Isn't it pure speculation on your part that he had non-passive intentions at the time he acquired the shares? The barrier to prove intent is high, and speculation doesn't cut it. It's valid to buy as a passive investor and th

If Elon wins his claim that they breached contract, he will be able to go after them for damages. It's pretty clear Twitter was lying and fudging fake user numbers, the question is how much and whether that was a breach of contract.

It's not different for managers. An L6 manager at Amazon for example will make around USD$170k total comp in Munich while new Seattle offers sit at $380k or more. You will take at least a 55% pay cut -- and that's just pre-tax. No

One just has to look at wages in Sweden and Germany to decide that its not in your best interests as a tech worker to allow immigration floodgates to open. Wages for a senior developer can be 250-300% higher in the US, with lower taxes. And

Maybe you've worked on the wrong React codebase. It's come a long way from the Redux & class-based monolith structures from early React. The components I work on and write are all narrow in scope, self-contained and completely

I'd quit any job that made me work on a jQuery/vanilla JS labyrinth. React is the best thing to ever happen to frontend development and from my perspective most contrarians on the topic haven't taken the time to learn React a

Humans are terrible at giving healthcare. There are 8x more deaths in the US due to medical malpractice than from firearms. Clearly humans aren't very good at labeling if they get it wrong a huge portion of the time.

It's a hard problem because the real problem is convincing a brain surgeon making $450,000 a year that he should be partially or wholly replaced with AI models. It's the same reason costs to build subway tunnels has dramatically i

Seems timely to point out that the CIA has had discussions about assassinating Assange [1] and tried to frame him with a dating website front that was completely fake [2]. The UK is a pathetic and weak pushover to believe the US' claim

The problem with hate speech is it's subjective and wishy-and-washy, so it tends to be hijacked by social campaigners with an agenda who use it as a weapon against ideological enemies. Prime example is transgender rights activists pain

Amazon accused the union of illegal intimidation of voters, why would you immediately trust one side in the matter? Unions and corruption/illegal conduct, after all, go hand-in-hand. Consider the fact the RWDSU was caught illegally int

Lying about the security of elections is a bit beyond "not perfect", no? It's one thing if their security was bad, but they actively covered it up and lied to the public. That shows malice.

How can you claim elections are free and fair if the parties that win every election are subject to massive corruption including cash bribes in car parks? By the way, this is NOT an isolated incident or even an isolated area. I imagine if B

The most concerning thing to me about Tether is they appear to own Chinese corporate debt for some unknown reason. Isn't that an insane amount of risk? In what universe is Chinese corporate debt even remotely liquid? It could be invest

25% isn't really good enough to bring it in line with other FAANG tier companies. MS is still significantly underpaying at pretty much every level. The only benefit to choosing MS is for better work-life balance than Amazon or Meta, wh

Presumably he presided over the only new features added to Twitter, which is more censorship and "adding context" to tweets that have a certain political slant. In any case, it's clear he did almost nothing.

Pretty laughable, considering Parag as CTO presided over the slowest product velocity at pretty much any major tech company. The product is almost unchanged, except additional censorship, since he started as CTO in October 2017. With that t

If Akamai were smart they'd buy Fastly yesterday, because they're rapidly falling behind. Cloudflare is harder to see because of antitrust concerns. With Fastly's current position, they should sell, and someone should buy the

Cloudflare is really fast putting the pieces together to become a modern simpler AWS. By focusing on edge networks and programmability from the start they've been able to outmaneuver AWS in product development and pricing. AWS today is
