> Defense margins aren’t going to beat social media margins

Really? It's the first time I am hearing US is procuring defense for cheap!

If there is a margin issue, that's an efficiency problem, i.e. the company is being an idiot or deliberately wasteful/stealing (perhaps due to structural problems like overreliance on cost-plus contracts).

This isnt the first time you are hearing that social media margins are better than defense margins.

That is a misrepresentation of what was said, and an unkindness to the conversation being had.

Tech scales, in a way that manufacturing and physical products dont. I would assume that on HN, this is common knowledge, and that you also are aware of it.
