a big deal to me.

The argument seems to be that my having marginally quicker mobile internet, and can now sign up for home Internet through a cellphone provider because the wired internet situation is so bad in the US that the wireless Internet is actually a better service the EU is failing.

I'm not sure I agree that $7,200 dollars over the last 100 years (2/3 of $90/month) is better spent because now I can get fixed point wireless Internet (almost internet, it's carrier grade nat without ipv6 passthrough as an option even).

It seems to me the extra $720/year is money poorly spent and solving a problem that doesn't exist in Europe compared to the US (awful wired internet service in general).

I bet self driving trucks could get 10% more deliveries/person in dense areas.

Park at corner, walk down block dropping packages, meet truck at next corner.

Similarly with drop off driver meet at parking spot (seems more dubious though traffic flow wise).

I don't think this is where they'll do it, I assume this is better predictions of logistics with less humans analyzing, but self driving would make a significant impact on the number of drivers they need.

Yep, as long as they don't oversell it I'm happy.

I will say that during the last week of December and a recent snow day it may have been over saturated.

Just a loose feeling, and maybe it was the corporate VPN due to more people being at home.

But when I shared over teams it was taking much longer than normal for my screen to come up.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
