- purple_ferret 4y agoWell they can get unemployment now too.
- smugma 4y agoIt’ll be at least 60 Days, as required by California law.
- voakbasda 4y agoSo, punish the true believers? Yep, this can only end well.
- rob74 4y agoOr the thinking went "Wow, these guys really signed that thing?! They must be desperate to keep this job, if they would be any good they would have gotten the hell out, let's take another look at their code!". By now the only thing stopping me from being convinced that Elon intentionally wants to drive Twitter into the ground is Hanlon's razor...
- runarberg 4y agoHanlon’s razor neglects the fact that there are people in the world that are actually seeking to cause harm. I also ignores harm as a byproduct of serving one’s self interest—or in this case megalomania. When there is this much power-imbalance, I actually consider Hanlon’s razor to be harmful. It does not matter to the workers being fired whether Musk is acting out of ignorance or malice. The action speaks for it self.
- narrator 4y agoAlmost every defendant in a criminal case would go free if Hanlon's razor were used. Mental state is highly important in securing a criminal conviction unless it's a strict liability offense which there are comparatively few.
- Tozen 4y ago> "Wow, these guys really signed that thing?! They must be desperate to keep this job, if they would be any good they would have gotten the hell out, let's take another look at their code!" ROFL! Should have been done the other way around, see if the code quality was good enough to keep, then send the "hardcore" e-mail. Doing it backwards, is arguably sadistic.
- jlengrand 4y agoOn a separate note, thanks for teaching me that there is more razor than Occam's!
- KptMarchewa 4y agoMostly visa holders not believers.
- joe_the_user 4y agoPunishing the true believes is cult-building 101. Cults techniques can be used to build organizations. Not highly competent organizations but barely adequate organizations. Musk can profit if he abuse Twitters market position, abuse vulnerable H1b immigrants and similar things. He hopefully he'll fail but I don't think we can assume he'll automatically fail.
- shapefrog 4y agoImagine having paid 2 months of your salary to lick Musks boots and be discarded and branded "not satisfactory" for your efforts. They should have at least gotten a horse out for the deal.
