To be honest, it's the crashes during these 7% down days. Prevents me from panic selling.

I'm not a professional at money laundering, but under most circumstances, you'd want to do it without attracting attention.

If you clicked the article, you would see that it is in the first few paragraphs in bold: marketing and sales. Pretty much what most growth companies have to spend on in the earlier stages.

In addition, the spread can potentially get larger and larger with time, increasing the tax that you must pay to exercise.

"Uber uses AI, therefore, you don't pay a fair price."
Do you understand how many other industries use AI for pricing? What about buying things on Amazon? Hotels? Airline tickets? Gas?
You may as well go back to using taxis if you don't think Uber is giving you a fair price.

You challenge that it is stiff competition in your first sentence, then you define that Google is, indeed, stiff competition in your second.

If things were as simple as this, you could then always short IPOs for a while, and the expected value would be positive.

Re:Ask HN: Best monitoring system?

I'm a happy customer of Wavefront. I completely believe that Datadog can handle hundreds of thousands per minute -- especially if most of them are pre-canned, non-custom metrics grabbed by their agent. Hundreds of thousands of metrics/minute is a few thousand a second only. Wavefront does millions of custom metrics per second, which can be sent with different dimensions and tags. That's much harder.

Datadog may be okay if you're doing really simple stuff and not sending much data. Once you get to scale, you will need a system like Wavefront. Wavefront can take millions of data points per second, query on them super fast, and they don't go down. Every other monitoring system downsamples, or throws away your data after a certain amount of time.
